It's clear to me that Mou is an insecure little man who can't enjoy his own success as he's weirdly eaten up with obsessions of how other managers are viewed and appreciated.
Your love for the anti Wenger blinds you Biggus.

Maybe unfair but I'll always doubt an Arsenal fan's wishes for our season if they revere a club enemy such as Mou

Pretty much.

If Mourinho believed that the comment from Rafa's wife was unfair, he could have pointed it out in a myriad of ways (facts support him here) without referring to his weight.

What must it feel like to have a racist for a captain/legend, a criminal for an owner/benefactor and this insecure twerp as manager!

Well, now that I think about it, Mourinho is practically a saint by that club's standards.

Spot on. Its really weird how spiteful he constantly is.

How do you know it was in jest?
She had no business making comments about things she knows nothing about.

Well my enemy's enemy is my friend.

It is unfair because I followed Arsenal before most of you were born, and I more than anyone know that players and managers come and go (although sadly it doesn't appear so in Wengers case) but anyway unlike some who have never known anything else  I can make the distinction between Wenger and Arsenal because I was Arsenal before he even arrived so I don't blindly accept him as a matter of fact like most fans, one day he will be gone and I intent to live to see it. 🙂

Personally I don't care as long as this makes Rafa angry enough to sell us Benzema.

I understand where you're coming from Biggus - I guess from my perspective it does sometimes appear that your posts are obsessed with Wenger to the exclusion of all else Arsenal.

Well thats because for better or worse like it or not Arsene Wenger is by far the most powerful and influential person at the club and almost every aspect of discussing it will involve him.

Back on topic, most of you know that I'm no lover of Gary Neville but I must admit he's spot on about this.

The reality of it is, if you don’t defend well, you’re going to find it very difficult to win the European Cup.

I'm off have a 2 showers now.

"I think Jose Mourinho is starting to bring it back, to a level. My hope was he was going to go away and blitz the Premier League by 25 points, and then everyone else thinks: ‘Right, I’ve got to go away and get up to that standard.’ That’s what could happen in this next couple of years.

Oh fuck no. If that happens, I'll cry. When Mourinho's first stint in England ended, virtually every single club copied him to ridiculous degrees. The likes of United implemented it properly with Vidic and Ferdinand providing an excellent base(which is probably want Neville is thinking about), but the rest of the league suffered in terms of the quality of football. In particular the glory cup ties between Rafa's Liverpool and Chelsea made me question what I was doing with my life.

Nowadays the quality of football from Barcelona, Madrid, Bayern and Juventus have set a new bench mark. And it's not just the big clubs, even At, Madrid and Dortmund have had some success by being more proactive. That isn't to disparage the defending obviously, Juventus were excellent at defending against Real Madrid in the semi finals. The difference is that they defended so that their attackers had the best chance to score, rather than because they were happy to settle for a draw.

I find it odd that Neville talks up Mourinho's approach when his ridiculous attempts to park the bus against a 10 man PSG team at home ended up costing him the tie.

Well everyone has a different expectation from football as regards which is more important excitement or effectiveness thats not really what I want to discuss here rather than Mourinho's teams which have set the benchmark for defending, and its up to the Man's and us to catch them.

I enjoy the villain persona he chooses to embrace and personify.

Entertaining character.

To be fair, if Terry had been an Arsenal player for the last decade he'd probably be less of a cunt.

he was close to being ours before roman pitched up. id gave certainly taken him in the summer of 03

He was flirting with us in the press and had Roman not arrived there is a good chance he would have been an Arsenal player.

Did you think RVP, Nasri and Fabregas were dickheads.

Normally I'd agree but Chelsea 2004-present is an anomaly, the place has cuntified quite a few perfectly decent human beings.
