Top flight since 1919/20 - before that in the old Div 2. Arrived in the top flight under dubious circumstances - the original finanical dopers  |

Since the name was changed from Woolwich Arsenal that is correct. Tikay might have to confirm any financial jiggery-pokery c1920. |

Top flight since 1919/20 - before that in the old Div 2. Arrived in the top flight under dubious circumstances - the original finanical dopers ...and so began a rivalry. |

With Gabriel's red card quashed and django likely to get one instead retrospectively shouldn't there be a replay?
I remember one team who shall remain nameless trying to get a game replayed after they lost because they claimed to have eaten some dodgy lasagna. Surely we have a far stronger case than that.
On a serious note, how comes Mike Dean who got almost everything wrong including sending the wrong guy off making it 10v11 rather than 11v10 escapes scott-free and is back in action for this weekend's Premier league fixtures?

No idea how Dean was not demoted after such a weak inept performance.

He's going to get it back again when they ban him for his reaction to being sent off. |

Me too, but the scratch marks on his neck and the lameness of his back-flick must have somehow made the powers-that-be see a modecum of sense. I don't think that anyone can opine that justice hasn't been done which makes a very pleasant change for the FA. |

Straight/crooked red for Gabriel, two yellows for SantiC. |

I don't think that anyone can opine that justice hasn't been done which makes a very pleasant change for the FA. The provocation doesn't matter. He aimed a kick at an opponent. That's a straight red for violent conduct. |

Pains me to agree with Jose, but he's right. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/34344048Retaliation is now allowed apparently. |
