Tottenham boss Mourinho tells Fulham rival Parker: Apologies now on the line!

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has taken aim at Fulham rival Scott Parker ahead of their rearranged clash.

Fulham boss Parker said it was "scandalous" and "blatantly wrong" for his team to be forced into a game at such short notice — to ease Tottenham's congested fixture list.

Mourinho said: "We've played, if I'm not wrong, 11 more matches than Fulham since the beginning of the season.

"We played every week three matches a week.

"We played in one week, four matches. They played Saturday against QPR. They have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to prepare for the game.

"If they come with half of the team, I will be the first one to apologise to them, and I will be the first to say we played this game with an advantage.

"If they come with their best team, I think they should apologise to all of us."
