I wasnt agreeing totally with what Mourinho and Ferguson said, i was just pointing out that Arsenals fixtures after Champions League games are mostly at home. I dont think Dein had anything to do with it, its just that compared to Chelsea and Man utd, Arsenal have a favourable fixture list. For example after one Champions league match United and Chelsea face each other and United have a game against Liverpool after one of thier other Champions League matches.
I dont think Mourinho and Ferguson were complaining about the fixtures because it would affect thier champions league campaigns but because of their Premiership title hopes, which is why i dont agree with what you said about matches before champions league games are just as important. The players after Champions League games will be tired, especially after away games, and in Chelseas and Uniteds case they will have to travel away from home where it will be more difficult to rest palyers compared to playing at home and away games are always much more difficult than home games.

I was just using what information was availabile at the current time to show what Mourinho and Ferguson were talking about and they werent picked 'carefully' they were the statistics that the two managers were talking about.
