Francesc Fabregas has re-opened the war of words with Birmingham defender Martin Taylor, who he says knows very well what he intended to do when he tackled Eduardo.

The Spanish midfielder claims is unhappy with the ban imposed on Taylor, whilst Eduardo himself could be spending up to 15 months recovering from the broken leg he suffered.

Eduardo himself is making good progress in his recovery.

Fabregas said: "Of course I blame him.

"He did it and he knows why he did it. Of course he is not going to say he did it on purpose, he will never say that.

"But a very good player is injured for a year and the player who committed the tackle is suspended for three little games. It is very, very unfair."

It's truly sad that Eduardo is sidelined for a long time while Taylor returns from suspension this week. The FA are a bunch of lousy, racist pricks. I can't help but wonder what if Rooney or Joe Cole suffered a similar injury as Eduardo? What would the FA do then?

The FA has to /Taylor. Only then will managers and coaches insist on better skills development and cutting out appalling lunge tackles. Cesc saw how seriously Eduardo was injured - it is no wonder he says what he says.

FA is just laughing over this matter. All because Eduardo is Croatian which destroy England. I want to see Rooney suffer the same injury and see what FA will do.

This is a clear sign that Arsenal are losing it! Read between the lines. Even though the incident was very bad, it's past. But you guys cannot be gracious enough to encourage your injured team mate with wins. Taylor did his part. But you are doing worse. It's virtually lost now and you would be letting Eduardo feel that he suffered in vain.

Cesc is just embarrassed by the numerous points they have dropped to small teams.Who is he to blame Taylor if even Eduardo himself doesn't.Cesc should grow up and sober up a little so as to proper in football.No wonder he has won no trophy in his life.This was and is a foolish and blatant remark from him.SHAME ON HIM AND ARSENAL AS A WHOLE!!!!!.

Cesc is absolutely true. There's no doubt about it. Before the injury, Eduardo play a big part of our good game. He is a great finisher. Now I believe Cesc also can feel the effect of losing Eduardo.

Cesc is absolutely right! eduardo is out for 15 months whilst taylor has 3 week holiday.. DISGRACEFUL! Imagine if the injury had of happened to Cesc!! Our season would been over immediately and we would seek the highest penaty for Taylor no doubt and the same thing sha'll happen here.
