Blues manager issues title warning

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas has heaped praised on his team everyone from players to the technical staff and has sent a message to the Blues' title rivals that last season's runners-up have hit top gear.

The West Londoners were dominant in last weekend's 4-1 thrashing of Swansea City but a late lapse in concentration during the midweek's Champions League clash at Valencia led to a disappointing 1-1 draw.
