True!!
.. but they ain't gunners
why the hell did Ronaldo and Giggs get charged
maybe Phil Neville but those charges are just the FA trying to makesure they dont look Man U biast.
As soon as that horrible horrible man Keown is thrown out of the game the better, the man is a disgrace, he doesnt defend, he just winds up players.

So it's been said. Still not seen any pictures of the punch. Have seen pictures of him being held by the neck and screamed at by a number of Arsenal players though, so that's possible reason for the leniant punishment.
Fully agree with the Viera charge, if your sent off, your off, start walking, get gone, get on with the game, being escorted off the field should not be required.
