"Fuller wants to flex his muscle against Wenger's kids, and for Stoke to flex theirs. "Arsenal are a great team with great players and a great manager, but they haven't managed to win a trophy for some time and football's about what happens on the day," he says. "It's not easy to come to the Britannia and play against Stoke and we all know Arsenal are not a team who deal with [physical] pressure too well. "Every time [Didier] Drogba roughs them up, Chelsea beat Arsenal. Bolton used to do it under Big Sam - Kevin Davies and all those guys roughed Arsenal up too. We've got to hit them with a bit of aggression" when u read something like this after seeing the injury live... its disgusting. i don't think anyone can deny that horrific injuries like this are a direct result of the mentality in that interview | ||

But seriously, refs in the EPL should have less tolerance on physical contacts and "technical" fouls! | ||

Although what terry did is pretty lame. didnt he already give up his place on the WC squad?! IMO if anyone, terry should've been the one to give up his WC place, but we know that would never have happened also, from what i've read in articles/interviews... terry is a real **** off the pitch, all the fire he's getting is well deserved. | ||

On the subject of Bridge, this is the best thing that could happen for England. The two other left backs Baines and Warnock are in my opinion of much better quality. | ||

Shawcross deserves whatever suspension he gets, but I don't think he should be vilified for the rest of his life for what happened. It's a risk everyone takes playing professional sport that you could be horribly injured and unfortunately for Ramsey he drew they short straw. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he's able to get back to the top some day. | ||

Baines is in great form and Cole should be back in time for WC. | ||
