I’m not going to pretend that I don’t dislike Shawcross immensely but that was an awful injury and the joyfull reaction of some Arsenal fans towards it is just disgusting. Hope he comes back from that to play again.

It was overblown, certainly compared to the Stuart Holden one that happened about six months later. Now I can't remember if Johnny Evans was just late or reckless but when you think at the time Holden was a brilliant little box to box midfielder, he was never really the same after that and had many injury problems which curtailed his career.

Yet you didn't get Bolton fans coming out with threats against Evans IIRC. Bad injuries just happen in football I'm afraid.

There is very little true sympathy for OTT physical players with a history of rash challenges that have put players in hospitals. I can understand the reaction of some arsenal fans.
