Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has labelled the spitting row involving Cesc Fabregas as 'a storm in a teacup'.
Gunners captain Fabregas allegedly spat at Hull City assistant manager Brian Horton in the aftermath of Arsenal's 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final win on Tuesday.
Fabregas has stressed that he is innocent while Horton has contacted the League Managers Association about the incident.
Hill-Wood said in the Daily Star: "People are getting over-excited and maybe upset when things don't go well for them and possibly do things they will live to regret.
"The whole thing is a storm in a teacup - there are more important things to worry about in the world and, quite frankly, I find it all rather childish.
"I have a perfectly good relationship with the Hull chairman and I did shake hands at the end and say 'bad luck', which I felt was fair comment.
"They were very nice to be with and we had a perfectly friendly discussion. So to say there is this big bad blood between us is nonsense.
"I don't like people spitting at anyone. It is not something I have been brought up to do so I find it rather difficult to understand.
"But I find this whole particular saga difficult to understand."
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich director of communications Markus Hoerwick has moved to clear Fabregas of allegations that he spat at Michael Ballack in 2005.
Hoerwick said: "It definitely never happened. If anything of that kind happened I would have been the first to be informed and the first to do something about it."
