The dog of war has not lost his bark

Typical Mourinho: Just when it seems safe to bury him, he shows there’s life in the old dog o’ war yet.

He basked in a victory unexpected by both the media and fans who, late last week, thought they’d detected a shutting down of the vital signs. The reviving Gunners had been expected to deliver the coup de gras. The decline was vertiginous and, besides, players had violated lockdown rules, were fighting with each other, wanting to fight with fans.

He won the tactical battle, outfoxed a bright young manager in Mikel Arteta and got a tune out of players who had not only gone flat but appeared to want out.There are ominous parallels with when he took over an already-declining Manchester United – and a couple of lesser trophies apart – he couldn’t slow it down.

Every club wanted him. He was box office but even in his pomp, his personality was more attractive than his results-at-all-costs style of play – which earned him the title “enemy of football”.
