Chris Sutton demands FA give Arsene Wenger 12 match ban for Arsenal shove
THE FA should have given Arsene Wenger a 12-game stadium ban for pushing a fourth official, claims Chris Sutton.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been given a four-game touchline ban for his behaviour in the 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend.
He was also fined £25,000 after verbally abusing and pushing fourth official Anthony Taylor following his red card.
Wenger will be in the stands at St Mary’s today as Arsenal face Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round.
But former Chelsea and Celtic striker Sutton believes the manager shouldn’t be at the game.
“Twelve games. They should chuck the book at him,” Sherwood said on BT Sport.
“What was different between that and what Di Canio did?”

Sutton was referencing Paulo Di Canio’s 11-game ban for shoving a referee when playing for Sheffield Wednesday against Arenal back in 1998.
“You have to set a precedent.
“It is unacceptable if a manager only gets four games.
“It could happen again.”
