Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho slammed as a ''boring bully'' by Arsenal icon Bob Wilson





The former Gunner hasn't taken kindly to the Chelsea boss calling Arsene Wenger a "specialist in failure" describing him as "disrespectful" and "despicable"
 


Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson has hit out at Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, labelling the Portuguese manager a 'boring bully'.

Wilson, 72, has reacted following Mourinho's recent remarks about Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, whom he labelled "a specialist in failure."

Mourinho has also given his thoughts recently on Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini - the man he succeeded as manager at Real Madrid in 2010 - as he looks to take an apparent mental advantage in the Premier League title race.

Mourinho has repeatedly played down Chelsea's chances of winning the Premier League this season, declaring his side are third favourites behind Manchester City and the Gunners, despite being leaders with 12 games remaining.

And after Wenger questioned whether Mourinho was afraid to fail, the Chelsea boss told BBC Five Live: "If supposedly he is right and I'm afraid to fail, it's because I haven't failed many times."
Yet it is his words to Wenger - concerning the Frenchman being a failure - which have left Wilson appalled.

"I think at best it was disrespectful, at worst despicable to be so dismissive of a genuinely good guy and a footballing man I think, whose presence in England in 17-18 years has opened eyes and ears and created wonderfully entertaining sides," said Wilson, speaking on BBC Five Live's Sportsweek programme.

"It's obviously not the first time Mourinho has singled Arsene out.

"He called him a voyeur which is a disgusting claim and thankfully on that occasion he - although belatedly - he did apologise.

"I think it's personal, he is hugely talented, amazing manager Mourinho but I find - at this moment - I find him boring at the moment.

"To call [City boss Manuel] Pellgrini the abuse that he's called him, to do with Arsene; this is a weekend when we honour a gent - Tom Finney, Sir Tom, and I don't like bullies."
