Wow. Look at the games he's gonna miss, all in FA's plan I guess, as we all expected. Taking so long to pass the judgement just so to find the worse stretch of games for us. Surely there's some anti Spurs up there at the committee all these years. I won't be surprised by the biasness.

What a surprise the dippers being his last game suspended.
Zero tolerance for racism means what it means. KICK IT OUT*
*kicking out of racism only applies for weekend EPL matches but for Europa you can kick it in for a bit but don't go overboard eh
Why the fuck has it taken so long?
In what normal world should one offense take so long to judge. It's so fucking bent and not even hiding it. Kind of surprised they didn't wait until we had more injuries first.... But wait, we do play Chelsea before the QF cup match.
I'm sure Levy will get top lawyers on this though! Maybe a couple of job experience interns who he can pay with a go kart session.

I assume we already tried that - hence the delay
And Bissouma gets a full rest from Europa eg not involved whatsoever - full rest / recovery
yeah it's odd, would Love to Levy to point that out but he's too much of a soft milquetoast nothing character for that.
It really is starting to look like"them and us" innit?
I'm just waiting for the stadium ban because there are still Star of David flags visible on Matchdays!!
I don't quibble with the ban, that was always coming and he deserves to be punished. What he said was racist and he showed himself to be deeply ignorant.
But the lack of consistency from the FA re: those Argentina player is a joke.

He's clearly a bit of an idiot to have did what he did. Football wise, Bents was coming into a bit of a form - when he's on song I think he's our best all round midfielder, this will be a bigger miss than some might think.
I do think it's yet another position we need to upgrade if we're serious about top four.

Yeah its very frustrating for when they timed it. Also seems bizzare how Enzo got no ban for a a more deliberate offence.
Also the irony of watching Thomas Partey start every week for Woolwich and even be their face of their matchday program some weeks. I heard he was brought in for questioning again last week after a 4th girl came forward. That case is all alleged and highly circumstantial so I get why the premier league can't act but it just makes the Bentancur ban look all the more ridiculous!
He's also on 4 yellows so a booking in one of his first 2 games back would suspend him for another league game.
It's well known. They have even had truth tellers like
Gobbygonk
silenced.
Am I right in thinking that any previous year, his yellows would be wiped by the time of his return from his ban, but the rules have changed just this year such that they won't be wiped?
He needs to lose his players payments for the time he is banned!
That will teach him!
Same as previous years I believe
1 game ban after 5 yellows in the first 19 games
2 game ban after 10 yellows in the first 32 games
3 game ban after 15 yellows
If the ban is 7 games and starts with City, it would mean his first league game back was our 18th game.
Bernardo Silva: Essentially the same offence = 1 game.
That was not the same lmao, the length of this ban is bullshit but don't do your usual gymnastics.
...and SEVEN times what Enzo Fernandez got for singing a tuly vile song about Black French footballers (some of whom were his fucking TEAM MATES!)
At least Bentancur apologised, and we didn't give him the Captaincy as reward!!
Maybe we should have, and he'd shown no remorse... Seems to get you off scott free for racism these days!
I think they've been changed just for US!!!
