If anyone think Arsenal players are victims and targeted, then i dont accept. True it was a horrible tackle but d person involvd matters. If such tackle was aimed at Drogba, he may come out unharmed, but these Arsenal players are young, and when exposd to some kinds of tackle it results in horrific sights. Arsenal is nt a target. Yet refrees should try to protect these youngsters from some 'shaw' monsters!

Arsène Wenger may have three midfielders back for the visit of Burnley on Saturday.

Denilson (calf) and Andrey Arshavin (hamstring) are expected to return while Abou Diaby (knee) is rated as ‘50:50'. With Aaron Ramsey's season now over and Alex Song starting a two-game suspension, Wenger could do with reinforcements in the centre of the park.

However, further back, William Gallas (calf) is still out and Sol Campbell is doubtful with a groin problem. Meanwhile Carlos Vela is unavailable due to the fatigue of international duty.

"We have the luck that Denilson could be available again," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online on Thursday. "He did not travel to Stoke last week because he had an injury to his calf.

"Arshavin could be available and there is a little, little chance that Diaby could be available again too. I am convinced that Denilson and Arshavin will be OK but for Diaby it is 50:50.

"Gallas is still out and we have a little problem with Sol Campbell. We will check that tomorrow. Carlos Vela will not be considered for Saturday because he comes back too late from international duty.

"If we have good news from the other players coming back we should still have a strong squad out."

Haba hin never reach dat level now,I think AW sometimes throw him in hoping maybe sum1 might tackle him in the box 18 to win us a Penalty,aside that he cant pass nor shoot & his decision making is so useless,a one Legged Eboue poo on him anyday anytime.

oberon:
Jesus Christ! Lawyer !! getting morbid arent we? the purpose of showing proof of a young talented player in pain,I for one canot fathom,am no arsenal fan but if you watched tha game the Stoke player Shawcross was mortifed by his tackle and the Stoke faithful gave Ramsey a standing ovation as he was being strechered off, so asaulting us with these horrific pictures is ,to me at least in bad taste,except there is something am missing.

a large portion of the stadium was actually chanting "he's got only one leg!"

Kgdavid:
it is inevitable that defenders will mistime a few challenges and thats what the ref is for. in this particular case it was a 50 50 ball which might loo otherwise simply ecause ramsey was much quicker than shawcross. the ball was initially shawcross's but he ovrplayed it, giving ramsey an opening. Ramsey goes into that tackle just as aggressively as shawcross and the referee himself has admitted he would not have given a red card if not for the broken leg

dayokanu:
Ronaldinho best player of the last decade wasnt a goodlooking guy either.

@ topic, according to Reverend King.

Kgdavid:
Its either most of you are just talking without having actually seen the footage or you have never played football before or you are frustrated arsenal fans looking for a way to vent your anger. that was a typical 50 50 tackle and the ref was not going to give shawcross a card till he saw that the foot was broken. it would be clear to anyone who knows football that this was nothing but an accident. i feel sorry for ramsey as he is such a promising footballer and thankfully he has access to top class resources so hopefully he will be back in the not too distant future. guys this is the reality of professional football.

Clichy - We never doubted title credentials

Gael Clichy insists that Arsenal never gave up hope of winning the title - even when they slipped nine points behind the leaders last month.

Arsène Wenger's side were written off as Premier League also-rans following back-to-back defeats against Manchester United and Chelsea. The second of those setbacks left Arsenal well adrift of their London rivals, but successive wins over Liverpool, Sunderland and Stoke have reduced the gap at the top to just three points.

Suddenly Clichy and company are right in the thick of the title hunt again and he, for one, is not surprised. According to the French left-back, the Arsenal squad never lost belief and never doubted their ability to bounce back.

"People were saying we were not good enough, when we were playing Manchester United and we lost against Chelsea, but we kept the confidence really high because we know we have the players and the quality to do it," said Clichy, speaking at Arsenal in the Community's 25th anniversary celebrations.

"When you play for a team like Arsenal, you want to be the best and to be the best is to compete week-in, week-out against any team in the league.

"Of course, when you find yourself 11 points behind the leaders [as Arsenal were in November], you ask yourself: 'It’s going to be really difficult. Are we capable of doing it?' and a few weeks later you find yourself back in the title race and that’s a good feeling.

"So that shows you the character in the squad and, once again, with the players we have, I’m sure we can do it. It’s going to be difficult, but I’m sure we can."

Of course, Arsenal have been here in the recent past. Wenger's side set the pace at the top of the Premier League for much of the 2007/08 campaign only to fall away in the home straight. The Gunners are coming from off the pace on this occasion and Clichy is determined to fight to the finish this time.

"Two years ago was a good chance," he reflected. "We stayed at the top of the table for seven months and we finished not strong enough and we didn’t win anything at the end.

"I don’t know if this year is the best opportunity, but certainly it can be a good year for us, if we can maintain our performance. We’ve played the big teams so now it’s down to us to show people we want it and we’re ready for it. We will try to grab the chance to win something.

"If we win our games we have a really big chance of doing something this year, so that’s all that matters to us, to take game after game and show people that we can perform week-in, week-out."

dayokanu:
Can you point out the exact comments .

Fair play does not mean no hard tackles. Right?

There is nothing be sadistic about supporting the physical and robust side of football.
