ghimpheng SG Thursday, November 30, 2006 Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has warned Manchester United that his side are primed to step up the pressure on the Premiership leaders. United remain three points ahead of second-placed Chelsea after both teams won on Wednesday. But Mourinho believes his side's 1-0 win at Bolton has given them the momentum as they chase United, who defeated Everton 3-0 at Old Trafford. Chelsea, who drew with Sir Alex Ferguson's side on Sunday, have emerged unscathed from a testing two-match away trip and Mourinho senses the reigning champions are ready to make a move for pole position. Michael Ballack's header in first-half injury time was enough to beat Bolton and Mourinho said: "It was a good period for us. To come here and to Manchester and go home with the same distance is very positive. "I don't think we will take a lot of time to be top of the league. If you tell me when we play at home it is three points difference, I would not be very sad because it would be all in our hands. "Now is our time to turn things round. I like to be first but I am very happy with this situation."
red_amoeba SG whats wrong w/ cavalho? He's one of the few defenders who can score goals like John Terry.
Inzaghi SG the league only going into dec, still long way to go..christmas period will be a testing one (many back to back matches)...anything can happen..top players like lampard, terry, robben, drogba n others may join Petr Czech…
Inzaghi SG fully agree....can happen to anyone in any teams..when players are tired, desparate, anything can happen.. not only better depth, they got more $$!!!!..AB can easily give $100M during jan transfer window to buy anyone they wan...
dragg SG thats why i think they stand a much better chance of winning the title for a 3rd consecutive year.
