Arsene Wenger may appeal after he was given a one-match touchline ban and £9,500 fine by those tossers at UEFA. AW was handed the punishment for his comments about idiot referee Massimo Busacca after the our Champions League exit in Barcelona.
The boss said Busacca’s decision to send off RVP for a second bookable offence (when he shot after the whistle) had wrecked our chances in the Nou Camp. Then he accused EUFA of running a “dictatorship”. Meanwhile, Samir Nasri was slapped with a one-match suspension for inappropriate language.  AW said: “I expected to be punished, because they will only call a hearing like that to punish people – it’s like when you are caught by a policeman. I find it very strange that you are not allowed a personal hearing, because I would have some interesting things to say.
“I would love to say what I want to say. This is one of the very few times I’ve been punished when I feel I don’t deserve it, because I don’t feel I did anything wrong. I have no chance to speak my mind and I will have to accept it, but frankly I don’t feel wrong – and you don’t feel at ease if you know you have done something wrong.
“This time I am quite relaxed, I don’t even listen to what they have to say because I know what I’ve done and what I’ve said. I don’t feel, in this story, I will have to be the one to be punished.”
Meanwhile, we are set to postpone the summer tour of Japan but
AW has confirmed we may still go to Tpkyo and play a fund-raising charity game. He said: “It can affect our plans to go there. We were supposed to go to Japan, but I am personally not sure that will happen now. We don’t know what we will do. We might go to a different country or we might even go to Japan for a charity game, we don’t know yet.
“They have put the whole championship on old. The immensity of the disaster will be will so big that, knowing Japan, the whole country will be focused to get that right again and put money into that and rebuild. Cities have completely disappeared and no one knows what is happening, even the Japanese government.”
Finally we are supposed to be tracking Charlton’s 19-year-old right back Carl Jenkinson, who has represented England at youth level and Finland Under-19s.
West Brom tomorrow…who’s having it?
