Arsene Wenger has taken a swipe at Roberto Mancini saying he has broken the basic rules of football, with his open courting of Samir Nasri. Unfortunately it has become the sign of the times in football and until the authorities and penalise those responsible then it will continue to happen.

In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that include Chelsea looking beyond Modric; Alan Pardew condemns Newcastle fans, while Wesley Sneijder remains United’s priority.
