I'm not saying it could only happen to Arsenal SeanMacGabhann Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > but he was correct to say this has been coming the way people set out to hack Arsenal. Hmmm??? ;-) Have to say I'm pleased that Wenger retracted his initial comments about Taylor, it was good of him, and fair. Thing is, for me Tayor didn't make the sort of challenge Sean talks about. I agree that it is there in the game, and it will end up with more broken legs. However, I think Taylor got mugged by a very fast, clever and skillful player, and on a luckier day he would have just missed all together and been left for dead. It was just plain bad luck. atila the gooner Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > the guy who may possibly be facing a career outside of football because some journeyman footballer is too slow to make a proper challenge Next we'll be saying premiership teams shouldn't have to face lower division teams in cups in case a superstar player doesn't like getting roughed up by the confrence side. He's broken a leg, and I feel for him, but he'll come back, and in the mean time he'ss be getting paid a sh!t load of money, and living a pretty good life, so I'm sorry but I can't lose any sleep for him. If I am managing a team that is full of hard working but not the most skilled players, and I know I am going to be played of the park unless I get at a team, then that is exactly what I will tell my team to do, because I want to win! Simple.
