Jose Mourinho has launched yet another attack on Arsene Wenger after claiming the Arsenal manager receives preferential treatment from the football authorities following Chelsea striker Diego Costa’s retrospective ban for violent conduct.

And when questions moved on to Steve McClaren, the manager of Saturday’s opponents Newcastle, coming under pressure for a slow start to the season, Mourinho brought up Wenger in all but name.
“I think I played him very early before he was completely fit, physically, that is one explanation”, he said. “Steve is under pressure, I, Brendan, Pellegrini”, he said. He went on to say that there is only manager who can talk about referees without being exposed to sanction. If I speak about the referee, I’m suspended. “I have to stick with that rule book”. I have to try to know a bit more to make my decision. “Can speak about referees before and after, can push people in the technical areas, can cry in the morning, can cry in the afternoon, nothing happens”.
Walcott added that he’s also hoping to emulate his “hero” by becoming a real game-changer, and scoring a variety of goals just like Wrighty did. “If I speak about players from other clubs and ask for suspensions, I am in trouble”. I have sympathy with all of them because it’s a hard job.
The center back was still charged with improper conduct after receiving his marching orders, and after admitting the charge on Thursday, the FA has made a decision to ban the player for Arsenal’s next match.
“There is one that for a few reason is outside that list”.
The FA announced on Tuesday it had accepted Arsenal’s challenge to referee Mike Dean’s decision and withdrawn the three-match suspension, but the Brazilian defender has not escaped all punishment. “I think Ranieri deserves a lot of respect”.
“He cannot achieve, keep the job, still the king”.
And Wenger has said this quick start has “surprised” him, with the teenager’s role changing at Old Trafford.
“I don’t agree with him because Anthony scored between 25 and 30 goals a season at Lyon’s youth academy while playing as a centre forward and having never played as a winger”, Lamboley told RMC.
Mourinho said: “The reaction to something that happened before was always punished in football and now we now that it is not always“.

“Now we know that retaliation is allowed”.
