Terry continues Mourinho rant over Chelsea's perceived persecution complex

John Terry believes Chelsea are being ill-treated by officials wary of the Blues' reputation, reports The Guardian. Boss José Mourinho is adamant there is a "clear campaign" against Chelsea and seethed after the draw at Southampton and loss at Tottenham.

Terry thinks referees are being swayed by incidents of diving involving Chelsea's players being highlighted in the media.

The captain said: "There have been a lot of highlights on the television and in the papers as well, which is unfair. I think the refs have to come into the games with a clear mind and judge each game as it is. You can't go into a game thinking 'someone did this, someone did that'.

"There are reputations out there, but the referees have got to come into it with a clear mind and I think the last two games we have been denied two clear penalties."
