....and so we bloody should.
Reported in last night's MuEN...it said that Van Persie had merely received a call to remind him of his responsibilities. No other action is to be taken against him for his abusive obscenities in front of the City fans, despite a formal complaint being made to the Greater Manchester Police.....Charging Ade, smacks of, not only double standards but of corruption in the FA.

There has been no mention of the violent behaviour of the Arsenal fans.
There has been no mention of the racist, banana throwing from the Arsenal fans.

There are some serious lessons that City need to learn....and some serious actions that City need to take.

I just hope that won't result in a harder punishment.

I half expected there to be a charge over the cesc incident. (Even though they set wednesday deadlines for such charges) The celebration should result in a £5000 fine and a 2 match suspended sentence(6 months).

Spot on John. Until the club does something about this (Through a legal challenge - If need be) then the corruption and blatant bias shown towards the Sky4TM will carry on and they will always have an unfair advantage over other teams such as ourselves. Surely there should be huge alarm bells ringing when the disciplinary committe consists of people linked very closely to Premiership clubs, why has none of this been reported in the media, surely this could be deemed as a conflict of interest!?!

Do what ARSE did and take video evidence of 10 celebrations ( cheats in their case ) in the past that heve not resulted in bans, IE Neviile.

I know you don't mean it that way but I want to say it anyway. There are certain things I hope we don't learn from the Arsenal fans.

I like the mature way the club has handled everything. I'd like to see that continue but for them to be a bit more overt about taking the moral high ground.

I'd be quite pleased to see Hughes or someone allude to the fact that Arsenal fans will be shouting for the rags (to do them a favour) and how Adebayor missing in the derby helps them. That'll sting and split the fans. Awkward to respond to too.

There were a lot of challenges flying against Adebayor and a few other instances where Arsenal played less than clean football. I'd like to see Hughes give credit to Adebayor for not retaliating.

AND WHAT THE CUNTS AT THE F.A. WILL SAY IS THEY ARE CLAMPING DOWN ON IT..................i.e. MAKE A FUCKING EXAMPLE OF ADE.

IF HE GETS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A FINE AND SUSPENDED SENTENCE I HOPE SOMEOEN DISHES OUT SOME VIOLENCE AT F.A. HEADQUARTERS.

Quite seriously, I think he should get off with it.
If van persie can be obscene to city fans without city fans rioting. Then the arsenal fans shpould be blamed fair and square for their own actions.
I have a funny feeling that this incident will return to Arsenal and bite 'em on the bum...hard. Karma is a very funny thing.
