Portsmouth keeper David
James has admitted he wants Manchester United to win the
Premiership as Chelsea's title bid is built on 'scabby 1-0
wins'.
James played a large part in frustrating United on Saturday as they
fell to a 2-1 defeat at Fratton Park that leaves Sir Alex
Ferguson's side just three points ahead of the reigning
champions.
With six games left to play the title run-in could be the closest
fought battle in recent years, and James has revealed he is firmly
in Ferguson's corner.
The former Liverpool keeper believes United hold the edge over
their rivals in terms of pure entertainment, likening Jose
Mourinho's side to George Graham's 'boring Arsenal' of the early
1990s.
"Chelsea might fancy themselves now, especially when they have got
to play United at home," said James in The newspaper.
"I fancy Chelsea, too, with their scabby 1-0 wins!
"That is the way they do it. United are all about goals and
fantastic displays, Chelsea are about grinding out results - and
arguably that is the mark of champions.
"As a fan, yes, I'd rather United win. But Chelsea have something
to play for now.
"As much as they aren't battering teams, they are grinding out
results. I'm sure Manchester United have something to think about
now.
"Chelsea are like the old Arsenal sides. They win 1-0 and you call
them a boring side."
