Mourinho shuns Chelsea press duties after Westham United Bashing

Mourinho shuns Chelsea press duties
The former Real Madrid boss was sent to the stands as his side were beaten by West Ham after Nemanja Matic was dismissed in the first half by referee Jon Moss
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho swerved his media duties after being sent to the stands during his side's 2-1 defeat to West Ham.

Andy Carroll's header secured the three points for Slaven Bilic's side after Nemanja Matic was sent off for the Blues in the first half, with Mourinho visibly unhappy at referee Jon Moss.

Mourinho was subsequently sent off himself after an incident in the tunnel at half-time, and watched the second-half from the stands at Upton Park. 

And the former Real Madrid boss then chose not to fulfill his post-match media duties as no member of Chelsea's staff spoke to the press at the Boleyn Ground.

Unverified reports suggested that Mourinho headed for the team bus immediately after full-time, with pressure beginning to mount over the Blues's poor start to the 2015-16 season. 

Chelsea have taken 11 points from their opening 10 games of the season, winning just three times, and currently sit in 15th position in the Premier League, 10 points behind current leaders Manchester City, who can extend their lead with a win over Manchester United on Sunday.

The Manchester United winger has acknowledged his form is "not very good" at present, but rejected suggestions he is selfish Netherlands winger Memphis Depay has rejected Danny Blind's suggestion that he is not a team player and insists he is working as hard as ever to rediscover his best form.

Why I'would Reject Real Madrid to stay at Arsenal-Alexis Sanchez

The Chile international says he is not interested in speculation linking him with a return to Spain, and addressed attempts to curse him by Peru fans Arsenal Star Alexis Sanchez Alexis Sanchez  has responded to reports linking him with move to  Real Madrid  by insisting he is happy at  Arsenal  and not thinking about leaving the club.

Neymar powers injury-hit Barcelona to clean sheet win at BATE

Three quick thoughts as an injury-hit Barcelona ease to a 2-0 win at BATE Borisov in Tuesday night's Champions League Group E matchday three clash. 1. Neymar + Rakitic = two goals and three points Two beautiful goals from Ivan Rakitic, and two lovely assists from Neymar, were enough to bring Barcelona a welcomed 2-0 win, and keep last year's Champions League winners in firm control of Group E. Barca had lots of the ball in the first half, but made few clear chances, and the game was still scoreless at the break. BATE's fans celebrated the half-time whistle with the apparent idea that they could capitalise on the Catalans' recent dodgy away form and get something from the game. But two superb pieces of play from Rakitic and Neymar early in the second half changed all that. The opener saw Neymar take an early pass from Sergio Busquets and run 40 yards inside the BATE half, drawing the defence before he timed his pass perfectly to give Rakitic space to stri
