Arsène Wenger has dismissed José Mourinho's jibe at the Gunners after the match against Chelsea.
The Chelsea manager accused Arsenal of playing for the draw and lacking any ambition to win at Stamford Bridge.
The Portugese manager even insinuated of a conspiracy between Arsenal and Manchester United, to prevent Chelsea from closing the gap on the leaders.
Wenger said: "They [Chelsea] usually put the result first.
"That is why this comment is, for me, of no real interest or of any substance because it is not linked with their ambition to play at all."

LMAO - Wenger's absolutely right here! What an undeniably true summation & simultaneous dismissal of Mourinho's comment the other day. Brilliant.

Precisely, Mourinho is only being sour grapes this time. The team tried their best to get the better of possession and put pressure on Chelsea, whose fab-4 defenders plus makelele are so hard to break through.
He should credit his defence for being able to stifle us and prevent clear-cut chances rather than always putting himself in the limelight.
