MOURINHO AT IT AGAIN;THE FA AND THEIR DELEGATES ONLY COME TO EAT DURING MATCHES !!!

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hit out at the Football Association (FA) and their delegates who are sent to monitor referees during matches.

According to the Premier League's Fair Play table, the Blues are ranked as the worst side in terms of respecting officials.

But Mourinho believes those sent to matches by FA spend too much time enjoying the catering at Stamford Bridge rather than taking in the action.

And he singled out Steve Greaves, who opted not to overturn the decision to send off Nemanja Matic against Burnley in February, for particular criticism.

"No these figures don’t surprise me, because these delegates are the same delegates who do the evaluation of the referees’ performances, and that I read every week,"

"It depends on the food and the drinks. We have to change the catering because many, many times they don’t see the games. Really. I think they stay eating and drinking.

"The only one I met was the phenomenal guy who made the report on the Matic situation. And that one, for sure, had sushi, lobster - everything. Champagne of high quality. Cristal. Everything (lol)

“We have the best catering and the best drink. We should give them bread and water."

Mourinho has previously stated that there is a campaign against his side from match officials, but he insists he is not worried by his side's poor disciplinary record.

"It’s not true that Chelsea disrespect match officials I know that when a lie is repeated and repeated, there is a risk for it to become true in people’s eyes," 

"But I disagree. I think a lie is a lie. No problem.

"Are you are trying to tell me that the Fair Play table is going to reduce points in relation to the real table, and that somehow somebody is going to take 10 points off us! Instead of 73, we’d have 63. This is what you’re trying to tell me?"
