Clattenburg in a load of trouble

The fact they spoke to the media about this first speaks volumes. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a ploy for them NEVER to have Clattenburg officiating their matches again, it will backfire though as they will have to endure Howard Webb and his United supporting tendencies.

If the story is a fabrication I would ban Mikel for the rest of the season, the FA need to make an example of this idiot.

They should punish Chelsea for starters

Very hard to punish a club, fining them would be ridiculous as fining any club in this day and age is. It would be very hard to give them a point deduction as it's probably not stated in the rules at the moment. I'd ban Mikel for the season, that's punishment enough as they have to pay a player the full whack each week despite the fact he can't play.

and if Mikel thinks he's been abused he has a right to report it... guilty or not, its his opinion, its now down to the FA to find if hes guilty or not

Abused or racially abused, there is a difference in our current society.

If there will be a good thing from this it will be a clamp down on abuse from players to refs, someone better have a word with bellers.
