I agree I mean Arsenal aren't exactly the team with the best disciplinary record, Wenger just moans about everything, attacking Martin O'Neil for 'negative play' and attacking Chelsea because they won but 'didn't deserve to win' or something along those lines. He is a hypocrite and has sour grapes every time they lose.themadsheep2001 said:people seem to forget that arsenal used to the game thing, lets not forget vieira, 10 red cards, and over 100 yellow card, he went in hard every tackle he made. and gilberto silva wasnt a pussycat either, the tough tackling keown, dixon etc.
there have been much worse tackle that havent resulted in terrible injuries this season. its was unlucky. arsenal will get more injuries that most becuase they on a whole have younger smaller players, who will tend to come off worse in any impact or physical challenge. stoke are physical side that play like that against most sides, they tried to do the same against united, who gave as good as they took, and stoke had little else to offer after. unless you're saying you cant be allowed to go in hard anymore....

Although Arsenal's Physio's didn't give much sympithie to Shawcross, Pircks
omg have you watched it, there have been far worse tackles than that. you know what ive said it so many times i just cant be bothered anymore, read my earlier posta bad challange defo red card, when u go to stoke your going to get kicked dosen`t matter if you arsenal or manu or anyone same as bolton blackburn birmingham all dirty teams that are very weak on skill and more about taking chunks out of the other teams untill they give up because they don`t want to be on the end of a bad one as ramsey was yestaday and eduardo before him ect its not right at all 3 in 5years is wrong we are a side with pace and skill and the lesser teams have no other way than to get stuck in hard it isnt right. rant over get well soon ramsey!
So your playing football, and you see one of your mates get clattered, with his leg hanging off, you're not going to be annoyed?

I think what he means is that the tactics of those teams is to go out and just kick Arsenal about, which is just despicable really. There is no denying that the "Sam Allardyce" school of football has taken a bit of a hold in these mid-lower level clubs. I fully understand teams playing to their strengths ie. Bolton lofting ball after ball up for Davies and that's pretty much their gameplan, but when the strategy for the game becomes inherently malicious, it's no surprise we get these terrible injuries.You are having a laugh right?! If you actually watched it you would have seen that there was no malice and Shawcross was genuinely gutted by it.
And also the bit I have highlighted - Personally I think that it stupidly disrespectful, Tony Pulis has worked wonders for Stoke just like Mcleish at Birmingham - Just because they aren't the prettiest teams to watch doesnt mean they dont have the odd skillful player. (McFadden, Tuncay, Lawrence, Larsson etc) And they are making a success out of their teams and playing to their strengths. Get your red tinted glasses off will you.
no they dont, see cuellar on erva today, just a yellow, or defoes tackle, or mascherano's tackle, or fellainis tackle, all worse, none resulting in real injury, none punished with red cardsTo be honest though how hard does Shawcross have to swing his leg to cause a break? He should have at least calmed down slightly on the power behind his boot, maybe he misjudged his own strength?
For the person who was saying: "OMG there iz much worser fouls!": These fouls also get punished with red cards, so your point is retarded. Just because there is worse doesn't mean that this challenge wasn't bad.
