Jose Mourinho claims Diego Costa's stamps were accidental, internet doesn't agree - video

You may have thought you saw Chelsea striker Diego Costa stamp on two Liverpool players during the Capital One Cup semi-final against Liverpool, but you are, apparently, wrong. Here, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho explains why. That’s his view, and he’s sticking to it. It’s fair to say that the internet had a different opinion, though. It's settled – Mourinho verdict: "Absolutely accidental." pic.twitter.com/DkfbZthey5 — sportingintelligence (@sportingintel) January 27, 2015 Agree with Mourinho's claims that Diego Costa's stamps were accidental. I accidentally robbed a store and murdered two people yesterday. — – (@SidelinedDanny) January 27, 2015 Stamping on a player twice isn't accidental, Jose. Costa knew exactly what he was doing & the @FA MUST take action like they did with Suarez — SMELLARD (@SamEllard88) January 28, 2015 "A certain pundit" Mr Mourinho? I don't think there is a viewer in the world that saw an "accidental" stamp. Delusion. #CFCvLFC — Arsene's Eyes (@Arsenes_Eyes) January 27, 2015 Mourinho claiming there is a sky pundit discriminating against Chelsea and that Costa's stamps where accidental. Mans a parody of himself. — LFC buzz (@LFC_buzz) January 27, 2015 I'm a fan of Jose Mourinho, but listening to his excuses regarding the Costa blatant, and disgraceful stamping on Emre Can losing respect — Iain Mallory (@MalloryOnTravel) January 28, 2015 Jose Mourinho says that someone is trying to give Diego Costa a bad reputation. Yeah. It's Diego Costa. pic.twitter.com/AW1CIV1g6z — Soccer Memes (@SoccerMemes) January 28, 2015 Of course, there were a handful of Chelsea fans who agreed with Mourinho. The Diego Costa stamps were accidental FFS! Sky Sports are trying hard 2 make it look deliberate, y don't they investigate the ref? — Bruno (@BrunoKhanyile) January 28, 2015 These Costa stamps are a bit far fetched. Anything can look deliberate in slow motion. — Chelsea Project (@Chelseaproject1) January 27, 2015 Just seen the 'stamp' from Costa. He's a vicious bastard but I don't think it's deliberate. — Nemanja Matt-ić (@FMHintsAndTips) January 28, 2015 By and large, though, the tweets were more like this… Jose Mourinho – The Deluded One #accidentalstamp 😂😂😂😂😂 — Mary (@MarySeeYouEnTee) January 27, 2015
