I'm not arguing that Chelsea haven't done anything wrong, they certainly have, but are UEFA/FIFA honestly trying to say that Chelsea are the only team to do this? Really? Because that's bullshit and anyone acquainted with the modern game damn well knows it.
Yet I can't see a team like Real (who, lets face it, are some of the worst offenders in football for tapping players up) getting handed a fine like this. Like it or not Chelsea may be a big team in Europe now but historically they're not, which makes them a much juicer target for the powers that be than one of the elder statesmen of the game. Which is just crap.

Bitter, twisted and better than you.

That's fairly insane, even if I'm very much *not* a Chelsea fan.
