Chelsea's 0 - 0 draw with West Ham meant that the Blues were unable to capitalize on Arsenal's slip up or keep pace with table toppers Manchester City.
Off The Ball regular Miguel Delaney was at the post-match press conference and got a whiff of the Special One's frustration with West Ham's game plan...
Mourinho: "It's very difficult to play a football match when only one team wants to play. A football match is about two teams playing." Ahem

Mourinho on West Ham: "This is not Premier League, this is not the best league in the world. This is football from the 19th century."

Mourinho: "The only thing I can bring more to win was a Black and Decker. A Black and Decker to destroy the wall."

Hammers manager Sam Allardyce laughed off Mourinho's jibes...
Allardyce laughing at Mourinho's comments: "He just can't take it! He Just can't take it! I knew he would [say that]!"

Allardyce: "It's brilliant when you get a result against him! I love Chelsea moaning."
— Miguel Delaney (@MiguelDelaney) January 29, 2014
As Allardyce leaves: "Good old Jose, moaning again."

Perhaps, old Jose has forgotten how conservatively his team played against Manchester United and Arsenal. And maybe he has airbrushed Inter Milan's 2010 Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona from memory.
