Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has been charged with improper conduct by the FA.                                       

The charge relates to comments made in a post-match interview after the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Manchester United.

He claimed that United boss Alex Ferguson put pressure on referee Neale Barry during half time of the game.

He told Chelsea TV: "In the second half it was whistle and whistle, fault and fault, cheat and cheat." 

One the bright side for the Blues, defender John Terry will not be charged after he backed Mourinho.
