Word has it that Jose Mourinho tried to enter the referee’s room after a nightmare first-half against West Ham on Saturday.
The initial 45 minutes saw Chelsea concede a goal to Mauro Zarate on the 17th minute, have a ‘goal’ by Kurt Zouma correctly disallowed for just not crossing the line, and a legitimate Cesc Fabregas effort chalked off for offside.
The officials’ room is out of bounds, and word at Upton Park has it that a furious Mourinho went looking for ref Jonathan Moss at half-time to give him a piece of his mind.
The second-half saw the miserable looking Portuguese dismissed to the stands, and the speculation is that Jose’s attempted break-in was the reason.
Chelsea went on to lose the match – Andy Carroll’s late winner cancelling out an equaliser from Gary Cahill.
Mourinho has been sent to the stands. Post match interview might be interesting.
