Jose Mourinho continued in his press conference yesterday to push his agenda of a conspiracy by the footballing authorities against Chelsea according to The Mirror.
All this comes despite being handed a charge of misconduct by the FA after his comments about the referee following the game with Southampton.
Speaking with journalists yesterday the Portuguese manager drew a comparison between himself and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger to illustrate how he thinks there is one standard for Jose Mourinho and then another for the rest of the managers in the Premiership.
Referring to the pushing incident at Stamford Bridge last October as an example:
With Chelsea and with me the reactions are different. Do you think if I push a manager in the technical area that I don’t have a stadium ban? I have a stadium ban.
“So referees are not guilty, they want to do their best but clearly there are measures and there are ways of reacting and clearly with my club and in relation to myself there are different standards, it’s as simple as that and you know that.
“I’ll tell you a good example. Was it a penalty in the game Stoke versus Man United? The Smalling handball? Everybody thinks so. Did you see big noise around it? I didn’t.
“Would you think such a pen against Chelsea would have a reaction in the media and with managers in the same way after that reaction? I don’t think so.
“After that the reaction would be double or treble so obviously a referee needs to feel free, relaxed and with no pressure to do the best they can.”
The heading in the Mirror read “PARANOID” so at least we know how they feel about Mourinho.
