Mikel Arteta still angry about Jose Mourinho's Arsene Wenger remarks

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta hits out at Jose Mourinho over his criticism of Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta has admitted that he is still angry about Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's criticism of Gunners manager Arsene Wenger.

The Blues coach described the Frenchman as a "specialist in failure" back in February, remarks that Arteta strongly refutes.

"If, for you, success is only to win a trophy, it doesn't matter how, then I think [Wenger] is the way [Mourinho] is saying," Sky Sports News quotes Arteta as saying. "If you analyse everything he has done for the club, then if he is a failure I have a different opinion.

"I don't like it when someone criticises my teammates, the staff, the manager, the club because I see what he does every day to look after this club.

"When they are right maybe you can accept, everybody makes mistakes. You can criticise the manager, whoever, but when it comes in a certain moment in a certain way I don't like it."

Arsenal can end their nine-year trophy drought this weekend when they take on Hull City in the FA Cup final.
