No doubt you had a big chuckle at Jose Mourinho’s rant re: penalties this weekend: ‘It was a penalty at Old Trafford. It was a penalty to us. We are talking about points,’ said the Special One.
‘It is not a conspiracy, it is fact. I speak facts. If not, I need big glasses [see badly Photoshopped pic for artist’s impression]… If you tell me it was not a penalty for Sheffield United, or a penalty for Middlesbrough, or for us against Newcastle. I must go to my optician.’
He also talked, tongue in cheek, about the ‘new football rules’ (whereby Man U never get pens given against them and Chelsea can’t get one to go their way) and how if he’s punished for his remarks it’ll be ‘the end of democracy’ and a return to ‘old times’.
A classic Mourinho tirade but does he have a point or is it just more meaningless grist for the mind-games mill?
