THAT TACKLE

[legend10]

I CAN GUARENTEE THAT IF THAT TACKLE HAD BEEN ON ROONEY THE PRESS WOULD BE CALLING FOR TAYLOR TO BE BANNED.

WENGER WAS RIGHT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE RETRACTED WHAT HE SAID .

NOW THE PRESS ARE HAVING A GO AT HIM.

LIKE I SAID ABOVE IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY HAD IT BEEN ON ROONEY AND FERGUSON WAS MOANING ABOUT IT.

HAVING SEEN THE PICTURE OF THE TACKLE IN THE PAPER I CAN HONESTLY SAY IT HAS MADE ME FEEL SICK. LOOK AT HOW HIGH TAYLORS FOOT IS ,ITS HIGHER THAN WHERE THE BALL WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HE IS CLEARLY GOING FOR THE PLAYER.

ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER TEAM KICK ARSENAL AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
WHEN ARE THESE WANKERS AT THE FA OR PREMIER LEAGUE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I agree. I hate the way everyone is so anti-Arsenal. W@nkers is all they are.

I agree with this comment that Arsene Wenger said straight after the match

"I knew something like this would happen one day. It goes with the idea that to beat Arsenal, you have to kick Arsenal."

I can't believe what that ex-y***o Kelly said though

"It was harsh Tiny (Taylor) being sent off. Tiny has gone in and it wasn't a malicious tackle and the reason the ref has sent him off is because he has seen Eduardo has broken his leg.

"I don't think you can send a player off for that. That's football. It can happen. It is an accident. Tiny didn't go in two-footed. He didn't lunge. He didn't dive in.

"Everyone knows what Tiny is like. He is such a nice bloke. He has not got a malicious bone in his body so it was very harsh for the ref to see the broken leg and then send him off because of that.

"It is a terrible thing to happen and you wouldn't want it to happen to anybody but I don't think that warrants a sending-off. People can do that with just falling over. Tiny has committed himself. He has gone in with one foot, slid along the ground."

Kelly felt Wenger's initial outburst was unjustified and the retraction on Saturday evening came too late to stop Taylor being portrayed in a poor light in most editions of the Sunday newspapers.

He said: "I think Mr Wenger's comments after the game were so harsh. That is disgraceful talk from Arsene Wenger. It is terrible. You know the way Martin is. He slid along the ground.

"He has gone in with one foot. You see players going in week in and week out, diving in with two feet, and lunging and that sort of thing is a disgraceful challenge.

"It is a terrible thing for Wenger to say, especially about someone like Martin."

No comments needed, what a bastard

I think arsenes only retracted it to save hassle from the fa. not a red card?what a joke you get red now for intent in a challenge
