Here's the players that "shamed football" according to the ever-lovely Daily Mail out having lunch today...
I can't see Toby in that picture.
Ah, well if that'd be the difference made by appealing, then I can see your point.
I disagree here - but only because I believe we'll have proper CM backup by then who can take his place.
Well, seems like we should assume we'll be without him on Sunday. Cometh the hour, cometh the N'Jie?
Eriksen moved back alongside Dier with: Clinton, Lamela, Son as our CAM trio?
Ha, I don't know that of course. Perhaps take the Vardy route and accept the charge, but ask for a hearing?
We should appeal dembele's one on the grounds that the lino saw it. Sure it will be thrown out and he'll get an extra game or 2 ban but it's worth it having him available for the Southampton game.
Some are talking about it but I can't see that as they would be opening a can of worms.. It would create more play acting even worse than what Chelsea offered on monday night.
Thing is though Billy, weren't manure and woolwich deducted points for a similar thing ?
Just found this
On 20 October 1990, Manchester United Football Club faced Woolwich Football Club in a Football League First Division fixture at Old Trafford, during the 1990–91 season. Woolwich won by a single goal, but the game was best remembered for a brawl between both teams. The Football Association (FA) took the unprecedented step of deducting league points from the two clubs.

Oh really, can't recall that.. That could make things interesting.
We will be hit with a massive fine but posts deduction? Give me a break. This is our second offence of the season...I think if it was our 3rd we'd probably be looking at a 1 point deduction but this one will be 'lat warning'.
Well that was pre premier league so hopefully they can't use that. The rules have changed a lot, some for better some for worse.
You clearly know more than the man from the FA on the radio earlier then, as he said it is a possibility.
The United Woolwich one was a full out brawl wasn't it? There was not even a punch thrown in this one. They will probably make an example out of dembele but a deduction? Give me a break.
There has never been a case of 3 offences of failing to control players in one game.
This is the big issue..Should be a massive fine but despite what some think they know, other punishments are a possibility.

Good one Guido - double standards methinks! If they try to take any points away we should threaten to sue them as Alan Sugar did, and they gave in. Also no way Dembele should get 10 game ban as anti Spurs press are trying to suggest.Completely agree, do the crime and all that....
My only issue is what has gone on before
Not charged.
Not charged
Not charged
5 game max!
Are you even including the 87th minute offence that they are referring to? that's the Dier tackle right?
what exactly did our players do wrong besides Dier who made that tackle? The chelski players were the ones running to the ref and shouting..we did nothing so that one will be thrown out for a start.
