Mourinho has now moved on to another perceived slight against his side, with the Chelsea manager accusing an unnamed Sky Sports pundit of having a "campaign" against Diego Costa after suggestions that the striker stamped on Liverpool players during Tuesday's Capital One Cup semi-final.

"Maybe you are already influenced by the campaign on the television with the certain pundits saying that Costa has crimes - they must be nuts, the guy who says that," said the Stamford Bridge manager. "It is a great campaign. We know how much that pundit loves Chelsea."

But who was he talking about? The Mirror have drawn up a list of suspects..., external

Jose Mourinho has been fined £25,000 despite contesting a Football Association charge for claiming there is a "campaign" to influence referees' decisions against his Chelsea side.

The Portuguese made his comments after his side were denied a penalty in the 1-1 draw with Southampton on 28 December.

Then the sprightly 24-year-old went on to claim the title in an 85-minute scrap against Malaysian Muhd Asyraf Azan. "I'm physically and mentally exhausted," said Au, stating the obvious somewhat.

The record had stood since 1983, when Pakistani six-time world champion Jahangir Khan took 166-minutes to get past Gamal Awad in the Chichester Festival.
