And Costa has been charged with violent conduct, too:

Re: Arsenal Lobby
Mertesacker on Digo Costa
Diego Costa: first he had a go at Koscielny, then Gabriel. What would you have done in this situation?
First of all, he should have been sent off. That’s what should have happened above all. He went far too far and it seems that English referees lack the common sense that’s necessary. The officials certainly didn’t look good in this situation. Having said that, Gabriel can’t let himself be provoked and he should have been walked away from the scene by his team-mates. So we have to take responsibility for the situation, too.

Re: Arsenal Lobby
I am more interested in Mike Dean's punishment than of Gabriel/Costa.
Dean has to rot in League One or something.

Re: Arsenal Lobby
The excellent Swiss Ramble on Arsenal's latest financial results:
http://swissramble.blogspot.ch/2015/09/arsenal-searching-for-hows-and-whys.html
This is the key section, I feel:
http://swissramble.blogspot.ch/2015/09/arsenal-searching-for-hows-and-whys.html
This is the key section, I feel:
Specifically, Arsenal’s huge cash balance is still the talk of the town and has gone up yet again, rising another £20 million in the last 12 months from £208 million to £228 million. Let’s pause to absorb that number: that’s nearly a quarter of a billion.
To place that into context, the next highest cash balances in the Premier League in the 2013/14 season were Manchester United £66 million, Tottenham Hotspur £39 million and Newcastle United £34 million. In fact, Arsenal held 40% of the total cash in the Premier League that season: £208 million against £311 million for all 19 other clubs combined. Manchester United’s 2014/15 balance has increased to £156 million, but this is still £72 million less than Arsenal.
Lord Harris was quick to boast about the club’s financial capacity: “Money was tight when we moved to the Emirates, but it’s a lot freer now. In the accounts, there’s over £200 million in the bank.”
However, he had obviously not received the memo from chief executive Ivan Gazidis, who had previously explained why not all of this cash balance is available to spend on transfers: “It is quite untrue that we are sitting on a huge cash pile for some unspecified reason. The vast majority of that cash is accounted for in various ways.”
In fact, the club is so sensitive on this point that the accounts note that “proper consideration” of the cash balance should make deductions for the £35 million debt service reserve and the net £66 million owed on previous player purchases, which would leave “only” £128 million.
The annoying debt service reserve has been required since the 2006 bond agreements, though it does raise the question of whether these arrangements could be renegotiated given Arsenal’s significantly better financial position today, thus freeing up this £35 million.
It is also true that most season ticket renewals are paid in April and May, so Arsenal’s cash balance will always be at its highest when its annual accounts are prepared, namely 31st May. The club has to pay a good proportion of its annual running expenses out of this cash, though it is equally true that other money will flow into the club during the course of the season, such as TV distributions and merchandise sales.
Despite all of these factors, the truth is that year after year Arsenal’s cash balance has steadily risen: May 2007 £74 million, May 2008 £93 million, May 2009 £100 million, May 2010 £128 million, May 2011 £160 million, May 2012 £154 million, May 2013 £153 million, May 2014 £208 million and May 2015 £228 million.
In other words, there is substantial money available to spend. It’s clearly not as much as the £228 million in the books, but we can say with some conviction that there would be enough available in the January transfer window to safely cover some of the glaring weaknesses in the squad: let’s say £70-80 million (with the usual caveats).

Re: Arsenal Lobby
Gabriel's three game ban rescinded:
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20150922/fa-release-statement-on-gabriel
Didn't expect that.
He is, however, being charged with a separate charge and could still be banned.

Re: Arsenal Lobby
Besides the obviously moronic decisions (or lack there of) from Dean, the one that also got me was that Santi Cazorla has been warned for his behavior by the FA?!?!
He literally committed two fouls and was carded twice. How is that grounds for a warning?
