Breaking it down:
Viera gets away with no more than a £20,000 fine (is that even half a week's wages?), as he's injured anyway. *shrugs*
Parlour gets away with identical punishment to that of Cole, despite having committed twice the number of offences.
However, I think the fine to the club itself is fair.

I think that has been VERY lenient on Arsenal's behalf.
Is this a case of the FA backing down because of the fuss Arsenal kicked up before it? And, I'm sure they didn't want to make the headlines yet again by enforcing lengthy bans for players which their actions deserved.

I'm stunnde they bothered to ban anyone at all. It's usually just a tirade of "warnings as to future conduct" and £3,000 fines.
Perhaps a few more games ban for Keown would have made me smile but all in all pretty good on behalf of the FA.
Andy Cole threw punches in the weekend worse than any of our players did so is he going to get punished more than his red card?
Anyway losing some players won't matter now, at least we'll be letting players like pennant and Volz to come back from their loans to play for us.

I never knew Andy Cole was like that. I think he should be fined and banned for 5 matches.
I also think players should be fined weeks wages, instead of a fixed fine like £20,000.

Lenient.
Parlour should of had it much worse, in my opinion.

I think any kind of financial punishment is almost totally irrelevant due to the gross wages that these players are raking in each week... to fine Viera £20,000 is almost like pennies to him (or 3 days wages... around £70 to a typical person, but less important to Viera due to the millions he already has in reserve)
A leauge points docking system or an automatic player banning system would be far more fitting and far more hurtful to any club and equally appropriate for these offences in my opinion.

Did we punch anyone? no.
