No in all seriousness I agree with you someone should have got a ban. It was a deliberate foul and blatant attempt to cheat.
They should give red cards straight away to all the Arsenal players for bringing the game into disrepute for stepping on the pitch.

And strengthens UEFA's argument for referees at each end of the pitch as well.

Dave, I wasn't necessarily referring to the ref's not doing their job, but the F.A.

Clearly the ref got the wrong man, fair enough. But having reviewed the clear video evidence, surely the F.A. retroactively give Ox the red card and a 3 match ban and clear Gibbs of the offence.

That's what would happen in rugby.

It happens in football too.. just not to Arsenal it seems.

Preston North End had the wrong man sent off in their League One game against Port Vale in November. The striker Joe Garner was suspended retrospectively for three games after the midfielder Neil Kilkenny had mistakenly been dismissed.

I was referring to the FA also.

Liverpool have a genuine chance. They are in the Champions League again and can celebrate regardless.

I am very jealous but good to see a British Manager doing well.

Apparently Tim Sherwood has been sacked after punching a player. Awaiting confirmation.

Still only two injuries away from mediocrity, but its fun to watch and be in with a chance

Yup. Twitter noise.

6 "winnable" games left of this miserable season.

Consolidate 6th spot. Get a new manager. Get organised. And hope for a better time next year.

Bayern Munich in Champions League semis as Man United pull out
United board members have decided that they don't want 'The Wrong One' to face more embarrassment on the field in the current season and they will allow Bayern to move into the semis.
