OSG Prem: Arsenal's Wenger Has Fan Storming In Front Of Him

((HT: ArsenalGunnersTV))

Expect Southampton to get a letter from the FA over this action from one of their fans in the 2-0 win over Arsenal this afternoon


SkySports has the details of the arrest/storming:

The suspect, from Lymington, Hampshire, was still being questioned on Thursday night by Hampshire Constabulary officers.

A Hampshire Police spokesman said: "Police have arrested a 25-year-old man from Lymington following an incident on the pitch at St Mary's at the end of the Southampton versus Arsenal match.

"The man was arrested on suspicion of going in to an area adjacent to the playing area contrary to the Football (Offences) Act 1991.

"The man remains in police custody. Officers are investigating the circumstances to establish whether any criminal offences have been committed."

It's Chippy At The Bridge: Wenger Pushes Mourinho

((HT: Artekker's Vine))

After an Eden Hazard penalty kick that put Chelsea up 1-0 and a near miss by Jack Wilshere to equalize, it's easy to see why tempers are a little short. Apology, no apology...

Failure, not a failure...
All the press conference quotables led to this in a sport where you can't use your hands


When was the last time you saw that...???

The HQ bets: NE-VAH!!!

Here's the long version from NBCSN

OSG Prem: No Apology From Mourinho On Wenger Remarks

((HT: youtube))

With Chelsea and Arsenal going at it this weekend in the Premier League, the press conferences are flying around between Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger and Chelsea's chosen one...

Mourinho is still hot that the Spanish national squad called up Diego Costa, so he has that to worry about in a week's time. But he also is not offering up an apology for these comments late last year from February.


The HQ likes it when they dig at each other overseas and it comes out like that.

Mourinho, for the record, is not backing down from his assessment.

"It was a consequence of something," Mourinho said when asked. "It was not a deliberate first option to say something. I didn't get an apology. I don't apologise."

And don't ever expect one...

Arsenal's Champions League Adventures Continue

((HT: UEFA/Champions League))

First, Arsenal's Aaron Ramsey got a red card in the scoreless draw with Beskitas that means he sits out the second leg at the Emirates...

Not that Demba Ba almost didn't make that whole point moot off the kick-off...


But, just after the match was completed, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claims he was the target of a foreign object- "a bottle or something"- and the team reported the incident to UEFA.

UEFA's disciplinary department will now review the match report before deciding whether to take action as Wenger was not hit by the "bottle or something..."

Arsene Wenger's Presser Doesn't Go Well...

((HT: Goal TV))

Arsenal's loss to Blackburn over the weekend in the FA Cup didn't go over well to anyone on either side of the pond who follow the Gunners. The side was loudly booed as they left the pitch at the Emirates and now it seems to be a match race as to who might be on the chopping block sooner rather than later- manager Arsene Wenger or Manchester City's Roberto Mancini...

Arsenal is getting ready for a matchup against Bayern Munich and people wanted to talk about a variety of topics with Wenger- one uncharacteristically, sent him off...
