To be fair, Chelsea should have conceded a penalty and at least one red card. I don't like talking about teams 'deserving' to win, but Liverpool were most definitely robbed today.

I think Chelsea will flop at some stage and then leave to the last game where they'll battle it with Arsenal.
Arsenal for the cup

Mourinho's a winner, and he's instilled this belief into his team. They may be stopped if they're trounced by Barca, but otherwise I can't see it happening.

They've turned lampard into a proper little vieira, the Real Vieira has pretty much lost all ambition after trouncing the premiership for so long, and let's face it Keane loves himself too much to care about football.

IF I could be arsed I'd either photoshop him black or cut and paste patrick vieira's head onto that shirt, for the funny but I'm not.
But no-one can disagree, Chelsea have a commanding midfield with hunger... other clubs do not at the moment.

Re: Chelsea will win the league
He's doing a lot more than you could imagine in comparison to previous seasons - sure his form this season hasn't been the best but his spirit keeps the team alive. He actually is the best motivator in the team since Tony Adams. He has that status within the team that 'helps' eradicate any teething problems that may arise.

Go go captain obvious - but while they're actually playing the manager doesn't have as great an influence on their confidence.

Helps but is not quintessential, especially when your leader is out of form yet playing in a lynchpin position in your team that could be filled by someone young and still hungry.

You don't beat a team which doesn't concede goals.
PS Vieira's been prick poor this year. If you need someone to motivate through their presence in the squad why don't you just sign a crippled four year old who loses another limb if arsenal lose their next game? "His spirit keeps the team alive" has to be one of the best "he's pretty shit right now but I can't criticise him cos he's great (( " comments I've ever seen.

Keane this season is in the top 5 for completed passes, has been generally immense and is the driving force behind United's recovery - he's quite frankly one player they can't replace and unless they can find a similar midfield general sharpish they are going to have a huge hole in the middle of the park. Of Lampard/Keane/Vieira, call me living in the past but I'd have Keane every time because what he lacks in creative ability he more than makes up for in leadership. United seem to still have this siege mentality that has served them well over the years, and right now I'd say they were the most dangerous team, not Chelsea, the only problem is that their early season form has meant the title is probably beyond them.
Mourinho is from what I can see, an excellent manager - constantly having attention to detail, adjusting players positions from the touchline, instilling a belief in the players and has gone for the failsafe option of starting with the defensive organisation and doing it untill he's satisfied it's perfect, then building on it with an attack to match. Some say he's arrogant, but he's nigh on always bang on, the only real exception being that when he kind of claimed that Lampard is better than Gerrard.
I for one doubt that Chelsea will throw it away under this manager unless Arsenal go on some kind of special run (which they don't look like doing at the moment) and they get done by Arsenal and Man U.
Wouldn't be shocked if they won all 4, though looking at their injury list at the moment I think they might struggle if it doesn't start improving.

"Like Steven Gerrard, [Lampard] is one of the best in the world," said Mourinho. "It's difficult to say who is the best because some midfield players are more defensive, some are more offensive. I would say Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard can do both things: they can have a defensive job in the team, and they can attack because they have legs and power and skills for that."
That's from the same interview as "I don't think he's better than Frank Lampard. My players are always better than other players."
It's fairly obvious when taking them together that the latter statement was taken out of context by the media.
Oh, and I would prefer Lampard in my team. He's less injury prone, doesn't get booked (or sent off) with anywhere near the frequency (although Gerrard has reduced this recently)... Being the best player in the world ever who scores a hat trick every minute doesn't mean anything if you're constantly out of the team for one reason or another.

Gerrard is the best midfielder in the Premiership.
