Chelsea boss Mourinho ready to lift title against West Ham

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho believes they'll have the title wrapped up with a month to spare this season.
Mourinho has targeted the home clash with West Ham on April 9 at Stamford Bridge as his potential decider with the Blues already 15 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
"We are champions, we want to be champions again and these victories are not just statistics - it's about winning silverware," said Mourinho.
"There are 14 matches to go and now we know we need eight victories.
So now we can go into countdown and when we get eight victories we are champions."
Mourinho's plan has already seen the West Ham game moved to a noon kick-off for television coverage.
The Portuguese boss has a habit of predicting events before they take place as last season he announced at Christmas that Chelsea would win the title at Bolton on April 30, and that is exactly what happened.
Mourinho added: "We are in a good position. We have a minimum of 15 points from Manchester United. Arsenal is far. Tottenham is far.
"We have the Premiership in our hands. We cannot lose it." -
Ball is round.... anything can happen.

he will eat his words if his prediction is wrong.
but i dont think he cares as long as chelsea wins the title.
and frankly there is also a possibility that they might win it earlier. -
either way, they will win it.
my respect to them for winning it back to back. -
me too.
they have proven to be the most consistent team in the premiership. -
he meant that the points difference will be very big that what he meant by wrapping it upOriginally posted by Patrik:How abt they talking abt wrapping the title by christmas 05? -
