J.Mourinho: Wenger - specialist in defeats © EuroFootball.com

Coaches from two London clubs have engaged in a war of words. Chelsea's coach Jose Mourinho referred to Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger as a "specialist in failure". Earlier on Friday, the Frenchman, when asked why coaches of leading teams downplay their own team's chances, replied: "It's the fear of failure". During a later press conference of the "Blues" coach J. Mourinho, the Portuguese retorted: "Wenger is a specialist in failure, and I am not". "If a team does not win anything for eight years, it is a failure," said the 51-year-old coach. London's Chelsea currently leads the Premier League with 56 points. Arsenal is one point behind, with Manchester City three points behind, having played one match less, and Liverpool players are four points off the aristocrats.
