Jose Mourinho: "I don't know a thing about football!"

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has hinted that Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was not a suitable winner of the Premier League's Player of the Season award and said he would have picked Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko to claim the prize.

As much as I love to criticize the guy, he was very clearly miles ahead of his closest competitor in the "best player" race this year. In fact, I think the only other player within shouting distance of the "best player" conversation was Daniel Sturridge.

Win or lose tomorrow, great job this year by Brendan Rodgers and his strikers. I look forward to Suarez vs. Lahm in the UCLl!
