£5k? I'm sure that'll hit him where he lives...

And I believe it was only this morning that Erikson was calling him a superb role model

Seriously though, I think football fines are a joke and are designed to be:
a) big enough and regular enough to fill the F.A's (or law courts and lawyers) coffers and
b) small enough so multi million pound players really don't care about them.

I think all fines should be related to income.

Eriksson called him a superb role model? Yesterday Sepp Blatter pretty much called him a little brat who needs a good kicking.

Yeah. It was in the metro.

Fines a ajoke. a serious incident for a player should be 6 months of income for a multimillionare player. 5K when you earn 50,000 - 100,000K plus sponsorships in a week is pathetic.
