Ironically Adebayor was sent off for violent conduct against Shawcross

Ironically, Adebayor was sent off for violent conduct against Shawcross.The FA must change the length of punishment of malicious tackles. In the space of four years, three Arsenal players have been severely injured due to malicious and needless tackles. The only way that this may change is if a leading English player such as Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard receives a leg breaking tackle; the FA may realise that the thugs who are ruining players and the English game as a whole should be banned longer than a measly three matches.Shawcross is a malicious player This tackle was not a one-off, and he has done this before. Too many people in football are myopic and it is shown by the acceptance of Shawcross?s challenge on Aaron Ramsey.Why shouldn?t Ryan Shawcross be banned for the rest of the season? He has done this before and obviously has not learned his lesson Yet, he is rewarded with an England call-up. The FA needs to think long and hard about how they deal with malicious players..

WISE One Great SeasonAfter Kansas and Kentucky each lost road games on Saturday, there must be a new No. 1 team in the country, and that team will without a doubt be Syracuse.The logic here is simple: The Orange are 7-0 against ranked teams this season, and, after Saturday night's defeat of Villanova, are 14-2 in one of the nation's finest conferences.Syracuse is a deep team that can beat you on the perimeter or pound it inside. The Orange play excellent defense and are very well coached.If you're a team getting ready for Syracuse on just one day's prep work, say, in an NCAA Tournament weekend, good luck with that. The Orange are the most complete team in America right now.Right now.Kansas could still head into the tournament as the most dangerous team, and I don't think anybody will look forward to playing Kentucky.Late-season hiccups?on the road against good conference foes?are hardly insurmountable, though I'm sure it won't take long if you want to do a Google search and find blog posts like, "What's Wrong With Kansas?" or "Is Kentucky In Trouble?" Kansas and Kentucky will be fine, but this week, Syracuse is the top team in America.Do you agree?Are you following me on Twitter? onegreatseason | johnpwise This article is also featured on One Great Season.
