Gary Neville has said it is "absolute nonsense" the suggestions that Chelsea are a boring team.

The Blues have come in for criticism for recent performances that have wielded results but failed to get pulses racing.

Jose Mourinho vehemently defended his team after their 0-0 draw with Arsenal last weekend, suggesting it was more boring not to win league titles, something their opponents last Sunday have failed to do since 2004.

England assistant manager Neville agrees with the Chelsea boss. Asked during Sky Sports' coverage of the Blues' match with Leicester where he stood on the debate he said: "It's absolute nonsense."

The former Manchester United defender explained that it is winning that matters.

"People call the Kevin Keegan Newcastle team of 1996 entertaining - no-on remembers them now. People remember winners."

Neville said that the rest of the teams that were expected to challenge should take some of the blame for the meek end to the season.

"You never go through a whole season brilliant. The rest of the league has been poor."
