The Portuguese (pictured) made the comments to the Eastern Daily Press, external earlier this week.

"Obviously he's new to playing over here and hasn't read the history books," Chambers told me.

"In the short term they've been in the Premier League, but you only have to look above the badge on our shirt to see where we're at [three stars representing the Blues' league title, FA Cup and UEFA Cup wins].

"Someone like him is not going to have any effect on what we're thinking towards the game.

"I've played against him a few times and he's got a lot to say for himself, so we'll see where we're at come 2 o'clock on Sunday."

The family of a eight-year-old boy who died say they are "hugely disappointed, confused and further disillusioned" following the final court ruling in the Honey Rose optometrist case.

Ms Rose, 36, of Newham in east London, was initially convicted of gross negligence manslaughter for failing to diagnose a condition in Vincent Barker's eyes which indicated fluid on his brain.

The decision of the courts, said Jo and Ian Barker, "further blurs the criminal benchmark for professional cases of neglect, medical or otherwise, that result in death".

They said: "Heartbreakingly for us that means our little boy's case now allows individuals to be less accountable and eradicates the gravity of the message to healthcare practitioners and other professionals, that clear breaches of their duty of care, that contribute to death, could result in a conviction of gross negligence manslaughter."

The statement continues by saying the have no option but to accept the final ruling of the courts.
