So let me try and get the facts of this straight: COSTA - will receive a 3 match ban (violent conduct) GABRIEL - already has a 3 match ban (Arsenal appealing) - has another 3 match ban for not leaving the field (poor conduct) I don't agree with the Costa ban - it's as we now know 'handbags' and nothing serious for the players. I wonder how Arsenal can appeal the original red card - he did it plain as day - I think the FA will uphold their decision on that. If the FA decide to reduce Arsenals punishment - then there is clearly an alternative factor at play here and any claims of prejudice towards Chelsea will hold merit.
