London, April 17 (IANS) Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes the Blues receive the most social media abuse and criticism because they are “boring”.

According to anti-discrimination group Kick It Out, there are 130,000 abusive Premier League posts on social media this season and Chelsea leads the table, reports bbc.com.

The coach, whose team is sitting pretty at the perch of the Premier League table seven points ahead of second placed side Arsenal, said: “I think it is because we are boring.

“We have been top of the league since day one. That is something people in this country don’t like.”
