Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has made his feelings public after the 1-1 draw at Manchester United on Suday: certain decisions went against his team. Manchester United clinched a late draw at Old Trafford as Robin van Persie netted the equaliser in stoppage time after Didier Drogba had put the league leaders in front. Between those two goals Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic was sent off.
"The red card, I saw that coming," said Mourinho in the post-match press conference. "If I have to speak about that I have to speak about the penalty Ivanovic should have been given." But then he added: "I don't want to speak about the penalty on Ivanovic and the accumulation of yellow cards. I don't want to speak even about throw-ins. If I want to speak I will speak too much - you know I will speak with my heart and get into trouble."
Chelsea face a fine of £25,000 for picking up more than six yellow cards in a single match. Manchester United were fined the same amount back in 2008 for picking up seven yellow cards in a match at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho was pleased with his team's performance though. The Portuguese manager said: "Old Trafford is one of the most dangerous fixtures we have. The result is not the result we want, but the way we performed means we don't need to look to others. Don't forget we have also played away at Manchester United and Manchester City. We are going in a good direction."
Chelsea are four points clear of Southampton at the top of the Premier League table, while third-placed Manchester City are six points adrift. Chelsea are 4/11 at Bet365 to win the Premier League title this season.

Jose Mourinho is one of the best couches in this sport, but he can be really boring. After every draw or defeat, it is always someone else fault. It is weather, very defensive tactics of rival team, or maybe positions of stars on that day. It is not his fault, it is always someone else. He could be quiet a little bit,...
Jose Mourinho is one of the best couches in this sport, but he can be really boring. After every draw or defeat, it is always someone else fault. It is weather, very defensive tactics of rival team, or maybe positions of stars on that day. It is not his fault, it is always someone else. He could be quiet a little bit, but on the other hand, it is one of the reasons why many love him.

He is hilarious. It's always up to referee and it's not up to him. And this is some kind of pressure which he try to put on judges on some future matches. Psihological games in which one he is the best on the world. But, unfortunately games can won only players on the pitch not him on the press conference

I dont like Jose because of this.He is too much in all newspapers.He had comments on everything.I preffer Guardiola rather than Mourinho.Pep is such a gentleman.Mourinho is always playing some mindgames with someone.At the moment he is doing it with referee.It is typical for the special one.

He can criticize referee but it wont change anything.The match is over.This is just a tactical move by Mourinho,he wants to put pressure on other referees and FA to give back to Chelsea what they took from them in last match.Jose is right .Ref should award a penalty to Chelsea when Ivanovic fall in penalty area.

so tipical for the "special one". it is always about the reffere. I just don't know why he can't one time accept the guilt and admit that he is guilty for something. Alway is reffere, or bad pitch or something else. For me he isn't one of the best manager, he failed with real and that was the main test.

I agree with Franjo, Manchester has a quality team this season. I mean amount of money they spent was insane.. Prolly two best teams in the EPL right now. My question is, why Falcao didn't play? Is he injured or what? Was looking forward to see him.

Chelsea is definitely the best team in Premier league, and they plays great football. They deserve to won last match against Manchester united.

However, they have 25 top class footballer, season is long, and only they and City have a enough quality players for that.

This man is great. He is definitely the best manager on the world. Because, when his team loss, they move guilty on the other, and than, pressure isn`t on his players. But now, he is not right. That was a red card for Ivanovic, clear foul and second yellow card. Right decision by the referee.

That referee tho.. Clear penalty for Chelsea after that wrestling move from Smalling in the 1st half.. Ivanovic foul was for card if you ask me, I think he shouldn't touch di-maria in that situation at all.. I think Chelsea is the best team in the PL at this moment, and if they keep the momentum they have, they got a high...

I think Chelsea is the best team in the PL at this moment, and if they keep the momentum they have, they got a high chance of winning the PL this year. Im rooting for Arsenal tho :)
