Diaby fractured Wesley Sneijder's leg in preseason too back when we played Real Madrid. He also broke Ivan Campo's foot back in 2006. He's been dishing out plenty of horror tackles throughout the years to be honest. He's always been a brainless player.
The tackle on Steinsson was the worst by Abou.
Oh right, I forgot about Steinsson.
This all factors in for me when you evaluate his career. Can't in good conscience paint him as the tragic victim of a horror challenge without acknowledging that he was as likely to be on the giving end of it. Smith has some small point when he says that his tackle gets unproportional attention because it happened against Arsenal and not Bolton, like Diaby's own assaults.
That being said, fuck Dan Smith. We're all responsible for our own actions. The oaf couldn't even make it as a low-league player in the end. He had no business putting in a challenge like that.
