And you support Manchester United? Bizarre.Now as much as I dislike Evans as a player and would enjoy not watching him play for 10 games, 10 match ban for spitting in the direction of a player who kicked out at you...seems a tad ridiculous? Media is blowing it way way up.
That escalated quickly. Going a bit OTT there?Phil Neville, the absolute clown. According to Phil Neville, spitting is the worst act you can commit on a football pitch. Above:
1. Punching
2. Kicking
3. Headbutting
4. Biting
5. Breaking bones
6. Pissing
7. Defecating
8. Killing
9. Torturing
10. Raping
Media strikes again.Six matches, that is insane.
Not that bizarre really.And you support Manchester United? Bizarre.
Just saying..That escalated quickly. Going a bit OTT there?
Seems a pretty clear spit at Cisse from Evans to me. Though it seems completely random to spit at someone because of that so that puts a bit of doubt in my mind. Then again, people can control when and where they spit, and he pretty blatantly spat right at or a couple of inches in front of cisse jut as he was getting up, he could have spat to the side or not spat at all, so it just seems pretty blatant that he purposely spat at Cisse. Both should get a ban, but something like 6 games is a bit ridiculous. 3 games like if it was a red card would be fine.
Or two less.Six game ban does look likely, the video evidence is enough to punish both of 'em. It's an excessive ban but the FA will want to make an example. He'd have only got two extra games for racially abusing Cisse...
"Papiss, did you fink I fackin' spat on you? I didn't fackin' spit on you like this."Or two less.
Giving him the benefit of a doubt.Tweet

"Having woken up this morning I am shocked to have seen the media coverage from last night’s match. I would like to make it clear that I did not spit at Papiss Cisse.
"I was totally unaware of any spitting incident and had assumed that the issue at the time was with the challenge and his attempted retaliation to the tackle from the floor. During the game Papiss Cisse and I spoke about the incident and it is clear by my reaction in the television footage that I was totally surprised by any suggestion of spitting.
"It is not in my character or in my nature to spit at anybody nor is it something I have ever done or would ever do. It is certainly not something that I did last night."
Sorry Jonny, we don't believe you because we're quite happy if you get banned. If you had been more of a Herrera or a Blind type we might have supported you.Tweet

Why? He's not nearly good enough and Cleverley has already gone thankfully.I also hope he retires at United, along with Young, Valencia and Cleverley.
whats this? you are ruining the thread, it started so well...pure comedySome of you lot are embarrassing. This is similar to mob lynching. Say the same footage exists for De Gea, you lot would claim it's not conclusive. Just because the player is not doing great currently, you lot want him to be banned and laughably transferred. He's at this club when he was a little boy, and he has given his best for United. Have a fecking heart, if the manager says the boy is good, then he's good. The manager thinks that Evans couldn't have done it, Evans has issued a statement he didn't mean to do it. Video evidence only proves he spit immediately after the incident. Whether he meant to direct his spit at Cisse is something only he can know. If the FA wants to ban him, then fine. Give the benefit of the doubt to the player, he's our player.
Nothing to do with that. He is caught on camera, spitting at an opponent. No matter what player it was, I would conclude that he deserves a lengthy ban, as it's disgusting. To claim he didn't mean it is simply not a defence in my opinion, he spits directly at him. Unless his spitting is as wayward as my outside of my left foot passing, it's pretty conclusive.Some of you lot are embarrassing. This is similar to mob lynching.

Waheeee, we don't want him to play, let's get the FA to ban him. For feck's sake, it's so embarrassing that I wish we had a RAWK like mentality denying Suarez is a dirty player.whats this? you are ruining the thread, it started so well...pure comedy
It was mostly a reaction post towards some of our most embarrassing support.Why? He's not nearly good enough and Cleverley has already gone thankfully.
Thousands of football players spit on the ground. At best, he's being extremely ignorant while spitting so closely to an opposing player and he can cop a fine if the FA thinks so. What will you say if it happened with De Gea and he claims that he didn't spit at the opponent?Nothing to do with that. He is caught on camera, spitting at an opponent.

Those that think he is lying about spitting at Cisse? All I can say to that is if he was not a United player I feel most would admit the video looks bad and expect any player to deny it.It was mostly a reaction post towards some of our most embarrassing support.
But still, if they stay, all good. They are anyway not that bad.
No. Not about them.Those that think he is lying about spitting at Cisse?
I see, which ones then?No. Not about them.
Evans was a backbone of the team that won the league at a canter.Those that think he is lying about spitting at Cisse? All I can say to that is if he was not a United player I feel most would admit the video looks bad and expect any player to deny it.
They are though, if our goal is to actually be a title contender again we can't be carrying mediocrity like Evans and Cleverley, and that is entirely independent of this incident.
Oh god not this crap again.Evans was a backbone of the team that won the league in the canter.
