Mourihnio and chelski as a club are creating a siege mentality...the world is against them etc etc etc......obvious and not particularly clever but it can and probably will work and help drive them forwards towards the title....
with the costa ban they are going to be going into the game today with a huge sense of injustice and that is going to make it even harder
The thing is that this is a short-term approach. In the long run it just marks you out as a club of nasty, squealing cloggers, much like Mourinho himself. I think most people in sport will realise that, even if they win the league this year, it will be tarnished by the behaviour of their manager and players not to mention the unprecedented handicapping of the reigning champions.
