Gunners get it easier than us, says Mourinho

JOSE MOURINHO has stirred up another likely war of words at the top by telling rivals Arsenal they are being given an easier ride than Chelsea in the title race by television scheduling.

The Blues boss is clearly unhappy that second-placed Arsenal have an extra day’s rest more than his own stars over the crowded holiday period.

Chelsea snatched two late goals on Tuesday to win at Portsmouth and go eight points clear, while Arsenal had to wait until last night for their trip to Newcastle.
