when sunderland manager gus poyet lost his temper and took out his anger on a cooler box before picking a fight with hull city boss steve bruce, it brought back memories of many a touchline scrap the technical area of the kc stadium seems to have a way of bringing out the worst in managers   only last year alan pardew attempted a headbutt on hull's david meyler so, with tuesday night's flare up in mind, sportsmail looks back at our top 10 technical area spats hull boss steve bruce and sunderland's gus poyet played down their spat and have now shaken hands  bruce is held back by the assistant referee during his clash with poyet on the touchline  things turned sour when bruce and poyet began a slanging match and had to be pulled apart  as the pair locked horns bruce makes sure he gets his point across by bellowing in poyet's direction  alan pardew swears at manuel pellegrini, january 11, 2014  the sight of a 52 year old man calling a 60 year old a 'f***ing old c***' seemed to shock many   and pardew later apologised for his 'heat of the moment' outburst a newcastle goal disallowed for offside while pellegrini's manchester city were 1 0 up prompted the row between the two bosses and as the fourth official looked to separate them pardew had a pop at his opposite number the fa 'reminded him of his responsibilites'   a bit of a let off for the man now in charge of crystal palace alan pardew (centre) and manuel pellegrini clashed over a disallowed goal back in 2014  martin jol and arsene wenger let off steam, april 22, 2006  for such a usually mild mannered man, wenger does seem to get into his fair share of rows with other managers   and on this occasion it was tottenham's martin jol jol's side refused to put the ball out in the build up to robbie keane scoring an opening goal at highbury while arsenal had a man down this infuriated wenger, who was challenged on his views by jol they were separated by the fourth official but wenger still had to go back for one last pop at jol   and he perhaps had the last laugh with arsenal equalising and eventually pipping spurs to fourth place in the premier league by two points arsene wenger (left) and martin jol had a disagreement over putting the ball out of play for an injury  jose mourinho vs arsene wenger, october 5, 2014  these two have history dating back 11 years, and they still don't seem to get on to this day mourinho's arrival in the premier league back in 2004, when wenger's arsenal were champions, heralded the end of the north london club's annual title hopes   and mourinho certainly has a way of getting under his opposite number's skin just over 12 months after his return to the premier league in 2013 and he was winding up wenger again the frenchman took exception to gary cahill's challenge on alexis sanchez in a 2 0 chelsea win at stamford bridge and stepped into mourinho's allocated area some verbals from the special one saw the pair come face to face before wenger pushed the blues boss in the chest he later said he had 'nothing to apologise for' wenger pushes chelsea manager jose mourinho during chelsea's clash with arsenal this season  mourinho was furious with wenger's behaviour and even brings up the lack of punishment to this day  the pair have history and have consistently rowed since mourinho arrived in england back in 2004  kenny dalglish tells arsene wenger to 'f*** off', april 17, 2011  the third of a wenger trio of incidents   but on this occasion he was remarkably restrained arsenal looked to have kept their title hopes alive at the emirates stadium with a robin van persie penalty eight minutes into stoppage time but dirk kuyt kept his cool to slot in a 102nd minute spot kick to level things and effectively hand the title to manchester united liverpool manager dalglish wasn't too happy with wenger's touchline protests and at the whistle after kuyt converted he approached the arsenal boss with his arms outstretched and shouted 'it's a penalty, p*** off!' before adding 'it's a penalty, f*** off!' it's fair to say he got his point across david moyes takes on roberto mancini, march 25, 2010  moyes was criticised for his lack of results against big clubs but on this occasion his everton side managed a win at the etihad stadium   and wound up his opposite number at the same time both managers were sent off following a physical confrontation with mancini trying to barge moyes out of the way and then seeing the scot square up to him they were escorted down the tunnel by police such was the animosity however, the pair shook hands after being told they had to share a lift to watch the rest of the game from the upper tier awkward roberto mancini pushes david moyes during their spells as manchester city and everton managers  referee peter walton saw the stoppage time clash worthy of sending both managers to the stands  ally mccoist and neil lennon square up, march 2, 2011  old firm clashes always tend to be heated occasions, whether in the stands or on the field, but mccoist and lennon extended the rowing into the technical area back in 2011 three red cards, 13 cautions and 34 arrests at celtic park told the story of the afternoon and mccoist angered the home dugout with something he said at the final whistle the two squared up and pushed each other before being pulled apart mccoist got a two match ban for his troubles while lennon's previous record saw him take a four game suspension, but the northern irishman would have been the happier after a 1 0 win neil lennon makes his point clear to rangers assistant manager ally mccoist on the celtic park touchline  nigel pearson's grip on james mcarthur, february 7, 2015  even a month on, nobody really seems to understand what was going through pearson's head on the touchline at the king power stadium what started out as a jokey exchange suddenly became more sinister as the leicester boss seemed to pin down the crystal palace midfielder by the throat as he looked to resume play with a throw in the fact that pearson had failed in a bid to sign mcarthur a few months back added to the confusion pearson appeared to grab mcarthur around the throat and the floored player was seen mouthing 'get off me' things got even more strange in the aftermath when pearson dismissed the incident as 'light hearted' and told journalists that he could 'look after himself' and then seemed close to the sack before eventually keeping his job nigel pearson clashed with james mcarthur when leicester hosted crystal palace last month  leicester city boss pearson (left) appears to put his hands towards the neck of  mcarthur in february  jose mourinho's gouge on tito vilanova, august 17, 2011  it's a rare occasion that the special one admits he was in the wrong, but he did here, which gives you an idea of how shameful his actions were towards pep guardiola's then assistant during a familiar spanish super cup el clasico clash, mourinho stole up behind vilanova while a touchline row was already going on and jabbed a finger into his eye vilanova shoved back and both were handed bans 'i should not have done what i did, obviously not,' mourinho later said 'the person who messed up there was me' joe jordan rows with gennaro gattuso, february 16, 2011  recognised as two hard nuts of the game, not many people were keen to get between gattuso and jordan as they rowed at the san siro having been beaten by tottenham at home in the champions league, gattuso seemed to want to distract from the defeat by picking on the spurs bench a fierce full time shouting match between the two ended with the italian grabbing the spurs man by the throat before aiming a headbutt at him gattuso got a four match ban, but given jordan's record as a player he was probably lucky harry redknapp's no 2 didn't have a go back   and the tottenham manager admitted as much joe jordan and gennaro gattuso come close after tottenham's win over ac milan in the san siro  gattuso grabs tottenham's assistant by the throat as spurs manager harry redknapp tries to seperate them  alan pardew headbutts david meyler, march 1, 2014  pardew, then newcastle united boss, was sent to the stands after headbutting hull city's david meyler at the kc stadium with the magpies 3 1 up, meyler shoved past pardew as he went to retrieve the ball for a throw in   and the newcastle boss was unimpressed, coming together with the hull player and pushing his head into his face he received a £100,000 fine from his club, £60,000 from the fa, was given a formal warning by newcastle and was slapped with a three match stadium ban and a touchline ban for a further four games by the football association pardew's punishment represented the longest ban for a manager in england since 1989   and he also underwent anger management counselling in the aftermath pardew and hull city's david meyler confront each other on the touchline at the kc stadium last season  pardew appeared to lay a headbutt on meyler in ridiculous scenes while howard webb watched on  a steward escorts pardew from the pitch and he was later given a hefty fine and ban for his behaviour
