Wenger: nothing personal with Fergie

ARSENE WENGER admitted last night that he's a sore loser as he reflected on the missed handshake which may have undermined his relationship with Alex Ferguson.

Wenger was so upset at his side's 1999 FA Cup semi-final replay defeat by United that he forgot to shake hands with Ferguson after the final whistle blew at Villa Park.

It was a moment that the United boss has never forgotten, and added further fuel to their war of words.
