I wonder why they are anti-United for ages. One of their funniest decisions was that fining on United for getting 7 yellow cards in a match. Another weird one was banning Wayne and Scholes for getting red cards in PRE SEASON matches ?!! do they even know about Chelsea or L’pool in their pre season games? why would they care anyway!

Let’s not get carried away with the whole drogba coin thing. It is a coin, not a ninja start, there is no way some could die from a coin being thrown. Having said all that, the evra ban is laughable. How they can excuse the chelsea groundsmen for “insuffecient evidence” yet arrest some asshole at white hart lane for his racial abuse on sol Campbell is beyond me. I would love to hear chelsea fans explain that. How are pictures of the abuser good enough, but pictures and CCTV aren’t good enough for the evra situation.

The FA are intimidated by United, they feel like they have to show something. Thats why they have to hand out these stupid bans, while others teams get away with it.

Has the English FA gone ABU? I bet if you plant some mikes in the FA lounge or meeting room you’ll hear them sniggering, ‘we got ‘em again, didn’t we? teach ‘em to tell us wot to do! ManU should consult legal counsels for advise….

what evra did probably did deserve a ban, but its all context bound. if drogba only recieves 3 games for throwing a coin into a croud, most likely not hitting the fan who threw it and yet someone innocent, and to be caught gesturing the finger shows sucha double standard. The groundsman works and therefore is Chelsea’s responsibility hence any action should have been less upon Evra, as it was that twat who should have been reprimanded, remember there were serious allegations from numerous sources on racism. I wish there was a forum in which the people who implement these bans can sit, answer fans questions and explain their actions. It would be interesting to here them squirm there way out of yet another miscarriage of justice.

for one people may moan at us but i sincerley hope Fergie, Gill and MUFC don’t just accept this and force the issue.

What most of us are forgetting here, it seems, is that the words ‘logic’ and/or ‘precedent’ rarely mean a fuckin’ thing to the F.A. and no more so than where United are concerned. It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if we found out that all the members on the disciplinary panel put the most ludicrous punishments they can think of into a hat and pull one out at random.

What I reckon they’ll say is that it’s a 3-match ban for violent conduct (meaning they believe he threw the first punch, ignoring the fact he was obviously provoked) and another match because it’s technically his second suspension of the season (despite the fact the incident itself took place last season). That’ll be their ‘logic’.

As noted, hopefully Fabio is back from injury by then and the twins can cause the oppo some confusion! If not, I’ll probably have to leave cutting my nails for a few weeks while John O’ deputises …

Of all the comments above, I couldnt agree more with Sam’s. It is really hard, damn hard, to imagine one of our player once behaved so embarrassingly as did Vieira. The last time we did something terrible was….when? Cantona? Keane?

And if you look back all these mentioned years, it’s even harder to imagine how we get treated like this while Chelsea, compared to us, got away with almost nothing.

FA is bollocks.

But when we still win the titles despite all these unjusts, its just sweet.

Heres another comparision for that b.s coin throwing incident.
Cantona knocked out for I think 3 months for his bruce lee impersonation which while dangerous (Dangerously cool) was directly racially provoked and didnt actually do damage gets turn over for 3 months.
Drogba throws a coin which could hit an innocent person and potentially kill someone and gets 3 games?? WTF???
