Wenger about the injury of Eduardo Da Silva

I like how every anti-Wenger comment is getting voted down... I am a Pompey fan, and this was a horrible incident, but I do think 2 years would be ott. Maybe if they said 6 weeks or something, that would be legitimate

@Vrebips Because Arsenal are always under threat from referees and other teams. I don't know why, its not like we can't stop winning everything yet referees are always bias towards other teams which cost us.

@1r2a3i4t5t,,, are you dumb this happen in his 1st season at the club and was clearly doing alright, then that happen we will never know now just how great he would have coz that injury was a very very big set back and never really got his form back in time, but have a look at some of the goals he scored in the short time he had there and try tell me that he was not going be a big star for gooners had that injury not happen.

His comments here are extremely exaggerated and biased. If it was a Birmingham player who had his leg broken by an Arsenal player i guarantee you we would not be hearing the same kind of response. Yes it was a horrendous challenge but we see those kind of tackles a lot these days, albeit not with the same outcome as Eduardo's, look at McMannaman's more example. He didn't even get booked, let alone sent off.

Eduardo probably gets paid more and is given more game time now at Shakhtar than he ever was during his short stint will the Gunners. I would hardly call that a ruined career seeing as he's playing first team football at a top European club which gets further in the Champions league more often that not than Arsenal

dude career is much more about the money you earn.. and talking about getting to play more of champions' league, what if he had grown further at arsenal and then moved to a club like barca or rel madrid like those arsenal legends.. he was very young at the time of injury and had a lot in future for him..

T

"More than the season is over" - Wenger was right, Eduardo's career was virtually ruined, he never came back the same

to stop arsenal we have to kick arsenal LMFAO

TAYLOR IS A FUCKING BASTARD. HE RUINED EDUARDOS CAREER. HE DESTROYED ONE GREAT TALENT.

What he does on the pitch? You play the ball or you don't play the ball.
That's what made Wenger the beloved

Taylor is a legend

He was still good in Croatia but club carrear wasn't that good

This, in so many ways was the catalyst for years to come. This day, something died in Arsenal.

Bollocks Arsen....There was no intent.........

No he has never heard the term...Mis timed........Twat

Poor arsene

Well said bravo!

Arsenal still using this as an excuse

EDUARDO! great player! ... after this terrible injury... he still had his
"killer" goal instinct ... just making these "easy looking" goals...
sadly we never seen him again at a great club... one of the most
underrated players ...would have been worth it to had played a great
league again.

It’s was a common trend whenever teams were facing us, “kick em’ out the park” was their strategy. A guy on stoke’s team back when ramsey got injured, confirmed that the atmosphere in dressing room was unlike anything he had ever seen leading up to the match - the players were extremely enraged and hostile.

That’s why I’m glad the english game is changing and dinosaurs like pulis are slowly getting eradicated with their 1850’s style of football, it’s tiring to see a bunch of lumberjacks who can hardly control a ball and only know how to run around for 90 mins like headless chickens and get “stuck in” they don’t belong in football.

He may have retracted his comments but he was right. So many pundits used to ramble on about the only way to stop Arsenal is to kicking Arsenal. It resulted in a series of some of the worst injuries in the clubs history that arguably defined the future on the club.

I just cant believe that Shreeves try to defend Taylor, incredible

He should of been banned for life, ruined his career Eduardo would of been a premier league legend. Him showing remorse is irrelevant.

We lost the league that day ,to be honest English people are not suited to play football they better stick to rugby or cricket leave football for south European Africans or south American really

100% premeditated and deliberate. never ever believed that all players do not go to hurt opponents. pre match Birmingham made it clear they wanted to hurt Arsenal

Clichy mistake cost us the title

Arsene Wenger's attitude was appalling . Everytime one of his own players did something wrong he'd always go... "I didn't see it"
Yet when he saw when an opposition player did wrong to his he wanted them to be sacked from football.

It was a long time ago . But I still remember it . That has to be one of the worst tackles I have ever seen . And bear in mind , I am looking at it from a Birmingham perspective . I was at the game in the home section & had a good view of the incident . It make me feel sick when it happened . Dreadful .

Diaby, Eduardo & Ramsey.

Arsenal had so many technical players and they were good so they were tackled hard by these so called tough English players. Alex Ferguson was intimidating to the whole league hence his players were protected but Wenger’s complaining fell on deaf ears

Wenger is class

What a stupid question

That challenge was a fucking disgrace

Typical wenger always sees something when it happens to his team doesn’t see anything when his team does it

Childhood memories man so long ago now

It maybe be mishearing but did Wenger say the c word? “This c*** should never play again!”

This is the worst tackle I have ever seen ever, literally snapped a leg in two Eduardo's career was completely ruined from this and in fact he was lucky to even have one after this, should have been a multiple season ban imo, it's disgusting.

I remember when this incident happened, there was a big debate on whether Taylor getting a red card was even the right decision. So many pundits said it was a fair but mistimed challenge and he should have not been sent off. And Arsenal coach and players condemning the foul in interviews afterwards was evidence of them both being soft and kicking them off the pitch tactics had worked.

Holy shitt wenger was so fcking mad 😮

Eduardo was crap anyway KRO

Wenger actually saw it!!!!!!

This also brought Croatia team 10 years in a reverse..
With him we should have won
Euro 08 + have gone to WC finals earlier + FC Arsenal golden era began to start downfall after this injury
+ Whole one Croatia generation was affected

He's spot on about the Eduardo situation and about that butcher Taylor, but let's not pretend this guy didn't have Flamini in his team lol.

Arsenal has always been hated by officiails the referees have never protected the teams like this injury, Ramsey Wilshere Rosiscky then the biased manner in which the 49 unbeaten run ended at the hands of man U

As a Birmingham fan i think Taylor knew what he was doing there,dreadful tackle.i was there that day too but didn’t have a decent view of the tackle.just remember the game was stopped for ages.
