    Oh that's gruesome, nasty, nasty, nasty stomach churning.
    Poor Demba, that's gotta hurt.

    Oh God. Nasty! That could potentially do for his career.

    Looking like he's had his strawberry syrup taken from him

    Nasty. Not an horrific tackle though. Best wishes to him, he was a handful for us.

    Sky Sports claiming that his career is potentially finished according to a club official. Not something I would wish on any sportsman.

    Don't think the tackle's that bad, it's just an extremely awkward fall.

    Can imagine that taking well over a year to recover (if he does), then by the time he's back he'll be a much inferior player as a result. With him being 31, that's the end sadly. No Ba/Cisse reunion then.

    Absolute shocker for him. Not really a horrific tackle though, just an unfortunate situation. Nasty you wouldn't wish on anyone, least of all Demba Ba who was superb for us.

    His career is over....he's 34? Won't ever fully recover enough to play professionally again.

    The way his leg was just flapping about was horrific. Can't see anyone coming back from that . Remember that David Buist tackle when playing for Coventry against Man Un in 1996 which is said to the the worst injury ever in the history of the PL.
