The FA are a complete joke of an organization. Where was the charge against Man U last week when they surrounded the ref in a much more intimidating fashion in the Newcastle match? Completely inconsistent or worse. After all Chelsea and Man U surround the ref in nearly every match and receive nothing.
Mind boggling.
Salt in wound is all I have to say.
edit: I read this comment on another site. Quite fitting I thought:
"Our player is sent off for tackling during a game and so the club is charged with failing to stop him making a tackle.
You just couldn't make it up."

This is ridiculous! That tackle was clean, and the only reason it could have been a foul at all was because he had his foot up on the follow through. Most refs probably wouldn't have even called it a foul, but at most it deserved a yellow.
Did Chelsea get charged when Torres got his red? That tackle was WAY worse.
Edit: I misinterpreted your post. I thought the charge was for the tackle itself, but it is for the players reaction after the tackle. Still ridiculous.
