07:25 Wenger v Ferguson
09:30 Wenger v Mourinho's part II
10:24 Benitez v Mourinho
13:23 Tuchel v Conte's touchline fight!
15:10 Top 5 confirmed
The panel debate what makes a rivalry and which one was more iconic: Jose Mourinho v Arsene Wenger or Sir Alex Ferguson v Arsene Wenger, as well as why Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp's rivalry is too nice to make the list.
They reminisce about Mourinho’s ‘specialist in failure’ and ‘voyeur’ jibes at Wenger when the pair managed Chelsea and Arsenal respectively, as well as the incredible incidents that dominated the Ferguson and Wenger rivalry. Who can forget the ‘Battle of the Buffet aka Pizzagate’ or Manchester United’s 8-2 demolishing of Arsenal, which ended with Wenger standing with fans at Old Trafford?
Also on the agenda is Ferguson v Kevin Keegan, the rivalry which invented the concept of ‘mind games’ as well as phrase 'I would love it if we beat them!, Rafael Benitez's 'facts' rant at Ferguson when Liverpool blew the title, Wenger v Sam Allardyce when Big Sam managed Bolton, as well as the more recent spat between Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte, which ended in fisticuffs.
What do you think is the Premier League's greatest manager rivalry? Let us know in the comments?
