Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[T Fearon]

Great to see the Goons struggle against OAP's like Maldini and I fancy Milan to finish the job emphatically at the San Siro in a fortnight's time, just as they did last year against Man Ure, leaving Chelsea and Spurs as London's only hope of European Honours this season

Holy feck 

Haven't seen the tackle yet, teletext states a horror tackle while radio 5 says not as bad as it looks! Good luck to the lad regardless.

The tackle.

[Dinny Breen]

That was sickening and Taylor should get a 6 month ban minimum.

Commenting on the game after that would not feel right. It will be a long road to recovery, very sad day.....

[Aaron Boone]

Eduardo will miss Euro 2008 with Croatia.

I thought it was simply mistimed, I don't think there was any intent there.


Hopefully the lad will make a full recovery and get back on the pitch as soon as possible.

The only person who knows whether there was intent is Taylor, the fact that he got a straight red is obvious the ref thought there was intent. It was a stupid reckless tackle  and Taylor deserves a lot more than a poxy 3 game ban..

Terrible injury. I hope he recovers from it. He is young enough to. I had not seen it during the game. But the stills would make you want to puke. It reminds me of that break that larrson suffered.

It definately efffected the first half performance. Second half we should have closed out the game, Gallas was rightly disgusted at full time, however he acted like a school boy and went huffing. As captain he should be rallying the team together.
Injury list is mounting, only 2 fit strikers, although maybe with walcott in the goals today, he will get some confidence and may fill in up front.
2 points droped lets hope king kev can do us a favour!!- what is it he says himself" i would love it if we beat them" (well i would too kev!!)

i wonder willl there be legal action, i remember after the tackle on diaby v sunderland a couple of years ago wenger hinting at it. IMO this was worse

[Norf Tyrone]

Personally- and casting any bias aside- I don't think it was the worst tackle I've ever seen. He wasn't really over the top nor high, and it looked simply very badly timed. Probably deserved a red card, but don't agree there was a lot of intent.

Tacke of legal action is stupid. Sure why doesn't Nani get Gallas charged for his assault last week?

[Puckoon]

Poor fella, that just brought back memories of Big Peter throwing up when Busst got his leg done.


Points dont really matter after that, but It would be great if United get beaten.

I'm sure he didn't mean to break his leg, but that was a dangerous, high tackle. Even if he had got there in time, he would have went over the top of the ball.

What a stupid comment, Eduardo has a broken leg probaly career threatening and you trivialise it with that comment. Yet you're the same clown you cliamed Eboue tried to do Terry and should have been banned. You should really take your hypocritical comments to the one post a month thread, I think every Gooner here is getting tired off your anti-Arsenal paranoid rantings and ravings......

As a chelsea fan you have a short memory remember  paul elliot (chelsea) taking dean saunders (liverpool)  to court? I know he lost the case but there is precedent for legal action.

[Uladh]

Should the punishment for a tackle be dependent on the outcome of that tackle?
