Former Arsenal manager Terry Neill has criticised Arsene Wenger for his behaviour after his bust-up with West Ham's Alan Pardew yesterday.
Indeed, Neill, who attended yesterday's game, insists Pardew has nothing to apologise for and denies the Hammers boss had taunted Wenger.
"It was understandable that Alan was more than jubilant when Marlon got the later winner," Neill told BBC Radio Five Live.
"He didn't intend any personal slight."
Neill also revealed Pardew went to the Arsenal dressing room to invite Wenger to his office for a conciliatory glass of wine.
But it was Neill who ended up drinking it.
"I did spend a little bit of time after the game with Alan Pardew and he said to me that he had gone to the Arsenal dressing room and tried to make contact with Arsene and invite him down for a glass of wine to his office," Neill said.
"So I had to have Arsene Wenger's glass of wine."
