Taylor should be shot for that challenge, and I hope he is

I need to watch this tackle again. On first viewing it really didnt look that bad. It seemed to be more careless than anything else.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 02-26-2008, 03:56 PM

It was clumsy & late but no worse than any other bad tackle i've seen.
We're not talking about some hard nut who goes around scything players down regually here.

Hhhhhhmmmmmm. It was a bad challenge but I don't think it was malicious. The damage done is obviously horrific but I really feel that it was horribly mistimed. I would be very surprised to see Eduardo play again, even if he completely recovers physically, mentally it's another step up.

Eduardo was unlucky in many ways.
If his foot was'nt firmly planted, he'd have been swept off his feet and walked away without a second thought.
The challenge wouldn't even have got Taylor yellow carded.
I don't think there was any intent whatsoever to do anything but win the ball.

Eduardo is a talented player and I hope he gets playing again next season.

If only Villa could have held on for 10 more seconds. Good point still.

right-track · 03-01-2008, 01:04 PM

Good point?
It's a great point!
Not many teams get a result at Arsenal and it won't do your Champions League qualification bid any harm either.

Or our Premier title chase.

I don't think we will get the fourth spot but I think we are the most improved team in the premiership and with the smallest squad too. I think if O'Neill buys well we can definitely push for a champions league spot next season.

Thank God for those last 10 seconds even though we deserved to loss, Fabregas was an embarassment and Adebayor was clearly off his form. High marks for Theo Walcott and Bendtner, and Gallas managed to escape without looking like an ass. Senderos however shouldn't even be allowed on the pitch, he's a bench bitch at best

I did'nt know you was a gooner MJ. Damn those last ten seconds. I was gutted.
