I always had a soft spot for him being a United academy graduate. Hope he recovers.

You hate to see it
Ouch.
WTF man put spoilers around that...
Hope he recovers quickly!

Saw a few weapons on twitter saying he deserves it for the Ramsey incident. Pricks. He's had a great career though relatively speaking - club captain for ages, got an England cap and played in Europe. Shame to end like this though.
Looks nasty. Hope he can get back to playing again.
Holy shit! 
Hope he recovers without any complications!

Bet some Arsenal fans are loving that.
I remember how shocked he was by the Ramsey injury as well, Arsenal fans being pricks is nothing new though.
Wish him to recover well. Terrifying image.
Sorry mate, I put spoilers on the link now.
Oh my... it’s one of those that you get a twinge in your own leg just by looking at it
Dara O’Brien is a comedian and Arsenal fan. The article reads like a CAF post. He’s been a hard tackler for sure but loads of players do ‘crunching tackles’. What’s the relevance of the Adebayor thing being off the pitch, is there context to that or did they slide off the pitch in the tackle? Of course it started some Wenger whinging but his side were the dirtiest in the league when they were good. Viera is one of the dirtiest players in PL history.
Real shame. He was looking fitter than he’s been in years. No doubts he’ll be back but I was looking forward to seeing how he did this season.
I’m not surprised by a portion of Arsenal fans being cnuts about it but I’m not gonna take any moral high ground, a portion of our fans have definitely said similar stuff over the years. Whole thing is pathetic.

First five posts on Arsenal Mania:
why are people so pathetic and sad?
Terrible. He and many other defenders do that sort of slide time and again in matches and training sessions without any problem, then suddenly this kind of disaster happens.
Definitely. Even in very similar cases we're all tempted to defend one of our own while vilifying others. It's a fairly harmless oddity of fandom most of the time but I wish we could cut the nasty hateful stuff out.
Arsenal Mania is a cesspit so I’m not surprised.
Morons, the lot of em.
What's Dara O'briain got to do with it? Let's give Nick Hancock from Never Mind the Buzzcocks a bell and see what he thinks of it all.
Pretty low, yeah. The SIIIUUU bit had me chuckle though. Pictured the poster doing Ronaldo's celebration in his living room upon hearing the news.
I got it even I haven't looked at the photo yet.
Oh feck! That's bad... Wish him a swift recovery.
Nasty! A shame for him. I'd actually forgotten about him, but when I saw his name in the title, I thought he'd be older than 31. If he can make a full recovery, he should still have a few years left in the tank.
Never liked him though, despite being from the academy. Always seemed to be OTT physical, so I enjoyed that game he played vs Everton where Fellaini gave him a taste of his own shtick. He put him on the ground a few times IIRC.
Those Arsenal Mania posts are pretty crass, but every fanbase is a bit guilty of that when a nasty injury is concerned. There's been some pretty shocking stuff said on here about that Moreno chap who broke Luke Shaw's leg. I bet if Moreno broke his leg, there'd be little to no sympathy from this forum. I'd bet there'd be some similar posts to those Arsenal ones.

I hate reading this, but knowing how the despicable stoke fans were with ramsey, theyre only getting their own back.
Hope he recovers however.
They weren't having a go at stoke fans though
Looks bad but breaks heal easier than ligaments. Always liked Shawcross.
You have to laugh though at the outrage at a number of Arsenal fans being twats on Social Media. Every club has them, ignore them and move on.

He was in a sharp shape decline before this. His back gives him a massive amount of pain to the point where he will retire young.
Great person is Ryan Shawcross.

Can only hope he recovers well.
It's a shame to see Arsenal fans still holding a grudge against him. I remember how distraught he looked after seeing Ramsey's leg...

That is nasty. Hope he gets better soon.That's probably him finished as a pro. His back has been bad for years, and at his age and the level he has played at, I can't see him going through all the required rehab to if he's lucky play in the second division.
Stoke and Arsenal fans are as bad as each other. Shawcross is a rough player but he obviously never meant that injury to happen. Arsenal's lot can be scum and everybody knows the knuckledraggers at Stoke.

Poor lad.
He could still probably take the throw-ins and comfortably be their best.

Horrific. Will never be the same.
Jeffers didn't break his ankle, he was back playing about three weeks later. The Adebayor one was a poor tackle though as was Delap going through Walcott late in the same game. Pulis certainly got Stoke to be ultra aggressive v Arsenal in that game.
I was at that infamous game in 2010 and I just thought it was unlucky, seen many worse tackles that thankfully don't result in leg breaks every week. My memory afterwards wasn't even their much problem with the tackle until Wenger fanned the flames in the post match interview.
Worse tackle was Eduardo getting a broken leg at Birmingham a year before.
Shit for Shaw Ross he's been a good player for Stoke. Still, woodward might sense an opportunity to sure up our defence here and get him in on a lower fee
Well she sure writes like one, that article is clownish and reeks of a 17 year old teen.
I cannot watch injuries like these, by the comments I'm reading it seems horrible.
Clean break of tibia/fibula he can make a full recovery. But he’ll be 32 and will need half a season to get back to 100%...
Will he still have the desire or motivation to play? He can play into his mid thirties if he really had the desire to do so
