Bolton Wanderers defender Paul Robinson has taken issue with comments made recently by Arsenal FC boss Arsene Wenger.

The Frenchman claimed the FA should have suspended Robinson for his challenge that injured Gunners midfielder Abou Diaby.

But Robinson has defended his actions.

He said: "It's typical Arsene - an Arsenal player gets hurt and he goes public like that.

"I am not that type of player, I am fully committed, I am 100 per cent. I am not going to change that until I hang up my boots.

"I have seen it again and it was a good, hard tackle. When you slide in like that, it's impossible to get out of the way.

"Are we going to ban tackling? It's ridiculous. It's part of the sport. If we stop people tackling, it will become a non-contact game.

"I have got injured going into tackles in the past because I am committed. These things happen. There is nothing you can do about it.

"I have seen a lot worse anyway. But when it happens to an Arsenal player it is blown out of all proportion."

If Robinson isn't that kind of player, Genghis Khan wasn't that kind of murderous warlord. Have more respect for your betters, you thug.

What a load of crap, it is illegal to dive in at knee height, if Diabys foot was on the ground(standing) his leg would of been broken. IDIOT

A knee high studs first straight into Diaby's leg which could have been a legbreaker. Robinson then pretended he'd hurt his toe. Pathetic!

Sh1t player who clearly can't tackle. Over the top with ball not changing direction at all, one thing on his mind, inflict pain

Sure, Arsene must be worried with input from Mr. Robinson. Why don't you try rugby instead. After all you can't play football.

Jeeeezes he's thick! He can't see what he says, he can't see he's a clogger, is he thick or blind?

What a disgrace this thug is! A good tackle? He went studs up just below diaby's knee. And he has history. He should be banned instantly

Could somebody confirm that Robinson does, in fact, have a brain. Because it seems to be an issue here.
