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.
From the FA web site:
Arsenal - charged with 'failing to ensure the proper behaviour of their players'.
Lauren - two counts of improper conduct for 'confronting Ruud van Nistelrooy after Patrick Vieira's sending-off, and for confronting Ryan Giggs after the final whistle' and two counts of violent behaviour for 'kicking out at Quinton Fortune following the penalty award and for forcibly pushing van Nistelrooy in the back following the final whistle'.
