Didier Drogba blasts Jose Mourinho directly in the face with champagne

Chelsea TV provided some impressively in-depth analysis of the team’s celebration after clinching the Premier League title with a win against Crystal Palace. Included in that analysis was a clip that will make Jose Mourinho’s supporters and detractors equally happy.

For his supporters, the site of Didier Drogba playfully spraying him with champagne and then embracing his old friend is a heart warming moment. For his haters, seeing Drogba blind him with a blast of bubbly eyeball torture from point-blank range is a brief moment of schadenfreude.

Chelsea players pull off lunch table trick, celebrate like they’ve won the league

A video posted by didierdrogba (@didierdrogba) on

Jose Mourinho and John Terry were quick to give their responses to critics labeling Chelsea as boring and now Didier Drogba has made his case with an Instagram video.

Captioned “Boring boring chelseaaa!!!!!” the video has seven Chelsea players (Loic Remy, Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Eden Hazard, Drogba, Thibaut Courtois, and John Obi Mikel sitting across from each other at the lunch table. They head the ball across the table and down the line until Mikel finishes off the routine (a daring choice) with a fall away header into a strategically placed bin beside the table. They then celebrate like they just sealed the Premier League title.

This is what you do when you’re 10-points clear at the end of April.

If it continued…. (Arsenal v Chelsea)

Arsenal and Chelsea settled for a scoreless draw at the Emirates, extending Jose Mourinho’s unbeaten streak against Arsene Wenger to 13 matches and putting Chelsea a step closer to a seemingly inevitable Premier League title.

But while others debate tactics, we must ask, “What if it conitnued?”

But his Friday press conference ahead of facing second-place Arsenal might have produced his favorite question yet.
