Your support makes all the difference.Jose Mourinho must hate camera phones after the week he’s had. The Chelsea manager was filmed twice while out walking in London, in which he is alleged to have pushed a young boy and become involved in an angry exchange with another.
But his humiliation was completed on Saturday afternoon when Mourinho was sent to the stands at Upton Park – and filmed by Eastenders actor Danny Dyer.
West Ham fan Dyer spotted Mourinho standing in the directors’ box at Upton Park and made a beeline for the Blues boss, comically asking The Special One “you alright sunshine?”

— Danny Dyer (@MrDDyer) October 24, 2015 Mourinho had been dismissed from the sidelines of Chelsea’s 2-1 defeat by West Ham at half-time after confronting referee Jon Moss over his decision to rule out a first-half goal and send of midfielder Nemanja Matic.
The incident comes a week after Mourinho received a £50,000 fine and a suspended one-match stadium ban from the Football Association for comments he made about referee Robert Madley in the wake of the 3-1 loss to Southampton earlier this month.
The latest incident is not expected to trigger Mourinho’s stadium ban as it happened in private when he was alleged to have tried to enter the referee’s room at half-time.
Chelsea will also face a mandatory charge for having over five players booked during the match, while they could be hit with another fine after Mourinho and his coaching team snubbed the media for the obligatory post-match press conference.
The club could also be sanctioned for having Mourinh’s assistant manager, Silvino Loura, sent off shortly before Mourinho was.
