Inquries by the FA appear to be the hot-topic in Sunday's backpages.
One of the inquries concerns the comments made by Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson about the supposed 'deal' made by Arsenal and the FA.
The FA, who handed the Gunners a £175,000 fine and four bans for their actions at Old Trafford, are also furious that Ferguson is continuing to complain about the treatment of defender Rio Ferdinand, according to The Mail on Sunday.
The other inquiry concerns the claims made that five current Premiership players have taken cocaine.
The Independent on Sunday says investigations will begin on Monday.

The Sunday Express reckons Leeds striker Mark Viduka will be sold by manager Peter Reid once the January transfer window opens. The pair are reported to have had a bust-up.
Many of the Sunday papers report on Wayne Rooney's comments.
"I'm happy at Everton and when stories about Chelsea appeared, I just started laughing," said the newly-turned 18-year-old.
His statement was made prior to the 1-0 defeat by the Blues.
The People's Andy Dunn writes: "He wasn't chuckling after Adrian Mutu rained on his parade."
Back to the Old Trafford saga, which saw Arsenal's players clash with Manchester United's.
Gunners keeper Jens Lehmann, who gives the News of the World "His First Big Interview", says that three United players tried to hurt him.
However, Lehmann does not remember which trio.
Away from football, and Colin McRae's 60-year-old father is set to compete against his son in next week's Rally GB, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Meanwhile, The People reports that Richard Burns has been asked by his trainer Steve Benton to "put the brakes on any nookie" with the rally driver's girlfriend Zoe Keen during Rally GB.
"It is very tiring and after each day Richard will have to get as much rest as possible and that means no sex for the week."
And last but not least, the final word(s) should go to Kangaroos forward Willie Mason who along with his side face Great Britain in the first Ashes Test next Saturday.
He says in The Observer that Australia need to concentrate on their rugby rather than party while on tour.
"You can't go out on the piss for three days and expect to play Test football," says the forward..
