UEFA's disciplinary panel is deliberating on whether Eduardo was guilty of deception. Its a much broader charge as the statement below suggests.

"Acting with the obvious intent to cause any match official to make an incorrect decision."

Arsenal is countering with a 19 page document which calls UEFA's investigations as a contravention to its own rules of not allowing "field of play" to be second guessed.

Graham Poll on diving.

"It was on the eve of the start to the Barclays Premier League season, when Sir Alex Ferguson spoke with authority and insight. 'Players who cheat are killing the game, not the referees,' observed the manager of the champions."

Straight of the bat, Poll reveals his bias.

"I come in peace, to give penance for winning three titles that should be rightfully yours"

Outrage at Arsene Wenger's treatment at the hands of Man Utd fans during Arsenal's visit to Old Trafford seems to have percolated up from Gunner blogs and online forums and entered the mainstream.

Above is the photographic evidence of Adebayor's malice. As if there was any more reason needed why he is not missed at Arsenal. Also, to make sure, he left because he was getting more money, so to slag Arsenal fans for his move is pure projection. But that was not the extent of Ade's imprint as he went after Cesc in the first half.

All the *wtf* moments belong to us:

First Diaby with his head scratching header that led to an own goal against Man Utd. The difference between a draw and a defeat. Then Almunia's bounce of the head from a bounce of the goalpost into the goal which gave City the lead and dampened a bright Arsenal start.

Arsene Wenger feels that 80 points will be enough to win the title as bigger teams drop points to the harder pushing smaller teams and Man City, the new billionaires on the block.

His calculations put Chelsea 65 points short with 33 games yet to be played and there is no reason why the Blues can't maintain their fast start.

Gerhard Kapl(at right): A fire and brimstone kind of chief

Time to dust off those videos and mete out retrospective punishment to those who deceive referees.

What, its not going to happen?

Only Eduardo gets to be the poster boy. Eighteen months ago he was the poster boy for tackles gone horribly wrong.

Hit with violent conduct has a nice "violent" feel to it, doesn't it? Kind of an eye for an eye.

Anyways, this is the first part of the FA investigation and the most appropriate one in my mind. Its an open and shut case. The other is the instigation of the Gunner fans with his over the top celebration.
