They're both Chelsea legends. They're both born winners. They're both loved by their own fans and despised by rival supporters.

But most of all, Jose Mourinho and Diego Costa are both very good at throwing their toys out of the pram.

Chelsea's woeful 2015/16 continued as they lost to Stoke on penalties in the Capital One Cup - a defeat which again proved that the Blues employ two of the top flight's angriest men.

Jose Mourinho finally snapped after the match, losing his temper with a journalist and walking out of an interview . And incredibly, Diego Costa apparently picked up a rib injury by PUNCHING HIMSELF (so says Mourinho, anyway).

Which got us thinking… who is angrier, Mourinho or Costa? Let's look at the evidence:

Provoking opponents

Once he gets onto a football pitch, Diego Costa basically lives to provoke, annoy and antagionise. Just ask Arsenal defender Gabriel.

However, while Costa's inherent blind rage means he'll go after anyone , Mourinho is far more discriminating in his targets. Just ask "voyeur"/"specialist in failure" Arsene Wenger.

WHO'S ANGRIER? Jose Mourinho - his calculated fury is just more sinister than Costa's basic rage.

Dealing with the media

Most fans only heard a surprisingly smiley and fun-loving Costa speak for the first time very recently, when the Spain striker did a handful of TV interviews to promote a computer game.

Mourinho's recent dealings with the press? Well, those have not featured quite as many light-hearted moments…

Dealing with the public

A large section of the public regularly get angry with Costa, but we haven't really seen Costa get annoyed with any of them (yet).

As for the Chelsea boss? Well, he has had made it clear he did not push or shove the person who filmed this video. But he's not exactly full of the joys of spring here, is he?

Basic aggression

Costa has stamped on opponents. Costa has scratched opponents. But Costa has never snuck up behind an opponent and stuck his finger in their eye…

WHO'S ANGRIER? Jose Mourinho's finger.

Raging at authority figures

As we've seen, Costa tends to save his rage for actions on the pitch - and he's not exactly the only Premier League player guilty of moaning at referees.

Mourinho, on the other hand, doesn't limit his outrage to analysis of referees' performances. The words "Football Association" don't exactly put the Portuguese boss in a state of serene calm…

So, there you have it, folks. Conclusive proof that The Special One is indeed angrier than Diego Costa - the angriest player in the Premier League.

What do you say to that, Jose?
