It's mentioned in the other thread as well, but here's the report in Soccernet. Basically, whine whine whine moan moan moan groan groan groan bitch bitch bitch. Go suck Terry's cock, Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho says Chelsea "deserve more respect" from the football authorities, and criticised the fixture schedule which hampers English teams while their European opponents are given extra time to prepare for ties.
While refusing to directly criticise the Premier League because he did not want to risk punishment, Mourinho implied that the fixture scheduling has meant Chelsea have no choice but to prioritise Wednesday's Champions League second leg against Atletico Madrid.
When it was put to him that Chelsea supporters would want the team to try their maximum to beat Liverpool on Sunday, Mourinho said he "always" wants to win but insisted there is something larger at play. It comes after Mourinho suggested he might have to play a weakened side at Liverpool on Sunday.
"I want to win Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Wait for Sunday," he said. "I think Chelsea fans want Chelsea FC to be respected and to get the respect Chelsea FC deserves. They know what Chelsea have done ... for English football for the last 10 years.
"They've been the most important club to defend this country in European competitions: they won the Champions League, they won the Europa League, they think Chelsea deserve more respect that they are getting. They want Chelsea to go to Liverpool and play, as always, at the maximum giving everything they have. Which players? That's our decision, not your decision."
When asked what he meant, Mourinho said he did not feel "free" to talk openly.
"I cannot say a lot. I do not feel free to say more than this," he explained. "Because every time I speak, there's a consequence. Even when I think the referee is amazing, there's a reason to be charged. So I don't feel free at all.
"If you want a better press conference, speak with the FA."
Mourinho did then make reference to how Atletico were allowed play on the Friday before the first leg, and said Chelsea were simply fortunate that Diego Simeone's side were due to play Valencia this weekend, whose own Europa League fixture meant the match had to be put to Sunday. As such, due to the kickoff times, Atletico will have slightly less rest time than Chelsea.
"They play Sunday because they play, luckily for us, Valencia who played in the Europa League last night. If they'd played another team, they would be playing today and they would have 48 hours more than us to rest. As a journalist you should know.
"So why don't you write about it? Write about it. Speak about it. So many journalists, why don't you speak about it? Next season, if another club is in the Champions League semifinal, maybe we change that."
Real Madrid had their fixture against Real Valladolid last weekend rearranged for next month to give them extra time to prepare for the first leg of their semi against holders Bayern Munich.
