Difference being that the two examples you cite with Arsenal are the bollocks reactions from others, not the manager and player concerned. Maureen on the other hand very clearly became agitated when he was asked about players that he'd left out of the team, so much so that he had a strop and ran away from the press conference.
It's something Mourinho has always done. He knows that tonight is more or less a must win game so is taking the pressure away from the players and onto himself. If we lose tonight, Mourinho will be blamed and the headlines will be "Not special anymore" and "Jose's lost the plot" rather than attacking the team and making fruitless comparisons to the 04-06 team as many journalists have already done. Cech, Lampard, Mikel, Terry and Cole have become accustomed to the pressure of playing for Chelsea, I'm not so sure the same can be said of De Bruyne, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Schurrle etc.
The Football Association says it will take no disciplinary action against Fernando Torres following an incident where the forward scratched Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen on the face during Chelsea's 1-1 Premier League draw at White Hart Lane on Saturday. "One of the match officials saw the coming together of the two players, albeit not in its entirety," the FA said on its website. "In these particular circumstances, in line with The FA's policy on when retrospective action may be taken, reviewed this summer by the game's stakeholders, no action may be taken." How the hell did Torres get away with that! The FA are a joke!!!!
So Barca have to cheat to beat Celtic. Disgraceful team they are. Haven't seen it, but I bet they all swarmed the ref asking for a red card too.
He got his red card in the end. Seemed fair enough considering the second yellow wasn't one. In general, I agree they should be taking retrospective action from video evidence though.
Neymar rolled around like he had been shot from the smallest bit of contact and then all the Barca players where all over the ref. But it was a red - he kicked out at Neymar on the floor lol

Fernando Torres: FA decision a disgrace - Andre Villas-Boas It's hard to argue against AVB on this one. The more photos you see, the worse it looks. I really don't know how the FA came to their decision on this one.
