Two moments of
controversy this weekend has prompted two managers to call on the FA to act
swiftly and decisively.
Alan Pardew believes that Robin Van Persie should be punished
for seemingly elbowing Yohan Cabaye during his side’s 3-0 defeat to the Red
Devils. The incident was missed by referee Howard Webb.
He said: "He [Van Persie] has looked at Yohan and he
has elbowed him. I think that perhaps needs to be looked at, if I am honest.”
Meanwhile, Tony Pulis
wants the FA to have a look at Luis Suarez’s ‘light footed’ performance against
his team yesterday.
The Stoke boss believes the Uruguayan went to ground far too
easily in the goalless draw at Anfield.
"I've been on about and banging the drum about people
who fall over," Pulis remarked. "It's an embarrassment. The FA should
be looking at this."
The FA is set to take
action against Ashley Cole however, following the Chelsea man’s vitriolic tweet
from Friday.
The England left back called the Association “a bunch of
t****” in the wake of the full report of the John Terry race trial, in which the
validity of Cole’s evidence is questioned.
The 31-year-old is still set to link up with the England
squad for training later today.
Lionel Messi and
Cristiano Ronaldo both scored twice as the spoils were shared in the first ‘El
Clasico’ of the campaign.
A typically frenetic game ended 2-2, with Ronaldo’s brace
finishing off a remarkable week during which he has found the net eight times
in just three games.
