Samir Nasri continues verbal assault on William Gallas after former Gunner's deflection to Tottenham
Samir Nasri has continued his war of the words with William Gallas by claiming he'd never plunge the depths of the former Arsenal skipper and switch clubs to the 'sworn enemy'.[LNB]Frenchman Nasri was left with little to cheer on Saturday after his astonishing opening goal in the north London derby was overshadowed by a stunning Tottenham comeback and a man of the match performance from his old team-mate Gallas. [LNB]The Arsenal man caused a stir prior to kick-off when he refused to shake hands with his international colleague over a feud dating back to a row on France duty at Euro 2008. The animosity intensified when Gallas wrote in his autobiography about the insolence of an unnamed youngster, now known to be Nasri.[LNB] Not so cheery: Samir Nasri's wonderful opening goal was overshadowed by William Gallas' match-winning performance[LNB]Only once before have players refused to shake hands since the Barclays Premier League introduced the pre-match goodwill gesture, when Wayne Bridge snubbed John Terry after allegations of Terry's affair with Bridge's former girlfriend.[LNB]That day Bridge's Manchester City emerged victorious and the Englishman kept quiet. But after Saturday's shock result at Emirates Nasri couldn't resist another attack on Gallas. [LNB]'There are always ups and downs in life but I have a lot of respect for the way a player stays loyal to his club,' the Arsenal man is quoted as saying in The Sun. [LNB] Old foes: Nasri and Gallas fell out over an incident while on international duty[LNB]'I cannot see myself going and joining the sworn enemy. There are loads of other clubs, other clubs in London. But going to Tottenham? No I cannot see it at all.'[LNB]When told about Nasri's outburst, Gallas, 10 years his senior, retorted: 'Yes, Nasri snubbed me but I think that he's still young, you have to understand him. It's a shame that he reacted this way. Yes, let's just say it's a shame for him.'[LNB] I won't shake hands!
