To Replay, Or Not To Replay...

Ken Bates claimed yesterday that the row was over and that the match was not going to be replayed. Bates said, "The Premier League have dismissed the complaint out of hand and there will be no replay.

"The fact is we staged the game on a good playing surface. We had a lot of respect for that club [Charlton]. But respect has to be earned and I don't think it has done their reputation any good by carrying on the way they did after the game."

But the Premier League have denied that the Blues have been cleared, and insist that no decision has been made as yet.

So when will this whole debacle end? To be honest, I don't even think the Premier League know when...
