Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists his team isn't getting the same treatment from refs as Premiership rivals Manchester United and Arsenal.
The Mirror says Mourinho is understood to have boiled with indignation as he watched the Gunners and Sir Alex Ferguson's side both given controversial penalties at the weekend.
He said: "I know what happened on Saturday. I saw them.
"Nothing seems to change. We can say again that it doesn't go that way for us and we don't get those decisions - and the others can't say that.
"We had a penalty at Sheffield United, that wasn't a penalty, given against us.
"I don't want to speak a lot about it, because if I speak again I will get another one of those letters from the FA. I don't want to go there.
"But the responsibility is on everybody - players, managers, referees, everybody - to stop it happening."
i feel that generally the referees are against chelsea.
maybe it is because of the many off-the-field problems chelsea have with the referees.
Yes, I get the same drift.
It's just like the footballing authorities seem to give Chelsea 'preferential treatment' when it comes to slapping heavy fines for every little reason their greedy little minds can come up with.
Graham Poll seems to favour arsenal openly. The League Cup match with Everton and the EPL derby with Spurs gives this impression.
