They wouldn't show it on TV, so thats the first pic I've seen. Nasty stuff.
The game had just started too - Wenger is right, intent to injure or not the guy was trying to send a 'message' with the tackle - he knew he had no chance at the ball. Turned out bad for all involved - stupid, foolish stuff from Taylor. He should sit out for a long while.

Agreed. And he will. The League has no problem being harsh with non-marquee players. Arsenal and United are the prime (only??) examples of playing the beautiful game in the EPL. Other teams struggle to match them with playing back, long balls in and counter-attacking styles. They're simply outclassed. I'm sure frustration creeps in and this is a result. The EPL had better hammer instances like this or it'll become more prevalent. Eduardo da Silva could have lost his left foot had medical staff not been so prompt in treating his horrific leg break, according to a specialist. |

Easily. To put it in strohglish, you could have used two MRI machines to evaluate the injury. |

However, in this case they were only 3 minutes into the game, no time to be frustrated yet. Which makes me think it was a 'message' tackle (calculated, pre-meditated, etc.) and even more complicit in suspending him for a long time. |

I know what you're saying Rick and I agree. I didn't mean frustrated in the match necessarily. Even the 'message sending' concept is born of frustration in knowing your chances are slim unless you do SOMETHING. This was thuggery at best and more like assault WITDGBH. Taylor should have at least a full season suspension.
