Dein claims Man Utd feud is over
Arsenal chief David Dein has repeated his claim that the antagonism
between his club and Manchester United is over.
On Sunday, Dein spoke with United chief David Gill for the second
time since the stormy match on 24 October.
"We have spoken (again) at the highest level and agree the matter is
closed," Dein told the Evening Standard.
But Dein's hopes of ending the feud appear to have been damaged by
United's call for Dennis Bergkamp to face a Football Association
investigation.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson claims Bergkamp lashed out at Alan Smith
during United's 2-0 victory.
And Ferguson also alleges that Gunners striker Thierry Henry struck
United defender Gabriel Heinze.
But neither is likely to face charges because FA rules state evidence
must be submitted 48 hours after a game.
The time scale is only adjusted in exceptional circumstance, such as
a police investigation.
Dein met with Gill last week in an attempt to end the war of words
being conducted through the media, but relevations and accusations
continued to emerge.
United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy was charged by the FA for a dangerous
challenge on Ashley Cole in the Red Devils' 2-0 win, which ended the
Gunners' 49-match unbeaten run.
I think the FA should tell Ferguson to get his own house in order
before he complains about players from other teams
The Dutch striker subsequently accepted a three-game ban for the incident.
Ferguson has responded by putting together a collection of video evidence
featuring what he believes are fouls by Arsenal players which he claims
should be punished.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has insisted he will not get tangled up in
further repercussions from the match at Old Trafford.
"We are finished with it. I can only be responsible for what I say and
not for what other people say," he said.
The striker protested his innocence - and referee Mike Riley deemed the
collision accidental.
Arsene Wenger's men had the book thrown at them in the same fixture last
season when a fracas was sparked by Martin Keown, an Arsenal player at
the time, jumping on Van Nistelrooy in aggressive jubilation when he
missed a late penalty.
