Paul Little
Having sat back and observed and cogitated on the furore that followed the shattering of Aaron Ramsey’s leg, here are five things Paul Little has learned from the affair
1. Arsenal still do not like it up \’em. They are brittle – so brittle in fact, that when you go in with sufficient force, their bones crumble, rendering the player in question inert and useless.
2. Ryan Shawcross is simply “not that kind of player.” Shawcross’s mother and Tony Pulis know this; Aaron Ramsey’s mum, Aaron Ramsey, Arsene Wenger, Frannie Jeffers and Emanuel Adebayor may doubt the veracity of the statement.
3. Arsenal should sign Glenn Whelan to attend to their grievously broken players so that the rest of the side can focus their efforts on gurning emotionally for the cameras without messy distractions.
4. Limbs that dangle where they are not supposed to dangle make for unpleasant viewing. Thank you Mr TV director man for averting my eyes for me from Saturday’s horror.
5. If there is indeed some form of conspiracy by technically challenged, bully boy teams to kick Arsenal into submission, then it is a decidedly unimpressive one. The managers of Stoke, Birmingham, Bolton etc need to get their heads together – as three leg breaks in four seasons is a poor return indeed.
Maybe Arsenal should start showing studs as that will prove they have become men
You haven’t said anything about poor teary-eyed Ryan Shawcross. How is he coping? Today he has ‘vowed’ not to change his tackling style… Good for you Ryan! Break a leg!
I agree with Kofi!
If the authorities aren’t going to clamp down on these sorts of tackles then it’s time to fight fire with fire, I’m sure the second an Arsenal player snaps someones leg there will be a huge press campaign to change the rules…
Legbreaker. Thug. Reckless Cunt. Ryan Shawcross. Skinhead.
Some of the many aliases of Saint Ryan Shawcross. The boy haven’t got a bad bone in his body let me tell you… coz so far he has been unable to tackle himself and break his leg on his own. Perhaps one day he will do it. Just like Jesus walked on water.
let’s all pray rooney, lampard, terry, gerrard, SWP all get compound fractures in the next couple of months so they could get together and watch the WC, and cheer England!!
