With a cheeky nod to Mourinho's post-match whinging after his side drew 0-0 with West Ham a few months ago, David Sullivan's son summed up Chelsea's performance last night with the same jibe which Mourinho threw at his father's club.
Nice bit of 19 century football #Chelsea

A Spanish journalist decided to put the tweet to Mourinho in last night's post match press conference. He was unsurprisingly met with a cold response.
Spanish journalist just informed Mourinho that "the son of West Ham's owner has described it as 19th century football". Mourinho unimpressed — Daniel Taylor (@DTguardian) April 22, 2014
Mourinho replies: "You don't want the manager of Chelsea Football Club to comment on the opinion of the son of West Ham's owner"

Anyhow, I'm not entirely sure what Mourinho's gripe with 19th Century football is. From what I've heard it was great fun altogether.
While conducting some hard nose research for this piece I went looking for video footage to prove my point. Unfortunately I could only manage a clip from the early part of the 20th Century but you can see how much craic it is...
