Cesc plays down Barcelona talk and insists Arsenal will not be bullied

07 September 2009 16:34
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas has warned the rest of the Barclays Premier League his young side 'will not be bullied by anybody' this season. The Gunners skipper, now recovered from a hamstring problem, an injury which forced him out of both the Champions League qualifier second leg against Celtic and the last domestic game at Manchester United where Arsene Wenger's team lost 2-1 despite dominating most of the match. Despite not being directly involved himself, Fabregas feels the manner of the defeat - by way of a second-half penalty and an own-goal from Abou Diaby after having led 1-0 - will only serve to make Arsenal stronger for the challenges ahead.
