In fact, judging by the number of faces peering from the back of most papers, most people connected with Arsenal are probably heading to their solicitor's offices.

Admittedly, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo have also been charged by the Football Association following the scuffle between Manchester United and Arsenal players on Sunday.

But there is little doubt who the FA see as the culprits, with the London club itself facing a misconduct charge, and it is boss Arsene Wenger who comes in for the most criticism.

THE HEADLINES The Times: Arsenal in FA dock as Wenger puts his players on red alert Daily Telegraph: FA throw the book at Arsenal The Sun: �500k - Gunners face record fine as FA throw book at them Daily Express: Wenger blamed Daily Mail: Gunned down - six Arsenal players charged Daily Star: Nine in the dock - Arsenal charged too Daily Mirror: You mugs - 14 charges for men who shamed football The Guardian: Ban could wreck Arsenal's season The Independent: Arsenal face defensive crisis as six are charged

"Wenger blamed" says the headline on the back of the Daily Express, while Henry Winter in the Daily Telegraph claims "Wenger is responsible".

And in the same paper, poor Alan Smith reveals he is not exactly flavour of the month in the Highbury dressing room after criticising his former club.

"It goes againt the grain somewhat," says the former Arsenal striker.

With so many players charged it is too good an opportunity to pass up the chance of knocking up some police mug shots, with The Guardian and the Daily Mirror sharing the prize for best line-up.

And the bad news just keeps on coming for the Gunners, with the Daily Mail claiming the club may be docked points, and The Sun saying a �500,000 fine is on the cards.

All of which must have left some clubs and managers delighted as a few dodgy results escape the backpage attention they might normally get.

However, a glum Brad Friedel does figure on the back of The Sun and the Daily Star after Blackburn's 3-1 Uefa Cup defeat in Turkey.

One good news story does make it into The Times, which claims Britain's rivals will be "sailing to Athens in fear" after a superb effort at the World Championship regatta.
