    The Football Association has just released the following statement:

    "At a Regulatory Commission hearing today, a claim for wrongful dismissal from Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen was dismissed.

    "Vermaelen was shown a red card for denying an obvious goalscoring opportunity during Arsenal’s match against West Ham United on Saturday 20 March.

    "He will now serve a one match suspension with immediate effect."

    It was a weak red card but the call wasn't out of order.

    Fair enough. We should cope without him for Birmingham.
