The FA should be watching the video of the game and order an immediate replay.

Alas if you are prepared to criticise players from other clubs then please remember your own Gareth Bale dear Arthur.

The ticket prices are the biggest concern at the club as far as I am concerned. It's the worst aspect of management at the club. We know we don't have the policy to pay the top transfer fees and wages so why charge the most for fans?

At the same time there are other circumstances. London is more expensive generally, Spurs and Chelsea are not too far behind us when it comes to ticket prices. Additionally Manchester City are partly to blame for the drastic wage inflation in recent years that is causing clubs to have to get more income from ticket revenue. It's fine for City fans who get to watch the world's best players as the cost is soaked up by their billionaire owners instead of being passed on the fans. It's gives them the luxury of lecturing Arsenal about ticket prices.

half the money spent on salaries is wasted which is a kick in the teeth.

Kolarov cleared of racially abusing fan holding Albanian flag. vs Newcastle.

i've said before all the money they clubs pay to agents should be stopped. This is money that is bled out of the game when it could be used to lower ticket prices. If a player wants an agent let him pay.

How FIFA can licence these leeches is beyond me

Spot on.

When a club is in financial trouble, I can't belive they are preferential creditors treated the same as other football debts.

what about when 'x' player wants to recoup the fee paid to the agent by asking for more money from the club? just another loophole that would happen in my opinion.
