He said: 'I do not want to talk too much about that because I haven't seen any replays. During the game, it was very difficult the challenge on Fabregas (by Roger Johnson) and Sagna (by Bowyer). I will watch that again and give you my opinion later.'[LNB]McLeish said that he 'did not see it' when asked about Bowyer's alleged stamp in his post-match press conference.end[LNB] Birmingham 0 Arsenal 3: Sparkling Gunners fire warning to title rivalsBirmingham 0 Arsenal 3 - All the action as it happenedBIRMINGHAM CITY FC
