Do you believe Johnson would do this intentionally?

    I do not recall much fuss being made about the tackle at the time - did I miss something?

    I know some players do go out of their way to harm other players (enter Kevin Muscatt) but I am not so sure that is the case here.

    It's a football match, Johnson battles for the ball(like no other arsenal player) and he isn't to know that say a has a specific weakness?

    Whole think stinks of diversionary tactics, arsenal fans are so easily distracted.

    You can see Sagna wince and feel his leg after the (what looked like a totally innocuous)
    challenge, then a couple of minutes later, he collapses while trying to control a pass from a team mate.

    If the damage was that severe, would he have got up and carried on playing after the Johnson 'challenge'?

    Accidental, maybe - deliberate, no.

    These things are never black or white.A player makes a heavy or clumsy tackle and results such as this sometimes occur.The leg was most likely still weak from the previous injury

    Agreed about the bone still being weak from before. If you look at Johnson's head he isn't even looking at the player when it happens he is running after the ball closing people down!

    Clearly a balanced and unbiased view from a level-headed neutral!

    think Johnson should instruct his solicitors sue the gits for deformation of character

    But Sagna got in there first - his solicitors are suing Bradders for 'deformation of lower leg' <yikes>

    Johnson's going to have a busy summer with the lawyers with Barton wanting to sue him as well!

    Unfortunate for Sagna but to say that was intentional or in any way malicious is just desperate!

    Arsenal are the second best team for most of the match and the reason for this is obviously 'match-fixing'! What a load of balls.

    I'm quite often very grateful that I support a club of City's size and knowing that I've experienced the real lows so really know how it feels like to not be doing so great, which in turn makes the highs, like yesterday seem so damn special and not a fan of one of the 'bigger clubs', like arsenal who's fans don't have a clue what they're on about. Their team most of yesterday weren't with it and it would be nice to see some taking it on the chin and not trying to make excuses and maybe praising the opposition....wishful thinking!

    Totenham and Newcastle for the final 2 champions league places just so we can take the piss out of them some more. Maybe they fixed their matches, by having a whiny old manager, yes they play some nice football but since the team of adams, dixon, keopwn, seamon and winterburn retired I've thought of him as a real cock. Whine back in France you sore loser!
