Gracia gripe at Gunners

WATFORD manager Javi Gracia has poured scorn on Arsenal’s discipline after pictures appeared in a national newspaper of their players appearing to smoke ‘hippy crack’ in a nightclub.

Gracia – whose Watford side face Everton tomorrow – said: “It wouldn’t happen here. My players know the rules – and they are good professionals. I have never come across this before. Never had a player that troubled me. I accept it is not easy. Every day you are with 28 young players, and you always have different problems, but you try to manage. If you put rules in the beginning, they all know after that what happens if you don’t have good behaviour. It depends on the rules they have.”
