   I am so disappointed with Arsene Wenger. Both Arsenal and Man Utd play divine football sometimes and coming from a post Jari Litmanen Liverpool fan, that remarks comes hard. Sir Alec and Arsene ought to be proud but in these two amongst others in football, we get the best and worse of the so called "beautiful game". Beautiful sometimes on the pitch but on and off the pitch ugly and reprehensible because of unguarded and petulant remarks by football managers and players.

   So this morning, we hear Arsene Wenger speak to his teams fans. Was he being intelligently reflective on his team being dumped out of the FA Cup, which he could do with ease and grace thus allowing the victorious team their due?

   No. Instead we have a complaint about old news and accusations of lies in the recent match against Chelsea.

   Gracelessness is endemic in football at the moment and its lead comes from managers who all know better.

   I really miss the modest Brian Clough and amuse myself in wondering how manty players he would have left to play the Saturday match if everyone behave like they do today under him.

   Pougatch, your interview with Perry Groves showed your Arsenal bias once and for all.

   Coupled with your disgraceful jokes about missiles being thrown onto the pitch with Alan Green, you have been shown for what you are.

   My first post and Mark Maynard's following one. Gracefulness is seemingly never learnt. Confrontation is all. Football managers all - please note.

   I rest my case.

   We bought a nearly new car July 2005, we had to pick the car up from the dealership, a journey from the Midlands back to Suffolk.
   As a result we had to fill up when we arrived back home. We stopped at a Sainsburys near ours and filled the tank. 8 days later the car finally died! Our local vauxhall dealer said it was fuel contamination, but how the car ran for 8 days was anybodys guess. At the time dealerships in the area were indicating that they had quite a few cars with similar problems. We had to have our car tank cleaned and serviced and we were also told that this incident invalidated the warranty that we still had on the car for certain parts of the engine that were affected. We didn't pursue with a claim via Trading Standards/Small Claims Court as we had to pay for the car to be put right and there was no guarantee that we would get any compensation from Sainsburys.
   We have since found out that with diesel in particular when the large tankers fill up the stations it stirs up alot of sediment in the foreourt tanks, this can cause many problems for diesel cars. Advice is that if you see a tanker on the forecourt, fill up else where!

   I filled up my car at Morrisons and got a puncture in my left rear. My neighbour also filled up at Tesco and his exhaust developed a mysterious rattle. Do you think these incidents are related to the fuel or are they the result of chance? Hundreds of motorists with faulty cars need to know if they can get them fixed on the cheap.

   Before Christmas I filled up with unleaded in Tesco at Exmouth, Devon and my car started to kangeroo and lose exceleration. I took it to the garage and mentioned that I had filled up and since then it had done this. They said that it would more than likely NOT be this and made some repairs to the car. After Christmas I filled up with unleaded at Tesco in Exmouth and it did it again. I returned to the garage and said I had done this but they said it was probably the same problem as before and they would refit new parts rather than second hand. I am convinced it was the petrol and hearing your programme this morning has confirmed my suspision. What can I do to compensate the repairs I have had done?

   Re comment no.4 1st March.
   I also have a diesel vehicle which has been identified as suffering fuel contamination by Vauxhall. However, Tesco refuse to accept liability and have 'welcomed' the opportunity to see me in court. My diesel smells like paraffin and was purchased from Tesco, Cardington Rd, Bedford in early March. Talking to Vauxhall it would appear that a number of diesel vehicles have been affected by Tesco diesel. I would urge all persons affected by Tesco diesel to make representation to them and the media to 'encourage' them to own up.
