How can he say anything about dodgy deals

Sir Alex Ferguson believes Arsenal will be "delighted" with their punishment for the bust-up at Old Trafford in September and claimed there were suspicions that a deal had been done with the Football Association.

On Thursday, Arsenal were given a £175,000 fine and had four players banned for a total of nine matches at a disciplinary hearing, but Manchester United boss Ferguson reckons they got off lightly.

Asked if he thought the punishment was fair, Ferguson said: "I wouldn't agree with that, I think Arsenal will be delighted with the decision, that's without question. I read this morning they did a deal before they went in there and I think that was the suspicion right throughout the country that a deal was being done. It's disappointing to read that kind of thing."

The bans are a blessing in disguise.

When Lauren is banned for 4 matches and Volz comes in to replace him Arsenals defence will look stronger.

Volz is on loan at Fulham isn't he?

BBC website says that he has a recall clause in the contract.

Watched the Leeds match the other day Jay, your lot have some good youngsters. Eagles etc.

Lol, the guy is a total prick.

Look at the bans, they are more than fair. Its a non-starter.

He is just saying this to try and get his druggie CB of the hook.
