The Football Association has charged Chelsea with failing to control their
players during their match against Manchester United on 23rd September.
Charges have been issued against Chelsea and their assistant coach Steve
Clarke following incidents which occurred during the Old Trafford clash.
The
charge with regards the behaviour of Chelsea's players relates to the manner in
which they responded to referee Mike Dean, following the first-half sending-off
of John Obi Mikel.
Captain John Terry was seen to try and snatch the red
card from Dean's hand, in an incident that has landed the England captain in hot
water with the FA.
Clarke has been charged with using abusive and/or
insulting words towards the match officials at the game's conclusion.
The FA
has already rejected Chelsea's appeal against Mikel's red card, as they upheld
Dean's decision, meaning the Nigerian is serving a three-match suspension.
Chelsea and Clarke have until 12th October to respond to the charges.

My thoughts: I love the fact that Chelski is finally getting called out by the FA for whining over every call now that Jose Mourinho has left. It probably shouldn't have been a straight red but the Chelski players abuse refs over every call that goes against them. Every friggin' foul. Grow up and play the game.
