Stoke's Ryan Shawcross has slammed Arsene Wenger for 'carrying out a personal vendetta' against him.

The Arsenal boss recently criticised Shawcross for his rough style of play, and accused him and Robert Huth of deliberately injuring Spurs keeper Heurelho Gomes, but the defender has hit back.

Speaking to The Sentinel, he said: 'I don’t mind people having their opinions, but if it’s not a game involving his players then I don’t see the point of bringing up me and Huthy. I’ve watched the video again and at no point did I go anywhere near Gomes.

'I didn’t think I had, but I didn’t want to say I hadn’t touched him before looking at the whole video to make sure.

'He’s obviously got something against me. It’s just weird. He brings my name into it. He always seems to have a problem with Stoke, our manager and certain players. Criticism doesn’t bother me, unless it’s a false accusation like this one.'
