UPDATE: West Ham Found Guilty of Millwall Trouble

The Football Association has charged them with being unable to control their fans after violence broke out in their Carling Cup match against Millwall.

During the match, a Millwall supporter was stabbed outside the stadium grounds in East London and pitch invasions occurred after each West Ham goal scored in extra time.

A wide range of sanctions are available, but the more likely punishments include a hefty fine or a suspension sentence.

UPDATE: The club has been charged £115,000, which they can appeal in the 14 days after the decision was made.

Not This Can of Worms Again

The FA and the Premier League have supposedly reopened the West Ham-Tevez Saga yet again. What they think they haven’t unearthed already, I have no bloody idea.

Didier Drogba Gets 3-Match Ban

For throwing a coin into the Burnley fans and then displaying a very confident one-finger salute, Didier Drogba has received a 3-match ban from The FA Regulatory Commission. So he’s going to miss home fixtures against Newcastle and Arsenal and the away match to Bolton. Frankly, I’m not all that concerned. As long as Anelka doesn’t get injured, I think we’ll survive without Didier. Sorry mate.
