Arsenal striker Ian Wright is to be reported to the FA by police for making
an allegedly obscene gesture during Saturday's defeat by Wimbledon.
"We are taking statements from three members of the public who say they saw
Wright give a V-sign.  "There is also a police witness and a
report will be sent to the FA next week," said a police spokesman.
Wright looks certain to face an FA inquiry with the possibility of a
severe penalty awaiting him as he was fined #1,500 last year after incidents
involving the crowd at Oldham.

England manager Graham Taylor hopes he has found the perfect medicine for
virus victim Paul Ince with the promise of his first full cap. 
The Manchester United midfielder was on the verge of pulling out of Taylor's
decimated squad after suffering during Sunday's 2-0 win over Leeds.
But a telephone call from Taylor's assistant Lawrie McMenemy had Ince and
his Old Trafford teammate Gary Pallister travelling down the M5.
David Batty was the latest squad member to pull out with injury and Taylor will
be anxious Ince can save the day.

Chelsea midfielder Vinny Jones is set for a #700,000 return to Wimbledon.
Stamford Bridge boss Ian Porterfield has confirmed that terms were areed
over the weekend for 27-year-old Jones.  Porterfield said it was now up to Jones
to reach agreement with Dons owner Sam Hammam, who was at a Premier League
meeting in London.  Jones joined Wimbledon from Wealdstone
for #10,000 six seasons ago and won an FA Cup winners' medal with them in 1988
He moved to Leeds in 1989 for #650,000 before joining Sheffield United.

Northamptonshire police have confirmed they reported Hereford United's David
Titterton to referee Brian Coddington for inciting fans to invade the pitch
during the 1-1 draw at Northampton.  Titterton was one of four Hereford
players sent off during Sunday's game.
