Chelsea's Anelka supports banned Drogba

Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka is unhappy with the three-match ban Didier Drogba copped for his coin-throwing incident this week.

Anelka said: "Didier returned a coin which supporters had thrown at him. It is not something serious. It is a gesture among others.

"When I was playing in Turkey [for Fenerbahce], during derbies, I got hit by things on the head and I never answered. But it is sometimes hard to keep your nerve."
