You don't keep Jose waiting.

Mourinho tried to walk out of his Chelsea press conference again today but it was all for a bit of a fun and, to be honest, we're still coming around to that idea. The Portuguese man hasn't exactly been a ray of sunshine this season so when he actually tried to pull a prank at his presser today - albeit a pretty poor one - we were taken aback a little. The league leaders head into a must-win clash with Arsenal at the weekend, 10 points to the good and Mourinho isn't burdened by the prospect of accruing the necessary results to get over the line with six games to go. And, as the club's head of communications Steve Atkins arrived late for the conference, leaving Jose stranded in a sea of fawning journalists, the boss decided to play a prank. He told the media, when Steve arrives, they were all to stand up and leave as if the interview had ended but, in the end, he was the only one who played along. He still got a chorus of cringey cheers out of it though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLwuoMz-lWo
