Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is in hot water with the FA again after being charged with improper conduct over his actions at half-time of the 2-2 draw with Portsmouth.
Wenger was fined £10,000 last week for his touchline spat with former West Ham boss Alan Pardew and now faces further action after being sent to the stands by referee Steve Bennett for the second half against Pompey.
The Frenchman had complained about a free-kick awarded against Gael Clichy that led to Portsmouth's first goal.
The Gunners boss had commented after the game: "I complained because I didn't feel it was a free-kick, but I didn't use any bad language.
"It didn't disturb me too much and I don't expect to be banned. Do you want me sent to jail?
"I complained in the tunnel at half-time to the referee and he sent me off.
"I do not remember being sent off before, but I went and sat in the stands where the assistant referee told me to go in the second half."
