If mikels has been made to 4, i can only guess Eboue + Toure will get about 4-5 each

i think its based on the no. of reds a player has had in the season

i know mikel has had 2 now, so its an automatic 4 game, with the possibility of the FA increasing it due to his involvement in the melee

I still think Eboue deserves a rebuttle, but that evidence should mean more than a terrible amount of embarassment for Bridge. There was not enough force in that connection to close a door.

The FA bottles it again. By all means fine Adebayor for failing to leave the field of play but if you arnt rescinding the red card then you have to ask why another 5 players werent sent off, complete joke

[Epitomessence]

Thrilling game with some fantastic individual performances. Delighted for Theo, but more delighted for Chelsea, obviously.

The brawl at the end was entertaining but unnecessary.

Great match, now people only talks about what happened with the fight and not about the match, shame really.

It's being blown way out of proportion. The only nasty thing was that the **** Eboue slapping Bridge on the neck. But even that was hardly anything and was no way powerful enough to floor a full grown man.

I wonder if Fabregas had flung himself to the floor when Drogba slapped him whether Drogba would have been sent off.

my points exactly...it was mostly handbags out there...wayne bridge made a meal out of it.
eboue, mikel, lampard and toure was nothing but a tussel.

A huge shame. The first all London League Cup final, the last at the Millenium Stadium, and a match which was played in good spirit until the handbags moment. Greatful of Arsenal's physiotherapist on the match too and I am pleased to see Terry deliberately made the team wait so he can personally thank him. Even though I'd say it's common courtesy, I can't see every footballer doing that for granted.

Hope to see more Chelsea-Arsenal fixtures played in good spirit.
