It's not just the money, we're jealous our club can't behave the same way. We have a captain who isn't even a racist.Quote:

FIFA said no to Drogba returning to the chavpit on loan.

Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has been charged by the Football Association over the events following the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
The 25-year-old is accused of using threatening and/or abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour in or around the match officials' changing room at Stamford Bridge.
The charge follows the FA's decision to clear referee Mark Clattenburg over allegations he used racist language towards Mikel during the 28 October clash.
The Nigeria international approached Clattenburg after the match after he was informed of the allegations by Chelsea team-mate Ramires.
A statement from Chelsea said Mikel did not deny the charges but would request a personal hearing with the FA to explain the mitigating circumstances.
I'd be seriously embarrassed to support such a classless club.

Didier Drogba's hopes of an immediate move to a European club from Shanghai Shenhua have been dashed by FIFA.
The Ivory Coasthttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif international striker was being linked with a loan move to former club Chelseahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif after the Chinese Super League ended this month.
The 34-year-old requested special permission to join another club outside the international transfer window to maintain his fitness levels ahead of the African Cup of Nations, which starts on 19 January in South Africa.http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
However, FIFA upheld its rules in previous cases when making Major League Soccer players David Beckham, Thierry Henryhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Landon Donovanhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif wait until January to make loan moves.
FIFA said in a statement: "We can confirm that the player Didier Drogbahttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif submitted a request for authorisation to be registered outside an open registration period for a club on a loan basis.
"FIFA has informed him about the relevant regulations... that players may only be registered during one of the two annual registration periods fixed by the relevant association."
FIFA said the only exception was when a player's contract expired outside a transfer window.
Chavs :haha: just not their week.

"The FA is satisfied that the allegation against Mark Clattenburg by Ramires was made in good faith. It is entirely possible for a witness to be genuinely mistaken and convincing in his belief.
http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...n-from-ChelseaQuote:
Mark Clattenburg will seek compensation from Chelsea after being cleared of using racist language to John Obi Mikel, according to his union.
A Football Association investigation found the referee had "no case to answer" after the allegation, made by Mikel's team-mate Ramires, was contradicted by three other witnesses.
And both Clattenburg and Professional Referees' Union spokesman Alan Leighton reacted to the verdict by criticising Chelsea's decision to go public with their complaint.
A statement from the referee read: "To know you were innocent of something but that there was the opportunity for it to wreck your career was truly frightening.
"Racism has no place in football and this experience should not discourage those to speak out if they genuinely believe they are a victim of abuse.
"However, there are processes that should be adhered in order that any investigation can be carried out in a manner that is fair for all parties involved.
"I know first-hand the ramifications of allegations of this nature being placed into the public domain ahead of a formal process and investigation. I hope no referee has to go through this in the future."
Leighton told Sky Sports News: "What we now need to happen is for Chelsea to accept the verdict, to fully apologise unreservedly to Mark for the actions they've taken in damaging his career and to compensate him for that.
"Furthermore, I think it would be right for them to make a donation to Show Racism The Red card and Kick It Out to help the fight against racism that we need to continue in football and elsewhere."

Financial penalities are meaningless to the chavs, whatever they payout Ambramovich will just steal from the Russian people. They should be docked enough points to see them relegated. Ideally the club should be wound down and everyone put out on the street because that's exactly what they tried to do to Clattenberg. But it'll be a trivial slap for Mikel with that giant anus Ramires walking away from it unscathed. Why do you have to go to court and answer charges if you are accused of being a racist yet there is no punishment for falsely accusing others and putting them in jeopardy - why is the latter a civil rather than criminal issue? There should be equality in the law or no law at all.
