This is a fallacy, fifa have said that the fa can take whatever action they wish post game, however the fa do not want to overrule referees so if a referee has deemed an incident worthy of a foul or a booking or that it was not even a foul, they deem it has been dealt with and post game ramifications cannot be applied.

Fifa say do whatever you want.

If the ref watches the incident again and decides he would have taken no action or given him just a yellow card, then the FA can't take it any further. If the ref watches it again and decides he would have issued a red card, then the FA can take action. So basically what they are saying is the referee is always right.

IMO one of the biggest problems with modern football, the infallability of referees.

If we could review their decisions after matches then it might help them improve their (pretty appalling) standard. It would also stop diving immediately - there wouldn't be any point as you may win a pen/fk but you could be banned for 3 matches afterwards.
 
Arsenal chief executive Ivan Gazidis believes Emirates Marketing Project are jealous the North Londoners remain in three competitions this season.

The Gunners extended their stay in the FA Cup with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Sunday while City bowed out to Manchester United in the third round.

City exited the Carling Cup at the semi-final stage to Liverpool last week and they are now facing Europa League football after missing out on qualifying for the knock-out stage of the UEFA Champions League.

However, City are top of the Premier League table ahead of the Red Devils while Roberto Mancini's troops are 18 points ahead of Arsenal and current favourites for a first-ever Premier League crown.

City have spent hundreds of millions of pounds assembling one of the best squads in European football, although Gazidis insists Arsene Wenger's side incorporate a 'value system' that promotes long-term sustainability.

Sustainability

"We're in three competitions this year. Emirates Marketing Project would love to be in three competitions," explained Gazidis. "They're not. So money is not everything in this game.

"I don't disagree that it's important. But we do things based on a value system. We're about creating star players, not about buying them.

"We're about what happens in a team, between players, not individual superstars. And that's an inspiration to people around the world. We can't afford to compete with oil money and we can't afford to compete with super-wealthy individuals from Russia.

"But the more important thing about our model is that it's sustainable. Our business model means we can continue to do what we're doing forever.

"We're proud of the way we do things and we're proud of the results that we're able to produce from that."

Which three competitions are they still in? Pretty sure they are out of the league cup and they have 0 chance of the league...

The champions league and the fa cup?

It'll probably be down to 0 very soon..
 
From Arsenal Mania.. I'll just leave this here...

Tomorrow: We win against Bolton. 10 points.

This weekend: We beat Blackburn and they lose to Liverpool. 7 points.

March 24: We beat Villa, they lose at Chelsea. Us by 7.

March 31-April 1: We beat QPR, they beat Swansea. Us by 7.

April 7: We beat Emirates Marketing Project at home, they get only a draw at Sunderland. Us by 9.

April 9: This could be a banana peel game for us, at Wolves. But it could also be one for The Scum, as they host surprsing Norwich. Us by 9.

April 14: We beat Wigan, they beat Bolton. Us by 9.

April 21: We beat Chelsea at home (why not, we beat them on the road and we'll be healthier than we were then), they only get a draw at QPR. Us by 10, and there's 9 points left to be won. Happy St. Totteringham's Day.

Not sure which is more deluded.. thinking we would lose that many or that they would win that many... :ross:
 
We need 21 points from 45 left for 70 points and I feel a guaranteed CL place, they need 34 points from 48 to match that, absolutely no fudging chance !!!!

Scum have massive strength in depth however, specially in midfield. Other than Van Pervie they don't have world class players, but the majority of their players are all as good as each other. They are able to replace players without harming the team.
Look at their possible attacking Cms - Arteta, Ramsey, Wiltshire, Benayoun, Rosicky. All are neat tidy creative players.
At DM - Coquelin, Song, and to an extent Ramsey and Djourou can play their
WF- Walcott; Arshavin; Gervinho; Oxlade Chamberlain. Not much to pick between any

Whereas with us an injury crisis and we are left with Nelson at the back, Dos santos on the flanks, Livermore in CM alongside Krancjar feeding balls for Saha to run onto.

The poster who posted that is pretty much the one who is running their thread" Let's all still laugh at Tottenham" on his own. From what he writes in that thread he shows a complete disregard for anything realistic when it comes to football and he's more concerned with slagging off Spurs than supporting his own side.

As for the reactions, smiles and hopes of course, but he seems to be some kind of forum gimp.
 
lols at this guy expecting us to go 6-2-7 from our remaining games after going 15-4-4 to start the season
