Samir: I'll snub Gallas again
SNUB ... Nasri refuses to shake hands with Gallas in November

SAMIR NASRI will once again snub former team-mate William Gallas tonight.

The Arsenal midfielder refused to shake Spurs star Gallas' hand at the Emirates when the bitter North London rivals clashed back in November.

The French duo did not speak for a year as Gunners team-mates and Nasri, 23, has no intention of calling a truce at White Hart Lane this evening.

Nasri said: "Against Tottenham, I refused to shake Gallas' hand. He said to the Press 'It's a pity for him'.

"Next time I will not shake his hand, either. I'm generous with my family and friends but I am spiteful as well. Defenders who give me kicks know that very well."

Problems between the two started after Gallas claimed in his autobiography Nasri was a bad influence at Euro 2008.

SunSport revealed ahead of Tottenham's dramatic 3-2 win at Arsenal back on November 20 - when Harry Redknapp's men came from two goals behind - that Nasri would ignore Gallas.

And this mirrored Wayne Bridge's decision to snub his former team-mate John Terry ahead of Manchester City's clash at Chelsea.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is hoping his team can avoid a repeat of last year's derby disaster at Spurs. Arsenal saw their title hopes disappear with a 2-1 loss and the same will happen tonight if they lose.

Wenger, set to welcome back Bacary Sagna from a knee injury, said: "There is a lot at stake. We have not to go with any fear and wait for Spurs to play. We will try to play our game."
