Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has
described Jose Mourinho 's "specialist in
failure" comment as "silly" and
"disrespectful".
The Chelsea boss responded to suggestions
he was playing down his side's title
chances through a fear of missing out on
top spot in the Premier League at the end
of the season by labelling Wenger a
"specialist in failure."
Wenger was adamant he would not be
drawn into a war of words with Mourinho,
but suggested the incident is
"embarrassing" for Chelsea.
"I do not want to go into silly, disrespectful
remarks," he told BT Sport. "I did not
speak about him in my press conference
and I won't do so again tonight.
"All I know is that it is more embarrassing
for Chelsea than for me."
Wenger saw Arsenal edge past Liverpool in
the FA Cup and book a quarter-final
meeting with Everton on Sunday, and was
delighted with the character his side
showed to respond to a 5-1 defeat at
Anfield last weekend.
"Our mental strength, our mental response,
our intensity from the start on - [I am] very
proud of the way we responded after a
huge defeat last week that was the most
pleasing."
