Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce keen to end feud with Arsene Wenger

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has said he has huge respect for his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger and was keen to end his long-running feud with the Frenchman. Allardyce, who has not beaten Arsenal since May, 2010 and lost his previous eight matches against Wenger, has a well-documented feud with the Frenchman, which was inspired largely by Wenger's accusation of attempted gamesmanship.
