Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho watched his side cut Manchester United´s lead to three points at the top of the Barclays Premiership and then refused to appear for the post-match media conference.Mourinho´s absence was explained as a ´club decision´ which had ´the backing of all his staff´ but it only served to heighten speculation over his Stamford Bridge future. It also might have had more to do with the hostile reception Chelsea received from West Ham supporters ahead of the 4-1 win at Upton Park.A missile, thought to be a brick, cracked a side window in the team coach as it arrived at the ground, and a Chelsea spokesman said: "It was a rock of some sort and it cracked a window of the coach. But none of the players were injured and none of them were sat by the window that was hit."
