04/24/2009 - London, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has been charged with two counts of improper conduct following the spitting storm which overshadowed last month's FA Cup clash with Hull City.
Fabregas was not part of the Gunners side which won a quarterfinal encounter 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium on March 17.
However, his conduct after the final whistle when he entered the field of play and was alleged by the Hull management team to have spat in their direction, led to an investigation by the Football Association.
Tigers boss Phil Brown claimed the Spain midfielder spat at his number two, Brian Horton, and called on the FA to take action.
Brown has also been charged with improper conduct following comments he made after the game concerning referee Mike Riley.
"Fabregas faces two charges of improper conduct relating to his conduct on the pitch following the game," confirmed an FA statement. "One charge concerns his behaviour in coming onto the pitch after the final whistle, the second charge relates to an alleged spitting incident. The charges are based on submissions from Hull City and video evidence.
"Brown is charged with improper conduct and/or bringing the game into disrepute in relation to media comments made after the game concerning referee Mike Riley. Fabregas and Brown have until May 12 to respond."
Meanwhile, a bemused Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has revealed his surprise that his skipper is facing any disciplinary action over the incident.
Fabregas could face a domestic ban if found guilty of the improper conduct charges.
"I personally looked at the reports, at the video evidence and there is nothing in there against Cesc," claimed Wenger. "I don't know if we will appeal. I will see what we can do about that.
"At the start, I am not a great fan of appealing because I said we are very open to co-operate and now I don't think we should stop that. I am very positive that there was enough evidence in what I have seen that the case should have been dropped."

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
