As Wenger is (hopefully) coming to the end of his days as Arsenal manager, he can at least finally end the hoodoo Mourinho holds on him. Looking back over the last 3 seasons, his record vs Mourinho is no worse than Mourinho's record vs Arsene.

Man United 1-1 Arsenal
07/05/2017
Arsenal 2-0 Man United
That reads 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses each.
In a world where every half decent manager with tactical nous can very easily outwit and get the better of Arsene, it is ironic that the man who used to own him has now pretty much become his equal. Everybody knows that Wenger's days as a top manager have come to an end but it really doesn't make pleasant reading for the Mourinho fanboys out there who still cling onto the hope he may rediscover that aura that made him so special all those years ago.
Every team in the top 8 has managed to beat Arsenal this season. Every team but United, that is. Pretty damning statistic that. Mourinho's demise has been just as spectacular as Arsene's. Another has been of a manager.

Didn't he do that against a far superior Liverpool side in 2014 and well, you know the rest?

I find it odd that Mourinho is getting a free ride despite probably finishing behind where LVG did despite spending more, having less injuries and as of now winning a less prestigious trophy.

he's getting a free ride because of his current standing in the game and his history of winning trophies.

despite it being a miserable day of football, the racist far rights have been eradicated from French politics. Looks like Macron is gonna be the new president.

I find it funny when United fans claim there football is more attractive this year. It's probably more down to the signings of Pogba, Mikh, and Zlatan, than being managed by Jose instead of Van Gaal. Give Jose the exact same squad as Van Gaal or Moyes, and you would see no improvement over the results, and football being as dire and terrible to watch.

Macron has won handsomely, but he won't be a good president. Le Penn wasn't eradicated, she won 34% of the vote. Wanting to curb immigration isn't racist.
She would have been a worse president than Macron though.

Macron is a banker and a plant from the EU elite to stop Marine Le Pen from dismantling their failed experiment,is anyone surprised the cowardly French bottled it though?

I don't like Macron, and as stated don't think he will be a good president, he is the same as Hollande.
Le Penn had few ideas on the economy and also would not make a good president imo.
The French are very far from cowardly.
