Premier League: Jose Mourinho wants Manchester City to win at Tottenham A City win will keep them a point clear of Chelsea - as long as Mourinho's side defeat West Ham at Stamford Bridge - but it will leave Spurs further off the pace in the race for a top-four finish and a Champions League spot. "I prefer them to win, because if they win and if we win, we open a gap to Tottenham," said Mourinho, whose side will face City on February 3. "If we have a gap of 10 to Tottenham, 12 to United, you have a safe spot in the Champions League. "If you can have a safe spot by February and play the rest of the season without that pressure, it would be fantastic for us." Champions League qualification is Mourinho's primary target on his return to Stamford Bridge after again playing down his side's title prospects. "That's an objective I don't want to fail," he added. "We cannot fail, because as a club we need that and as a team we need that too, because we want to play Champions League. "As a team it's very important for the evolution of the team, as a club it's very important for financial reasons, for prestigious reasons. "The top four, if possible the top three, is the big, big, big objective and it's a difficult objective. "If everybody is there, you go to the end of the season under big pressure, so for us it will be better for City to win." http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9139119/premier-league-jose-mourinho-wants-manchester-city-to-win-at-tottenham Wenger in disguise?

Giving at Arsenal just draw, we need to win this one. Can't go on about fucking it up now at this point of the season.

Good day for us. Can't fuck up tomorrow!

Red card to Flaminin! Come on Saints!

That SOTON game is really good. Hopefully the Saints can get some points.

Too much intelligence there for me. I just find it easier to make sense of things with a book smack straight across the face Take that you ignorant blind fool!

I expect this thread to be on fire today if Mata scores/assist. Time to bring out the popcorn

This reminds me of the Bastian potential transfer a few years ago. We where interested, he was flattered, but eventually sign a contract to stay. I foresee a similar outcome.

This is why the yes man was perfect for them. I really don't see a better match for real Madrid then Carlo. He likes to play attacking fútbol and is very easy going. At the moment his team is ready to challenge for everything. They like city as mourinho put it are the finish product. So we shall see what Carlo can do this season.

Speaking of city. How has ffp let their etihad sponsored deal stand? If that deal is legit by ffp standard then why Roman has not done something similar?

The club want a bigger Stadium but they can't expand the bridge. Too many hazards they said.Add to that the cpo won't cooperate. That could change if mourinho a man all Chelsea trust starts promoting a move to a new stadium.

Looks like cabaye going to psg.

Well now that we seen the full extent of support that mourinho has gotten from the club and fans then I hope he takes it to the next level. And that's to help push for a new stadium. Surely with mourinho backing it, the club should have no problem moving forward.

Comment: Juan Mata £37m move to Manchester United shows that even Europe's richest clubs must accept the new FFP rules http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/comment-juan-mata-37m-move-to-manchester-united-shows-that-even-europes-richest-clubs-must-accept-the-new-ffp-rules-9086243.html

A humble guy willing to give everything is a great start. I remember when mourinho was mentioning how he managed big players like ronalda, Drogba lampard and such. But that he also managed player with not great talent but great attitude for work and such. It was more like if he was talking about his players at inter. And truly he didn't have great players like that of real Madrid quality but some of them gave themselves completely to the cause at inter. It is no surprise to me why for mourinho azpilicueta has become one of his go to guys. Because despite not being as amazing as Cole, his attitude and work rate is immense. I don't know nothing about salah but I do know that if he comes with that humbleness and desire to give everything for the team no matter where he plays, he will also become a go to player for mourinho.

Well what's worse? The United wanking or Liverpool? I sure do hope totteham make the top 4. Everton would be awesome but I think spurs got a better chance.

Mikel best game ever for Chelsea was champions League final. After that he hasn't been that great. Thank God we got matic.

Is this a loan? Or he gone for good?

Yeah agree. I do feel that if the club and mourinho where to sell courtois with out bringing him back will be moronic. Selling Mata was great and understandable but this is not. He has to come back.

Welcome. Don't expect much this season as he needs to adapt but hopefully by the end of the season he will be better settled.

With Matic in the team, it starting to feel that the puzzle is almost complete. Just need that striker and we are set. Pity that we have to wait till the summer, but oh well.

Can we send more players to Benfica? :blue scalf: But this time with a buy back clause or even on loan!

Damn what a save!

Indeed he can be. We have yet to replace Malouda/Kalou, those players that offer some quality for brief moments and frustrate the heck out of you!

Damn men, then your one of the few who can use a computer at your age. My grandma of 80 would not know where to start!
