Patrice Evra has been banned for four matches and fined £15,000 following last season's post-match altercation with a groundsman at Stamford Bridge.
The Football Association (FA) found the Manchester United defender guilty of improper conduct.
Evra, whose ban runs from 22 December, was involved in a confrontation with Chelsea groundsman Sam Bethell.
Chelsea were fined £25,000 for failing to ensure an employee conducted himself in an orderly fashion.
What a shock. Draconian punishment for us, slap on the wrist for them. Ho hum

Evra banned and fined by FA
The Commission found that his conduct during a warm-down session following the Chelsea v Manchester United, Premier League fixture on April 26 2008, was improper in that:
a) Mr Evra pushed the Chelsea head groundsman with his chest (as was admitted by Mr Evra)
b) He struck Mr Sam Bethell, a groundsman at Chelsea, on the side of his head
c) He subsequently, ie after the previous incident had begun to calm down, ran back to confront Mr Bethell again (as was also admitted by Mr Evra)
d) Then became involved in a further physical altercation with Mr Bethell.
The Commission considered this was an incident of violent behaviour by Mr Evra which was therefore punished by a suspension for four first team matches as from Monday, December 22 and imposed a fine of £15,000 on Mr Evra.

The silver lining is that we'll have even more evidence that O'Shea sucks after those four matches.
