Yes but its not just TV out, its Gallas and Djourou. Which leaves us too very aged centrebacks and a game against Barcelona midweek for which Sol has to recover. And its an away game against a tricky, long-ball team.

The more i think about this, the more it pisses me off. Especially in light of what the other top teams get away with.

True true...

i'm probably less pissed off, coz i thought it would be a 3 game ban straight up.

Professional fouls are ONLy one game, that has ALWAYS been the case.
Violent conduct is a THREE match ban.....

Professional foul WITH violent conduct CAN accumulate the extra match but depending on the severity or the previous disciplinary record can be extended.

I meant that the FA didn't deem the appeal "frivolous" and hand him an extra game ban.

Never thought they would overturn it, if they had there would have been screams from the M62 mafia blaming Davi Dein's influence ( Sarcasm )
