Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger does not expect to be punished by the
Football Association despite being sent to the stands in Saturday's
2-2 draw with Portsmouth.
The Frenchman was fined £10,000 for his November touchline
altercation with former West Ham boss Alan Pardew only last
week.
But Wenger doesn't believe his actions at the Emirates Stadium -
when referee Steve Bennett failed to award Gael Clichy a free-kick
for a perceived foul in the first half - will result in further
action.
"I complained because I didn't feel it was a free-kick but I didn't
use any bad language," he said.
"It didn't disturb me too much and I don't expect to be banned. Do
you want me sent to jail?"
On the match where the Gunners fought back from two goals down, he
added: "I have had some disappointing draws this season but this
was not one of them.
"Portsmouth began the game quicker and better than we did, but I
was pleased with the way my players came back.
"At half-time I told them to play higher up the pitch and to raise
the tempo. I know we conceded another goal soon after half-time,
but I felt we were playing much better.
"I was pleased with the way my players responded. I have had many
teams in my career, but I don't know of many who would have shown
the determination and come back the way that this young team
did."
