This scene is every players nightmare and indeed ends horribly. So horrible in fact that Sky Sports won't show the footage and the EPL has removed all the clips of the incident from Youtube and the other usual culprits.
A compound fracture of the lower leg and dislocation of the ankle are terrible injuries and maybe even career ending but Arsene Wenger's initial reaction for Martin Taylor to be banned was harsh.
Taylor is not a dirty player but he is big 6'4" and 200lbs and though the tackle was late and high it didn't have the intent for example of Roy Keane getting his payback on Alf Inge Haaland. Taylor certainly deserves his 3 match ban and perhaps even should sit for a month or two and pay a hefty fine.
Regardless of what your high school gridiron coach told ya proper football is a physical game and in particular the English game is fast, furious and tough and
players know that every tackle they get stuck in on could be their last.

So if you don't think he's dirty - then he must be incompetent - as opposed to Roy Keane, who was vengeful & brutal but at least focused.
Hmmmm, so who best reflects Premiership qualities.. random incompetency or focused thuggery?
Not incompetent just big and slow
and Eduardo is small and quick and when the two meet in those circumstances . . well the outcome was inevitable
Did you own a horse named Cavel?
Let's see the "after" picture...
On second thought, let's not.
