And in the ever increasing FA disciplinary hypocrisy...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41809685

Deeney given further punishment even though he was given a yellow at the time.
Very logical except the FA usually says it can't give any further punishment because a yellow was given at the time.
Or is it when the ref didn't see it?
Or the FA claims the ref didn't see it?
Such as when Mr Dembele got additional punishment for "gouging" during the infamous Chelski match, which was clearly seen but "wasn't", hence a six match ban was awarded. Deeney got half that. Why?
Or IMHO the ultimate hypocritical response in a single incident when Torres clearly gouged Vertonghen, and it wasn't seen, so the FA can give additional punishment. Apparently not because it was deemed to be part of an earlier incident which was seen. Er? Apparently that was a "loophole" that has now been closed but since the FA make the rules they clearly could have done something about it then if they could be bothered (and were not scared of Marueen). Incidentally the gouge at that time was far worse than Mossa's. So the upshot is the thing that Moussa got six matches for, Torres got a yellow.
 
Interestingly, the OS is saying this is currently now scheduled for 31 Dec, but wait for further info before booking travel/accommodation.

Ronaldinho, Robinho, Ibrahimovic, Maldini, Gattuso, Seedorf, Thiago Silva, Nesta, van Bommel, Pato, Zambrotta, Inzaghi, Cassano and Kaka were impressed.
Antonini's wondering what the **** he's doing anywhere near this squad.

Bear in mind that this is the year that we knocked that side out of the Champions League without conceding a goal to them.
And they got put out by Peter Crouch! <laugh>

Mention of Peter Crouch reminds me to mention what a great goal he scored on Saturday.
