Shaun Wright-Phillips deserves a three-match ban for his behaviour at Stoke last weekend. The Manchester Citywinger escaped any punishment from the referee for kicking out at Rory Delap - who was sent off in the game and has been charged with violent conduct. Take that: Wright-Phillips has a dig at DelapAn apparently similar incident later in the game hasn't been cited but was just as bad. More from Hatchet Man.

As a tricky wide player, Wright-Phillips may take more than his fair share of punishment but that is no excuse.
