I doubt he'd even have the guts to show his face in a real city like London. He'd probably be too chicken to show up in Manchester, New Hampshire, let alone Manchester, England -- or even Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-5965740675459494972009-09-05T09:01:35.741+01:002009-09-05T09:01:35.741+01:00http://youngguns.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/capello-...http://youngguns.wordpress.com/2009/09/03/capello-arsenal-have-set-an-important-example/<br /><br />http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/arsenal/article2633746.ece<br /><br />libero, you are in fact wrong<br /><br />merida was fined, arsenal have not been charged or found guilty of anything in the merida case<br /><br />hence your argument falls away into dust<br /><br /1979goonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08783799499006052572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-2327584732511689612009-09-05T08:27:09.618+01:002009-09-05T08:27:09.618+01:00Libero you are right, but in my mind the hypocrisy...Libero you are right, but in my mind the hypocrisy will be in Uefa's next steps. All players cheat, so ban all players. All clubs tap up signings, so ban all clubs from making transfers. Simplistic I know, but that is the path UEFA have to head down.<br /><br />It looks like they may be happy to ban other clubs from making transfers (one of which may be Arsenal given the Merida, Coquelin Obsinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682633045526999412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-5379940400407551852009-09-05T08:10:17.145+01:002009-09-05T08:10:17.145+01:0079gooner - don't be so spectacularly naive.

Now Libero's point is hard to take issue with if we know for a fact that the crime Chelsea have been arbitrarily found guilty of is also committed by other clubs. As with Eduardo, we know every player cheats and so UEFA are right and fair to clamp down. So I would welcome Eddy's 2 match ban if Ashley Young was facing the same fate, and also every player who claims a throw-on Obsinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682633045526999412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-7006088049259495202009-09-04T19:47:51.729+01:002009-09-04T19:47:51.729+01:00I don't think libero's point is dependant ...I don't think libero's point is dependant on whether Arsenal have broken the rules.<br /><br />Many clubs, maybe including Arsenal, have broken the rules, yet Chelsea get punished.<br /><br />The inconsistency on this blog is that you say the Eduardo decision is a disgrace, yet you applaud the Chelsea decision.<br /><br />That is simply not right.
