Wenger Blasts Injured Terry
Arsene Wenger is in an unsympathetic mood as he hit back at injured Chelsea defender John Terry...

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hit out at the "violence" of Chelsea’s John Terry, despite the England defender being ruled out for up to six weeks with a broken foot.

Emmanuel Eboue was previously accused by Chelsea skipper John Terry of hurting his chances of playing in Fabio Capello’s first game in charge of England.

Following a rash challenge by Eboue, England international Terry suffered a break in his foot in the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on ‘Grand Slam Sunday’.

"I’ve broken the third metatarsal in my foot and reckon I’ll be out for four to six weeks," Terry said.

"I felt he left his studs in there and it should have been a sending-off."

However, Wenger has now lashed back at Terry, saying that his tackle on Cesc Fabregas in the same game was every bit as bad.

"Ideally Eboue should not even have put his foot in there on Terry. We do not encourage players to do that, but you should look again at the violence of the tackle from Terry before," the Frenchman insisted.

"The referee has not seen exactly the violence of the tackle, he got away with it. Good luck to him."Premiership leaders Arsenal are now six points ahead of third-placed London rivals Chelsea.

i really do think JT has become a president of some sort just bcoz hes an england captain, well at least under ste-c reign. his future as a national captain isnt justified as ste-c has been fired as england coach. its indeed known that capello is a very disciplined coach and acknowldeged as a no-non-sense manager. JT behaviour both on and off the field has caused major stir among chelsea staffs. however, jose morinho, the then chelsea manager, refused to pinpoint JT antics. i doubt he'll be able to hold on to his arm band. but who knows? capello has his own way of coaching and no one can predict whats running on his mind.
