Wenger confirms Arsenal compiling evidence against FA

It's not just fevered speculation anymore. Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger has confirmed that the club are compiling a tape of evidence that will eventually go to the Football Association.

The video evidence is set to showcase evidence to back up Wenger's claims that his young guns get rough justice from the game's authorities.

Wenger said: "People might think I am paranoid but I'm not. I am never scared to say what I think and even if people are not happy with that I am capable of defending what I say.

"I don't want to speak of that today but you will soon know more about it, don't worry.

"I will not hide from that situation."

Wenger is still furious with Morten Gamst Pedersen's challenge on Emmanuel Eboue in last week's FA Cup fifth-round defeat at Blackburn.

He said: "No, I wasn't happy with that. But then the guy who injured Abou Diaby last season got away with it as well.

"If you look at the statistics, there is only one team in this league who has made less than 300 fouls this season."

Drogba, Essien, Ronaldo, Giggs, Keane, Rooney, Diouf,.... the list goes on.

Every club could do similar to this, Arsenal have got away with many, MANY fouls this season, let alone all the dives that have gone unpunished, perhaps someone ought to compile a video of fouls and examples of cheating that Arsenal have got away with in the last season?

Our players should definitely be given much more protection. They have been injured all the time of the season.
