I think 2 good quotes have both from Pompey side of things.
"You can get a yellow card for kicking a ball away, and also for knocking another player out cold? What do you have to do to warrant a red card? Commit murder?" - Harry Redknapp - Pompey Manager

"If we were caught doing that to someone on the streets, we'd of been sentenced to jail for 6 months minimal"

Oh, and I forgot to mention, Thatcher has agreed this is a fair punishment.
