Mourinho is surprised Arsenal aren't title challengers, praises Wenger.

‎Asides being over dramatic, unpredictable is another word you can use to describe the self-acclaimed Special One. With the fracas he had with the Gunners boss last year, who would have thought he could say something good about the later.
The Chelsea boss while speaking with Sky Sports’ Goals today expressed his surprise that Arsenal aren’t title challengers despite having a great squad.

 “I don’t understand why they are not up there with Chelsea and Manchester City, Arsenal are a team I like very much. They have very good players and Alexis Sanchez is a very important player to add to what they have got. I don’t understand why they are not up there with Chelsea and City. Arsenal are a team I like very much. They are a team for more.”
And then he goes ahead to hail his touchline rival, Wenger.

“He has a dream job, everyone would love to have the security he has of being manager year after year after year. He won so many titles in a certain period and that gave him that credibility he deserves. 

He is obviously a fantastic manager. He has a fantastic situation to be successful. When you look at the players in the squad, they are capable of playing very good football.”‎ He added.

"….Don't come back Please". Mourinho tells Wenger during heated touchline row

I know that one idea on your head, that Mourinho told Arsene Wenger not to face his team again? Nah! Not it. He has no power over that. So, the 2014/2015 series between the old foes have begun. Sit back, relax and read. The reaction is from the former Madrid Manager, we’ll wait and see if the frenchman will come up with his this week or some…day.

To those who watched The Blues. Vs Gunners game which ended 2-0 in favour of the former yesterday, saw the heated touchline bust-up between the two managers and were itching to hear what they were saying, the Portugal ace has revealed it.

He told Sky Sports 1 “For me, it is over. But the technical area is very clear – I have mine, he has his and he cannot come to mine, especially to put pressure on the referee to give a red card to my player. So I just told him ‘leave my technical area and don’t come back please’.”

On the referee’s performance, the Special one said: “I think the referee, from a technical point of view, had a fantastic performance in a difficult, technical, fast match with lots of runs behind – also the linesmen had a difficult game and I think they did a fantastic job.”

Arsene Wenger makes case for Mesut Ozil. " He shouldn't be scapegoat for our shortcomings"

Arsenal manager, Arsène Wenger thinks it his unfair to blame German star, Mesut Ozil for Arsenal shortcomings. The Frenchman maintained that the Gunners have lost only a game since April 1 and the least anyone can do is to support the World Cup star.

“Why should he be a scapegoat? For what? We’ve lost one game since 1 April. Let’s be realistic, We have come out of a very difficult preparation period with decisive games. We had very difficult games against Besiktas. I don’t know – a scapegoat for what?”

“What is difficult to manage today is that everybody knows absolutely everything and everybody judges people definitely on one game. You have to accept that football is played by human beings who have ups and downs like you have in your life.

“You have plenty of tacticians in the world who have managed zero games. You have to accept their opinion – they might be right, they might be wrong as well. They have to accept that. We live in a world where everybody has an opinion and we have to live with that. At the end of the day, somebody always has to make a decision and that’s the guy who is responsible.”

“They should not be concerned and just support him. I understand that you want your best players always to make the difference in every single game and we all go through periods where we are a bit less good,” he concluded.

David Moyes' Sack: Arsene Wenger condemns spate of sackings in England

Arsenal Manager, Arsene Wenger, in the wake of the David Moyes’ exit as Manchester United coach has voiced his concerns over the spate of sackings of coaches in England. The 64 year-old frenchman believes the quality of coaching is under threat because managers are not given enough time to develop and prove their worth.
“If you want quality people in any job, you need to give them time to develop and to become good, or people with the quality will not come into our job any more. The average (job life) expectancy of an English professional club at the moment is 11 months, and that is quite unstable. Every guy who is married, has a family, will have a big hesitancy before he goes into that game. That means the quality of the coaching and the quality of the managing is under threat.”
