Jose in spin over toughest title race yet

PREMIER LEAGUE:

Either way, Jose Mourinho was prepared to make quite the claim yesterday.

The Stamford Bridge boss says winning the league this season would be a greater achievement than breaking Chelsea’s 50-year drought in 2005. To emphasise the point about the volatility of this campaign, Mourinho also claims a team that suffers six defeats out of 38 can still lift the title.
