Wenger has issued a retraction of his earlier statement, which was read out on bbc 1's match of the day. He said that he was understandbly upset and said things in the heat of the moment which he did not mean. Having seen the footage and pictures there should be a lengthy ban involved if a takle like this result in a serious injury. I am a Norwich City fan and we were trying to buy Mr Martin earlier in the season. I do not really want him now though. He is going to be reviled in the football world for a fair while.
