Joe Cole
Cole and Rio ready for showdown
Date: 30-04-2006 10:08
Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole insists Jose Mourinho's side are in fine shape as they bid to claim their second successive Barclays Premiership title against Manchester United on Saturday.
The Blues only need a point to win back-to-back titles and Cole believes the squad have shrugged off the disappointment of their FA Cup semi-final defeat at the hands of Liverpool last weekend.
Chelsea lost 2-1 at Old Trafford but Cole said the memory of the defeat has been banished by a solid week training at their Cobham headquarters.
"We've had a good time in training this week, working hard," revealed the England midfielder.
"Last Saturday's gone and now all we can do is achieve the remarkable feat of putting back-to-back titles together, and we can do that this Saturday.
"I always enjoy training and everybody has been looking good. It's going to be a big game in Chelsea's history.
"Everyone wants to be playing but it is down to the manager and he has a fully fit squad more or less to pick from."
Cole's former West Ham team-mate and fellow England squad member Rio Ferdinand is already looking ahead to next season after praising Chelsea for their efforts this season.
