FEBRUARY 2005 Wenger: Take what Arsenal and Chelsea have won in the past eight years. I go with reality, with the football we play and the challenge we have ahead.

Wenger defends himself after being critisiced for fielding an all foreign squad in a match against Crystal Palace.

Mourinho feels Wengers criticism of Chelsea’s transfer activity is becoming tedious. NOVEMBER 2005 Wenger: He’s out of order, disconnected with reality and disrespectful.

Mourinho: At Stamford Bridge, we have a file of quotes from Mr Wenger about Chelsea football club in the last 12 months - it is not a file of five pages.

Mourinho responds by defending his strong attack of Wenger, and claims to have the Frenchmans Chelsea insults on record.

NOVEMBER 2010 Wenger: You never say it doesnt cross your mind but when you see how it looks on television it is the best demonstration to think: Never do that again. It looks, frankly, horrible. Its a pity to see that from a big club. Wenger vents his disgust at the now Real Madrid manager’s decision to get Xabi Alonso and Sergio Ramos deliberately cautioned by the referee during a Champions League match with Galatasaray. Mourinho: Instead of speaking about Real Madrid, Mr Wenger should speak about Arsenal and explain how he lost 2-0 against a team in the Champions League for the first time [Braga].

If you declare yourself not in the race, you cannot lose, it simple as that. Wenger says that the title is Chelseas to lose and that Mourinho is playing down his own teams chances because of a fear of faiure.
