We are all partisan warriors, but dispassionately you have to separate the manager from the man. Mourinho, Fergie are both great managers. It would be churlish to say otherwise. You cannot fluke your way to 2 CL titles. It is mightily difficult to win even 1. You need all the elements of tactics, players and luck to go your way to do it. Wenger has spectacularly failed to be that man, 2004 was our year to be lucky, 2006 was our year to be good enough. we fluffed our lines both times. Mourinho is not a nice person, in fact I would go as far as to say, he is a fundamentally flawed human being who is in dire need of a shrink, but there is no denying his qualities. Even against Newcastle, his subs made all the difference. When last did Wenger make a tactical change that saved us from embarrassing defeat. Maybe bringing on Bendtner against the Spuds some seasons ago.
I dislike Mourinho, to the point i would probably leave if I found myself in the same restaurant as him. I wouldn't be able to eat I'm sure
However he has said nothing this time that we haven't repeated here, a million times. Sadly Wenger probably needs Mourinho continuously jabbing him in the eye like this. He is probably the only person in world football that tells him what he needs to hear.
