Seeing as there doesn't appear to be any mention of police involvement, it looks like we'll have to wait another day for Arsenal to get docked points.

We only have Hull's word on whether he was spitting "at" someone.
Brown has done a good job at Hull but there was clearly a large element of sour grapes.
He complained about Fabregas being on the pitch, how Fabregas was dressed (Have you seen some of your own jackets Phil?) and finally accused Fabregas of turning round and spitting at his assistant's feet. I don't think that would ever be classed as an assault even if the police had witnessed it.
Now if it was a Brian McClair nose clearance then that would have been a different matter.
One of those could easily taken you feet away.
I think the best way to remove points from Arsenal would be to score more goals than them
