1. And finally, arguably the most infamous of them all. Mourinho brands Wenger a ‘specialist in failure’
In February 2014, Wenger was asked why some of Arsenal’s fellow title hopefuls were so keen to downplay their ambitions. “It is fear to fail.”
It’s fair to say that Mourinho didn’t hold back on this one. “Am I afraid of failure? He is a specialist in failure. I’m not. So if one supposes he’s right and I’m afraid of failure, it’s because I don’t fail many times. So maybe he’s right. I’m not used to failing. But the reality is he’s a specialist because, eight years without a piece of silverware, that’s failure.”
Wenger responded by insisting that it was “embarrassing” for his rival and that he felt sorry for Chelsea.
