well thats the thing isn't it,

do that and it's favouritism towards Arsenal, Mount Fergie would blow and the global climate would change, Liverpool fans would have yet another reason to moan about how hard done by they are and all hell would break loose in general throughout the league.

Whilst I think Wenger is right in what he says about people sticking the boot in on his side, what does he want everyone to do about it? There is only so far the FA can take it.

        Remember Norwich's spate of ACL and other knee injuries ? (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Mar 1, 12:05:54
        
        and also, perhaps arsenal employ people called sports scientists (Other Football) - Tombs, Mar 1, 12:13:01
    - He moulded Troare into a kind of wing back/winger, and then he got injured (Other Football) - pants, Mar 1, 11:57:05
      - Yeah, they've not had any big strong players since the likes of Viera, Adams, Keown, etc (n/m) (Other Football) - NCFC4life, Mar 1, 12:00:22
        
        Did you see the game? Why wasn't Fabregas booked at the end? (Other Football) - pants, Mar 1, 12:03:51
        
        I didn't see it to be honest as I was on the home from Oldham, (Other Football) - NCFC4life, Mar 1, 12:10:19

        Thats not really what I'm getting at, (Other Football) - NCFC4life, Mar 1, 12:09:34
        
        yep. so question is - should refs give them more protection than they currently do? (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 1, 12:10:27
        
        well thats the thing isn't it, (Other Football) - NCFC4life, Mar 1, 12:15:39
        
        guess you'd give *all* teams greater protection (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Mar 1, 12:22:31
        
        or, just ban tackling in the league cup for example (Other Football) - Tombs, Mar 1, 12:30:40
        
        No, they should give them less. Make the skinny fuckers build up some muscle (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Mar 1, 12:11:19
        
        they could wear kevlar leg guards? make boots out of sponge? (Other Football) - Tombs, Mar 1, 12:17:39
        
        Perhaps spike shin-guards. That would put people off kicking them. (n/m) (Other Football) - Steve in Holland, Mar 1, 12:18:49

        yep, in case they repeat offend (Other Football) - Ralf Scrampton, Mar 1, 12:07:22
