Fergie is always the HBIC.
Spot on.
There's a reason for that, Mourinho is more obvious because of all his accolades and the fact that his team stopped you from winning the title. However, the Wenger one is a bit more nuanced because his success was in a different era of football but in the last 27 years none the less.Really? I find them both incredibly easy to dislike
Wasn't this after her insulting him by saying something like "My Husband always has to clean up Jose's messes". Which I find hysterical since he has followed him at 2/3 clubs where JM had one either the League or CL...
That's what happens when you surround yourself with young players and no commanding personalities. He is the Michael Jackson of football with out the bed sharing of course. He has been a bit unhinged in my opinion in the last ten years. He is fast becoming irrelevant in club football.
You are correct. Benitez's wife was the first to throw the jab. After what she said, Mourinho mocking her and his weight was fair game imo.
Considering I didn't want him in he first place.God I hope so. I started watching football and supporting United in the early 2000s, when United/Arsenal matches really meant something.
Yep. But her comment was clearly made in jest, the whole interview had a mildly cheeky, ironic kind of tone. Mourinho just took it the wrong way.
Agreed. Wenger is that annoying kid on the first row who always brings an apple to the teacher.
This is very true!
His comeback was essentially "shouldn't you be in the kitchen?"
Which is a fecking audacious statement to make considering Rafa has consistently left clubs in a bigger mess than when he arrived, ever since Liverpool.
Accusing your club is no reason to send personal insults.
You're clearly seeing this through rose tinted glasses. They don't like each other...simple. If someone I really disliked asked to sit next to me i would say no as well.
Fergie and mourinho haven't been much different.
That's a plus in my book
There is no rivalry between Mourinho and Wenger. There is only Wenger losing to Mourinho. Wenger is a bit of a prick himself. Blaming Arsenal fans for not standing by their own players and being 'spoilt'. Detestable, arrogant man. At least Mourinho fights his battles in plain sight.
Pretty sure last year a post like this would he laughed at. I'm just saying it's easy to pass these judgements on managers but at the end of the day these are just some stupid pressers we like to over analyze
Why? I never once said anything about Mourinho being likeable. No one could laugh at that post, it's pure fact.
SAF would go nuts.
I don't like the double standards being applied here. I can't agree that Jose should be a good egg and take everyone's jibes on the chin but if he gives as good as he gets then he "Took it the wrong way". It was hardly a harmless comment on her part, she could not have been more insulting to a pro football manager by insulting his passion and his life's work. he retorded about the fact that RB was slightly tubby. If anything she got off lightly.
Lol yep. JM left him with champions league and league winning sides and Raffa failed at them.
When I read it I understood it to be a harmless en passant joke, although in the world of eccentric football managers that probably translates into something close to a declaration of war.
I agree.
Yeah. Mourinho shouldn't have taken the bait. If you go down that route of answering to any Tom, Dick and Harry then where does it end?
Complete non story, people love making something out of nothing these days.
Only after he's spat in it.
