FA probes Van Persie race claims http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/4979786.stm The Football Association has written to Manchester City's David Sommeil after allegations he was racially abused by Arsenal's Robin van Persie. Arsenal defeated City 3-1 at Eastlands on Thursday and Sommeil informed referee Graham Poll of the alleged incident during the first half. "We went to see Poll, he informed us there had been an allegation of racial abuse," said City boss Stuart Pearce. Poll spoke to both players individually on the pitch following the incident. Pearce added: "None of my players mentioned it to me at half-time or after the game. "But if someone does come and speak to me about it, it will be taken very seriously." The incident was believed to have taken place after a tussle in the penalty box. The FA is now awaiting Sommeil's response before deciding whether to launch a formal inquiry. ..... -- All come crashing down, your desperate icon. You've got to gob on, your desperate icon. You'll all come crashing in, your desperate icon You've got to gob on, your desperate icon. Am I a God or am I Jesus? Am I a man or am I a boy? Do I feel love or just possession? Do I feel holy or nothing at all? You can't deny, That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine. And you can't deny, That your shit just tastes as sweet as mine. Sweet Jesus. --
