“Just like that” – Chelsea lose grip on title

For those of you that saw the BBC Match of the Day interview with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho, will no doubt have witnessed the melt down of the “Special One” in front of the TV cameras. For many it signified the pressure that premier league managers are under whilst it also allowed us a glimpse into the mind of the somewhat eccentric Chelsea manager. In the words of the late comedy magician Tommy Cooper, Chelsea lost the title against Liverpool on Saturday “Just like that“. After going 1-0 up just before half time, they allowed Coutinho to turn on the edge of the area then bend the ball with his left foot, around the outstretched goalkeeper Begovic.
