#Jose_Mourinho felt while there was no guarantee we would win Saturdays game against Aston Villa prior to the dismissal of #Willian, we certainly didnt look like losing. The Blues suffered a first #Barclays_Premier_League defeat since December on an evening at Villa Park when #Ramires also saw red late on and Mourinho himself was ordered off. Fabian Delphs goal, which came 13 minutes after Willianhad been shown a second yellow card, won it for the hosts, but Mourinho felt we had looked strong defensively for much of the contest. It was a difficult match against a difficult opponent, he said. It wasnt a fantastic performance but it was a good, solid performance, the kind of performance where you feel you might win or not, but you wouldnt lose. While there could be few complaints about the red card shown to #Ramires by referee Chris Foy, there were other decisions which can be considered to have gone against us. Mourinho believes the general standard of refereeing in England is high. I keep saying the same thing, there are lots of great referees in England. There is a great philosophy with being a ref, communication with the players, communication with the bench, he explained. Mistakes are part of the job, even when you speak about a mistake thats crucial for the result, one penalty, one big decision. When it happens that way I feel very comfortable to say the ref was good, one mistake against me, one mistake in my favour. I dont want to say one single word [about Foys performance] because if I say one I will say 1000 and I will be accused of bringing the game into disrepute. The Blues boss is awaiting an explanation for his own sending off. I was angry but calm, said Mourinho. I was completely in control of my emotions, thats why I refused to comment, because Im completely aware that I will be accused of bringing the game into disrepute. Donations are anonymous and I would prefer to give them to people who need the money. Me and my wife are very proud and we do this anonymously, we give it to children. I dont want to throw money away because I cant control my emotions and my words. My philosophy is that I never care who the referee is, I dont want to know and if for some reason I know the referee is Mr Anthony or Mr John, okay. I always look at the referee in a positive way but during the week the players were speaking about the situation and I think the next time we have Mr Foy I will have to work with my team in a different way. #Goddy
