“Before the game Mourinho was talking to the ball boys and mascots and one of the mascots said to him
‘we’re going to beat you!”
“When he returned from the warm-up, he came back into the tunnel and asked which one of the mascots said West Ham were going to beat Chelsea – one of the boys put his hand up and said ‘it was me!'”
Mourinho apparently told him: “If we win I’ll have your shirt – and if you win, I’ll get you a signed Chelsea shirt.”
“Whether it happened or not, I don’t know – but it was brilliant that he could have a little bit of banter before the game,” Slater added.
Ordinarily we’d hope that Mourinho had the good grace and gumption to uphold his end of the wager, but let’s face it – nobody wants a signed Chelsea shirt at the moment.
