Happy Birthday Eduardo da Silva...however I'm sure he won't want many happy returns to what he's suffered! Also, IMHO, there seems to be some sort of rank-closing going on re Saturday's bone-crunching tackle he received from Birmingham's Martin Taylor. HERE it tells how Eduardo himself thinks the challenge was 'with intent'. Looking at their photo I tend to agree; then look at the image (left), the caption on the BBC says "Eduardo (right) shows his agony as Taylor looks on in horror"...doesn't look like horror to me, not even a grimace...more the glimpse of a smile...and a hand gesture.
Only minutes on the clock, not a cup-tie/final, no pressure, no stress, no dodgy decisions (ironically there were several later in the game)...more of a "let's show 'em what to expect". At least (see article) former Coventry defender David Busst looks on the bright side reassuring him and us that, barring complications, Eduardo will be back playing again.
Interestingly I couldn't post a tale-telling video from You-Tube or Blinkx - and presumably other video sites - it seems the Premier League don't want it doing the rounds; maybe they are still a few 'rebel' copies out there. You-Tube etc all display the following:

Netresult are on the warpath with You Tube over sporting copyright, they managed to convince West Ham and Sunderland that the rights to show football matches didn't lay with the clubs involved but with the Premiership.
If you want evidence of how bizarre rights issues go in the U.K you cannot print a league table in a Saturday evening paper until the Premiership has authorised it!
As I've posted before I hope Eduardo does get better, he's a good player and a nice guy, Arsenal need some ying to go with their yang! Oh, happy birthday as well Eduardo if you are reading this.
That was quick! I didn't realise the whole thing was so convoluted! Bloody PL, who do they think they are?...
I'm sure Ed is reading so he'll appreciate your kind regards :-)
You've been busy Span...
So much to read and get caught up on...I'll read and hopefully post some comments soon...
