Of course they do. And so does Mr Scudamore and the FA.
Seriously. We are not suppose to get in the top 6, let alone start beating those in the top four! If they'd given the decision yesterday, then City could appeal and he could play, if they leave it until the last moment today, or suspend until Thursday, then there is no time to appeal and he won't play.
The premier league has already decided who should win and go through to Europe because they make more money that way. If we beat united following thrashing Arsenal, that would send serious waves around the skysports and premiership cash tills, they may even feel the need to remove all the pictures of Ferguson and Wenger they have on their desks that the stroke each morning.
That's why the outrageous Racist attacks on Ade with the banana throwing is being completely ignored for something that was apart of the game. As an FA referee myself in Sunday league, it makes me realise what a complete crock of crap the whole FA "Kick racism out of football" campaign is. I suppose we'll be told the arsenal fans were just trying to make sure he was getting one of his five a day.
As the saying goes, just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean you're not being followed!!
