O Special One em discurso directo, após uma semana menos boa (usando uma escala única para JM):

"O nosso empate em Goodison Park deixou muita gente feliz e com mais esperança. Estava toda a gente à espera que o Chelsea não ganhasse um jogo da Premier League. Quando perdermos, esse dia será feriado neste país".

"Espero que a partir de agora as equipas acreditem que podem ganhar ao Chelsea porque até aqui só têm pensado em não perder e em defender, defender, defender... Sabemos que todos os jogos serão difíceis para nós e que não vamos ganhar sempre, mas continuamos a dizer que somos os melhores".

"Não somos super-homens, mas nenhuma equipa tem conseguido melhores resultados do que nós em Inglaterra. Ceder dois empates não é um drama, embora o de quarta-feira com o Charlton tenha sido mau porque fomos eliminados de uma competição. Mesmo uma derrota será normal, pois estamos a falar de uma competição como a Premier League".

"Penso que querem que eu diga alguma coisa para acabar com as dúvidas. Querem que diga que vamos ser campeões? Então, está bem... Aconteça o que acontecer nos próximos dois ou três jogos, seremos campeões. Não interessam os resultados dos jogos com o Blackburn nem da próxima jornada com o Manchester United, porque vamos ser campeões".

"Estamos preparados para tudo, mesmo para adversários que joguem duro ou apostem no futebol aéreo. Se pensam que somos crianças com medo de lutar, estão mesmo muito enganados".

"O que não somos é uma equipa suja, nem estamos preparados para o futebol sujo. Os árbitros é que têm de estar preparados para isso. Estamos prontos para jogos honestos, como o que fizemos com o Liverpool".

AGORA CONTRA WENGER, MAIS JM...

Wenger is a voyeur, snipes Mourinho

Arsenal manager accused of obsession with Chelsea Frenchman should focus on his own team's failings

Jose Mourinho has launched a stinging attack on Arsène Wenger, calling the Arsenal manager "a voyeur" and mocking his Premiership rival's poor start to the season by saying the Frenchman should speak less about Chelsea and concentrate on improving his own team's results.

Mourinho was clearly irritated by comments Wenger made on Friday when questioned about Chelsea's draw at Everton and Carling Cup defeat at home to Charlton. He has responded with his most fierce criticism to date of Wenger and claimed the Arsenal manager has shown he is worried about Chelsea.

Wenger was widely reported on Saturday to have said that Chelsea will have lost "the big belief" because of those setbacks, though he actually said "a little bit of the belief has gone". He also claimed it brought "a little hope" for those trying to catch the champions and disputed Mourinho's remark that Chelsea had not lost against Charlton because they went out in a penalty shoot-out. "When you are out of the cup you lose," he said.

Mourinho responded in characteristically outspoken fashion after seeing Chelsea reassert their authority with a 4-2 win at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. "I think he is one of these people who is a voyeur," he said. "He likes to watch other people. There are some guys who, when they are at home, they have a big telescope to see what happens in other families. He speaks and speaks and speaks about Chelsea."

Wenger is consistently asked about Mourinho's team at his pre-match briefings and invariably offers an opinion. He has said several times that Chelsea are more vulnerable than their early-season results might suggest and has refused to rule his team out of the title race despite trailing their London rivals by 14 points.

"It bothers me because the guy is speaking all the time," Mourinho said. "We never speak about them. You can do it when you are the top and you have a big morale. When you are on game No11 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. He's worried about us, he's always talking about us. It's Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea.

"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. These are our secrets.

"You have to speak about opponents and other things and put some pressure on and pass the message," Mourinho acknowledged, "but when you are doing it every time in the same direction ... They need to work and try to improve. I don't know if he wants my job, I don't know. He loves Chelsea."
