Stoke defender Shawcross not bothered by criticism

Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross is of firm belief that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger does not like him.

The Potters player was involved in a very heavy challenge which badly broke Gunners youngster Aaron Ramsey's leg last season, prompting criticism from Wenger who has also lashed out at Stoke on a few occasions since.

Shawcross admits the Frenchman may not like him but says he is no bothered by negativity.

"He's obviously got something against me. It's just weird," he said.

"He seems to have a problem with Stoke. Criticism doesn't bother me, unless it's a false accusation like this one.

"I don't mind people having their opinions but if it's not a game involving his players, then I don't see the point."
