Chelsea have been rewarded by the FA for having the best disciplinary record during the 2010-11 season.

The Blues only received one red card all year (Already got one in the league), which was picked up by midfielder Michael Essien.

For their reward, the club’s foundation has been given £30,000, whilst Watford and Rochdale were awarded £10,000 each for their records last season, and Sunderland were rewarded for the behaviour of their supporters.

It's funny how it was pretty similar too. Two-footed, no malicious intent, barely any contact and player was trying to pull out of the tackle.

[Igi26 346]

Yeah, I was angry about Essien's red card. It was late in the game and was not needed, still it was deserved though.

That's 3 cents for Roman

Agreed with warnie 666 that's 3 cent for Roman

So that's why we didn't win the league last year, we didn't play dirty enough!

I rather play fair and win nothing instead of doing a Barcelona-style and be acting like in Hollywood.

Nice little positive for the team.
