The manner of the Chelsea coachs latest triumph was not the most spectacular aspect of the victory, however. No, the standout stat of the weekend is that Mourinho has won 100 league matches with the Blues quicker than any other manager in English history. Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, Rafa Benitez, Kenny Dalglish, Gerard Houllier, Kevin Keegan, David OLeary (a surprise one), David Moyes and six others have all reached 100 wins. But no one has done it as fast as Mourinho. Indeed, the Portuguese has managed the record in 142 games, while his nearest rival Fergie did it in 162. Wenger, meanwhile, did it in 179. All of this, bear in mind, while STILL being unbeaten at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League... Love him or loathe him, Mourinhos Chelsea record is certainly impressive. Of course it is nice and 100 victories in the Premier League is obviously one more fantastic thing for my career, Mourinho said after Sundays win over United. But the most important thing is really to win the match. It is three important points for us because it now opens a gap between us and Man United and Liverpool and we are still in contact with Arsenal and Manchester City.
