The dawning realisation that his outburst of all outbursts will successfully hide the fact that it was both a Swansea freekick, and Van Persies reaction was easily worthy of greater punishment saddens me greatly. The media will once again spend all their time concentrating on the wrong things because of who is involved.
Swap RVP/Ferguson out for Balo/Mancini in that little circus and we'd have him banned before Christmas and Mancini getting a national chastising for suggesting something as ridiculous as a kicked football in a football match could have actually killed a man.
Seriously just what the fuck is going on?
