You can't band people for extra if they cause injury, it should be how bad and reckless the challenge is. What next, a red card if the player is stretched off, a yellow for the physio being brought on and no card if there's no injury at all? No.

 

It was a bad challenge which deserved a red card and three match ban but that's it. It was only circumstances that led to the injury. Had Eduardo's foot not been compltely in the turf and was off the ground instead the worst case scenario would probably have been severe bruising and missing the next game. Does that make the challenge any better? No.

Is confirmed he's out for 9 months now - will mean he'll miss some of the World Cup qualifiers too I believe.

 

I don't think there's any way Taylor should be banned for more than 3 games either, the distress he must be suffering at the moment is enough. This whole incident will probably ruin him physcologically for 9 months too...

Nice to see The Scum movig journalism forwards... You could proably turn up to any trining session from any team and be able to take 5 photos like that. C*unts. :rolleyes:

The Sun are such clueless idiots.

 

The article totally contradicts the picture as well. :manson: Idiots. Talk about fueling the fire.

The Sun is known as a gooner paper anyways, even if Wenger was responsible for killing the 5 prostitutes in Ipswich it would defend him to the hilt they are so far up the ass of him and his team of foreigners so this does not surprise me in the slightest, The Sun ignore the fact that Scum's disciplinary record in terms of red cards under Wenger is an absolute disgrace

 

If Eboue had broken the leg of a Birmingham striker on Saturday there would be none of this $h!t

Their disciplinary record HAS improved. They were top of the Fair Play league either last season or the one before!

Although having found all the Fair Play Leagues it appears it's actually Arsenal fans lying...

 

Did Wenger join in 96/97? Their record since then

 

97 - 97 pts (82 Y/5 R) - 20th (a full 20 pts below 19th!)

98 - 81 (72/3) - 15th

99 - 86 (65/7) - 13th

00 - 81 (69/4) - 12th

01 - 55 (46/3) - 4th

02 - 81 (63/6) - 19th

03 - 64 (55/3) - 7th

04 - 61 (52/3) - 7th

05 - 49 (46/1) - 3rd

06 - 61 (55/2) - 5th

07 - 68 (59/3) - 9th

08 (so far) - 47 (41/2) - 5th

 

So they have improved...

A lot less reds than I thought :o interesting stats there

It only counts for Premier League games though, given the amount of cup competitions they'll have done well in in that period another 20+ is possible.
