We await confirmation, but word has it that Jose Mourinho tried to enter the referee’s room after a nightmare first-half against West Ham on Saturday.
The initial 45 minutes saw Chelsea concede a goal to Mauro Zarate on the 17th minute, have a ‘goal’ by Kurt Zouma correctly disallowed for just not crossing the line, and a legitimate Cesc Fabregas effort chalked off for offside.
The officials’ room is out of bounds, and word at Upton Park has it that a furious Mourinho went looking for ref Jonathan Moss at half-time to give him a piece of his mind.
The second-half saw the miserable looking Portuguese dismissed to the stands, and the speculation is that Jose’s attempted break-in was the reason….
Mourinho has been sent to the stands. Post match interview might be interesting.

Sky reports that Mourinho tried to make his way into the referee's room at the break, which is off-limits, and was ejected. More to follow.
