Jose Mourinho accuses Newcastle of parking the COW in bizarre post-match rant JOSE MOURINHO has added a new famous footballing phrase to the lexicon of the game as he accused Newcastle of bringing a cow on to the pitch in order to stifle Chelseas late comeback. Jose Mourinhos post-game round was full of excuses including ball boys and a cow Mourinho could be suffering from a touch of mad cows disease as he came up with a truly priceless excuse for the end of Chelseas bid to become the Invincibles, insisting the St James Park ball boys and crowd had delayed the match so much it ruined his teams mojo. And somewhere within his reasoning came a cow. When asked if his side would employ similar spoiling tactics had they enjoyed a slender lead, Mourinho said: No. With anything? You may as well put a cow in the middle of the pitch. And then stop the game because there was a cow. Sometimes there were zero balls and that cuts the dynamic of the team who is trying to win the game Jose Mourinho You cannot do just anything in football. You have to defend with your 10 men, put the 10 men on the goal line, park the bus, but football needs a ball. Not two or zero. Do what you can to win but not everything. Sometimes there were zero balls and that cuts the dynamic of the team who is trying to win the game. Moooo-rinho is up there with all the managerial greats - Shankly, Ferguson, Clough, Wenger - but this latest excuse for failure is risible. Newcastle won because Papiss Cisse took his chances and Chelsea, until Didier Drogbas late strike, did not. Cows and parked buses were not involved. In fact, excellent referee Martin Atkinson added six minutes of injury time, which does not suggest any delaying tactics worked. In truth, this game served to underline just why Chelsea failed to score on Wearside last weekend and lost their unbeaten record at St James Park THE MAGPIE
