Nobi me do am, na Baba God. I mean what can I
say?! Is this what Jose Mourinho is thinking?
|
Chelsea have been accused of being boring but they will not
mind one bit if they beat Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to win
the Premier League title for the first time in five years.
Jose Mourinho's side were
jeered by Arsenal fans during last weekend's 0-0 draw after a season in which
they have been devastatingly effective but occasionally short on sparkle.
A 3-1 win against
Leicester City on Wednesday, however, means the London club are three points
away from a first league title since Carlo Ancelotti led them to the double in
2010.
With a 13-point lead at
the top, Mourinho is within touching distance of a third league championship at
Stamford Bridge after back-to-back triumphs in 2005 and 2006 during his first
stint in charge.
And with the champagne on
ice, the Portuguese coach is not worried about what people are saying about his
team.
GRAPHITTI NEWS based on monitored reports learnt:
Mourinho told Sky Sports, "I know what I feel
in relation to my work in the past two years, I don't need other people to recognize
what we are."
"I know exactly what
we are. We are what every team would like to be."
Arsenal, in third, remain
the only side who can mathematically catch the leaders, having five games left
to play to Chelsea's four.
Arsene Wenger's team, who
face a resurgent Hull City on Monday, are level on 67 points with last season's
champions and second place Manchester City, who have played a game extra and
travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Fourth-placed Manchester
United have suffered two defeats in a row but they host West Bromwich Albion on
Saturday hoping to cement their Champions League qualification bid.
United's cause has been
helped by fifth-placed Liverpool going off the boil and Tuesday's 1-0 defeat
against Hull left Brendan Rodgers's side seven-points adrift of their north
west rivals.
Queens Park Rangers are
the visitors to Anfield on Saturday and the 19th-placed side are in desperate
need of a victory, although three points against Liverpool would still not be
enough to lift them out of the relegation zone.
Seventeenth-placed
Leicester, one point above 18th-placed Sunderland who host Southampton at the
Stadium of Light, can condemn Newcastle United to an eighth straight league
defeat on Saturday.
Bottom club Burnley, five
points behind Leicester, face West Ham United at Upton Park on Saturday having
won one of their previous 13 league fixtures.
