William Gallas tears into the Premier League for leaving him out of his Chelsea 2005/06 team

William Gallas has teared into the Premier League after they didn't include him in their Chelsea from the 2005/06 season.

The official Premier League Instagram account regularly post images on their account of a classic side, with names hidden and only nationalities visible for people to guess.

It was quite apparent that it was Chelsea's side which won a second consecutive league title under Jose Mourinho - however the choice of left-back raised a few eyebrows.

Asier Del Horno got the nod but Gallas actually played more times than him that season. The Spaniard made 25 appearances in the top flight, compared to Gallas' 34.

And having missed just four games across the campaign and making the PFA Team of the Year, the ex Arsenal defender fumed at his snub with a comment and felt disrespected.

"Surprising to note that the Premier League has excluded me from the Chelsea's 2005/06 typical team," Gallas wrote on social media.

"With 33 appearances as start XI and 5 goals in the premier League, Being voted as a left back in the Premier League team of the season 2005/2006.

"I say to myself that something has gone seriously wrong somewhere!!"

Gallas was a centre-back by trade but deputised brilliantly as a right-footed left-back and was part of a formidable defensive unit alongside Ricardo Carvalho, John Terry, Paulo Ferreira and goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Chelsea conceded just 22 goals in the league on the whole, accruing 91 points and finishing 8 points ahead of Manchester United.

Gallas also filled in at right-back and even in defensive midfield on occasion but ended up leaving for Arsenal in the summer as part of a swap deal involving Ashley Cole.

Controversially wearing the No.10 shirt as a defender, he made 142 appearances across four seasons before adding another London club to his collection when he signed for rivals Spurs in 2010.

Gallas retired in 2014 after a stint in Australia with Perth Glory.
