    Bendtner fined €80k for his underwear, Man City fined €30k for being a minute late coming back for the second half, Wenger fined €40k for attempting to confront an official…

    These racism fines are peanuts, and absolutely no deterrent to the morons in the stands. Make them play behind closed doors and that will hit them where it hurts, in the pocket and on the pitch.

    UEFA is an abbreviation for unequal f#%^$€¥ arse holes …..because that’s all they are Platini & co are just self perpetuating morons who live in cloud cockoo land believing that €40.000 fine will solve a problem. Teams whose fans carry on in this manner in he 21st century SHOULD be automatically banned from the competition for that year & at least 2 more regardless of who they are & what history they have in the BEAUTIFUL GAME

      UEFA are living in cloud cuckoo land if they think a paltry €40.000 fine means anything to these clubs . Platini & co don’t have the balls to stand up to them the only thing they will understand is expulsion from the competition & banning for at least 2 years….maybe then they’ll put their own house in order if it’s going to cost them financially
