Did an Arsenal fan ban United defender Evra?The Football Association is refusing to comment on claims the official responsible for handing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra a four-game ban is an Arsenal season-ticket holder.
Evra was suspended by an independent four-man panel which investigated his on-pitch scuffle with Chelsea groundstaff following United's trip to Stamford Bridge last May.
The panel was chaired by Nicholas Stewart QC, a regular visitor to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, a revelation that has reportedly infuriated Mr. Ferguson.
The Daily Mail claims the United boss was so angry he wanted to voice his displeasure in his programme notes for Sunday's rematch with Chelsea - the game in which Evra made his comeback - but was persuaded to keep quiet by United chief executive David Gill.
The integrity of Stewart, a specialist in sports law, is not in question but Ferguson, and Gill, are said to be angry the FA felt comfortable leaving the fate of their player in the hands of a known fan of one of their biggest rivals.
The FA, United, and Patrick Stewart have refused to comment.
