              Not sure we'll psyche out anyone, but we're happy to play on the counter and have players behind the ball - it's an annoying style of play for other teams. Boring to watch maybe, but when you don't have Ronaldo or Rooney in your team you do what you can.
              
              Mourinho is hailed as the best coach in the world, and as a Chelsea fan I love him but our premiership winning teams in 05/06 were pretty damn boring! Inter in the champions league this year were also thoroughly boring, but their defense was an absolute masterclass. They out Chelsea'd Chelsea.
