Blues report Portuguese plum

Mourinho complained to the fourth official on Sunday that Andy Johnson had tried to win a penalty by diving over Hilario as the Chelsea ‘keeper slid out deny Johnson a shot at goal.

And then after the match Mourinho went on record to say that Johnson was “untrustworthy” as a player and basically accused the Everton forward of being a cheat.

Which is a bit rich coming from a manager with Didier Drogba, Arjen Robben et al in his squad!

David Moyes immediately backed Johnson after the game and rightly pointed out that Johnson was merely looking to get out of the way of Hilario and was not looking to get a spot kick.

Moyes then highlighted the fact that Mourinho complained earlier in the season that Petr Cech had been deliberately taken out at Reading after the Royals' Stephen Hunt failed to pull out of challenge with the Chelsea number one.

So, as usual, Mourinho wants it both ways and has been unusually quiet this week.

The simple fact is that Johnson could have been awarded a penalty had the referee spotted Khalid Boulahrouz's tug on him just before he went down or he had deemed that the ‘keeper had intended to take him out.

But, in truth, it was neither a penalty nor a dive and it seems that, for whatever reason, the Chelsea manager is just trying to carry on the character assaination against Johnson that was instigated by Arsene Wenger a couple of months ago!

Johnson himself has criticised Mourinho saying that the Chelsea boss badly misinterpreted the incident.

The everton striker then went on to say: "I do not consider myself to be a diver. And I have to say that I feel greatly disappointed that my integrity as a footballer has been unfairly questioned in this way.”

And it must be really doing his head in that he can't even get a free kick awarded to him when he's fouled never mind a penalty!

But the club has now taken the incident a step further by officially lodging a complaint with the FA as no-one from Chelsea has made a statement regarding the comments.

And now Gordon Taylor, chief executive of the Professional Footballers Association, has backed Everton and Johnson in as much as he has said that it's time managers stopped commenting on other team's players.

Taylor commented: "I get a little bit worried sometimes about the way managers are too keen to make points about other clubs' players.

He added :"I think The FA are quite concerned they shouldn't comment about the 'impartiality' of referees when they think a decision has gone against them etc, and as a result we've had a number of charges against managers.

And then went on to say: "It's the same with my members. As regards The FA, if they're going to make sure managers don't talk about referees and their impartiality or judgement on them, or their integrity, the same thing should apply to other clubs' players.

So hopefully, Mourinho will be reprimanded by the FA and fined about half an hour's wages.

It won't bother him but I think just about everybody is getting fed up of his, and other manager's, snide comments regarding our number eight!
