FERGIE TURNS UP THE HEAT ON ARSENAL

Last updated : 22 April 2003 By Editor
As the row over the elbow incident rumbles on, Fergie
responds to Wenger and Vieira’s comments over the weekend.

“The thing that angers me most is that all of a sudden, Ole
Gunnar Solskjaer is a villain. The Arsenal players are
attacking him verbally and Thierry Henry apparently had a
punch at him. I can't believe that reaction.

"They should be looking at their own players before turning
on ours because the very least you can say is that Sol was
silly. It was quite clear on television that he has looked
round to see where Ole is and has hit him with his elbow.

"Ole is one of the best professionals in the game. He is
respected by everyone yet I haven't heard one word from
Highbury saying 'how is your player? He could have had a
broken nose, he could have had a black eye, he could have
had a broken jaw, yet there is all this defence of Sol
Campbell. I find it amazing."
