Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger should receive lengthy ban for unacceptable outburst against Burnley

Arsene Wenger should be banned for at least six matches for abusing referee Jon Moss and pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor after his sending off against Burnley.

In a week when the FA raised the issue of respect towards match officials by publishing John Sheridan's disgraceful tirade which resulted in a five-match ban, they now have the opportunity to reinforce their support at all levels by correctly dealing with the Premier League's longest-serving manager.

Wenger's outburst can only be explained by the pressure he is under. The incident which caused his meltdown was as obvious a penalty as you could wish to see.
