Everybody has character and when somebody touches some part of your body, you react and that happened on the pitch.[LNB]'When the opponent is just making fouls and stopping us play football, everybody reacts, it is a natural thing for a footballer.[LNB] Get a grip: Nasri and Hunt (right) clash at the Emirates Stadium [LNB]'There were two or three players that tried to disturb our game and stay between us and try to stop us playing our best football. It is OK, if they don't know how to play football it is not our problem.[LNB]'When it is not all the team, but one or two players who are very nasty, you react. I did it sometimes in the game with Hunt. [LNB]'This is football. I don't have anything against him but it is not nice to play against these kinds of players.'[LNB] Arsenal target Marouane Chamakh tells his suitors: You'll have to wait until the summer to sign meArsenal 3 Hull City 0: Bad blood continues in another x-rated clashJamie Redknapp's Weekend Watch: Jittery big four, poor Mark HughesDutch fight Arsenal over compensation for Van Persie injuryHULL CITY FC
