Wenger blasts the bully boys

Arsene Wenger fully appreciates English football is a man’s game – but he will never accept Arsenal just have to sit back and take rough-house treatment.

Sheffield United captain Chris Morgan was yesterday banned for three games by the Football Association after being found guilty of violent conduct for punching Robin van Persie during his side’s Barclays Premiership victory over the Gunners on December 30 – an incident missed at the time by referee Lee Mason.
