Wenger the Voyuer?
October 31, 2005 || posted by whitney
Some quotes from JM's response:
"When you are on game number 11 and you still can't win away from home, and when you are without Thierry Henry and he can't win a game, he should be worried about them.
"I might be worried if my team made a defensive mistake. I shouldn't be worried about what Arsenal did at Tottenham. They are always speaking about the other families.
"I don't know if he wants my job, I don't know. He loves Chelsea."

JM Hits Out at Lackluster Beattie
Jose Mourinho has warned the rest of the Premiership that the only way they can stop Chelsea winning is to rely on a dose of good luck against them.
The Portuguese coach also responded to Everton striker James Beattie's claim that the best way to stop Chelsea is to out-muscle them by suggesting that he paid more attention to his poor goal record at Goodison Park instead.

Chelsea 5, Bolton 1
October 16, 2005 || posted by whitney
Back from the long international break, the Boys in Blue restarted the title push with a stormer. No dropped points today, and breathtaking display of skill created 4 goals in 10 second half minutes.
Drogba 52
Lampard 55
Lampard 59
Drogba 61
Gudjohnsen 74
Braces from Lamps and Drogba got the ball moving.
It was a tail of two halves. Bolton played well in the first, and the Chelsea offense was misfiring. Essien was lukcy to escape a red on a danerous tackle.
At the half, JM, determined not to drop any points, brought on Gudjohnsen for Del Horno. Then the magic happened, and the rest is history.
9 games, 100%.

All the major UK newspapers have acknowledged the quality of the Blues team.
Perhaps the strongest defense came from former Liverpool great, and BBC Columnist, Alan Hansen.

Total domination ensured that both the 100% start continued, and the glorious Kop have a -2 goal differential.
Lampard 27 (pen)
Duff 43
Joe Cole 63
Geremi 82
Drogba was fantastic, drawing the spot kick and assisting on the Duff goal.
Chelsea now sit 10 and 11 points up on Man U, and Arsenal. Liverpool, in addition to their negative goal differential, now sit 17 points back only 8 games into the season.

Respect Us - The Special One
The stats side with JM, we are the best team in England. Possibly the best in the world.
'It's eight matches, eight victories, 18 goals - I think it's time to respect my players, my team and Chelsea Football Club,' Mourinho told Sky Sports 1.
'I am saying we are a very good football team with everything a football team should have - big ambition, defensive quality, attacking quality, individual players, creativity.'
