Chelsea go for three in a row

With the English Premier League kicking off this weekend, Chelsea begin their bid to become only the fifth team in 119 years to win a third successive English league soccer title this weekend.

There are only 4 English clubs to have won the highest division in three successive seasons. Do you know which ones they are? Do you know what three successive years they won the championship?

There is only one manager that has been in charge for all three of his side's successive championships. Do you know who he is?

By the way, if Mourinho wins the EPL this season for the third straight time, that will mean that he will have won five successive league championships (having won two successive Portuguese titles with Porto before moving to London).

Only Huddersfield Town (1924-26), Arsenal (1933-35), Liverpool (1982-84) and Manchester United (1999-2001) have strung together a hat-trick while United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is the only manager to have been in charge for all three of his side's wins.

Damn I hate Chelski. Hopefully they will continue the form that gave them that big L against Boro. Mourinho has got to be the biggest whiney ***** out there..."it's not fair that our club has sucked until we got bought by a Russian mob boss, we should be a 1 seed." Shut the hell up, and start thinking of excuses why you couldn't get out of the group stage in the CL, why you lost to the MLS all stars, yet still think you are the best team in the world. Jackass.
