[LNB]Arsene Wenger's crusade against bad tackling has been ridiculed by Bolton defender Paul Robinson.[LNB]The Arsenal manager has split people within the game with his continual complaints about injuries suffered by his players in what he perceives to be overly aggressive tackling and called on the FA to give more protection to players.[LNB]Last month he attacked the Bolton left-back for a tackle on Abou Diaby that sidelined the French midfielder for two weeks.[LNB] Crocked: Arsenal's Abou Diaby was out for two weeks after being injured in a tackle with Paul Robinson [LNB]But Robinson, 31, has hit back at the man Harry Redknapp recently labelled The Nutty Professor, and said: 'It's typical Arsene isn't it? [LNB]'An Arsenal player gets hurt and all of a sudden it's all made public. I've seen the tackle and I don't think it's bad - it's a good, hard tackle.[LNB]'When you're sliding in, sometimes it's impossible to get out of the way. Are we going to ban tackling? [LNB]'It's ridiculous.'[LNB] Over the top? Robinson has accused Wenger of wanting to ban tackling[LNB]'Whatever Wenger says won't affect me because I do it week in, week out so let him have his say.[LNB]'I'm committed to winning and I'm never going to change until I hang my boots up.[LNB]'I don't go in to hurt people. There are certain tackles that are not acceptable but it's a hard sport where you put your bodies on the line.[LNB]'Sometimes, unfortunately, you're going to catch a player.'
