Arsene loves Alex

Arsene Wenger watched his side come from behind once again to steal a three-point start and claimed: "This has changed our season already".
A comic cuts howler by Jens Lehmann to gift David Healy a first-minute opener was turned on its head when Robin van Persie's penalty with eight minutes to go was followed by Alex Hleb's late winner.
And even just 90 minutes into the new campaign, Wenger insisted this could prove to be one of the defining moments of Arsenal's season. Wenger said: "This was the kind of result that changes a team and a season."We had our backs to the wall, didn't give up and managed to win the game and it is the sort of result that can change a season for a team because it gives you momentum and belief.
"I remember in our unbeaten season, we had draws at West Ham and Manchester United at the start of the season that made a big difference to us and it helped give us belief that we could do it at the end of the season.
"You can't measure the part psychology plays in a team but it is important. Of course it's early and that real belief doesn't come until you have played 25 games and then feel you must never give up.
"But if we'd lost it would have been a big blow for the team, because everybody would have been talking about the loss of Thierry Henry."
While Wenger was delighted at the "resilience and mental strength" of his team, Fulham chief Lawrie Sanchez castigated referee Phil Dowd and accused Hleb of being a serial diver through the game.
Sanchez said: "I was at the same meeting as Arsene with Keith Hackett, the referees' chief, on Tuesday, when we were told that simulation was going to be the big no-no and that people were going to be booked for it.
"I don't know if the penalty was one but in the first half there were three blatant simulations that went unpunished and that gives people the incentive to go down.
"If Phil Dowd had booked somebody and threatened bookings people wouldn't be so ready to go down in the box. We know we should have got something from the game."
Wenger, though, hit back, pointing to television evidence of Hleb's first tumble under a challenge from Chris Baird. "Alex is adamant there was a 100 per cent penalty on that," said the Arsenal manager.
"If you take the managers, one will say it's a penalty, the other will say it's simulation.
"I am against simulation but I don't think it was. Why should Alex Hleb go down in that situation?
"The only way to cut it out is to allow people to receive red cards after a game and the FA should be allowed to do that.
"But in this case, I deny that we have simulated."
