I don't think Luis Garcia would have been as polite in his complaint as some of the Portsmouth players if it had been one of ours.

GOOD! Wasn't a Mrs Mendes was it....?

A bit like Stuart Pearce then. That was why they called him Psycho....

Just been told by a City fan at work that Thatcher got sent off for exactly the same thing in a preseason friendly in China (Or Somewhere).

With regards to Police action. The police got involoved with the Elliot and Saunders incident when that went to court and offered to get involved with Keane and that Man City player, but he declined to press charges. However, they were both career ending incidents really. Also the police have got involved with "Tunnel" incidents before so Yes the police can get invovled, but i think a complaint has to be raised first in situations like this. If Mendes goes to the police with an assault complaint, then I think they could charge Thatcher. However, in one similar incident before (Can't remember the palyers) one player said he was looking into assault charges, and there was a big backlash from old pro's, Rodney Marsh being one saying that the old "what happens on the field stays on the field" line. if there is gonna be a backlash from players wouldn't a pro think twice before bringing charges?. Personally, if I was Mendes and the FA did nothing, I WOULD bring charges and to be honest, as it is Thatcher, I don't think many other pro's would be that bothered. After all, they've got better footage than yer average black and white CTV grainy crap

He also seems abit of a hard b*****d too. He usually backs other players up when he is on the pitch and they are having a bit of bother and throws himself into many 50/50's, etc, last night he was bundling into two defenders with everyone flying all over the place. Not the sort of thing you would expect from a small flaire player from Europe.

Thing with Arsenals new stadium is also what they have done for the area. On Radio 4 recently it said they have helped add "affordable" housing/flats (Not expensive lush ones), Health Centres, several bridges, revamped station..... Done a lot for the area which was a "waste rail distribution centre" (A tip where the rubbish was removed by train I believe).

"Totally w***" surely To be fair Harry didn't look like that untill he had most of his face ripped off in a car accident when at Bournemouth.
