Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hit back at Jose Mourinho for the Portuguese’s “silly, disrespectful remark” as the war of words between the two managers escalated over the weekend.
Mourinho on Friday described Wenger as “a specialist in failure” – referring to Arsenal’s eight-year trophy drought – after the Gunners boss implied the Premier League title was Chelsea’s to lose.
Wenger insisted his comments saying any team which says they are not in the title race – as Chelsea manager Mourinho has done countless times this season - does so out of fear of falling short of their ambition.
