I cosider PB as one of the more measured contributors on here and mostly concur with his views,however I honestly can't see much wrong with the article by DT.I would imagine that most neutral readers of the article would not detect any bias.hidden or otherwise in the piece.

Divide the article up into bullet points and you would find it difficult to argue with any of them. However, take the article as a whole and factor in the timing and the fact that it was written for maximum mischevious and controversial effect and you may see why some posters take issue.

The description of the tackle as 'horror tackle' implies or states that in Taylor's opinion the tackle was maybe reckless or late etc.
Thats just wrong.
You can watch it over and over again but it was almost a textbook tackle. The type that Peter Reid would make in his heyday.
It was a 'good, hard ballwinning tackle' with very unfotunate horror consequences for Ben Arfa.
Just my opinion

I'll take that as a no then !
Truth be told PB I have read nothing into the article. The build up to this fixture was always going to reference the Arfa incident as this was a flashpoint in a shocking game.
My opinion is that is was a poor tackle. If this challenge was made on a city player or me when I played I would not have been pleased. You think this was a fair tackle; fair enough.
As for trawling my posts and calling me a rag - Why ? I can only attribure this to the fact that I have disagreed with you.

Your post history is very suspect
