Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson was angry with reporters and Hull City rival Steve Bruce after their 0-0 stalemate.
Bruce questioned the conduct of the Leicester players at the final whistle.
Pearson, whose mood soured visibly during the course of a brief, terse appearance before the press, strongly disagreed.
Responding to the journalist who asked him for a response to Bruce's statement, he said: "How many times have you seen us play this year?
"You're not in a position to judge my players on that. You're asking me and I've told you, 'No, I don't think it's a fair assessment'. Full stop."
