Arsene Wenger makes jail jibe as the Arsenal boss hits out at his critics after convincing FA Cup victory at Southampton

Arsene Wenger hit out at his critics after this emphatic win, saying some would claim a jail term was ‘too lenient’ for the Arsenal manager.

This was the first match of Wenger’s four-game touchline ban for his dismissal and pushing of fourth official Anthony Taylor in last Sunday’s win against Burnley.

It has been suggested he deserved a stadium ban, but Wenger said: ‘Those who don’t like me, any sentence will be too lenient. They would like to put me in jail somewhere, without anything, in the middle of winter — and that will still be lenient!
