Wenger admits improper conduct
23/11/2006 18:03 - (SA)
London - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has
admitted a charge of improper conduct following a touchline row
during the Premier League match at West Ham United on Nov 5.
West Ham manager Alan Pardew has denied a similar charge in
relation to the same incident, the FA added on its website
(www.thefa.com) on Thursday.
The pair became involved in an ugly altercation after Marlon
Harewood scored late at Upton Park to give West Ham a 1-0 win.
Wenger reacted angrily to Pardew's celebrations in the
technical area and the pair had to be separated by the fourth
official.
Pardew attempted to calm the waters immediately after the
game when he apologised for his over exuberant celebrations.
Wenger eventually said he regretted the spat but added that
he had been provoked by a lack of respect.
Both managers have requested personal hearings, which will
be scheduled in due course.
