Arsenal Manager Charged Over Post-United Comments

　　英足总最近作出决定处罚阿森纳队主教练温格，原因是温格在阿森纳队负于曼联队之后对裁判和英足总发表了不恰当的评论。同时有迹象表明，英足总已无意再追究两队赛后在更衣室过道中发生的纠纷。

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following comments he made after the Gunners' defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

United's 2-0 win last weekend ended champions Arsenal's English top flight record of 49 league games but also sparked a host of disciplinary issues. Wenger was highly critical of referee Mike Riley, whose penalty award to United after Wayne Rooney went down under a minimal challenge from Sol Campbell saw Ruud van Nistelrooy score from the spot in the 73rd minute. Wenger also made scathing comments about United striker van Nistelrooy who himself was banned for three games for an ugly tackle on Ashley Cole. The Frenchman's comments and an incident in the tunnel which led to United manager Alex Ferguson being hit with food thrown by an Arsenal player were subjects of FA investigations. No further disciplinary action is expected following the FA's investigation of the alleged tunnel incident, although both clubs have been invited to attend a peace meeting. The FA are determined to clear the air following the controversial Old Trafford clash on October 24, which itself followed the ugly melee in the same fixture last season.
