Yeesh, no more pictures, right?

As much as I don't care for Arsenal, I do feel bad for Eduardo. You never wish something like that upon anyone.

It's also a crying shame that Wenger has taken advantage of the situation to try and give more airtime to his "Everyone has to kick us to stop us" routine. It's not as if Arsenal are exactly angels. I'm glad 606's hosts and even Arsenal fans have commented on the ludicrous nature of that comment and the call for a lifetime ban on Taylor.

And as far as Martin Taylor's intent goes, we have absolutely no way of telling. It's easy to claim that because of the stud-up, it's "clear" what he meant to do. Well, by that logic, it's also just as easy to claim that it's a case of a player outskilled by another player and arriving late, which we all know happens all the time in the game. Granted, it doesn't always lead to horrific injuries like these, of course.

3-match ban if it's deemed violent conduct, and possibly more. Whatever decision the league makes, I hope it's a well-thought out one, and not some kneejerk reaction to make an example of one player and "send a message." No way this is a lifetime ban, especially given comments I've heard about Taylor from both Birmingham and Blackburn on the radio.
