    Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has been served with a three-match ban after admitting a charge of violent conduct on Wednesday.


    The Ivory Coast international was charged after lashing out at Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer with his elbow in Sunday's 1-0 win at Highbury.
    Toure has since decided not to contest the charge and will therefore miss this weekend's FA Cup fourth round tie against Wolves.
    The defender will also miss Arsenal's Premiership clashes against Manchester United and Aston Villa during the ban.
    "Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has admitted a charge of violent conduct," read a statement on The FA's official website.
    "The associated automatic three-match suspension will therefore start with immediate effect.
    "The charge related to an incident involving Newcastle's Alan Shearer during the match at Highbury on January 23."

    Justice done.

    Of course dear Alan Who Should Have Joined A Right Club Shearer is an angel....raise his elbows when jumping... would he ever!!!! ;)

    Ah go on Jank tell us about Rio ;)

    In fairness Toure probably got about ten times the dose he dished out to Shearer from Shearer before and after the incident, BUT, it was violent conduct, shame that the Video panel don't be more consistent.!
