Mourinho's Rants: Porto (h)

Goals from Alexey Smertin, John 'Tex' Terry and 'The Drog' earned the Blues the three points they more than deserved!

Before the match even started Jose was welcomed by the Porto fans. However some chose to express their feelings in not so welcoming ways!

Mourinho though, credit where it's due, did not react. The idiot was escorted from the Bridge and his trip from Portugal turned into a very expensive one.

"When in football, you have to understand that maybe it's not the culture in England but it is different in Latin countries."

"In Portugal, Italy and Spain people are more emotional.

"Some people understand why I left, others don't understand. In the same way, I had reaction from one supporter, I had a very good reaction from others.

"It's not important."

After our second 3 goal display in the Champions League, Jose just couldn't hide his delight.

"It's fantastic. We have one foot in the next stage and we only need three or four more points.

"Our position is fantastic and only a disaster would take us out of the next stage.

"I'm pleased because we won and got the three points. We played some pieces of good football. Again, we defended very well and, if we didn't have control of the 90 minutes it was because our opponent is a good opponent."

After defeating PSG 2-0 earlier in the night, Moscow are Chelsea's next opposition in two weeks time.

Bring 'em on !
