Jose Mourinho has complained in today’ s Guardian that he is bothered by Wenger constantly talking about Chelsea. Mourinho told the Guardian, "We never speak about them"

In case you have missed Mourinho not speaking about Arsenal over the last 10 months here is a small selection. I’m afraid there is not enough space for all his non-talking about Arsenal.

December 2004

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has attempted to pile the pressure on title rivals Arsenal ahead of the Gunners facing Newcastle on Wednesday. Arsenal will play the Magpies a day after Chelsea beat Portsmouth during a busy festive programme. And Mourinho said: "They always seem to have two or three days' rest in which to recover. Perhaps it's something to do with the television schedule"

Mourinho, asked for his thoughts on Wenger by Gary Lineker for a BBC documentary to be screened on Monday, said: "I don't know him well, so I think it's not fair to speak about someone I don't know personally.

"When he says he likes other Chelsea teams much more than our team I know why - because we are the champions. He preferred the other way when they were the champions.

"I didn't like Arsenal in the beginning of the season when they smashed everybody and I don't like them now when they beat Everton 7-0 and they win.

"But I liked them very much in the middle of the season when every weekend they lost points.

"I was in love with them then, so I can understand why Arsene doesn't like us."

But on Ferguson, Mourinho said: "I respect him, but not just respect, I like him.

"He is a person to have a word fight with but at the end of the game everything ends.

"He is a very correct person and he teaches me a few things."

On the final, the Portuguese added: "I don't know who will win the FA Cup final but I would like somebody to win because I have a better feeling with that side than with the other side."

"I would like Manchester United to win. I have no problem to say that."

Mourinho accuses Arsenal of tapping up Julio Baptista, and also calls for Arsenal director Dein to resign from FA; clubs and ruling authority should be completely separate

Mourinho cited next season's "very strange" Premiership fixture list as evidence of Dein's sway, even though the FA has no say in those fixtures. He noted that Chelsea play away after their first five Champions League games, including at Newcastle, whereas Arsenal are at home each time. Champions League commitments are not taken into account."

"I am not the most intelligent person in the world but I'm not stupid and since I arrived I have understood things and things don't change," Mourinho said. "I have a five-year contract with Chelsea. Maybe in 2009 or 2010 Mr Dein will not be in the FA any more and we can have a different season. Or maybe Mr Kenyon [the Chelsea chief executive] will be working in the FA."

September 2005

Mourinho believes that Arsenal can already consider themselves outsiders for the title after losing two games in the early stages of the season.

Defeats to Middlesborough and Chelsea have left Arsenal reeling, and the likes of defender Ashley Cole publicly questioning the side's capacity for success.

Manager Arsene Wenger is well aware that The Gunners were unbeaten two years ago when they lifted the title and current holders Chelsea lost just once - and so is Mourinho.

The tendency is for the big teams not to lose many matches. Maybe Arsenal defender Ashley Cole is right when he says you must suffer no more than four defeats in a season. He's probably correct.

"We have quite a significant advantage over Arsenal," said Mourinho, "but we are not so far ahead of Manchester United. We could lose five points in two games so the Premiership race is not over."
