Whether Gallas went down too easily isn't the issue, as Moyes went onto whinge 'I don't think it would have been a red card if that had been John Terry. Its a man's game and I would never want my players going down that road. (Oh but it is OK for one of your players to headbutt another??) You have got to do things right.' He's running with his head down and gone into the back of the boy. You'd have thought he'd been hit with a sledgehammer (No Moyesy it was Beattie's head). If it was one of my players, I'd want to know why he was going down like that.' (I say it again Moyes - but it is OK for one of your players to headbutt another??)

How Beattie can claim that him and Gallas barely touched well that is just clearly laughable.

Certainly Beattie will not forget his experiences of playing Chelsea this season in a hurry. He scored the fastest goal of the season at Stamford Bridge this season whilst playing for Southampton. Becoming the first of ONLY two Englishmen to score against Chelsea out of eight goals that Chelsea have conceded in the Premiership this season. The second being Kevin Davies of Bolton Wanderers.

Then Beattie gifted Chelsea an equaliser in the same game, before Lampard scored the winner from a penalty. And now he gets his marching orders and a suspension for the first time in his career. Perhaps Beattie will not lose his head in future.

It always amuses me when Old Rednose, SAF gets on his high horse and starts bleating and whineing how well his team is doing and then goes on the bemoan how the team in front of his, namely Chelsea are doing better than his collection of spolit brats.

Its just like a scenario in the playground. 'My team is better than yours.' 'Your team is lucky.' 'You get all the luck.' and so on and so on. So SAF tell me in all the years that Man Utd have won the Premiership, you didn't get your stroke of luck, your taste of good fortune? Tell me SAF against Tottenham when Carroll dropped the ball over the line, you were not lucky?

The facts are clear SAF, Chelsea are top of the table on merit. Twenty-one wins, only one defeat. Eight goals conceded. Fifty Premiership goals scored. A record ten consecutive clean sheets (thats a total of 961 minutes) of which nine of those were victories. The facts are clear SAF, staring you right in your scotch drinking inflicted red-nose face. Keep on whinging SAF, you do make me smile.

In less than two weeks, Chelsea have a date in Cardiff playing out the Carling Cup final against Liverpool. The day before Man Utd are at home to Portsmouth, and I expect Man U to duly despatch Portsmouth in quite a cynical way. Therefore Man U will only be six points behind Chelsea, but Chelsea will have a game in hand. This is where I expect Chelsea to feel some pressure, simply because Man U will have the points on the board and Chelsea will have to win theirs and if the authorities find Chelsea guilty in the Cole 'tap-up' row and deduct points, then both Arsenal and Man Utd will certainly get a 'backdoor' reprieve. Interesting times ahead, no doubt.

The game in hand against WBA (fortunately) has been scheduled to be played on Wednesday 16th March at Stamford Bridge and with the run of fixtures that Chelsea have been dealt, I expect SAF to carry on moaning.
