WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 February doesn't sound that bad actually. When I saw six months I expected it to be April so did I. Did you count it out on your fingers anarl? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 He quickly became my favourite player and suddenly he's crocked. Absolutely devastated. Disgusting that it was described as a 'welcome to England' tackle. If that is what people think English football has become then we are in a sorry state of affairs.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Premier League is still a physical thuggish league man. Its quality is greatly over hyped and heavily edited to appear better than we are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Should put a picture of his leg on the front of the Chronicle and we should all touch it at 5 pm to heal it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It's backward to think that English football fans will leap to their feet and cheer a bonecrunching tackle like we saw today. And people wonder why England are so far from winning a World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 http://www.nufc.co.uk/articles/20101003/hatem-ben-arfa-statement_2281670_2173915 In the early stages of Sunday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Manchester City, Hatem Ben Arfa was stretchered from the field of play following a tackle by Manchester City's Nigel de Jong. X-rays taken this afternoon have confirmed that he has suffered a broken tibia and fibula of his left leg. He will undergo surgery tomorrow morning. Everyone connected with the club sends Hatem their best wishes for a speedy recovery. At this stage no time limit has been put on his expected return date.

TaylorJ_01 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Exactly, while I understand it may be a physical league I find it utterly deplorable that tackles like that are lauded positively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pedro_de_geordieo Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 So it is a pretty bad break then? I hope we do sign him. I wonder what Marseilles are thinking right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I agree that he shouldn't be punished in retrospect. The tackle was a bad one and should have been dealt with at the time but it wasn't. The tackle was the tackle, it was a bad one the damage it did shouldn't be converted into a 10 match ban or something stupid like that after the event. The tackle should be looked at again and something done about it. The referee awarded a penalty against us for a less dangerous tackle so he couldn't have seen this one properly or he couldn't have just ignored it.

The referee got it badly wrong on both occasions imo. The De Jong one was a red and it definitely wasn't a pen. I was talking more about De Jong getting the book thrown after the game purely because of the extent of Ben Arfa's injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Every case is different of course, but for reference: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-plans-november-return-for-ramsey TL;DR version - Aaron Ramsey suffered a double fracture like this and he was/is out for nine months.

Guest koye Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Extremely unecesseary challenge from de Jong... It feels like we lost two games of football today, which we did not deserve. Hope he recover well, but those injuries can be very damaging to his career, or at least the next couple of years. Rushing back from these injuries is never really a success...I fear he will not be back at his best this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andrew Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 12-16 weeks out according to a host of websites I've researched about this injury, then you have to add on time for rehabilitation, and to regain muscle strength. So six months is a good estimate- 4 months plus two months rehab, seven months taking into account he will be in training for a month or so before even playing for the Reserves. So, 7 months- we may see him feature in a game or two before the end of the season in may or maybe not at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Gutted. Fucking disgraceful from the referee, how the fuck didn't De Jong get sent off. If the F.A don't ban him it's a joke on their part, bunch of pussys. I just hope he returns to be the player he was, excluding his involvement with us.
