Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has criticised the British media for always portraying him as "the bad guy".

The Portuguese has been involved in a war of words with fellow Premier League managers in recent days, including Arsenal's Arsene Wenger and Manuel Pellegrini of Manchester City.

"It is always the same guy, the bad guy," Mourinho told reporters following his side's 2-0 defeat to Manchester City in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

"One is polite (Wenger) and the other is the bad guy."

Chelsea are currently one point clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
