Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has had a dig at Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson after their stalemate yesterday against Sunderland.
Mourinho rapped: "Manchester United can lose the Premiership for a third consecutive year. For a big, big club like that to lose the Premiership for three consecutive years is not an easy situation.
"It depends on the personality. But knowing myself as I know, three years without being champion would be very difficult for me to cope with."
Mourinho's men can move nine points clear at the top by beating Bolton at the Reebok today.
And the Portuguese coach dreams of rubbing it in by crushing Fergie at Stamford Bridge in two weeks.
He said: "We're not in a situation where we can say we're close friends because we're not.
"I respect him a lot and until now he's always shown respect to me. There was a little problem when I was in Porto after a game. Roy Keane saw a red card and he was not happy but what is that? I respect people who respect me and until now there are no problems."
