The racism thing was 8 matches. And I think this ban is longer because of his reputation and previous conduct like the other biting incident and the racism incident. Probably someone who never had a history of doing controversial things wouldn't have gotten a 10 match ban.
10 games is just a joke.
sidwell is on only 4 match ban for almost breaking 2 people's legs.
defoe got nothing a few seasons back for biting masch
says alot about the power of the media on football these days
He got 8 games in Holland for doing the same thing so he was always going to get at least 8 games so the FA don't look soft.
isn't he?still thinking suarez is a diver
