Chelsea boss Mourinho: We know Stamford Bridge doesn't have 'hot' atmosphere

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho admits Stamford Bridge's atmosphere isn't exactly 'red hot'.

But Mourinho has avoided going down the Andre Villas-Boas route in criticising his own fans.

"This is Stamford Bridge's nature," Mourinho told the Fulham Chronicle.

"We know that our fans are in love with the club, more than in any other club or the same, but it is a different profile.

"We know Stamford Bridge is not a very hot atmosphere, not a very strong atmosphere normally, and we accept that.

"But in the last part of the game, when they felt the players were up to have a go and a fight, they were very much behind the team and they support the team."
