because Arsenal are the pretty boys of the league, whereas we are the machine who must be stopped at all costs.

The worst thing is that there is nothing we can do to stop it, even if we had people recording every game and putting together evidence of similar things by other teams that go unpunished it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference, simply because they just don't like us....

First 2 seasons under Roman were fine, it wasn't until we won the league that we started getting f**ked over...I am sure someone at the club has some sort of stats about it, but it won't make any difference. The press don't help either - vermin...

Graham Poll wrote in his Autobiography that the Referee Panel or Union selected for the WC 2006, was specifically told to be harsh on Crouch and book him for watever little offence he does. He told that the referess were shown clipings of crouch, and were told to be harsh on them. Inshort, If the referees can make someone as shit as crouch their target, then I guess Chelsea HAS to be their target in the domestic League. I am pretty sure the Premier League referees must have been ordered to be Harsh on Chelsea specifically in their match report. And thus the Double Standards!!

Its much easier to get a reputation than it is to lose it and the sad fact is Mourinho turned Chelsea into a team - I know, shocking concept! The lads who've been there long enough to take on board Jose's ethos are prepared to battle and fight for each other, and yes, dare to even question bad decisions. The fact that they occasionally choose to do that directly in the refs face obviously doesn't help. I don't think Chelsea are any worse when it comes to this than Arsenal, Manure or the Scousers, its just highlighted more when its us because apparently we have a reputation to uphold as far as the media's concerned.

I'm sorry...But for us to get a fine, and for Arsenal to get away with it over the same incident in two respective matches is unacceptable! Just goes to prove why everyone wants us to suffer all means of consequence because we have so many "arrogant" players. Essien didn't even deserve his red card. It was just the referee's fault for being such an inconsiderate cunt.

To be fair, I'm sure Arsenal have gone through the odd season being done no favours by the FA as well - largely as a result of their manager being 'outspoken'. As much as I loved Jose, to an extent we're still paying the price for him daring to share his opinion with the world's press. And the fact that others get away with it doesn't mean Essien didn't deserve a card.

I guess we just have to put up and shut up then

Not at all, our cards already marked as far as all the officials are concerned anyway. Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

its crap it always happens to us but when its other teams nothin happens

It's a footballing fact of life now. The FA have Chelsea down as a major income source -besides they've got to pay for McClarens pay off , and his villa in the West Indies.
