Premiership managers unimpressed by behaviour of Arsenal boss Wenger

Premiership rivals were unimpressed by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger's decision to snub Mark Hughes' handshake at the end of their Carling Cup defeat to Manchester City.

The 60-year-old has also been criticised for failing to shake hands with City counterpart Hughes after Wednesday's defeat at Eastlands.

"Whether I like or dislike someone, you have a responsibility to show the right spirit of the game," said Stoke boss Tony Pulis.

Bolton manager Gary Megson added: "In my view you can do whatever you want, say whatever you like during the game, but after the game you should shake hands, even if you don't particularly mean it.

"You should shake hands because people are watching and will draw their own conclusions if you don't.

"I don't think that is particularly good on Arsene's part and I think he has done it before."

everybody wants to shake wenger hands, why? Is it complusory? I mean, hell with the sportmanship thing. Put yourself in wenger position. His team just lost 3-0, and the opposition manager just went to his space, his territory. He had every right to be pissed. I, myself, would be shaking anybody's hand if i lose the game. Call me a bad loser, but i don't feel it bring much justice.
