Wenger and Mourinho at it again!
Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho's personal attacks are
beginning to overshadow the game.
On Saturday the showdown between Chelsea and Arsenal was a
cracking game of football. Whoever you support, and I support
neither, Arsenal were out-gunned by a dominent Chelsea side who
scored 2 outstanding goals - read all about it by
clicking here.
But what are we all talking about - Mourinho and Wenger's
slanging match! And I suppose I'm guilty too!
So on Sunday we all thought that it was Jose who had been the
unsporting one by running into the tunnel at the end of the
match, but today the press is full of a different story.
Last week, in a moment of Christmas spirit, Jose sent out
Chelsea Christmas cards to his 19 other Premiership
counterparts, but he reserved a special handwritten message for
the Gunners boss. The message apparently included an apology for
the recent remarks and a wish to bury the hatchet.
When the letter arrived at Highbury, Arsene choked on his mince
pie whilst one of the Arsenal back-room staff tried to find out
if the message was genuine.
At Sunday's match Mourinho apparently waited around for Wenger
at the start of the
match in order to shake his hand, but was
ignored by the Arsenal manager. And this was how it carried on
during the match aswell.
When the match was over Mourinho had had enough and buggered off
quickly.
Personally I'd have hung around to shake Wenger's hand. It was a
win-win situation for Mourinho! Either Wenger would have ignored
the gesture and millions of viewers would have seen an
unsporting action. Or, if they had shaken hands, Mourninho could
have rubbed it in a bit more by saying "better luck next time,
keep trying!"
Either way, according to Sam Allardyce it's all because the pair
are foreigners: "I don't think that is the British way."
Perhaps having loads of money and winning all the time is just
plain boring for Mourinho and this is his way of spicing it up!
Arsenal and Chelsea have played their matches now this season,
with the spoils going to Chelsea, perhaps the two will shut up
and let the football do the talking, but I doubt it!
