Arsenal ban Cesc Fabregas from talking about the B-word

Arsenal have banned Cesc Fabregas from speaking about Barcelona.

Fabregas has spoken fondly of his former club in interviews with the Spanish press while always stressing he is happy at Arsenal.

But the Gunners, aware that Barcelona would love to re-sign the midfielder who came to Arsenal in 2003, have stopped Fabregas from mentioning the B-word.

Under new coach Pep Guardiola, Barcelona are playing what many observers believe is the most exciting football in Europe.

While Arsenal can be the most entertaining team in the Premier League, unlike Barcelona they have lost four games and are the outsiders of the Big Four to win the title.

Barca are top of La Liga with nine wins and a draw from 11 games, averaging more than three goals a match.

Arsenal are aware that a fourth season without success would make it more difficult to keep a player wanted by Barcelona who have been rejuvenated by Guardiola's coaching and leadership.
