Angry fan who confronted Arsene Wenger after Arsenal/Southampton clash charged to court.
"….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.
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.
