Wenger fumes over Allardyce pre-match wind-up

ARSENE WENGER responded to Sam Allardyce’s latest attempt to wind him up by calling on the FA to clamp down on managers who deliberately ignite tensions before games.

Wenger, whose Arsenal side visit Bolton this evening, insisted he could understand how some managers spoke out in the heat of the moment following matches.

But he took exception to the likes of Allardyce, who had revealed that "if we can intimidate Arsenal in any shape or form, that is great as long as we work and play within the rules."
