    "Full-on celebrations at Stamford Bridge. The turf is festooned by blue streamers and even the normally impassive Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is wreathed in smiles.

    "The DJ going through the card - "We Are The Champions" and "Blue Is The Colour" - in honour of this very fine Chelsea team who fully deserve to be crowned champions.

    "The notion that Chelsea are boring smacks of jealousy from their rivals who have struggled to win a title. Not much sign of boredom from Chelsea's fans at the moment."

The manager gives me a lot of feelings and I can play my best football on the pitch which is the most important thing. I know the team need me and a player like me. I am here to score, and this season all the players did well."

    Trophies

    Is Jose Mourinho the Premier League's greatest manager?

    In guiding Chelsea to their fourth Premier League title, he has secured the 22nd trophy of his career.

    Following his latest triumph, Mourinho now averages a trophy every 34 matches as a manager.

    Since taking charge of Porto in 2002, the self-proclaimed 'Special One' has swept all before him - both domestically and in European competition.

    Read more about his managerial stats here.

    Chelsea captain John Terry speaking to Sky Sports: "It's an unbelievable feeling. We've worked so hard, so to get over the line is great. It was a bit nervy - they are a good side and made it difficult. Thankfully Eden got the goal and we won the game.

    "One person said - they know who they are - I couldn't play twice in a week and I proved them wrong. I've got great players and a great manager.

    "This is what I live for. It's been five years since we've won it. The first one was special and you go four or five years without it and that hurts. So I'll really enjoy it today."

    Diego Costa hasn't quite opted for the John Terry-esque full kit celebration.

    The injured striker joins in the party in his Chelsea top but opts to wear his jeans.

    He watches on as some of his team-mates perform the obligatory dive towards the home fans. Great scenes - for Chelsea fans anyway.
