"See, I won the title at Chelsea against United,” he said. “We beat United 3-0 and we won the title at Stamford Bridge in 2005-06. However it was not the end of the world. Manchester United didn’t finish. It was just football”, Mourinho said.
“The simplest thing i can say is that we need to win, we don’t want to offer them the game. We want to go there, compete and win the game if possible. That’s the best thing i can say.
“It is normal that you want to delay the champions from becoming champions. We would love to beat them, we would love Spurs to win them next week, we would really like them to be champions as late as possible. “I suppose Chelsea could sense the same because they would really like to be [reigning] champions as long as possible, until late April or the beginning of May. That is normal in football, but in this situation obviously they [City] are going to be champions due to the fact that there is a very significant distinction.”

“I assume they may be going to beat Chelsea’s [record] overall from 2004-05 [of 95 points] and that does not make it easy for the teams coming at the back of them and even for teams with high quality seasons, with [a] positive number of points and with massive improvement on the previous season.
“In our case, I think we've 8 points greater than last season, extra goals scored, less goals conceded, but Manchester city made it impossible for the others.
“So, what do you need me to mention? Congratulations for the awesome premier League season they're doing? And the instant they turn out to be champions, if you want to be sooner rather than later? i will react the same manner that other people reacted after I won three titles in this country.”
