Claude Makelele in the Screws:
"I saw what Ferguson was saying before we won at Bolton and I was laughing. I thought the guy was really funny. Maybe even ridiculous.
"He was saying United would win against Sunderland and then we would lose at Bolton.
"What can I say? You all know what happened. I didn't bother watching the Sunderland game, though I had a right laugh when I heard United flopped again with that goalless draw.
"It must have been the ref again or did Ferguson not whinge this time?
"It's really funny when someone tries to be clever and is humiliated so spectacularly.
"If I was Ferguson I would stop talking about another team and would concentrate on my team. Like Mourinho does.
"Chelsea are not arrogant. Arrogance is to go public saying another team will lose and then lose yourself.
"Only losers do that. In that sense you could say that Ferguson is a loser. He may have won a lot of things but he doesn't have class.
"He should come out and recognise how good we are and give credit to Mourinho and the players.
"Because, believe me, we are the champions. And we will be the champions again."
