Today's newspapers are reporting a new raft of comments made by Jose Mourinho attacking Arsene Wenger. He reportedly made the following comments:

Arsenal is a unique team, their coach hasn’t won anything for years and is still an idol. There is no pressure at Arsenal. But do not say he is growing young players into talents. What he does is take young players who are jewels and polishes them. It’s different. He has time to work in a serene atmosphere and get result".

It's hard to imagine how Mourinho's little mind works but this really sounds like he's frustrated. He would like to be back in the Premiership but he knows he has no chance of getting Wenger's or Ferguson's jobs. He can't go to Liverpool because they hate him there. Arsenal would have been the obvious target since Wenger has not won a trophy since 2005 but nobody even challenges his job.

Well Mr. Mourinho, just in case you're looking at Wenger's job I can send you a certificate of failure. Arsenal would never hire you. In the unimaginable scenario that Arsene's job was under pressure, other managers would be considered and not you.

Here's why, Mr. Mourinho:

1. Arsenal would not give you £600 million to spend on players.

2. Arsenal like to do things the right way. That means that the footballing operations have to be financially viable. Your record in this regard is not so great Mr. Mourinho.

3. Tapping-up players and buying opposition targets for any amount of money will never happen at Arsenal.

4. Arsenal is a family not an egomaniac's fiefdom. Victory through harmony is very much the goal at our club. Harmony is one trait that can not be associated with Chelsea under you.

5. Good attacking football is very much a fundamental part of the Arsenal brand. None of the teams you have ever coached has demonstrated anything remotely like this. In fact Chelsea fired you because despite those £600 million, your teams only ever seemed to win 1-0. By the way, that's why Barcelona will not hire you either.

6. Arsene Wenger has been perhaps the biggest contributor in making Arsenal one of the world's 5 richest clubs. Sound financial and football management skills is what it took. Now that he has done it, there is not a doubt that Arsenal will dominate for a while under Arsene.

7. Arsene Wenger is an idol and would remain an idol because we know that no manager in the world could have done a better job for Arsenal than he has. If you had been in the position, you might very well not have achieved anything at all. 

8. Arsene Wenger demonstrates more class in 8 minutes than you have in your circa 8-year managerial career. 

9. You're too stupid to know that the reason Wenger is not under pressure is that he has created more value for Arsenal shareholders than you could ever dream of. Which organisation in the world would fire a coach who makes so much money for them?

10. That's not all you don't realise Moaninho. You don't know that we fans worship Arsene because he has proven, over 100s of decisions, to be a sound mind who'll do the right thing for the club, the players, the fans and the shareholders. He's one of the few managers in the world who realises that a football club is really in the business of entertaining its fans. There are as many as 50,000 of us Arsenal fans in the waiting list for Arsenal season tickets because watching Arsenal is value for money.

11. You don't have as good a track-record of success as Wenger has. 

12. Arsene Wenger is given time to work at Arsenal because he has earned it. He has consistently overachieved and has never blamed the resources available for failure. You, of course famously claimed to have lost the league last season because you weren't allowed to buy players in mid-season.

13. You always burn your bridges and many of your ex-clubs will not have anything to do with you. 

14. You've actually destroyed several great players. Under your tutelage, Mikel went from being one of the most exciting young talents at the level of Messi into being a mechanical churner of identical uncreative passes. Ashley Cole went from the world's best to one of West London's worst. Joe Cole does not look like the player it seemed certain he'd be at West Ham after you knocked the creativity out of him. I could go on. We Arsenal fans shudder to think of what you'd make of Cesc Fabregas or Alex Hleb.

15. You're simply not a fit for us and the fact that you probably don't see that is the best proof of it. 

Myles Palmer has this take on United and Arsenal in the Premiership title race. What I like about Mr. Palmer is how bold he usually is with his predictions. What I am amazed at however is how often he is wrong.

I think the title is Arsenal's to lose and not United's to lose. That takes nothing away from United as the defending champions. We have a better squad and contrary to what Palmer, Roy Keane and Tevez think are stronger. I don't say it as a fan.

Wenger says this is the best squad he's had as Manager. i trust his judgement over most people's and think if this team don't win the league this season they will never win it. They know that. Wenger knows that. The club knows that.

They will fight all the way.

On the other hand the Champion's League is United's priority. They will drop many points in the League as they did last year. I don't see Giggs and Scholes having big seasons. Their midfield is not creating enough.

The lesson I have learnt from Ferguson's teams over the years is that the hungriest and fittest always win. Their treble year was won with kids killing teams of in the last quarter of the game. They were hungry as hell.

Now the hungriest and fittest team in the league is Arsenal. I am backing Arsenal all the way. The signs are there too.

What some don't realise is that last year was the season in which we were close but not good enough. Injuries to Henry and Van Persie meant we lost at least 20-30 goals they would have scored and created. That was worth at least 15 points and would have had an impact on the final standings.

This is the season in which we have to win or it all breaks down for Arsenal. The stakes are clear, and by all indications, the boys know it and are going for it.

The kooks at BBC and ESPN and all the usual punditocracy are suggesting Arsenal are top only because we have not played tough teams yet. In reality we've gone 20 games unbeaten stretching past Chelsea last season. Another set of idiots have said Arsenal are top of the league because United underestimated Arsenal. Nonsense! Everybody knew this was going to be a tough season. Even if they underestimated Arsenal, they did not expect Chelsea and Liverpool to be stuttering as they are now. The reason we have dictated the early pace in the Premiership is Arsene Wenger. It is a reason he was severely criticised for; and that's not buying a platoon of new players in close season. It takes time for teams to blend. It takes more than one season for most players to adjust to the Premiership.

This season we have played 3 teams in the Top 6 in the league and beaten all three. We have played three Derbies and won all three. We beat a swashbuckling Sevilla team. Our kids spanked a Newcastle team that was desperate for success in the Carling Cup.

Some people erroneously think of this Arsenal teams in terms of their birth dates not in terms of their experience. We have a team that has been to the Champion's League Final. Some of these kids; Fabregas and Van Persie for example played a peripheral part in the invincibles campaign and have the medals to prove it. Arsenal had more players in the last World Cup than any other team in Europe. More than Barcelona. More than AC Milan. More than Chelsea or United. Adebayor, the leggy inconsistent that he is scored 11 goals to singlehandedly take Togo to the World Cup. Togo! That's like Craig Bellamy single-handedly taking Wales to the World Cup. We have a young team, but they are not so inexperienced. Nobody with any credibility worth a fiver doubts the quality of this Arsenal team.

The most important factor is that these guys are good. We forget that in a way, United's resurgence is based on kids. It was Rooney and Ronaldo and Carrick who drove them last season. Our kids are in the same league as those guys. I'd say only Ronaldo is better than anyone we have. Our kids realise that this is the time for them to make their names and become the best.

I am betting on them to be the real deal. I was one who said so at the beginning of the season, even though I doubted how little they would suffer the loss of Henry.

That is not to say that Arsenal would walk to the title. Of course it is not guaranteed that any team at all would win. We're just 25% into the season and nobody can predict this early. The best we can do is read the early signs and try to determine who are the favourites. A complete reading of the signs places Arsenal and not United or Man City or Chelsea or Liverpool as favourites.
