teddy Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Chelsea chief Jose Mourinho has already begun The Premiership mind-games ahead of the new season - two months before a ball is due to be kicked. Even before the fixture lists are announced Mourinho claims he already knows his side will get a bad hand when they are confirmed by the Premier League next week. "I think in England you say, 'I have looked into my crystal ball'. So this is what I saw," "For sure our first game will be away from home" "After international matches, Arsenal always play at home, Manchester United and Liverpool are 50-50, Chelsea always away." "So, with an international match on the 16th and the first Premier League game on the 19th, Chelsea will be away." "Players will arrive back from their national teams on the 17th in the afternoon and we travel on the 18th to play away on the 19th." "Last season was unbelievable. After the Champions League, Chelsea was nearly always away, especially after the group phase matches." "There is protection to some clubs, nothing for others. I don't know the intention but I know the reality, it is impossible to deny it. "Sometimes matches after Champions League can be on a Sunday or Monday to have one more day to rest. Never for us." "I am here for the third year, I still don't know who is in control but for other teams it looks like perfect fixtures." "In the Christmas period, one day between matches." "Again other teams have two days' rest between matches. But these situations make us stronger, because we know from the beginning, we are not in an easy position." "Last game of the season, for sure away, two years running for us at Newcastle." "Arsenal at home. Man United and Liverpool, we will see."

sayjann Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 nothing new,he said roughly the same thing during last Season. i wonder what his excuse would be if the PL fixtures were announced before the CL fixtures?. i suppose he would claim that UEFA fixed the CL to give a disadvantage to Chelsea.........
