Fergie gets charged for calling the ref a wanker or whatever at the Newcastle game, but this French TWAT gets away with murder for some reason. The players will get some form of supsension Wanger will appeal, they'll drag it out then reduce the suspensions and nothing will change. I just hope Chelsea become the premier team of London.
