Arsenal - Video will save Cesc

Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood claims that the club have evidence which will clear Cesc Fabregas of improper conduct. Fabregas was charged with improper conduct by the Football Association on Friday, for his behaviour in the aftermath of the FA Cup fifth-round tie with Hull City.The Spaniard was out injured for the game, but entered the pitch after the final whistle when he was alleged to have spat at Hull assistant manager Brian Horton.The FA has since decided to take action on the issue, judging that the incident was a case of improper conduct on two charges - entering the pitch and the alleged spitting.However, Hill-Wood is confident that the club have taped evidence which will clear Fabregas of any wrongdoing."We have a video of the tunnel which we gave to the FA," the Arsenal chairman told the Daily Star."I didn't see it myself but Arsene (Wenger) has and so has (chief executive) Ivan Gazidis, and they both said that the whole thing was innocuous. I think that the whole thing is ridiculous."SurpriseIndeed, Wenger has also waded in on the issue, with the Arsenal boss insisting that his captain will not be handed a ban once the FA has seen the video, and that the authorities have been prejudiced by the hooded clothing that Fabregas was wearing."I show you the tape, you watch the tape, you will be surprised he is charged. He will not be banned," Wenger declared."Such a big thing has been made of that story that they go further. I know how it works at the FA. I know them for long enough."I believe he has been charged with improper conduct for going on the pitch. Nobody told me you could be charged for that."If he had been wearing a black tie he would not have been charged."The club and player have until 12th May to respond.
