Plain and simple PRIDE! Cool

Chelski players couldn't wait to hit the dressing rooms... Mr. Green

But some did shake hands...so let's not slime them. They've got model professionals in their team...players like Andrei Shevchenko who win or lose, will shake on it anyway.

Chelsea have hit back at Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer.

The Australian claimed The Premiership champions showed Boro a lack of respect following their shock midweek victory over The Blues.

Schwarzer said some of Chelsea's team even refused to shake hands after leaving the pitch.

The West London giants have wasted little time in issuing a response.

"The comments from the Middlesbrough goalkeeper are complete nonsense and totally ignore the facts on the night," read the Chelsea statement.

"Several Chelsea players swapped shirts with Middlesbrough players after the whistle and Jose Mourinho stood by the side of the pitch after the Chelsea team had already gone to the dressing room and shook the hands of most, if not all, the Middlesbrough players.

"One has to question Schwarzer's motives for coming out with this unwarranted attack on our players and manager given they are not borne out by the clear facts.

"We delayed our response to this because we had an important match against Blackburn and we did not want this issue clouding the build-up to the game, but we cannot allow this attack to go unchallenged."

Chelsea slumped to a shock defeat against Middlesbrough last week but recovered to earn their second win of the season at Blackburn on Sunday.

But instead of basking in quiet satisfaction, Mourinho found himself having to fend off accusations that his side did not give Boro's players enough respect and that England captain John Terry dived to win their second-half penalty at Ewood Park.

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer felt that Chelsea did not acknowledge Boro's 2-1 victory last Wednesday night in an appropriate manner but Mourinho denied his claims and advised him to enjoy the moment instead of making 'stupid' remarks

Mourinho said: 'In football it is very difficult for the big people to lose matches but it is also very difficult for small people to win big matches.

'When you win and you are not used to winning big matches, you have also to behave.

'(Schwarzer) is a very good `keeper and because of that I don't believe he has vision problems.

'I don't believe because he is a good `keeper that he didn't see Chelsea players exchanging shirts with Middlesbrough players.

'I don't believe he didn't see the Chelsea manager waiting for Middlesbrough players at the end of the game to congratulate them.

'I don't understand what he is saying. It is better to enjoy the moment he beat Chelsea and don't say stupid things, because he won a good game.'

Mourinho's comment was underpinned by a Chelsea statement which questioned the goalkeeper's motives and explained why they had waited before issuing a response.

The statement read: 'The comments from the Middlesbrough goalkeeper are complete nonsense and totally ignore the facts on the night.

'Several Chelsea players swapped shirts with Middlesbrough players after the whistle and Jose Mourinho stood by the side of the pitch after the Chelsea team had already gone to the dressing room and shook the hands of most, if not all, the Middlesbrough players.

'One has to question Schwarzer's motives for coming out with this unwarranted attack on our players and manager given they are not borne out by the clear facts.

'We delayed our response to this because we had an important match against Blackburn and we did not want this issue clouding the build-up to the game, but we cannot allow this attack to go unchallenged.'
