It's Saturday, it's Chelsea, it's a penalty ... the Chelsea centre forward ran into the penalty area along with a defender, slight contact possibly but then we see the arched back and the collapsing in a heap. It's bad enough that Chelsea were awarded an unfair penalty but the defender was sent off. Not good that.
In the same way, Kenwyne Jones was sent off in the Sunderland match as a result of an opposing player collapsing in a heap after a push by Jones. However, the opposing player collapsed while holding his face as if he had been punched by Jones. The replay shows nothing of the kind: Jones did NOT punch anyone. Not good that.

Jones is a troubled man and really unlucky. The fouls he has to put up with are terrible and he takes them and I've never seen him go down or cheat. Your modern ref probably doesn't understand a player like Jones these days.
Did the chelsea player go off for a bit of treatment. Drogba started that one and now everyones doing it. Including the barely touched west ham player.
Now look, I'm not saying that Italian managers are bringing these sophisticated cheating methods into the English game at all. These incidents are entirely unrelated and it's just coincidence. Look Benitez is Spanish and his side cheats really badly too and Ferguson is a Jock and he bullies refs. So I've proved nothing really have I.
