Mourinho: Why is Chelsea disliked? Because we're 'boring'

A study by Kick It Out found the Premier League leader to be the most targeted club for online abuse, while the Blues coach spoke about possible destinations for Jurgen Klopp.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says the reason his team is disliked and targeted on social media is because the Blues are boring.

A study by anti-discrimination group Kick It Out detailed the Blues as the most abused Premier League team, being the subject of around 20,000 of an estimated 134,400 negative posts made between August and March.

Of all posts directed at teams, 28 percent are race-based while 26 percent center around gender, but when asked by reporters why he thought his team was targeted, Mourinho had other findings.
