Jose Mourinho thanked QPR fans for helping out with club wages As Fabregas and his team-mates celebrated the 88th-minute winner, coins were thrown from the home stands. Defender Branislav Ivanovic grabbed a few quid after he was hit in the neck by a 50p. "The game was correct in the pitch and correct in the stands," said Mourinho. "It is not easy in an emotional game these players need all the money they can get." The Chelsea boss added: "If, at the end of the game, someone threw a pound coin, put it in your pocket. If someone threw a chocolate, eat it. It is no problem. Everybody needs a pound." QPR manager Chris Ramsey did condemn those involved in the incident, claiming rivalries can "sometimes go too far the ****ers didn't throw any money to their own players". He said: "We don't want to fund Chelsea, Roman loads of cash." The 1-0 victory took Chelsea seven points clear of second-placed Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, with a game in hand and more money in the pot for this Summers transfers..
Never understood the throwing of money anyway, a) It can injure people (maybe thats the point, but if it is, then these people need help) b) As Jose says, doesn't football eat up enough of your cash, why throw more of it away
I feel sorry for the poor sod who asked someone for a light on the way out, having lost his matches, and is now going to be done for throwing a lighter on the ptich.
"If, at the end of the game, someone threw a pound coin, put it in your pocket. If someone threw a chocolate, eat it. It is no problem. Everybody needs a pound." One of the best anyone's ever come out with over such an incident of course if it ended a draw, "Ivan could have been killed" would have been the line
I remember Beckham taking a corner (think it might have been for England) and having coins thrown at him, he picked them up, made a point of counting them then put them in his pocket. Total class
A classic from Jose ,like the old days !! Jose makes his point much better when he does it with humour . Hard to criticise someone when they are laughing at themselves. More please
Can`t knock Jose when he is on a roll, he has been a bit of a sour puss for most of this season and all of last though.
