Chelsea fans over social media have reasons to believe that Chelsea’s official Twitter account has been taking sly digs at former gaffer Jose Mourinho.
The supporters made their deduction after the Blues tweeted and re-tweeted posts in connection with the number three.
The Manchester United manager returned to Stamford Bridge on 20th October and his side came away with a 2-2 draw.
While the supporters at the stadium were making snide remarks towards Jose, the Portuguese rallied back by holding three fingers up to the crowd, referring to the number of Premier League titles he had won with the club.
Since then, Chelsea FC has been uploading posts in relation to the number three. Prior to the weekend’s Burnley clash, the club tweeted a gif of Jorginho holding up three fingers with the caption “Three hours to go”.

The Blues then uploaded a picture of Ross Barkley also holding up three fingers with the caption: “Ross Barkley is the first Englishman to score in three consecutive Premier League games for the Blues since Frank Lampard, back in 2013!”

They also re-tweeted goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga’s tweet which says: “Great win today! 3 points and clean sheet! Come on @chelseafc”

Some Chelsea fans believe this is no coincidence, one tweeted: “Our account slyly taking the p*** out of Mourinho or…”
Another posted: “Three hours to go? You know what 3 means? 3 titles more than every other manager together.”
