The Mourinho Thread

If you read just the quotes it looks far more disrespectful than if you watch the whole presser and keep the comments in context. It's was a joke, a cutting one for sure but hell its true in many ways and Wenger as a man can't hide from his track record. Wenger was asking for it when he said 'Mourinho was afraid of failure', that's guaranteed to provoke a response. But did Wenger just try pull a Mourinho on Mourinho by rattling his feathers a bit?

When Mou said he doesn't want 8 years it made me a bit sad, I want him for 8 years... I love his attitude in that he wants to earn his next contract.

Another thing, where can I get one of those vests Mourinho sometimes wears to the these things?

To be fair they haven't had the luxury of spending much in those 8 years. He's done well to keep them where they are to be honest. But their board are just full of stingy businessmen, they have the funds no doubt, they just don't put more in transfers as long as they make tidy profits from the Champions League and ticket sales thank you very much.

To some extent maybe, however 8 years without a trophy with some off the players he has had avalible to him is under-achievement, infact go back to pre 2005 when he had the best team in England if not Europe, he should have had Arsenal dominating England if not Europe, instead he was letting United win more than Arsenal while the likes off Deportivo and Inter were coming to Highbury and taking them to the cleaners.
Jose or Fergie incharge off Arsenal circa 00-05 and i dread to think what would have happened.

Jesus! When I read the quotes I thought he'd said it smiling in a joking way. He was dead serious there!

Fucking love it! We HAVE to back up this kind of arrogance on the pitch, though, or José is gonna hear it big time.

Must say DriveTime on @talkSPORT was incredible. The guys were absolutely spot on!

The presenter said that Arsenal were club that bang on on about Financial Fair Play yet make up for it by stealing money off their own fans. Never thought I'd hear this on Radio......

Some Arsenal fans calling Mou a failure because he got "sacked" at Real and in his first stint here. How they despise him as a man and that he's the biggest dick in the PL... It's hilarious. :lol:

Gotta love how Mou is getting under the skin of these lot. They're angry because it's true.

They just green with jealousy bout that 'big dick' imo :lol:

Just telling it like it is

Wenger failed! All those youngsters were meant to grow into a title winning side, never happened. They sell their best players.

They win the Emirates cup though! and apparently 4th in the league is kind of a title according to Wenger......

Let's be honest though, since their last trophy he's spent horribly:

Reyes for £10.5M, Hleb for £11.5M, Eduardo for £7.5M, Arshavin for £15M, Squillaci for £4M, Gervinho for £10.5M, Ozil for £42.5M and the crowning turd in the water pipe Andre Santos for £7M. He could have spent that ~£110M so much better...

yup, they all leave just before turning into winners. It's a vicious circle really as some say you develop winners by winning.

Pretty vicious comments by Jose, even though they are all true. It also somewhat diminishes the importance of the people who have worked along with him - not to mention the clubs.

But if Wenger is so limited at Arsenal, why didn't he leave Arsenal for a bigger club where he could put his own talent as a manager to full test, lift trophies and make history? If he was to leave Arsenal, I'm sure he would be offered a job at some other big club. Why did he stuck to the Arsenal job knowing the club can't or refuses to invest more in his work?

Because he lacks ambition and he couldn't care less if he wins trophies or not. He is afraid that he could pull a Moyes, leave Arsenal and watch his career go downhill from there.

So it's true, Wenger IS a failure because he is happy to be on the losing side. That said, I do believe Mou went too far on this one. No need to put the old man down about it...
