Wenger: Metro incident was ‘pathetic’

“It looked pathetic and dreadful. You have to be extremely severe with any incident of that calibre.”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has branded the racist incident on the Paris Metro involving Chelsea supporters as “pathetic”, but accepts the issues raised are “society’s problem”.

Three Chelsea supporters could face life bans from football after being suspended from Stamford Bridge by the Barclays Premier League club as part of the ongoing investigation into the events of Tuesday evening.
