kompany appeal dismissed

That's stupid. It should never have been a red. Even the ref realised it as he gave United players a load of soft yellows just to seem unbiased I reckon. If Manchester City are still top when Kompany returns, they will win the league. Coping without Kompany and 2 x Toure will be some test though.

4-game ban because he already has a straight red card this season.

Will miss matches vs Tottenham, both CC legs vs Liverpool and Monday's trip to Wigan.

Luckily it's only 2 league matches. Even so, I reckon this could be a turning point in the league. He's been one of their best players this season, arguably more so than Aguero and Silva.

I take it Adebayor cannot play vs his parent club when Man City meet Tottenham?

A four match ban for a well timed one footed tackle?

Pure comedy.

I completely agree, surely it's a two-footed tackle if both feet touch the player.

No, Adebayor won't be able to play for Spurs against Manchester City.

Jermain Defoe will probably start up at Eastlands.

Tonight is a huge game for Spurs at home to Everton - a win would take us level on points with Manchester United in second place in the Premier League.

Then there's another home game against struggling Wolves before that vital encounter with City.

Exciting times for a Spurs fan!

Tottenham 2-0 Everton. Level on points with Utd. If they beat Wolves on Saturday they go level on points with City and possibly joint top of the league as Man City play on Monday.

Also, and I know it's the PL thread, but how is this not a red card, if Kompany's was? If anything, in my opinion, it's worse than Kompany's. Glen Johnson is a lucky man.

The only thing consistent about the decision on this is the inconsistency of it all.

Consistent inconsistency.

It's a disgrace.

This is a two-footed challenge. Two feet touch the ball, it's reckless and it could clearly take the player out.

Basically neither of the two tackles should have received even a free kick, but if one was given a red then the other had to be.

It's embarrassing for the FA and our referees...

Oh also anyone hear Gerrard being a complete retard on the post-match interview? Blaming Mancini of "hypocrisy" for suggesting that Johnson should have been sent off, when it was clear that all he was doing was drawing comparisons between the two tackles.

Must be something they put in the water in Liverpool...

My point exactly.

I know I'm in the minority, but I think they were both red cards.

No doubting Johnson's was worse though; I can't believe anybody's defending that.

To be fair to Gerrard, I think the way the reporter put the point to him made it seem like Mancini had been hypocritical. Gerrard wouldn't have actually seen Mancini's interview for himself.

Johnson's is similar to Mills's at Birmingham.

yes it is. two footed, but on the ball. tough call but has to be a red i suppose. Kompany's was never a red though for me, no excessive force, didn't go in with both feet, swept the ball away...etc

Liverpool playing a 5-5-0 at home against Stoke. Carroll and Bellamy both on the bench. "King" Kenny has officially lost it.
