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."
