Oh, behave – Wenger

Arsene Wenger has hit back after he was accused of snubbing Mark Hughes following Arsenal’s loss to Manchester City in the Carling Cup earlier this week. The Frenchman was widely criticised for failing to shake hands with Hughes after the 3-0 drubbing. "I will shake hands when people behave properly but I’m not a slave of the ceremony. I have my freedom," said Wenger on Friday. Wenger refused to be drawn on what Hughes did to provoke him, but was furious at the reaction from fellow managers. "I think sometimes in England you feel that the ceremony is more important than the real thing [the truth]. In this case, I’m the only one to be questioned. I’ve been here thirteen years and nobody wonders why I reacted like that," he added.
