No, but as far as coaches go, it was about the most provocative he could have appointed and Benitez got all the flak.

Yet Benitez won silverware so in my book the owner was correct. I personally think the way Rafa was treated by some so called fans was a disgrace.
Just my opinion!

Yep. It was a disgrace
Normally you'd expect to see appointments like these end in total disaster but it turned out pretty well

I do think Jose is a cut above Rafa though.. Kind of forgot how good Jose was even though I questioned his motive with Mata, I can see it now.

With regards to what's going on now with Wenger and Mou, It'd be nice if Wenger fires a barb back at Jose. Keep this running on
Might fire himself and his team even more.

Think we will see Pellegrini and Wenger teaming up agst Mourinho...........I bet Purple Nose is enjoying it from afar, gives him something to take his mind off appointing Moyes.

Fraudster spoken and the British public are creaming..you couldn't make it up..

It's annoying that it's come from "The press want to toss me off Jose" But he's not exactly wrong. Wenger is one of the biggest failing managers of the last 8 years in terms of Success. Top 4 without building a real team for 8 years is admirable. But it's not worth Jack compared to the silverware we should of had in this time had we have bought known class players with all this money we have. Rather than has beens and one hit wonders!

Biggish I think Fergus is busy trying to explain to the glazers, why Moyes was picked

The truth hurts, Mourinho is right about Wenger

chelsea has the most expensive squad in the premier league so if mourinho objective is to finish in the top 4 it shows his level

^^Good comment

This could fire up Arsenal though and backfire on us... We're not home and dry yet and our goal scoring deficiencies could come back to bite us.

even a little horse has a big cook

Mr C............it would have been lovely if just one mourinho could have turned the other cheek, but he just can't help himself.

I think up till now he has been ok apart from mayube a few digs at Pellegrini, but today is going to get the level of media coverage in tomorrow's papers that I suspect Roman does not appreciate.

I've noticed Jose is very vulnerable to criticism. He should just walk away with a bit of dignity. This is already firing up chat on the BBC live sports page. I also think he will be out of the FA cup by the end of the weekend.

Wanna Betfred

Even the Chelsea seaon ticket holderI work with thinks JM comes across as a t1t and classless with this attack on AW

I had to agree with him.

Mourinho is such a cant but I'm actually pleased he said that. What better way to get the players fired up. He's done us a massive favour

Why cant Wenger fire up his players himself?

Mourinho hasn't achieved the success AW has given the funds that have been made available to respective managers. He failed miserably in Spain, even Barca wanted him gone because of the poison he spewed out. As usual, he is trying to create a fortress mentality in the dressing room everyone hates us blah blah blah and the boring boring media will fawn all over him.

I haven't read through the comments but any arsenal fan who is supporting mourinho and his comments is a disgrace and an embarrassment on so many levels. It's sick that I am even anticipating people doing this but this forum shocks me every day

Mr Chelsea
as much as Jose is a bit of a moaner he's right about old Wenger.

Truth hurts I guess.

José won the league with 100pts in Spain, that's hardly failing miserably is it?

That was Barca not Madrid who had 85 points.
