putting your studs into someones shin is cowardly , we'll see what the FA make of it & i bet they don't say it wasn't that bad or i wonder if birmingham will appeal against the red card cos it wasn't that bad , going in hard is one thing but trying to maim people is wrong

I guess the hardest part in proving how much intent there was from Taylor which can be a tough call.

I didn't watch the match but think I could be forgiven for thinking that tackle 'on appearance' didn't look particularly violent when compared to other similar tackles over the years.

Then again, it must take considerable force to actually break a leg unless Eduardo happens to have what I call 'balsa wood legs', a bit like Keiron Dyer who seemed to pick up injury after injury once upon a time.

Whatever the outcome, it's a shame for the player.

I agree OC wenger was OTT but that could av been the shock,I didnt see anying bad in the tackle ive seen much worse come off withj no punishment

I've just seen the whole incident, I felt sick, fuck me that is soooooooooooo bad
Feel so bad for Eduardo, good young player, to see his ankle basically detached from his leg was shocking

it was an illegal tackle but like i say ive seen much worse just unfortunate for all involved

i totally agree mate, but there is no way Taylor went in to DO him.
One of lifes unfortunate incidents, its a shocker along the lines of David Busst at Old Trafford

In the news this morning I noticed Wenger's retracted his comments and admitted he went a bit far.

it would av just been his emotions,i reckon all would av been shook up by it

A statement to that effect was read out by Salt n' Lineker on M.O.T.D last night but I see News of the world still went with a 'Wenger says he should never play again' story.

Shit stirrers.
