Jose Mourinho conceded Chelsea had `almost' lost the their
grip on the Barclays Premiership title after failing to beat Bolton
at Stamford Bridge. United are now five points clear at the top
after fighting back from two goals down to beat Everton 4-2 at
Goodison Park and with just three games to play, Sir Alex
Ferguson's side are favourites to land the crown.
Mourinho declared: 'I feel sad but I have a big game on Tuesday
night and that's a good thing in this situation. We have no time to
be sad. 'But it is almost lost, almost. In football, almost is
always a big question mark. It is not over because mathematically
there is a chance and when the chance is there, we have to believe
and chase the opportunity you have.
'At this moment we have to win and we have to wait. It is much more
difficult. Manchester United, in this moment, feel very, very
close. They have to lose two games and we have to win all three.
'They don't feel pressure and feel quite confident. They can come
to Stamford Bridge, lose and still be champions. 'They are very,
very close to it.
