Maybe at that point he didn't know the extent of the injury and was sheepishly looking towards the referee wondering what card was going to be shown. I don't think its the sinister smirk that it seems on the surface.

It wasn't even a yellow card challenge according to that intellectual mountain Steve Bruce.
You really do have to wonder at the rumours of the English game when people seem more concerned for the perpetraitor than the victim. The guys studs were a foot off of the floor ffs. Any Arsenal player would have been hung out to dry in the same situation.

Pretty sure he also bought quite a few players when he first came in, didn't pay as much as as Ferguson/United (mainly cos most teams try and get as much money as they can out od us) but he still bought players. This debate could go on and on but money will always play a big part in a teams success these days, example being Arsenal moving to a bigger stadium.
Fair play to Wenger for retracting his comments. Let's hope we can channel the disappointment and frustration into decent performances and finish with a trophy for Eddy.Last edited by neoboy259; 24-02-2008, 10:34.

After the showing on MOTD and the replays. I didn't think it was a really awful tackle. A fifty-fifty ball, 2 mins into the game and he got beat for pace. The ref gave him a red purely on the results of the challenge which is wrong because thats not how fouls work in football, Ice Hockey yes, football no.
A thought I had was did he have those stupid blade football boots on. We have seen a number of breaks and bad injuries, due to blades been so sure footed in the turf that your leg gives way before your grip does. At least old fashioned studs can spud and move in the turf.

I was under the impression that this type of tackle had been under a lot of scrutiny of late and was rightly considered not on at all. If its now acceptable to go in hard, studs showing like some karate champ, then maybe someone should notify the FA.

As a Man u fan I guess I will say i'm glad to see Arsenal get a taste of their own dirty medicine after they ran about chasing our players and kicking them in the back.
As a football fan I'll say that it wasnt very nice what happened and i hope Eduardo is ok....
As a neutral watching the game... The tackle wasnt malicious and Taylor was only in the wrong as much as anyone who commited any other fouls this weekend was (perhapse less so than some). The Injury was just an accident, it was pretty plain to see, both in what happened and the players reactions (for once even Arsenal didn't jump the Ref and Taylor knew hed mistimed his tackle) showed that.
