Chelsea’s seismic FA Cup clash with Manchester United was always bound to attract interest from all over the footballing globe and the punters in the Transfer Tavern watching it on our big screen TV were delighted to watch it.
A big game in every sense, the fact it saw Jose Mourinho return to Stamford Bridge for only the third time as an opposition manager added another layer to one of the biggest games in the English footballing calendar and the self-proclaimed ‘Special One’ certainly lived up to his billing as the pantomime villain.
Whether he was rowing with Blues boss Antonio Conte on the sidelines, or replying to the Chelsea fans’ abuse with a three-fingered response to how many titles he had won them, the Portuguese was always going to be a central figure in last night’s game.
In fact, the game was so big last night, even Arsenal fan Piers Morgan has chimed in on the banter between Mourinho and the home support.
Imagine chanting 'f**k off Judas' at a manager who was sacked 7 months after winning you the League? Shame on you, Chelsea fans. #Mourinho

Morgan has criticised the Chelsea supporters for their chanting at Mourinho, considering he’s done so much for the Blues during his two spells in charge.
Is Morgan right? Let us know below…
