Good grief. Double leg break.

[HirsuteBlue]

Ben Arfa out with double break, bad challenge but not a patch on Henry's. Just heard it called 'one of those things'. That seems charitable, it didn't get a booking :/

 

[everton4ever]

the barcodes up here where going mad over that tackle as they think ben arfa is the second coming reminded them about big vic last season to shut them up

It didn't look that bad on first view though.

When you said out with a 'double break', for some reason my first thought was that he had somehow broken both of his legs.

The tackle wasn't a terrible one I thought, certainly meaty but basically just very unlucky with the way the trailing leg caught Ben Arfa.

It didnt really look too bad apart from on one angle where you saw De Jongs right leg kick right into Ben Arfas left just below his knee, and the impact was enough to break his leg as i guess his foot was planted on the floor.

Was a bad scissor tackle which i thought the Fa/Fifa whoever were trying to clamp down on.

He's not bleating in the press about not even considering joining us this week then, the snidey little tit.

Get well soon like.

Why couldn't it have happened before he scored against us?

Shame for him though.

Yeah watch out for infections you French rat.

As a result of this tackle the Dutch coach is dropping De Jong from the next two Euro qualifiers. That's 2 leg breaks in 6 months I think. Stu Holden first in a friendly, and now Ben Arfa. No cards for either tackle. I see a red in De Jong's future.

I'm sure DeJong didn't mean it. After all he's not kind of player.

Can't tell whether you are being sarcastic or not, but I feel this video would be an appropriate addition to the thread.
Nigel de Jong vs Xabi Alonso
