Lucas Paqueta

1000 days might sound good but the true number is closer to 400.

Listen to Simon Jordan's reasoning on why there is huge risks involved in suing the FA.


It was an FA panel which cleared Hennessey of making a nazi salute.

Nevertheless,the FA brought charges that were unproven.
It's outrageous that they the let this crock of a persecution continue

Not to mention the sale to Man City being scuppered

I think he might well stay, not worth selling him on the (very) cheap, he might play like a player reborn. Did you watch last night? Fulkrug looked good, lost a few pounds, wants the starting role, could start repaying us. Here's hoping!

Can you imagine facing charges you know to be untrue and having to wait all this time to be "cleared"?
It is outrageous,swifty

It was ridiculous, and it's hardly throwing a match when it's middle of the pitch anyway, not true 'fixing' for a few fivers. They had the evidence (or not) months ago. He's not a bettor is Lucas Paqueta.

I was not so certain about his Uncle,swifty

Happy birthday uncle!

What about Kitson?! FA would've tried to get him locked up if it happened today!

What I fail to understand is why a footballer on £100,000 per week would consider betting crooked for peanuts

I thought the accusation was that his mates/family would have profited from betting on his bookings, not the player himself.

You can castigate the FA and they look responsible for leaking misleading information to the press, but the initial instigator was Betway.  They are the ones who's BS influenced the gullible and ill informed FA

It's happened countless times on here that people are adamant in their conclusions that a market is bent with insiders, when it isn't.

A churlish "Not Proven" from the appropriately named FA
