“Henry hits out” , well makes a change from stamping on Walcott’s legs and attacking studs up from behind. My heart bleeds for him ,but not as much as the cuts on Rosicky’s leg.

the only joke is that wolves players/management/fans actually think that sliding through the back of a player, studs up, at 100 mph and totally missing the ball is not a red card.

Bunch of losers. Looking forward to seeing you again next season for another easy 6 points.

Dear Karl,
You tackled a player from behind, sliding, out of control, through theback of his legs with no chance of getting the ball. You took the player out. Which ever way you cut it, this is a dangerous tackle and a straigh red. The joke is that you and players like you think this type of challenge is acceptable. It is not. The rules are clear. That was a pub team tackle. I applaud the ref for getting that one absolutely spot-on despite what the so called experts and dinosaur pundits have said. As it happens, the rules were clarified in 1998, wee after most of these dinosaus ramed the pitch. They are there to protect players from that kind of tackle. Sadly the rule is not applied well enough generally, if it was it might encourage third rate muppets like you to learn to tackle properly, and idiot managers like McCarthy, Pulis, Bruce and so on to teach tackling. Allardyce should just be booted out. So think on Karl, your tackle could easily have done real damage. You would complain bitterly if a player did the same to you.

So it’s alright to kick people and then blame them because you get sent off. Tell Mr Henry to read the rules of the game he plays, you are not allowed to slide into another player from behind and not get the ball. Unless of course wolves have a different set of rules to other clubs?

Arsene Wenger, not known for seeing incidents clearly, thought the red card was “harsh”. Respected defender Alan Hansen on Match of the Day, who knows a good tackle when he sees one, claimed the red card was “ridiculous”. The tackle was hard and fair, winning the ball first, the type of which now seems to be outlawed in the modern day namby pamby game.God help these players if they’d had to face Tommy Smith or Norman Hunter in the 70′s. How dare those Midland oiks dare to tackle one of Arsenal’s precious primadonnas? Stoke fans among many others will agree that you cannot touch one of their players without risking the wrath of the paranoid prawn sandwich brigade who want you to allow them to pass the ball around in pretty circles and win every game 6-0.Watch Rosicky falling and writhing in BAFTA winning form after the tackle, witness the Arsenal players surrounding the ref to get a fellow player sent off, then notice Rosicky back on his feet seconds later running for a through ball.Well done Karl Henry for saying it as it is. Watch Barcelona run rings round them on Tuesday, and watch far worse fouls being committed and going unpunished by a red card.
