Mikel: Utd don't deserve title
-
MIKEL JOHN OBI has taunted Manchester United by claiming: You donÂ’t deserve the title.
The £16million Chelsea star, who snubbed a move to Old Trafford after a bitter row, insists the Blues have been the better side.
The Nigerian said: “We deserve to win the title because of our hard work, determination, the injury crisis and everything.
“I think United have been lucky at some points this season while we’ve had a long list of injuries to cope with. Overall, we’ve been the better team.
“On the strength of our performances we would be worthy champions, because we gave it our all.”
Chelsea, who are at Arsenal tomorrow, are five points adrift of United, who face local rivals City today.
But Mikel, 20, insists the title race is not yet over. He said: “We’ve played more games than any club in England and still we are showing our ability to win games under any circumstance.
“It’s only a few days to go but I am confident the title will remain at Stamford Bridge. We deserve it.”
United would need to lose at City for Chelsea to have a chance of staging an upset when the two sides clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
Mikel added: “There is a possibility they could slip up.
“Football is certainly an unpredictable game and anything could still happen.”
Mikel joined Chelsea after a huge transfer wrangle, with United getting £12m compensation after he initially signed for the Reds.
He added: “This is where I wanted to be and the manager is someone I adore.”
His boss is already plotting for next season with the help of skipper John Terry and vice-captain Frank Lampard.
Mourinho said: “We are having our meetings and I have been speaking with players.
“I have been trying to explain the vision of the future. We have already the pre-season plans on the walls of the dressing room.”
But Mourinho added: “This season is not over. We have four matches to play, four matches where we can win two trophies. We can win one, or we can win none.”

Right...our defence is so godly a few weeks ago man...And if im not wrong he taunted Liverpool ahead of their UCl clash too... -
He shld jus fugged up himself and concentrate on winning the rest of the games with Chelsea.
It is still mind boggling why he is worth that kinda $$$. -

He is not as good as he proclaimed to be so please ask him to shut his mouth and look at Man united celebrate at Stamford Bridge ok.....12 million...12 Cents also no one want him.....
-
12 Cents also no one want him..... Cannot be so bad lah... I think united paid or at least agreed to pay Lyn $4m for him right? And since chelsea wanted him so badly, they sold him to them for $12m big ones plus Chelsea also have to help pay united's $4m to Lyn... what a good deal, No need to come out money somemore can get 3x back somemore...
-
I think he's just upset that he chose the wrong club to join

This is retribution for not choosing the right club. Same goes for Robben.

Ballack too...man he once described his ideal playing style lor...what wingbacks attack and all..which is Man utd's current syleOriginally posted by Rock^Star:This is retribution for not choosing the right club. Same goes for Robben. -
Ballack cannot make it. Heng we din waste the $$.Originally posted by lpx88:Ballack too...man he once described his ideal playing style lor...what wingbacks attack and all..which is Man utd's current syle -
If I remember correctly, Robben had wanted to go Man U. But the deal didn't happen because talks fell through between club representatives, not by Robben's choice. Robben went Chelsea with the mindset of making Man U regret they didn't try harder to secure his services.Originally posted by Rock^Star:This is retribution for not choosing the right club.

I admire Robben, he's no less dangerous than Ronaldo but he's too injury prone. Ron is way much fitter.Originally posted by SumOne:If I remember correctly, Robben had wanted to go Man U.

Ballack good lah. One header from him and the game can be won. He just wasn't utilised well in Chelsea.Originally posted by Spica:Ballack cannot make it. Heng we din waste the $$.
Lampard's fault again? He screwed Gerrard in England and now he's done the same to Ballack. -
No kidding!? Wah... if liddat sure a dream team in terms of flank play wor...Originally posted by SumOne:If I remember correctly, Robben had wanted to go Man U.

Imagine the speed, skills, trickery and divings... -
I agree, Robben always manages to impress when he plays.Originally posted by Rock^Star:I admire Robben, he's no less dangerous than Ronaldo but he's too injury prone. Ron is way much fitter. -
On the other hard, if Man U already secured Robben as a winger, there's a chance they may not even go for Ronaldo unless they get rid of Giggs. Ronaldo may be hot property now but when he bought over, he was still unproven. What were the chances Fergie would sacrifice one of his most loyal servants for a relative unknown at that time.Originally posted by Bontakun:No kidding!?

Imagine the speed, skills, trickery and divings...Robben travelled to London and met with Manchester United coach Alex Ferguson. Ferguson's offer came in much too low for PSV's and/or Robben's liking; Eindhoven chairman Harry van Raaij told Manchester United the most that their €7 million offer would buy them was a shirt with Robben's autograph. Almost immediately, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich offered € 18 million (£ 12.1 million), and PSV accepted.[9] The rest of his season with PSV was disappointing. He injured his hamstring twice and missed several games.[10][11] By the end of the season, Robben scored five times in 23 Eredivisie matches.

Rotation loh. It really is a dilema to choose IF Robben was in Manu at that time. Depending on the time 'supposedly' Robben went to Manu before Ronaldo then maybe Ronaldo may not be on the fast rise as of now. IF 'supposedly' Robben went to Manu after Ronaldo joined, then its a battle for both of them.Originally posted by SumOne:On the other hard, if Man U already secured Robben as a winger, there's a chance they may not even go for Ronaldo unless they get rid of Giggs.

In any case, its also considered good that Robben and Ronaldo are not in the same team (in this case Manu or Chelsea) for both of them have ample space and time to prove themselves.
For the case of Robben, he should strengthen himself and learn how to take care of himself so as not to injure himself so easily. I really miss his mazy runs and trickeries. He is the livewire of Chelsea besides Joe Cole.
Missed the 4-1-2-2-1 formation with both of them on the flanks.
