Now thats funny.

Hatchet boy read what I've written properly, I was there and I don't think there was and you, unsurprisingly, think there was. As I said previously, neither faction will convince the other that they are right so let it go. As I keep saying, let's wait and see how you all react when one, not 3, of your players has had a limb broken as a result of a challenge.

I was at that game and there was no intent to injure, but I would say that, just you would say there was as a spuds fan. Remember the tackle that put Diaby out for best part of year also went unpunished, not even a yellow card and it was in the last few minutes of the last game of the season if memory serves me correctly with both sides having nothing much to play for other than pride. I hope this never happens, but when a Manc, spuds, or any other player has a leg broken by a horror challenge, we'll see how quick you all are to kiss and make up, and let's see how your respective managers respond. Lets just say we agree to disagree at this stage as clearly neither faction is going to win over the other side.

Yes well done, missed the point by a country mile. Did you read ALL of his article or did you just focus on that part. So what if you broke your collar bone, what's that got do with it. Talk about miss the point. My son has broken both feet, and his wrist all while playing football, one was as a result of falling akwardly the other two as a result of very dodgy challeges.

The Croatia game and the game against Liverpool in the champions league a year or so back are the only times I've seen the lad play exceptionally well, it's a shame because he is one of those rare creatures, a very grounded, well balanced lad, with little or no pretention.

AS for touching a nerve, you couldn't find your backside with both hands so as for touching a nerve, naaaaah.

I think you'll find he was commenting on a performance by a single player, not Arsenal as a club, and quite frankly I agree. However he has had a fair number of injuries and fortunately he's still young enough to improve. I think you'll also find he has said that we are one of the only teams he would pay money to watch.

Tackling in English football is out of control and must be addressed by the authorities before more damage is done to the game. That's the view of Patrick Barclay of The Times , who was reacting after seeing Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey taken to hospital with a badly broken leg after a red-carded tackle from Stoke defender Ryan Shawcross. The injury was reminiscent of the bad injuries suffered by Ramsey's team-mates Eduardo and Abou Diaby in previous seasons, and while Barclay does not believe there was any malice on Shawcross's part, he feels there are too many wild challenges which would not be tolerated abroad. "What we saw yesterday for me was completely unacceptable in the same way as it was unacceptable when Martin Taylor inadvertently, accidentally broke Eduardo's leg," he told Sunday Supplement. "There's a wildness and a physicality about the English game which I don't think is healthy." "During the match yesterday one of the best chances fell to Eduardo," he added. " A challenge came in from the side, a fairly lose desperate one, and Eduardo didn't put his foot through the ball, and that's because he broke his leg before. "Now that is why this is unacceptable, because it is anti-football. And Eduardo's career will probably never be the same again." Views of Patrick Barclay, who, I'm sure, most people would agree is a reasonable, articulate, erudite man. Well said Patrick.

I just like winding you up and reeling you in every so often, just to see if you can keep to your vow to A. Ignore me, and B. Avoid the Football Focus thread as you threatened to a while back, but haven't. Love the use of the smiling face, very artistic, just one step up from finger painting.

Anyway I thought you vowed to ignore me, you just can't can you.
