GET THE **** IN! HAVE THAT!

Aidric

Sickening result, poor game, rubbish officiating. A draw would have been a fair result on the balance of play.

Drumpot

Ref decisions made the game . . Had united gotten and scored a peno at 1-0., the game would of been completely differant . .

The drogba offside goal was when united owned them . . Well done, the luckiest team won, again . .

In terms of momentum chelski got the better decisions . . Wouldnt expect ABU's to understand what "momentum" means . .

Title in chelsea's hands now. But may day clash with the Pool could ultimately decide the destination of this years title.

Gonzovision

Come on the Blues - Great result !!!!!:D

Vanbis

Absolute crap performance yet again by everyone.

SAF getting the team selection wrong again.

Based on the first 60 mins it's all we deserved, harsh that it came down to a poor desicion by a linesman who had a perfect view of the offside.

sickening.

Dont think so, chelsea deserved the result and three points.

Second half was much better from United, Giggs played sublime. That linesman needs sorting out. We get all the decisions apparently.

So you do not think that Chelsea should have had a pen as well then? it was just as much a pen as the one that Park dived to try and get.

United were unlucky not to get something out of it today....well done to chelsea though for holding out....should be an interesting run in

Pretty limited selection to be fair.

Despite how pissed off I am. We didn't deserve to win today at all. A few shocking performances out there today. We will still win the league IMO.

no, a penalty for United (if scored) would have made it 1-1, it would have taken 1 goal to get level if it wasn't for the linesman. It most definitely went against United imo.

Imo utds penalty claim was weaker than Chelseas absolute stonewall one. Either way both could have been given, so say they were.

Chelseas second and utds goal should have been disallowed. Still 2-1.

I think the match thread for the second leg of the Chelsea / Inter CL tie will make for interesting reading now.

Did i say that? NO.

Nani should have started the game.

The Sparrow

A pen for each team should have been given. Drogba was offside but it looked like handball for Macheda's goal so again it was evened out.

Fair result. Title still not decided yet. Chelsea and Utd both have difficult games ahead.

I would give that tele a bang, giggs was probably the worst player on the pitch.

terrible performance. constantly given the ball away, desicion making was terrible, too slow, didn't fight back when he lost the ball.

Wholesale changes required at United, there's no real quality in the middle of the park, Scholes cant be expected to do what he did ten years ago. Time to make some good signings for a change. I'm sick of watching United lose big games in midfield, anytime we play a good side we're second best. It's all very well scrapping results against Bolton etc... we have to be able to hold our own against top sides for a change.

Chelsea wouldn't have had the ball in United's box like that if if United had gotten the peno, butterfly effect and all that...

Nah ye deserved it today mate overall, United got a head of steam up alright 2nd half but I never had teh usual confidence that they'd get one back tbh.

Also any United fans whinging about officials, just stop, please.

The ball clearly went off his stomach, his hand, arm, bicep, nothing was near the ball.

Oh the irony.

Mr Alan

great result for Chelsea, deserved the win. Offside goal evened out wit Macheda's handball goal.

Sublime compared to the first half

He was much better.

Evra just showed his class today.

SDTimeout

Dean mustn't have been included on united last wage pay out:D:D:D

I enjoyed that game, good for the neutrals imo.

Iago

On balance a draw would have been a fair result, and I didn't think I'd be saying that after the first half.

However, Chelsea took their chances and we fluffed some of ours. They dominated the first half and despite looking a little ropey defensively in the second they threw themselves in the way of everything and held on well to take the victory. Out of our hands with 5 games left but we might see a twist or two yet in the title race.

True, but dont be surpised to see Liverpool's youth team playing Chelsea in the second last game. Shades of 1995. But to be honest I cant see United being there to challenge Chelsea to the end going on the last two performances, United are out of fuel at this stage.

Clearly biased post. How much more anti-United do you want to prove yourself.


Some of the posts on here make me laugh.


Referee and his officials were rubbish. Everything did even out in the end. It's just heat of the moment stuff.


But no matter what you say decisions change the course of a game.

The game won't pan out the same if we had a penalty or Chelsea did.

IvySlayer

Berbatov was very wasteful, 3 or 4 decent chances. Especially that volly on 90 mins....He needs Rooney to tutor him on heading.

how? A one goal lead is a hell of a lot easier to fight back from than a 2 goal lead, United were on top and one goal wasn't out of the question, the second goal decision won it for Chelsea.

Spiritoftheseventies

Second half was very entertaining. to be fair United turned in a much improved display in the second half

You must have missed the contact with Park's legs part.

Exactly, the midfield will run all day and work as hard as any other but thats not much good when you have no class going forward. We have the weakest midfield outta the top4.

Machester United - Not Arrogant - Just Better ......lol

Harpy

ahhh sickened.. united were crap in the first half woke up in the second half.. i think a draw would of been a fair result the ref made some bad decisions but they did even themselves, but we'll never know what differences they would of made.. out of our hands now..
hopefully liverpool or spurs can do us a favour in a few weeks

ntlbell

It just really annoys me that we wait till 60-65 minute before we realise we're in a game.

Fletecher was like a man possed in the second half closed down 3 players from the front to force the kepper to put it out, how can berba not get embarassed when this happens.

Get the game won, then waltz around the place.

Liverpool beat Blackburn in 1995!;)

If United had taken any of the multitude of chances against West Ham they would have won the league.

Never a hand ball.

Sizzler

Chelsea will lose at Anfield so this doesnt bother me too much, its sore but its only 2 pts FFS. Hopefully Spurs will also take a point off them. If Utd win their remaining games I think they'll win the league as Chelsea are going to get caught out on other away days.

Utd got what they deserved today, they were shyte. That 1st half performance was as bad as Munich. No doubt SAF will go baloobas about the 2nd but he has to look at his own team instead of the officials.

Essien

What a match, hard luck Man United, put up a right good fight despite the lack of Rooney.

United had a debatable penalty claim denied in the first half
Chelsea had a debatable penalty claim denied minutes later
Drogba was clearly offside for Chelsea's second goal
Macheda clearly handled the ball for United's goal

^^That's the contentious decisions in a nutshell cancelling themselves out^^

C'mon you Blues

I'd be shocked if after watching that replay you don't see how the ball hit his stomach but his arm was drawn in to then guide the ball
Must watch it again myself but that's how it initially looked to me!!
