Not really imo, the tackle didn't look too bad (sky not showing replays though) but as soon as Fabregas saw he knew something was up, as did the physio.

likeacod · 23-02-2008 01:01PM

think it might be a double fracture

AnCapaillMor · 23-02-2008 01:06PM

Does'nt look good for poor old ed, he'll definately miss Euro2008. Missed it myself was out in the kitchen.

beer enigma · 23-02-2008 01:12PM

Injury not looking good..

Mate of mine works in Selly Oak hospital - just txted me to say looks very nasty - porter apparently told him 'the guys leg was practically hanging off' - lets hope its not a career finisher......

Mikeyt086 · 23-02-2008 01:28PM

Get well soon Eduardo. Terrible to see that happening.

Royale with Cheese · 23-02-2008 01:28PM

When's Van Persie back?

Necronomicon · 23-02-2008 01:29PM

Have they mentioned anything from the touchline since it happened? I haven't really been watching the match.

Get well soon Eduardo.

You don't see much, team seem to be shellshocked over it.

Tusky · 23-02-2008 01:39PM

21 min: Apologies for not watching the football for a couple of minutes - it's basically a training session anyway - but I've just seen a picture of Taylor's challenge, and it is completely and utterly disgraceful. Flying through the air studs up, he lunges in halfway up the shin of Eduardo's standing leg. The striker's leg clean snaps at a right angle; no wonder Fabregas was holding his head in his hands the minute he saw it. It's going to be an ethical dilemma for sports editors across the country, is this picture.

Youch. Am I a bad person for wanting to see it ? Hope its not a career ender for the lad.

Dave! · 23-02-2008 01:44PM

poor Eduardo, great player, hope he recovers fully

AnCapaillMor · 23-02-2008 01:51PM

There's a pic in thesportinglife.com of eduardo, just look at the foot, does'nt show much but you know its at a bad angle.

Dave! · 23-02-2008 01:54PM

Horrible (NSFW?):

Well there goes my breakfast.

anyway was just talking to my mate that walcott was poo and he'll have to step up sooner or later.

HOW!!!!!!!!!

Mikeyt086 · 23-02-2008 02:53PM

Im eager to see the Arsenal fans reaction to Gallas there.

What do you guys think? Was he as out of order as i think he was?

If my captain walked off when a pen was given, then kicks the hoardings and then sits on his own in tears without shaking anyones hand i would be really pissed off.

He seems like a really bad sport to me.

Pepe LeFrits · 23-02-2008 02:56PM

Completely and utterly bottled it.

herbieflowers · 23-02-2008 03:04PM

Gallas in tears?! Wtf?! I hope that was an exagerration

Nope. He was sitting on his own with tears in his eyes and Wenger came over and hopefully told him to get a grip.

Long way to go yet.

yabadabado · 23-02-2008 03:13PM

wtf was gallas story he acted like a spoilt child ,id say his theatrics wont have gone down well with wenger and the other players.if a player did that at under 10's he be told cop on dont be so childish.i was half hoping that the peno wud be saved and a goal to be scored on the rebound

besty · 23-02-2008 03:33PM

Did anyone see Wenger's post match interview. I don't think I've ever seen him that annoyed about something. He basically said Taylor should never play football again!

yabadabado · 23-02-2008 03:36PM

yeah he was totally disgusted .he reckons taylor shudn be let play again and the way he was talking sounded like eduardo is gonna be gone for really long time

a break like that... he'll be looking at a year minimum I'd hazard.

herbieflowers · 23-02-2008 03:55PM

it's a shame really, cos he looked like he was really getting to grips with the English game after an indifferent start...

PHB · 23-02-2008 03:55PM

I don't know really if Taylor's foul was intentional. It was reckless, and it was very very unfortunate, but I think Wenger might be speaking with anger rather than his head, which is totally understandable.

smcelhinney · 23-02-2008 04:00PM

From a Utd fan, I have to say, Im gutted for the kid. Best Arsenal prospect in years, and loved watching him play.

Really hope he does a Henrik Larssen, and recovers fully from this .

Sorry for you guys

Pepe LeFrits · 23-02-2008 04:01PM

It is his left leg that is broken, which just makes it worse.

Hope he makes a full and speedy recovery, although the reality could be that his Arsenal career is stillborn.

jank · 23-02-2008 04:02PM

Just one of the those days for Arseal.

First off let me say that i hope Eduardo makes a full recovery. It was a horrible injury one nobody wants to see for any players.
Best case would be 8-9 months that would mead october-november.
Worst case is never play the game again.

As far as i know they are doing an emergency operation on the leg. Our thoughts are with you.:(

On the match well it was obvious that the injury detracted from the first half performance. The 2nd half was much much better but they should have wrapped it up well before time. Bendter didnt look interested at all.

Van the man we need you!!!:D

Clichy made a rare balls up but he did get the ball. Ref was always going to go for the spot though.

Gallas, well i dont know what to make of him.

But the next week is crucial for the club. Home against Vila and away against milan. 2 results there could pick up the season again. Arsenal are still 3 points if united win (i have a funny feeling newcastle may get something!)
Its in Arsenal's own hands still!

herbieflowers · 23-02-2008 04:04PM

Of course, there's still a long way to go, points will be dropped here and there until the end of the season...Arsenal's striking options are slightly depleted though, Eduardo's a very good finisher...it'll be a test for their squad anyhow, they already have a heap of injuries at the minute

Pepe LeFrits · 23-02-2008 04:05PM

Incidentally it is Eduardo's 25th birthday on Monday. Doh.

OPENROAD · 23-02-2008 04:07PM

Result is not the main thing today, lets hope we get to see Eduardo in an Arsenal shirt again.

On the plus side Theo finally got off the mark,which will be great for his confidence, remember he is only 18, he will come good.
