West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has criticised Tottenham Hotspur boss Andre Villas-Boas for hitting out at the media.
The Portuguese coach singled out Daily Mail journalist Neil Ashton yesterday by claiming that the reporter 'attacked' his integrity.
"You can't do it," Allardyce told talkSPORT. "You've got to take it on the chin. You have to use the criticism as a motivational drive to show these people that they are wrong.
"You, and your players, have got to do your talking on the field. I think he's just showed a little bit of immaturity.
"It can get under your skin, but you can't let that happen because you're not going to win."
Villas-Boas's spat came after his side drew 2-2 with Manchester United.
