Breaking: Arsene Wenger Charged By FA

Word is coming from the Football Association that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be charged by the FA with using insulting and/or abusive language and improper conduct following Saturday's 1-1 draw at Sunderland.

Wenger argued with Martin Atinkson, the fourth official, about the amount of added time that was allotted, as Sunderland scored their equalizing goal in the 95th minute, after only four minutes of added time was indicated (that four is, of course, a minimum.)

Wenger has until Thursday to respond to the charge. The result will be a fine of £8,000, plus a touchline ban of one match.

More information coming, as we learn it; plus, our preview of tomorrow's Carling Cup tie is coming later this afternoon.
