Jose Mourinho has said his 100 per cent managerial home record against Arsenal means nothing as his Tottenham side prepare to face their North London rivals on Sunday.
The Tottenham Hotspur boss has hosted Arsenal a total of 10 times as manager of Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham has never tasted defeat, winning six and drawing four of those encounters.
But Mourinho is wary of any such stats, believing they are to be broken and even citing his previous hoodoo away to Newcastle United (failing to win in seven attempts) before smashing that record with a 3-1 victory at the end of last season.
He said “it means nothing for this game, it’s history and that’s it, I don’t really care.”
“When I went to Newcastle the last time, the question was that I had never won in my career there and I didn’t really care about that either.
Mourinho also would not be drawn on comments made by his defender Eric Dier that
Arsenal counterpart Mikel Arteta was “the most exciting young manager in Europe.”
