Keith Punter: Similarities between Chelsea and Mayweather: both masters of defence, both 'boring', both too good...

Stephen Bellamy: Remember last year when Palace derailed Liverpool's title bid. Let's hope they make it an annual tradition.

Rob Millward: Really would love to see 3-0 with Hazard, JT and Drogba scoring... Would be the perfect ending!

"Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho warned after the win at Leicester City that he did not want supporters "walking to Stamford Bridge celebrating" as they seek the win they need to clinch the Premier League title.

"No sign of that but certainly a real air of expectation around the stadium. Chelsea will win the title sooner of later but Crystal Palace's mixture of genuine pace and determination has proved a useful weapon on their travels under Alan Pardew so there may yet be a delay.

"Still odds-on Chelsea celebrating their third title under Mourinho later this afternoon."

Things are getting tasty in League One where MK Dons now lead Yeovil 3-0 as they approach half time.

Not that Jose Mourinho cares about the ever growing collection of medals - it is the memories Jose Mourinho enjoys gathering.

He said: "I have replicas of every cup I won and I don't care about the replicas. Or the medals. The meaning is the important thing."

"He added: "What stays forever is the feeling, the emotion, the memory of the moment. I have clear in my memory every one of these moments I lived.

"You have like a flash of the people you love most, the people who are with you, a little bit of the most important moments that lead to that trophy. "It's like a quick flash. And, with me, five minutes later, move on."

Former West Brom manager Alan Irvine: "It surprised me a little how scathing John Carver was in public. It's very difficult to work with players if you are too severe in what you say in public. It is going to be a difficult conversation today or tomorrow when John has a chat with Mike Williamson. Saying things to players in the confines of the dressing room is one thing but another thing out of it."

More from Mike Williamson in response to being accused of getting sent off deliberately against Leicester by manager John Carver:

"Moving forward, I will do whatever I can to help my teammates prepare for the next two games and fight to get back into the team when I'm next available.

"I've had the honour to play for Newcastle United for five years now, and I can genuinely say that I feel privileged to play for this football club. I would never do anything intentionally to hurt the team or its supporters."

Newcastle defender Mike Williamson has just released a statement in response to being accused of getting sent off deliberately by his own manager John Carver yesterday.

He said: "I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the Newcastle United supporters and my fellow team-mates for getting sent-off during yesterday's game.

"There was absolutely no intent to hurt Jamie Vardy or get sent off, but I recognise that I should have been more composed and measured in my determination to win the ball. Unfortunately, it did the one thing that I never wanted to do, and that was to hurt the team."
