Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has berated the Stamford Bridge crowd in the wake of his side's narrow 2-1 victory over QPR, describing the match as 'like playing in an empty stadium'.

The Blues continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season after a second-half penalty from Eden Hazard secured the win, but Mourinho was critical of the crowd in his post-match press conference.
'Everyone knows how much I feel connected to this club and the fans,' he said. 'At this moment it's difficult for us to play at home though, because playing here is like playing in an empty stadium.

'The team then starts playing like it's a quiet, soft game at home. It's difficult to get that strong start where the players, team and fans at Stamford Bridge [are all together].

'I was today looking around and it was empty, but not in terms of people because it was obviously full. That's what is frustrating.'

Normally I'd laugh at him but in this case I agree with him. Anfield is hardly better nowadays. The prawn munchers have well and truly taken over.

Anfield is a morgue, all the time bar the odd big game. It's a fact. OT is the same, they're all the same now, bar Palace, Stoke and sometimes West Brom.

Fair play to Mourinho, actually comes across as very classy with this (from BBC):

Jose Mourinho rues failure to sign Steven Gerrard

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says failing to sign Liverpool's Steven Gerrard remains one of his greatest transfer disappointments.

Mourinho was close to signing the midfielder in his first spell as Chelsea manager in 2005 before Gerrard chose to stay at Anfield.

"We did everything to try [to sign him] and it was almost there," said Mourinho. "I was dreaming of Claude Makelele, Gerrard and Frank Lampard in midfield."

Mourinho added: "We were playing in a proper triangle without a number 10 and playing Maka in front of the defenders. Me, Mr Abramovich and [former Chelsea chief executive] Peter Kenyon at that time, we dreamed of that.
"His people were open to him joining a top side like Chelsea. But to me personally he never said he would come. Never.

"He [Gerrard] was always a red and I think the decision was right."
Gerrard will come up against Mourinho at Anfield on Tuesday in the first leg of the Capital One Cup semi-final in one of the last meetings before the former England captain ends his 17-year career in the Liverpool first team this summer when he joins Los Angeles Galaxy.

But Mourinho, who describes Gerrard as an opponent he has always admired and respected, says he does not like Chelsea fans to poke fun at the player following his slip at Anfield last year in a match which saw Liverpool's title chances disappear.

"The song that my fans have I don't like at all," Mourinho said.
"A couple of times it is good fun but to go and go and go, especially with a player like him who deserves respect, I don't think you don't need that.
"We have so many other songs, you don't need that one.

"I love this quote when he was saying in his life he would never score a goal against Liverpool. I love these words.

"I understand why he was - almost, almost, almost - coming to Chelsea. But he didn't and I respect that a lot."

It might be classy by Mourinho's standard's, but he's set the bar pretty low.
