Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has got on the front foot after his captain Cesc Fabregas was cleared by the Football Association. At half-time of the Gunners' 2-1 win over Everton at the Emirates on Tuesday night, Fabregas questioned whether or not the Toffees had 'paid the referees' after Louis Saha's 25th minute goal was allowed despite the Frenchman clearly being offside.
After the match, Everton boss David Moyes suggested that Fabregas should have been shown a red card for his comments, taking the matter to the FA.
And after Fabregas was cleared, Wenger blasted Moyes for breaking the code.
"I believe that it is wrong for Moyes to come out on what he pretends to have heard in the tunnel," he said. "If I come out with what I have heard in the tunnel is the last 10 years, you would be amazed.
"I think there is a rule in our job to never come out with what is said in the heat of the moment. That usually is respected by everybody.
"You would be amazed with what I have heard in the last 10 years in the tunnels and I never came out with anything.
"You have to understand that if you play football tomorrow with your friends, you go sometimes in at halftime and say something to your friend that you would not be very proud of 24 hours later.
"But it is in the heat of the moment.
"I was with the referee, and if I was not with the referee I would not tell you that he said nothing to the referee," added the Frenchman.
"That's why I'm adamant that he did not talk to the referee at all, unless it was on the pitch. And then I do not see how Moyes can see, can get it.
"And he has not been charged! Why has he not been charged?"
