No. Like I said, you've either missed the point, or chosen to ignore it.

You said that "when a team goes up against Arsenal they know that if they can get stuck into them they have a chance of beating them"

That tackle wasn't Shawcross getting stuck into them as part of a gameplan. I even said in the first reply it was a horrific tackle, if you'd bother reading it. It just wasn't malicious, or pre-meditated as you intimated from your original post.

It was quite clear to everyone - players, fans, viewers - that it was bad. Show me someone who WAS best pleased. Whilst I don't condone the tackle, I feel for Shawcross because of the ACCIDENT.
