Mourinho blows off media after Chelsea's loss to West Ham
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho chose not to address the media in the usual post-match press conference following the 2-1 loss at West Ham.
The Portuguese, who was banished to the stands on Saturday, could now risk activating the suspended one-match ban he received from the FA earlier this month for his comments about referees.
The defeat was Chelsea's fifth in 10 Premier League matches, and also saw midfielder Nemanja Matic and assistant Silvino Louro sent off.

Mourinho took out his frustrations on the media Friday, calling out reporters for showing "no respect" after several outlets posted video of two teenagers tailing the 52-year-old through West London.
"I'm going to treat your bosses the same way they treat me. No respect, no respect. And I'm not speaking about football. Football I'm ready to accept any kind of criticism, even the stupid ones," Mourinho said.
But he didn't face questions of a football nature Saturday, with Chelsea slumping and offering no sign of change.

The FA could decide to fine Mourinho once again. On top of the suspended sentence - which he would serve if he is adjudged to have violated FA rules any time within the next 12 months - the governing body for English football dealt him a £50,000 penalty. Mourinho has appealed the decision.
