The reason Wenger refused a handshake with Mark Hughes

What no hand signals?

By Sammy Mooner

Rather than giving Mark Hughes the finger, a Churchill salute or headbutting him Arsene Wenger chose not to shake hands at the end of the game with Manchester City. A wise course to take I'd have thought, given Wenger's mood at the time and what had gone on before.

Blue ****, you saw me standing alone…

Quite clearly there was an incident for all to see in the game when Hughes intruded into Arsene's technical area and called the Frenchman a 'f***ing w***er'. Now if that was myself that Hughes had spoken to an instant knee in the groin would have possibly have been my first thought, maybe a Harringay kiss or whatever.

I certainly wouldn't have just shrugged off the tosser, nor I imagine would many others. Le Boss chose to express himself in another manner. So here's the question: If a known thug ponced up in a smart suit called you a 'f***ing w***er' would you shake hands with the **** at the end of a game?

No, me neither. Arsene was too polite to tell it like it was in the post-match press conference so I'll say it for him. Mark Hughes has always been and will always be one of the lower life forms.
