looks like hes being investigated after his nasty tackle on Cole yesterday from what I see it was nasty and quite frankly hopes he gets a heavy ban The Game could do with out that ........ the papers were full of it too saying United and Riley are cheats lol my view is he did catch him even if it was minimal it was a silly challenge

Because Fergie often makes it a habit to change clothes before doing interviews

*sky man* - Hey Fergie, got time for a chat?
Fergie - Aye lad give us a wee while will ye? I've got to get out of this nice suit and into a tracksuit for the cameras

Dear God, reporters are useless sods aren't they?

R:" So do you apologise for calling him a cheat (RVN)?"

Wenger: "I don't know what I said, but I'd be happy to listen to a radio or TV quote."

R:" But are you sorry?"

Wenger: " I don't know exactly what I have said, so show me some footage, otherwise I do not have to apologise for something I have not said. What are you going by?"

R: "Err. Just what I've heard."



I'm not even over doing it when I quote the "errr" that the reporter said. They are useless cretins.

The difference being that this is a piddly little rumour, made up by the media, which anyone with an ounce of common sense will realise is totally blown out of proportion.

Makes me laugh how you all take this seriously, i wish it was true just for sheer comic value. Might even surpass Keown last year at OT, now that WAS entertainment!

Hmm. I'm not sure things quite as bad as that happen, but regardless of all sensible fans kicking and screaming, the FA are pansies.

Who do they think they're going to upset? The fans who are asking for the changes? The managers of clubs who have already turned their backs to the international side?

That's laughable to say the least.


And are you saying that RVN was wronged? Shame on you if you are.

Right well from now i expect EVERY player in the league who commits a dangerous foul to get a 3 game ban whether the ref picks it up or not. Any chance of any of the Arsenal thugs to get a ban for assaulting Fergie or the challenges they were chucking around FA??

What's that?? No??? Didn't think so, too busy tying up the Arsenal ribbons to the Prem Trophy already.

Ah well that's their power fix for the month just so they can feel all big and powerful now after letting Becks off the hook

I heard that on radio too. Idiotic. The FA are possibly one of the worst "disciplinary" boards ever.

Every single team has got away with everything they've ever done. Every player likewise. Yet in the year they've come under the most criticism, the referees too, they crack down on shirt raising in celebrations.

That's just pathetic. Players should be fined large amounts of money and bans should be exact, like the law. I don't know if there are stated ban lengths for different crimes, but regardless of confessions or not. Van should have got 5 game ban and £100,000 fine. Or else a percentage of wage ruling should be applied.

Too true. But there was no chance in hell that he would get any serious punishment.

It was just as bad as the Keane - Haaland challenge. An intent to hurt, with a raised foot, aimed at the kneeish area.

Disgraceful.

Absolute disgrace because it's too long or short?
If it's too short then fine.
If it's too long then I must ask what drugs you're on

3 month ban at least I say.
Yup yup.
