Mathieu Flamini has agreed to respect Arsenal's long-running shirt tradition after getting his knuckles rapped over "sleevegate."

Flamini upset the north Londoners' traditionalists - and manager Arsene Wenger - by cutting off the sleeves of his long-sleeved shirt for Tuesday's match against Marseille.

That upset a tradition which dates back to legendary manager Herbert Chapman's days in the 1930s, where every player wears the same style shirt as their captain.

Midfielder Flamini even had words with kit-man Vik Akers after doing the same at Manchester United earlier this month.

Nicklas Bendtner claims his next move will be 'Real Madrid or Barcelona'

Is this delusions of grandeur from the Gunners' Danish striker?

One of Arsenal’s two target men has said he could leave the club to join Real Madrid or Barcelona – and it is not Olivier Giroud.

Nicklas Bendtner, the Gunners’ misfiring Danish striker, who has been out on loan for the past two seasons and came to close to agreeing a transfer to Crystal Palace during the summer, said he could envisage his next move being to one of the La Liga giants.
The 25-year-old striker, who has previously been quoted as harbouring ambitions to lead the line at Barca, was quoted in Danish daily newspaper Politiken as responding with “Real Madrid or Barcelona”  when asked where he saw his next move.
With Bendtner conceding he will have to leave Arsenal to get regular playing time – he has started two matches for the Gunners this season, both coming in the League Cup – the striker also says playing is more important than money.

FLAMINI PLUS OZIL EQUALS TITLE CONTENTION
Mesut Ozil is a morale booster, for sure. But a game-changer? Well, that tag belongs to Mathieu Flamini. It'll be the Frenchman who'll be winning and feeding the ball to Ozil, cajoling and driving his teammates. Flamini will do everything the Gunners midfield has missed since he left three years ago. Unlike Ozil, Flamini offers something completely different to what is available to Arsene Wenger - and cost Arsenal £42.7 million less. Yes, Ozil does have Arsenal fans buzzing and will lift the locker room. But without Flamini, he'd be a very expensive luxury. With the Gunners' new ball-winner, the combination is a definite game-changer for Wenger and Arsenal.
