Off the pitch that's arguably assault.

 

:dowie:

 

Apart from the fact that it isn't, it's a game called football. As in your play with your feet. People are going to get kicked. That's not too far away from saying "aye outside of the boxing ring that's assault".

 

:lol:

 

You see fair tackles in the street all the time.

It was a bad tackle particular as he had a second bite at the cherry. If he wanted to stop Nasri getting away, a thug of his shirt would have done it, no need to hit the knees. But for Man Cunt fans to day that this was an assault with the malicious intent of getting the player injured intent is just way overboard. And when the same fans then say that even De Jong's leg breaker on HBA was more acceptable because "at least he tried to get the ball", then I can only say that is a class A idiot!

Can imagine that call "please don't pick up, please don't pick up, GET IN!! answering machine!".

 

Fair play for apologising though, personally would have gone down the Wigan route, have Pardew claim there was nothing wrong, paint MYM as the victim and have Ashley tell his story of when he burnt his tongue on an apple pie but he doesn't blame McDonalds because that is just how it goes only for someone to then find numerous articles where he is slagging off McDonalds for making their apple pies too hot.

Had Nasri not got injured I don't think there would be any debate, 9 times out of 10 cynical challenges like that do not end up with a player getting injured certainly to the extent of Nasri.

 

Think this is the most important point really.

I've watched this tackle again and again - it isn't a good tackle, but I don't understand how it could be more than a yellow.  I think the last challenge is a poorly timed attempt to get the ball.  I don't think he is trying to hurt Nasri, it's just a bad challenge.

Says everything what I thought of MYM and reinforces what I think of Nasri... Obviously gets it from his father by the sound of it...

“He did it nastily, the boy was beaten first time and did it with the second challenge,” Nasri's father told Le Parisen. “And it wasn't to try and get the ball back where he hit... It's just gratuitous nastiness."

 

:rolleyes:

Guess the Man City fans have forgotten about De Jong on Ben Arfa. w*****s that they are.

 

Didn't Hatem forgive De Jong pretty quickly as well? Saying its football, etc? Don't recall the details exactly - like it actually matters.

 

Hopefully France will benefit from having a more hard working less cunt of a player make the squad in his place.
