Arsenal midfielder Gilberto has revealed that manager Arsène Wenger did not speak to any of his players after the match against West Ham.

The Brazillian World Cup said that the players understood that Wenger wasn't angry with them, but at West Ham manager Alan Pardew.

Gilberto: "There were no problems between Mr Wenger and the players because the problem didn't involve the players.

"But the situation left us scared.

"We know the manager and we know that he is very polite and calm. Something very bad had happened to make him react like he did.

"After the game, Mr Wenger didn't talk to anyone. As it wasn't a problem involving the players, he decided not to discuss it with us.

"I have seen it on TV many times and when West Ham scored, Pardew came to our bench to celebrate, but in a offensive way.

"That made Wenger react like he did, and that is why he had to talk to Pardew about that celebration.

"He was p****d off about the way Pardew celebrated and, as I said, that was the reason he reacted that way.

"As I saw it on TV, Pardew said some words that he, as a manager, should have thought about before saying.

"He should have showed a little more respect. Of course, he could celebrate the goal, but not in the offensive way he did.

"That is what made Wenger react."
