Andre Villas-Boas says Chelsea aren’t out of control

HITTING BACK ... Andre Villas-Boas

CHELSEA manager Andre Villas-Boas insists his stars are not out of control after the club were charged by the FA with haranguing ref Chris Foy.

And AVB is standing by every word of his verbal attack on Foy following Sunday's 1-0 loss at QPR.

The Blues' nine cards in that one game is a new Premier League record.

Jose Bosingwa, Didier Drogba and Ashley Cole all miss tonight's Carling Cup clash at Everton.

And Villas-Boas cannot risk John Terry or Frank Lampard as one more booking would leave them banned from Saturday's key game against Arsenal.

But AVB insisted: "There is no indiscipline and there is no aggressiveness in my players.

"But the referee was card-happy and that's why I stick by what I said."
