After the club's recent spate of red and yellow cards, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger could look to Saudi Arabia for some disciplinary tips. Prince Sultan ibn Fahd, general president of Youth Welfare and the president of Saudi football, has decided that players must not have long hair or wear necklaces or bracelets.

In a match between Al-Naser and Al-Hilal last week, the referee forced an Al-Naser player, Hadi Sharifee, to get his hair cut at the halftime break. Although a little late for the second half, Hadi reappeared suitably coiffured.
