Meh. It's not like he scores a lot. We'll be alright, the festive schedule is pretty easy.
8 games is ridiculous though. But the FA are wanting to make a point. It should be interesting to see what Terry gets, my guess is the white Brit gets the minimum (6 matches).
By the way, Evra is a huge crybaby. Calls Suarez a "South American" and is incensed when he's called "black".
