Fulham boss Lawrie Sanchez has apologised for accusing Arsenal players of diving during the Gunners' 2-1 Premier League victory on Sunday.

Arsenal equalised from the penalty spot after 84 minutes at Emirates Stadium after Kolo Toure was brought down by Carlos Bocanegra.
Sanchez spoke of simulation after the final whistle, questioning the penalty decision after three similar incidents of Gunners players going down in the box had gone unpunished earlier in the game.

But he has now admitted he was wrong to speak out without seeing replays first, and concedes that Arsenal could have been awarded a penalty for a foul on Alexander Hleb in the first half.

"I've got to hold my hands up and say I was wrong to a certain extent," Sanchez told Sky Sports News.

"The incident regarding Hleb was probably a good shout for a penalty.

"My initial instinct as a manager is always to protect my own players so, without seeing the incident, I spoke perhaps a bit too rashly.

"That said, the one for the penalty I've seen them given and I've seen them not given.

"But I was speaking too much with adrenaline. Sometimes you shoot from the hip when you should wait a little bit longer."

At least Sanchez hasn't been repeating his claims across all sectors of the press all week.

Will Colin Hendry be the next one to apologise for his baseless and embarrassing comments after the stonewall penalty decision went against his team in the weekends game?

thought not, nay shame.....

You must lead quite a rubbish life my friend. I've not been here long but all i've noticed is that nearly every post you make is a "get it up yae, ya gypsy c**t" type post.

Bad, bad boy.

Hendry would only accuse me, quite wrongfully, of going down too easily.

You would, my caravan would hardly touch you.

[Mr Roberts]

Why does your sig show Imrie going with studs showing at chest height if he's not a thug?

[Toma_BullyWee]

Because he's clearly fly kicking some dirty Thistle b*****d.

( Or y'know.. he's taking a shot on the volley? )

I'm guessing you ran out of ideas for the last conversation then?

[Mr Roberts]

No, I was just wondering that's all.

So, fly kicking some dirty Thistle b*****d is alright is it?
