The comments from José Mourinho on West Ham summed up a frustrating evening for Chelsea as they were held to a goalless draw by the Hammers at Stamford Bridge last night.
The Special One likened West Ham’s style of play in the Premier League clash to “football from the 19th century” and appeared disillusioned after the game, announcing “this is not the best league in the world”.
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce responded to José’s criticism with amusement, declaring that “it’s brilliant when you get a result against him” and dismissing the remarks as just “Chelsea moaning”.
