Mourinho is behind Wenger during arguably his worst ever season as Arsenal manager.

Says it all.

Bar c.f. our squad is better.

If he is in same position next year he deserves blasting, comparing him to wenger who has had a good 3-4 years with most this current crop to make a title winning side is frankly pushing it.

De Gea, Bailly, Blind, Pogba, Ibra, Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Mata all would make our starting XI. They have a better bench as well.

No it isn't, because Wenger has been universally slammed (rightfully so) for his incompetence this season; yet Jose, who gets praised, is behind him in the league.

I don't understand how that works if Wenger is so shit and Jose is the bestest.

Ones been in a job for 20 years

The other less than a season and taken over a shitshow of a club with mismanaged by Moyes and LVG.

Won a trophy and in a European final. If he wins the Europa, Man utd complete the full set. Something Fergie couldn't do. Fair to say Jose takes the mantle of greatest Man Utd manager ever should it come to pass. Hope not.

I'm sure Fergie will be jealous of Jose's Europa league trophy.

Mourinho always uses the 'mickey mouse' competitions as a springboard to the big trophies.

At porto it was the uefa cup in 02/03 and the CL in 03/04. At chelsea he used winning the league cup in 04/05 as a springboard to winning the league in the same season. At real it was the copa del rey in 10/11 as a springboard to la liga in 11/12.

It is all about that winning mentality and they will do the mickey mouse double this season and be a major force in the league and CL next season imo.

Its Jose first season of course he gets more of a pass.

Look at our squad.

Theo 11 seasons
Ramsey 9 seasons
Gibbs 9 seasons
Wilshere 9 seasons
Kos 7 seasons
Coq 7 seasons
Ox 6 seasons
Per 6 seasons
Giroud 5 seasons
Cazorla 5 seasons
Monreal 5 seasons
OZIL 4 seasons
Sanchez 3 seasons
Welbeck 3 seasons
Bellerin 3 seasons
Gabriel 3 seasons
Debuchy 3 seasons

This Is an experienced squad that has played together for a long time under the same manager, it isn't kids like 08,comparing to Maureen is stupid.
