However to believe Utd get special treatment by the FA is rediculous, it's more everything we do is highlighted more so people remember it more. Remember Rio's ban for missing the drug test? Guess what, a City player missed his around the same time because he was picking his mum up from the airport and got off as English wasn't his first language and he said he hadn't understood (true story). Where City not 'favoured' then? Gerrard got off for an elbow earlier in the season and it's the way it goes, silly decisions that every teams get now and then. Evra got a 4 game ban for fighting with a Chelsea groundsman and Rio got an extra game for appealing not too long ago. Don't think any player has got an extra game for appealing since? Eric got a lengthy ban too, so believe me it's not all in our favour!
oh please...
1) negouai didn't forget his drugs test. he was on the way to it but got stuck in traffic. he still turned up for it but the drug testers decided to leave before he arrived. he was fined £2000 a punishment that was approved by fifa.
on the other hand wio apparently 'forgot' about his test because he had a house move on his mind & ended up going shopping. this was despite having been reminded at least twice within an hour of the scheduled test &, allegedly having left the building via a toilet window.
2) gerrard got off for the same reason rooney did. he's a team england poster boy.
3) evra got a ban because he assaulted the chelsea groundsman not just once but twice when went back for afters. the despicable **** made a completely false allegation that he was racially abused.
4) this is the best one yet. have you already forgotten that bacon face deliberately appealed against wio's retrospective red card simply so he could play against city in the carling cup semi while the appeal was being submitted. he knew full well it was a frivolous appeal that stood no chance of succeeding & that a 4 match ban would result.
5) cantona was rightly banned for being a vicious lunatic.
in the last couple of years or so rooney has got away with other elbows & stamping, vidic with at least 3 elbows & a smack in the face (that was wigan too), scholes with countless tackles from behind, nani being a cheating diving **** & tranny with at least 3 kicks on opponents that the refs apparently saw & dealt with - by doing nothing.
