[13Ballack13]

its like dere jealous cuz dey get beat by a better player, dey have nothing better to do den freakin slide tackle n injury the world class player eduardo....

[nb-legenda]

Arsenal had problems like this... van persie, henry, eduardo... they were all fouled intentionally... some twice like van persie

[Zmaj_od_Bosne]

I was just watching a video couple days ago of another soccer player breaking his leg the same way...wow talking about foreshadowing. Sorry to da Silva and Croatian fans.

[Pr0s]

ayayay..... pa nema krf jeboga... nije niko beba da nemoze da pogleda. oni su mozda ludi sto nisu pokazali replay od injury

You wouldn't believe how many people that are young or even under 13 we have in this forum.

[Pape]

I almost ***king cried when I saw this.

I really wish Eduardo all the best, my heart goes out to him.

[13Ballack13]

i dont think dat slide tackle was accidental dats what every f--kin player says when dey do some thing like dis its false information, da sliva skools the guy n he just has to slide tackle cuz he doesnt want to look like an idiot... english league is too d--rtyyy

[Pape]

I'm just praying right now that he can keep his damn leg after that! I think his playing career is probably over :(

[13Ballack13]

yea i kno man hopefully he will keep his leg, dat was a serious slide tackle by dat f-g taylor dat guy should be kicked out of the league for that.... with no pay... and yeah his career will probably be over after he gets surgery.... when i saw it i thought he leg was gonna fall off it was soo nastyyyy

[Pape]

I've been so self conscious about my ankle ever since I saw that, can't believe how his teamates felt, his life is football for gods sake and it could all be over now. Billions of people, myself included only dream about a chance to play at the highest stage, and when he gets his very well deserved opportunity he has it taken away from him. That guy that made the tackle shouldn't be allowed to step foot on a pitch ever again.

So true man!! is like they didnt know how to play or how to stop to the ones that plays beautyfuly!!
Shame on them for doing fouls like this....god I can barely watch that pic without struggling in pain :sad:

[13Ballack13]

dats exactly it b-rabbit, they dont know how to stop Eduardo da sliva from playing nice fotball so dey have to injury him to stop him some how n dats a dam thing this guy "taylor" who slide tackled eduardo should recieve a permanent banned from club fotball...

[nb-legenda]

there I signed petition. most people were Croats that signed petition. guys... did Eduardo really make that website???

[nb-legenda]

Arsenal very unlucky... first Henry... then van Persie... and now Eduardo. what kept them from winning the title last season was the injuries. This could be another ***king repeat. lol I feel weird on my ankle... I'm scared to run hahaha

[Sema]

This is horrible. 3 Day Ban! Are you ***king kidding me? I hope Eduardo recovers quickly and returns to football.

[Nit]

That is ***ked!!

[cartel]

just watched the scene, holy shit. Taylor should get banned for a year from the league. Imagine this could be the end of his career . . :boo:

[Wabbit]

dats exactly it b-rabbit, they dont know how to stop Eduardo da sliva from playing nice fotball so dey have to injury him to stop him some how n dats a dam thing this guy "taylor" who slide tackled eduardo should recieve a permanent banned from club fotball...

Ban?? heck no, someone should apply hammurabi's code on him

[Gunner]

here we go, these things happen, theres not proof that people injure themselves more in the premier league than any other league. this is exactly the kind of crap that ignorant people come out with.

no player in the world aims to break someones leg. that inhumane. i feel so sorry for eduardo, he is part of the arsenal family now and we all wish him all the best.

[CambriaFan]

I know the injury to Eduardo is horrific and fans of Croatia and Arsenal will be devastated but Taylor's tackle is no worse than some others in the league this season - it was just unfortunate.

Imagine if Eduardo had moved his leg a few inches to one side and Taylor foot had just glanced his shin and did no damage? The Birmingham player would have rightly been sent off but nobody would be calling for this ridiculous 'lifetime ban'. For ****'s sake guys!!! He's just been beaten by pace and made a clumsy challenge - its not mallicious. He should serve a 5 match ban, be fined by the club for getting sent off and then be left in peace. He must be feeling distraught and the way some people talk you'd think he was a murderer...

[nb-legenda]

Ban?? heck no, someone should apply hammurabi's code on him

haha the 100 laws would kill Taylor in day 1 :laugh:

[Pr0s]

Really? I saw a picture of him laughing at Eduardo after he did the tackle. The tackle wasn't malicious? He was a couple of feet off the ball and went in studs up. Maybe he didn't want to potentially end the guy's career but he wanted to hurt him. He wanted to send Arsenal a message at an early stage (intimidation).

[nb-legenda]

lol I saw his smile too. He should get banned for life. I hope he suffers something similar to Eduardo. Damnit... if only Lehmann was in goal instead of stupid Almunia. Almunia sat like a retarded bird in his goal doing nothing after the horrific tackle. Knowing Lehmann... he would start a fight and whoop the crap out of Taylor. I can't believe no one jumped that asswipe.

[Gunner]

how can u say he was laughing? i saw that photo and it looks like a smirk, but its probably out of embarrasment and shock. i doubt anyone would laugh after anyone breaks another mans leg, come off it!

[13Ballack13]

Almunia like a kid he was just standing dere doing man, If lehman was in goal he would most likely jump in and beat the crap out of taylor... when i was watching the game it looked like he was laughing someone should of knocked him for that like seriouslyyy

[Gunner]

lehmann wouldnt have done a thing. he isnt a hard man, he just loves to have a pop at someone. the best thing you can do in that situation is exactly what fabregas did, act quickly to get eduardo off the field so he can recieve treatment.

[CambriaFan]

how can u say he was laughing? i saw that photo and it looks like a smirk, but its probably out of embarrasment and shock. i doubt anyone would laugh after anyone breaks another mans leg, come off it!

Yeah - you're right. There's no way that Taylor would know how serious the injury was at the time. A grimace or embarrased smile can easily be mistaken for a grin.

[Wabbit]

Really? I saw a picture of him laughing at Eduardo after he did the tackle. The tackle wasn't malicious? He was a couple of feet off the ball and went in studs up. Maybe he didn't want to potentially end the guy's career but he wanted to hurt him. He wanted to send Arsenal a message at an early stage (intimidation).

Maybe he was nervous, c'mon I laguh and smile a lot when I dont know what to do, I saw how the foul was, and its clear it wasn't intentional...just put urself in Tayleor's place...imagine u just did something like that...I wouldn't know what to do...

[13Ballack13]

why would taylor slide tackle Eduardo well obiously to hurt him.... i just hate when things like this happen and players always say "oh it was just an accident BS dats what dey all say... this guy should be permanently banned like seriously
.... i kno it wasnt intentional but he did mean to hurt him send arsenal a message to dem.

[Wabbit]

^Is not a mafia Schwein! the guy made a mistake, if u ever played football u would know that sometims tackles happen even tho when u dont mean it! Im not defending Taylor, and I think he should be banned but not everything in life is black and white, no one hurts someone just because, speacially not to "send a message"..not ini football at least, this guys r pros...not idiots.

[Pape]

Intentional or not, this is going to have a devasting effect on Croatia's NT for the next few years and def. in the Euros. I mean Eduarado scored like a goal every qualifying game they had, we are more than rivals with Croatia but nobody wants to see you lose out because off some cowardly act.

[Wabbit]

^Yeah thats so damn true man...Croatia was doing such a good job!!...and now this...on the premier league...after kicking England out of the euro....mmmm....makes u think now that I think about it....jk...jk.

[13Ballack13]

Lol rabbit its like you love saying things that make the english fans angry hahah... Croatia did really good in the qualification only losing 1 game but really did matter dey were going to qualify anyways.....
B-rabbits favourite day: Croatia Beating England gloryy gloryyy hahaha :smoking:

[Wabbit]

Me??......nahhhhhhhhhhh

I :heart: England....:rolleyes:

Nah man serioulsy, Im not a lover of any team or anything, is just that I always try to find the 5th leg to the cat...or to see the other face of the coin...

[Vic]

Awful pictures from the incident. He had everything going for himself at the moment and that tackle just ruined his run.

I hope he can come back to his normal level after this awful injury. Tomas Brolin broke his leg when he had everything going for himself. He never came back to his level. :sad:

Fight Edu. You are in my thoughts. Go Gunners!

[Gunner]

everyone should love england, if not you can suck on our royal jewels :)

[Andygers]

Lol Paul I can counter that whilst still hating England, suck on our north sea oil!!!!

[Gunner]

haha

in all seriousness though eduardo is a great player and also a great guy and we all wish him the best.

Eduardo talks to arsenal.com after his operation.

“I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won't be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.

"But I'm not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.

“I would like to thank the medical team here at Arsenal for their efforts as well as the staff at Selly Oak Hospital who carried out the operation on Saturday night. Everyone there made me feel as comfortable as possible.

"I would also like to say how touched I am by the many messages of support I have received and to be surrounded by my loved ones at this time.”

Eduardo - I am determined to overcome this injury
By Richard Clarke

Eduardo has given his account of the terrible events at Birmingham City on Saturday.

The Croatian, 25 on Monday, broke his leg following a challenge from Blues defender Martin Taylor in the third minute of the game at St Andrews. He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery that night. The striker has since returned to a London-based hospital for further treatment.

Speaking for the first time after the incident, the summer signing from Dinamo Zagreb ruled himself out of the rest of the season and Euro 2008 in the summer however he added that he is 'determined to overcome this injury'.

“I don't remember the incident very well and it is not something that I want to see again on television or in the newspapers," said Eduardo.

"All I remember is that when I fell, I looked down at my foot and it had turned the other way. The rest is just a blank. It was an unfortunate situation but these things can happen in football.

“I am unsure at the moment of the extent of the injury and how long I will be out of action for but I know that I won't be able to play for Arsenal for the rest of the season or be ready in time for the Euros this summer.

"But I'm not worried about that. My concentration and determination is on making as quick a recovery as possible. I am determined to overcome this injury.

“I would like to thank the medical team here at Arsenal for their efforts as well as the staff at Selly Oak Hospital who carried out the operation on Saturday night. Everyone there made me feel as comfortable as possible.

"I would also like to say how touched I am by the many messages of support I have received and to be surrounded by my loved ones at this time.”


---------------------

:)
Great to hear these words from Eduardo, if he believes in himself we should all be a 100% behind him as well.

[Saraj Fanático]

I agree with paulthegooner, and Cambriafan, this is football. Shit happens. Its not a womans sport and such things are possible to occur. Taylor was aiming for the ball but Eduardo was quick to tap the ball to his right and Taylor hit his ankle. I don't think it would be fair to ban him since the guy didn't really did this intentionally. But goodness sake that is a terrible tackle! Is that his bone sticking out!? Shit, I got hit in the nuts real bad playing once, but this is superb. I am not sure the lad will be ever making a full recovery, but I wish him the best. Saddest thing here is that Eduardo will most likely miss Euro, and that is tragic recognizing the fact that he got Croatia there in the first place!

[nb-legenda]

Atleast Mandzukic is a rising star for both Dinamo and Croatia along with Petric and Olic and Modric on midfield, Croatia aren't in such a bad situation, but I agree... keeping out Eduardo from the squad is a big impact... considering he scored alot of goals for Croatia in the qualifying and he brings spice and technique into the game and he scores with fashion.

[Wabbit]

Yeah everyone in England wanst him...out of the croatian NT :lol:

Seriously, just like Pape said, good to hear(or read) thos words coming from Eduardo, he has a lot to give in football yet

[13Ballack13]

this is a big loss for the Croatian NT i agree but i think dere are players dat could fill him in on his absence... during the qualifying he always provided Croatia with the opportunity to win games and send them to euro 2008.. this injury will be a big blow during croatia's group stage matches in euro 2008 because he provides extra spice to their NT and more hope of progressing out of it...

[nb-legenda]

They have rising stars like Mandzukic and Kalinic... and Igor Budan's magic works sometimes as well (by the way, nice goal yesterday by him for Parma)... but Petric and Olic will lead the attack, while Modric will be the playmaker. Very tough team, Germany will have trouble with them in their group.

[onemartintaylor]

[Wabbit]

^Wtf.......

I heard he's gonna be out for only 9 month, is it true??

[Pape]

At best 9 months is the world. 2 months before he can start rehabilitation, 6 months before he can start running and than 3 months of getting back into form and stepping on the pitch again.

[Vic]

He should be glad that he can walk again. It could've been worse. Let's just hope that he can comeback to the game again. Injuries like these will heal very indivdual and it can happen much on the road to full fitness.

Be strong Dudu.

[Wabbit]

At best 9 months is the world. 2 months before he can start rehabilitation, 6 months before he can start running and than 3 months of getting back into form and stepping on the pitch again.

Is gonna be a long way to happy, u guys think he's gonna be the same?

[nb-legenda]

^ If people can walk on the moon, they can fix a compound fracture :) Let's all be optimistic when Eduardo needs it

[13Ballack13]

haha very true^^ Eduardo will make a full recovery and come back iunno if he will be as good as he has been but we will see..

[Almir11]

he will never be as good as he was and the guys should get a year off from football but i think his whole career as people are saying here iz a bit too harsh!

[Wabbit]

^Yeah I agree with u..:sad:

[Andygers]

Eduardo will be back in about a year, I tell you!!!

[Wabbit]

Yeah but will he be the same?? thats a diff question, dont u think?

[Andygers]

He might be because there was a player called John Kennedy who broke his leg, for about a year and he came back and played well.

[13Ballack13]

eduardo should be back by 9 months and hopefully he can get back in shape and be the person dat he always was....

[Almir11]

he iz not going to be he wil not play soccer for at least 3 months do u no what that does to you i think he will still be good but not as good as he was !!!

[13Ballack13]

yeah, i kno an injury like this ruins ur ability to get back into shape and play like you did before, i think if he exercises his legs and stuff he will still have some good things left him in but his injury has a bit impact of him playing as good as he did before.....

[nb-legenda]

he iz not going to be he wil not play soccer for at least 3 months do u no what that does to you i think he will still be good but not as good as he was !!!

boze pomozi

[13Ballack13]

hahah ^^

[Wabbit]

^What he said???

Still he can recover nop matter what..only time will say

[13Ballack13]

he said "please help" i think im not very good at translating..", hope fully when eduardos get back he will get back into shape and start from where started again.... i knew he wont be the same old same but he can still be one of the top players for his team..

[Wabbit]

^Ohhhh....haha :lol:

[nb-legenda]

No the joke is... the guy said that Eduardo will come back playing in 3 months. I said "boze pomozi". This means "God... help". This refers for God to help the guy (bosnia11) who said that he will recover in 3 months. 3 months! Boze pomozi.... this kid says that Eduardo will play professional football in one of the best leagues in the world after a major compound fracture of his leg. Whew...

[Almir11]

are u stupid nermin i said he wont like play at all even training for about 3 months and ya i still think he will play in one of the biggest leagues in the world

[nb-legenda]

Why do you say 3 months. Most people say he might not come in 2 years. Some say his career is over. Experts say he'll come back to training in 9 months. You say 3 months!!! lol joking I was kind of making a joke out of it sorry if I offended you :lol: we're cool

[Wabbit]

^Hahaha well if it helps nemrin..we all laughed...:lol:

No Visit From Taylor - Eduardo

A conflicting report bound to cause incredible amounts of controversy has been issued by The Sunday Mirror, which claims Arsenal's Eduardo da Silva has stated that reports of Martin Taylor — the man who broke his leg — visiting him in hospital are false, and that the interview exonerating the player never took place...

In February, Eduardo was the victim of a professional foul that saw Martin Taylor sent off and the Brasilian-born Croatia international himself stretchered off with a double compound fracture.

It was a big injury and an even bigger news story, the clean break in the player's leg was almost horrific enough to have potentially required amputation had it not been for the swift action of Arsenal's medical team. Reports of Taylor's distraught reaction were rife and Eduardo was said to have accepted his apology with good grace and deemed the incident as 'just something that happens in football'.

However, now weeks since the emergence of those stories, conflicting quotes have been produced by The Sunday Mirror, who claim Eduardo received no visit from Taylor and that he had not offered any interview to English press since the injury.

"The story about Taylor visiting me was an invention — as was my 'interview' in the English press," the striker was quoted as saying on Croatian television by the Mirror.

There will no doubt be further statements released on behalf of players and clubs to determine just what the truth behind the matter is shortly.
---------------------

This means that...

Arsenal FC's injured Croatia forward Eduardo da Silva said there would "be no birthday celebrations at all" after he turned 25 today in a London hospital.

Horrible injury
The Brazilian-born player suffered a compound double fracture of his left leg in Arsenal's 2-2 Premier League draw at Birmingham City FC on Saturday, sidelining him for the rest of the season as well as for the summer's UEFA EURO 2008™ finals. He could be out of action for a year or more. "There will be no birthday celebrations at all," he said. "I don't need any special gifts. I have already received the most important one which is my family who are now with me. That's the most important thing for me."

No malice
Having undergone surgery, Eduardo was transferred from Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital to an unnamed London clinic on Sunday to begin his recovery process. He has been quick, however, to underline that he bears no ill-feeling towards Birmingham defender Martin Taylor, who was dismissed for the challenge that broke his leg. "As far as I remember, Martin Taylor has still not been to see me but I was under sedation so who knows," he said. "If he does come, I will let him see me. I forgive him. I know it wasn't deliberate. These things happen."

'I will be back'
Concerns have been raised that the injury could mark the end of Eduardo's career but the player is trying his best to stay positive. "I am OK now," he said. "Nothing hurts any more but it hurt a lot on Saturday. I have not been thinking how long it might take for me to recover, but I don't have any doubt I will be back. Have no fear about that. I was scared when I saw how my leg was right after the injury but I can't say I was thinking about the end of my career. I was worried how everything would go in hospital but it was OK."

Busst advice
David Busst – the former Coventry City FC defender who suffered a similarly grim injury in a game against Manchester United FC at Old Trafford in 1996 – had comforting words for Eduardo. While Busst's injury curtailed his career at 28, he said that team-mates could be crucial in ensuring Eduardo's horror story has a happier ending. "They need to come and see him as often as possible in the short and long term," he said. "The worst thing would be for him to think he has been forgotten at Arsenal. He needs to know he remains a part of the squad and a popular member at that."

Croatia comfort
Croatia coach Slaven Bilić called Eduardo's injury "horrible", but if the striker's absence for UEFA EURO 2008™ represents a massive blow to the national team, the coach is more worried about his player's long-term well-being. "The most important thing is that he recovers and resumes his career," he said. Still top of the Premier League, Arsenal travel to AC Milan for the conclusion of their UEFA Champions League first knockout round tie on 4 March with the scores level at 0-0 from the first leg.

.........is not true!

[Wabbit]

Well I wouldnt have a face to show up and visit him if I'd it been the one that pretty much killed him...to be honest
