Do you know what Arsene Wenger is talking about?


Arsenal boss uses puzzling syntax to defend Diaby

Diaby

In his post-game email this week, Arsene Wenger tried to defend Abou Diaby’s thoroughly dangerous challenge and subsequent sending off by describing the incident as a ‘protective tackle’. What does that mean? Is it like a defensive strike on goal or an attacking penalty save?

Anyone got any ideas?

Hey Ashley Cole, here’s how you pull off a dangerous challenge!

Jan Koller’s tasty challenge on VfL Bochum’s Christoph Dabrowski in the German Bundesliga 1 last weekend makes Mr Cole’s gauche effort from last week seem a little meek in comparison. And no, Koller wasn’t sent off either.

Warning: video is NSFW, as it contains a brief glimpse of man chicken swaying in the wind. It’s well worth watching, however, for a dangerously high tackle performed by a mascot, followed by an impressively athletic celebration.
