Mourinho: I trust refs

Jose Mourinho insists that he has the greatest of respect for referees as he prepares his side to face Tottenham in their FA Cup quarter-final replay at White Hart Lane tonight.

The Chelsea coach was unhappy with Graham Poll when the two clubs met in their league game at Spurs earlier in the season and claimed that Mike Riley gave Martin Jol’s team too many decisions in their favour during a thrilling 3-3 draw at Stamford Bridge.
