Bergkamp buys win at West Ham for £7,500

Of course this is on a theoretical basis as Dennis was fined 7,500 pounds for putting his elbow in Lee Bowyer's face before crossing for Henry to put us 2-1 up and set us on our way to a 3-1 win. (that was in the good old days when we won games)

£7,500 is just like a pocket money to him.

Yet again Arsenal "suffer" at the hands of the F.A.
Any news yet on Ruud van "Lostthe ball's" behaviour during their mauling by AFC at Old Tramshed in the F.A. Cup? No? What a surprise. I think the F.A. have "overlooked" that? Again, what a surprise.
One rule for one (us), one rule for another (them).

That's an HSO if ever I've heard one.

Bergkamp has developed into a player making very dirty fouls on a (too) regular basis. Ruud van Nistelrooy hasn't (yet).

On one hand it's a natural process of players at a high level (as an attacker you must be vigilant towards hard defenders) but on the other hand you could argue that a player of his quality should try to avenge by good play and goals and assists.
