Sympathy for Taylor
It goes without saying that Arsenal’s Eduardo must be feeling awful following the horrific injury he sustained in yesterday’s match with Birmingham. You can check the photos out in a variety of places on the net and it’s fair to say it doesn’t make nice viewing.
I have to admit, however, to feeling a certain tinge of sympathy for the perpetrator of the tackle, Birmingham captain Martin Taylor. Sure, it was a bad challenge which deserved a red card, but no decent human being could ever intend to hurt someone in such a way.
Taylor must be devastated by what has happened, and genuinely I hope people won’t be too harsh by the Brum captain. At the end of the day, he was out skilled by a better player.
Like with anything else, footballers can make mistakes. Lets just hope it’s a long while before anything like this happens again and that Eduardo can be back playing for Arsenal before too long.

It’s not often I agree with an Ipswich fan but I do this time. Taylor must be distraught and I was pleased to see Arsene Wenger had retract his initial statement.
