Diffrence between the two tackles are wilshere going for the ball, tayllor aiming on eduardos leg you even see him look att eduardo’s leg not the ball not even when the ball goes away he look’s for it!
that tackle is one of the worst and clearly had an intent of injury the player!

Viscious tackle.
1.Please tell Wenger this is not rugby.
2.Maybe, Murphy was right. Must be the manager pumping up his players to commit these viscious fouls?
Weren’t these two statements every Gunner fan had agreed with. Hypocrites, the lot of you.

Ken you are pathetic. It is a pathetic mentality you display. Wenger has campaigned to have dangerous tackles outlawed. Wenger works very hard with his players to make sure they do not commit them. That is why Arsenal are always top of the fair play league and are the most fouled team. That does not mean idiots like you have to hang around in the background just waiting for 1 of Arsenals players to mis time a tackle so you can trot out a load of twisted bile. Jack made a bad challenge. Wenger condemned it afterwards and apologised to Birmingham. Jack then released a statement apologising. Wenger will have strong words with Jack and probably fine him. THAT is how a football club should behave so try and learn something. People like you make me wanna throw up. Maybe it is you who are the hypocrite sir?

The two tackles have only one thing in common – they both deserve red cards. Apart from that – it is hard to compare a full speed front lunge into the middle of the lower leg with a sideways lunge barely catching the ankle /or maybe even below it/. Mc Leish continues with the subject fully aware of his own guilt

Did Zigic walk off the pitch on his own or was he carried off on a stretcher with an ankle facing the wrong way ,a broken /fractured shin or a broken leg ,don,t be a hypocrite ,please ?

Was the tackle as bad? No, because the results were very different. Jack however, didn’t know that coming in. His tackle was 4-5 inches lower than Taylor’s and more reminiscent of Dan Ryan’s tackle on Abou Diaby in the Sunderland game a couple of years ago. He deserved a straight red and let’s hope he learns from that. Other incidents that did not get the attention it should was when Jack was hit in the face a little earlier. Looking at the video in slow motion, frame by frame – it’s easy to see the movement of the arm. It was intended. Also, when Chamakh got the elbow in the head, I don’t think that was intentionally but the commentators on FSC were wrong when they thought Chamakh overplayed it.
What disappointed me was Eboue’s scissors tackle – unnecessary and reckless by an experienced player; a defender.

Hmm… i think Wilshere did it purposely, remember Zigic elbow him and unpunish before that? he just want Zigic to know who’s the boss… and i also thought he touch the ball in this tackle~~

If a player senses a deliberate foul about to chop him down ,then that player is entitled to fall over at the appropriate moment, ask Trash.United about Ruud van Nistelrooy or Cristiano Ronaldo,two of the main culprits when it comes to diving ,or Steven Gerrard ,Wayne Rooney ,so yes Chamakh did what others have done routinely ,earned a penalty for Arsenal ,at home ,no need for lectures from hypocrites ?

i think having the video or eduardo’s leg break on your blog is pretty disrespectfull, especially when you talk abt how mcleish is out of order to bring it up. Perhaps we should make a nice picture book, with frame by fram shots and send it to eduardo??
as for wilsheres tackle, yes it was bad, but eboues was worse

It’s football it happens!! I’m fed up of people trying to wrap players up in cotton wool. Ok these tackles are bad and career threatning, but thats what they signed up for when they wanted to play football. neither tackle was malicious (if you see the taylor tackle from the other side he wasn’t even looking at eduardo). neither wilshere or taylor are the sort of players that set out to break people. its a physical game….when will people remember this?? chopper harris use to do this every week….call me old fashioned but its the game we love!!

how can someone even try to compare them 2 tackles is beyond me,look at them again and you will see that jack is moving his foot away from the players leg as 4 mr taylors: its a horror one every time you see it. so please dont mix up what is unmixeble.tackles like wilsheres one used to b something really common in that league couple years ago not to mention that everything related to us is so mediatised and debated,just an example remember eddy penalty vs celtic? it became a state affair.so really:it was just a bad tackle and the difference between the two is one of the victims is scar for life
