Bit of Bull crap there.
"Van Nstlerooy faked it"
Faked what exactly? Jumping out the way because he saw a kick aimed in his direction?
What would you do? Stand there I suppose?
Have you noticed they do everything which helps Man U win the title.
Did we punch anyone? no.

No he didnt you remember Ruud doing that to Freddi a few years back? Might be that one.
4-match bans area good idea, but I still think the fines should've also be increased. I bet that in most cases, that's still not even a whole-week's wages for most of those punished Arsénal players!!
But at least they're moving in the right direction, for once!
(...Even though they're still getting the Rio Ferdinand thing wrong!)
