As far as I am aware, United and Liverpool didn't agree to the poppies. All 18 other Prem teams did.

burnley were not wearing poppies yesterday

killwill · 08-11-2009 5:31pm

That was a waste by Giggs

Oh ok. I think it was Today FM I had heard it. Sorry for mis-informing.

kenon · 08-11-2009 5:35pm

VDS is impressing me.

Agent Smith · 08-11-2009 5:36pm

Savage save by VDS

Aidric · 08-11-2009 5:37pm

The game is passing Anderson by, good match so far.

Aidric · 08-11-2009 5:38pm

Nice play, Giggs could have smashed it.

blackbetty69 · 08-11-2009 5:38pm

o shea isnt attacking an awful lot.. thats inviting cole on... savage save by vdr

killwill · 08-11-2009 5:38pm

Carrick doing ok too tbf. Final third is where we are quiet. Wate of another opportunity there. Things just are not clicking.

whatawaster · 08-11-2009 5:39pm

terrible from Rooney with Anderson free in the middle

KittyeeTrix · 08-11-2009 5:39pm

Can't watch the match so just reading the live update on sky sports centre.
Seems that chelsea are really dominating the game.

Is that a true reflection of the game and who is switched off for united in that case???

MagicMarker · 08-11-2009 5:39pm

Rooney being selfish for once! Who'd a thunk?

Kev_ps3 · 08-11-2009 5:40pm

Prob a goal if Rooney bothered to pass it:rolleyes:

killwill · 08-11-2009 5:40pm

Jesus our decision making in the final third is ridiculous. Should be 2 up imo

Man Utd have dominated the majority but Chelsea coming into it more over the last 10-15 minutes or so.

blackbetty69 · 08-11-2009 5:40pm

dont think rooney will get a break up front on his own with terry and carvalho in his way..theyr defendin well

Frisbee · 08-11-2009 5:40pm

Silly piece of play from Rooney. Should have put Anderson in straight away, awful decision

Headshot · 08-11-2009 5:42pm

ref is a ****ing joke

blackbetty69 · 08-11-2009 5:42pm

ooh looks a nasty collision that

Mitch Connor · 08-11-2009 5:42pm

Disgrace that the ref only stops the game when chelsea lose possession. Should either have been stopped immediately or let play on. This ref is a disgrace.

niallk · 08-11-2009 5:42pm

That's ridiculous refereeing.

I wouldnt say that, chances have been for both teams but its very tight in midfield. Neither team is dominating but I get the feeling that tiredness will change that over time. There'll only be a goal in it

PHB · 08-11-2009 5:43pm

ouchies.

Typical reffing though, didn't stop it when they were in possession, no head injury, United in possession, then he stops it. Just silly. All we're ever looking for is some bloody consistancy.

the ref again :mad:

MagicMarker · 08-11-2009 5:47pm

Jesus christ how was that not a foul? Lampard tried to push him out to the car park!!

killwill · 08-11-2009 5:47pm

Valencia clearly pushed off the ball there.

Kev_ps3 · 08-11-2009 5:47pm

Clear foul there, ref beyond a joke..

PHB · 08-11-2009 5:47pm

What the **** ref, how is that not a foul by Terry, jesus. Yellow too

Theresalwaysone · 08-11-2009 5:48pm

Ref is terrible. Really bad. Good game though.

Not sure, but i think it might be Jason Cundy...

Aidric · 08-11-2009 5:48pm

Utd have become very sloppy in the last ten, Chelsea getting a lot of possession and crosses in.

playing against 12 men. Its tough.

Theresalwaysone · 08-11-2009 5:50pm

Though United were marginally the better team in that half.

Im much more optimistic now than I was. Still like to see giggs actually compose himself on the ball and sort out his passing.

PHB · 08-11-2009 5:51pm

Evans playing a stormer, as is Anderson and Fletcher. Giggs isn't offering much currently and I think he's tiring. We could lose him for Obertan I think in an attacking sub around the 60th/70th, especially if we go behind.

Tight game, but I'm happy from a United point of view. Ref annoyed me there with two decisions but overall it's been a solid first half, from both teams.

kenon · 08-11-2009 5:51pm

I'm really enjoying the game.

I feel united are playing quite well. A few loose passes. Rooney is slightly isolated up front.

VDS is solid, nothing coming off him and he looks confident.

Aidric · 08-11-2009 5:51pm

Good first half of football, Chelsea have really come in to it in the last ten minutes. Valencia and Anderson need to step it up big time.

Headshot · 08-11-2009 5:52pm

happy with that display from utd, only weak point is Giggs
he needs to start getting in gear

nkay1985 · 08-11-2009 5:52pm

Decent first half. Teams pretty much cancelling each other out. Not too much in the way of chances. I think United look very solid at the back when Chelsea are trying to come through the middle. That's leaving us a bit more exposed to crosses though as Evra seems to be tucked in to help stop Chelsea playing through us.

Villain · 08-11-2009 5:53pm

Shocking level of play from 1st and 3rd place, each team is giving the ball away way too often. This really needs a goal

Liam O · 08-11-2009 5:53pm

For an average team with a dodgy defense and a crap midfield, playing against the best team in the world, I'd say Chelsea are doing well

Hank Scorpio · 08-11-2009 5:53pm

giggs and valencia have been poor so far

leninbenjamin · 08-11-2009 5:55pm

I fell asleep.

If you look at a compilation of United goals conceded over the last 2 seasons, the majority will have come form the left back position, due to an absent Evra.

A left back isnt gonna stop everything and those goals vs liverpool were the centre halfs fault in these games...I wouldnt swap Evra for any other left back around. Crazy statement.

considering he's fouled everytime he goes by a Chelsea player then I'd say he's doing ok. It seems that there are only 2 ratings people give to players in here, great and poor, there is a middle ground!
