Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has urged respect between managers following Jose Mourinho's comments over the Gunners' lengthy title drought.
Mourinho's Chelsea side suffered "boring" chants during last weekend's 0-0 draw away at Arsenal, a continuation of the Blues playing a disciplined style of football.
The draw came hot on the heels of Chelsea beating Manchester United 1-0 at home with just 30 per cent possession in the game.
Mourinho, in response, hit out at the boring jibes and suggested that for Arsenal fans, waiting for a first Premier League title since 2004 is boring.
Today Wenger has sought to defuse the situation and simply urged managers to treat each other with respect.
