Mings has been banned for five matches:

Probably deserves it, but I think that Ibrahimovic can count himself lucky to be getting less.

The bans don't seem to relate to any scale of punishment. These 2 players were prepared to seriously hurt each other yet one gets the same punishment as Huth got for pulling Fellaini's hair. That's just bloody ridiculous. Huth gets 3 games then these two have to get at least double that. Otherwise there's no deterrent to putting a fellow player's career at risk.

Bonkers but it's exactly what I expected.
 
The pub I drink in is in South Norwood. It's a big Palace pub, the one right next to the station. I watch Spurs there a fair bit and there are about 10 Spurs who drink there and the Polish landlord has come with us to some games despite being a United supporter.

When they show Arsenal they put up a sign:

"All Soft Drinks £5"

It stops the horde of Arsenal fans coming in and nursing 1 coke throughout the whole match. You'd be amazed how many turn up and expect to pay £1 to watch the football.
Norwood.Reminds me of the 33 tram I used to ride as a kid....and the scary drop into the Kingsway Tunnel.
Today it reminds me of Crystal Palace and Fat Sam's drop into the second division. Oh I'm evil!
 

The day always begins with...."I Got You Babe"

[HER:] He says they're young and we don't know
We won't find out until theo grows
[HIM:] Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause we played Bayern and we got ****ed 10-2

[Him] Babe
[BOTH:] We got stuffed babe, We got raped babe

[HER:] They say our cash won't pay the debt
Before the window, our money's all been spent
[HIM:] I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
With Wenger in charge our title hopes are shot

[HIM:] Babe
[BOTH:] We got gubbed babe, we got thrashed babe

[HIM:] We collapse every spring We ain't got no songs to sing
[HER:] And I'm so sad, Wenger's a clown
And I get scared, he'll be forever around

[HER:] We all think he's been here too long
And all his ****ing signings go wrong
[HIM:] Put their mitts in this wallet of mine
Kroenke wants his hands on every dime

[HIM:] Babe

[BOTH:] We got done babe We got ****ed babe

[HIM:] We got you to drive us mad
[HER:] We got you to make us sad
[HIM:] We got you to lie to us
[HER:] We got you to make us cuss
[HIM:] We got you so we come fourth
[HER:] We got you we lose in the north
[HIM:] We got you and you won't go
[HER:] We got you and hate you so

[BOTH:] We got done babe
We got gubbed babe
We got ****ed babe
We got raped babe
We got thrashed babe
 
I'd quite like Barca to do it, just to show that it's possible to come back from a four goal deficit.
If they can keep the clean sheet, then it's not hard to see them scoring another three goals.
One more and I think the atmosphere will blow up completely.
 
BT Sport should have some sort of online voting system, like a crappy reality TV show.
I'd love to be able to boot off some of their commentators and pundits.
McManamanamanamanaman is just annoying and offers no insight at all.
 
Half watching the Man City stoke match and Stoke are doing alright. Man City have been really poor so far. Although not as poor as Berahino who has literally been anonymous.
He looks so unfit and can't even do the basics like hold the ball up.
