Arsene Wenger has never beaten Jose Mourinho in 13 attempts

Chelsea's Jose Mourinho lacks respect for his fellow managers, says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

Gunners fans chanted "boring boring Chelsea" during last weekend's 0-0 draw, and Mourinho said the Gunners' 11-year wait for a title was "boring".

Wenger was asked about those comments in his pre-match news conference for Monday's game with Hull.

"The biggest thing for a manager is to respect other managers. Some people have to improve on that," he said.

In February 2014 the Chelsea boss called his opposite number a "specialist in failure", and then in October the Gunners boss shoved his rival during a heated touchline quarrel.

Wenger said: "You can have incidents with other managers sometimes.

"It gets a bit heated when you fight directly with them, but in the end I believe time heals and the important thing is to respect each other as much as you can."
