He might not have put it too eloquently but he has a point, getting red cards for stuff like that in such a physical sport is ridiculous.

People realise that by quoting the post so often, they've given the troll exactly what they want? Report and ignore such obviously trolling comments.

He's a apparently a 'leader' too. Embarrassing man

DazMarz

Phew... I'll bow out now. The biggest 3 points Chelsea could get. Delighted. Don't care about the manner of it. 3 points is all that matters. Back into 3rd.

Draw against Spurs will be grand now. Win kills them off. But that is a huge result.

Sick to think that Mata's goal was the only goal on "Super" Sunday.

Raf just wants the first go of the college girls in Ibiza.

What's that got to do with Sian Massey?? Raphael lost the head, kicked out and she flagged. She did her job.

Johner

Get in! Deserved win, neither side were great but we were a bit better.

Meh

Kylo Ren

We played with a weakened side and got bet 1-0.

No biggie.

Hank Scorpio

My stream was laggy but it looked like Rafael lashed out at him after the ball had gone, if you're gonna blame someone blame Rafael

Sure when Chelsea beat Spurs on Wednesday Bale will be out the door, mission accomplished.

Pj!

None of that 90mins was in any way enjoyable.

Rayne Wooney

Fair play to Chelsea, got the job done.

GavRedKing

Terrible match, happy with the result but webb was shocking for the 90 mins, terrible.

Pudsy33

I dont want to see Valencia in a UTD shirt again until he sorts himself out.

Massey called it in all fairness

Did she call the red? It was a definite yellow for me. Argument for a red but I don't think so.

Legion.

Buzzing about the result, and I guess I'll have to take down my flag I've been flying for the game at the bridge earlier this season.


bring on spurs.

The_Kew_Tour

Ya well done Chelsea fans.

Have to listen to Spurs/arsenal fans moan now though.

Lord TSC

In fairness, can't do anything but congratulate Chelsea. In fairness to Luis, strikes me he was laughing that he got a free kick in his corner near the end of the game, something which lets him tick the clock down. Still a harsh red though, but I'm sure it won't stop some people thinking Webb is United-biased. :P

madcabbage

Well done to Chelsea, deserved the 3 points. Utd didn't even look that bothered. Very disappointed with Rafael, has had a great season and then does that.

dundalkfc10

He kicks out, attempted to kick him

Read the rules

Its a Red card

That's Luiz making eye contact with a fan behind Massey, also laughing her head off.

edgecutter

United need a midfielder. We had a centre back, winger and a striker in the middle today that is just not on.

Poor team selection by fergie as well.

Chagan

The waiter gets another one over Fergie. Dire match.

BorneTobyWilde

Rafa has Chelsea so organized so compact and full of fight
Winning football

well done rafa, he has beaten fergie again and that's a fahhct

as for webb, did he not get the memo that you ain't suppose to either award penalties against a certain side or send their players off, Fergie may not select Webb for so many big games next season

It was a harsh red card. 9 times out of 10 that gets a yellow.

GavRedKing

Watch us lose to spurs now on Wednesday after this. :pac:

Huge result, absolutely huge result. In the heart of the Chelsea midfield there resides a little Spanish genius by the name of Juan Mata, the difference today between both teams. Always available, always trying to make things happen, always on the move, just terrific.

Defensively we were solid, Azplilicueta excellent at right back. David Luiz, I like him more and more (and I liked him a lot to begin with) he hasn't been at the club long and already he is Chelsea to the core, great display at the back, always talking, driving the team on and playing his part at the end.

Massive 3 points, Champions League football is looking pretty good right now and along with it, a big Summer.

indeed. that should dispell the myth once and for all (not that United fans ever needed it) that Webb is biased towards United.

Thats 3 points that he has gifted ye...

Agreed, never a red, very surprised he got a red for it TBH.

Don't start that, please.

ya, TBH I don think he expects Rafeal to get a red, nobody did, it never was.

I thought it's a pretty clear red card. Like Del Horno on Messi. Luiz' reaction is of no importance:p

All Rafa supporters forget Fergie leads in head to heads and is still superior and don't even try to compare trophies.

edgecutter wrote: »

Not really. I had no problem with the initial selection; he was giving Lindy, Anderson and Clevs a start in a match that was only a step above a friendly. Don't think he or most fans will be that bothered we lost given we're getting the trophy at our next match.

I'd query the subs, and am annoyed by the form of some of the players, but they are already off on holidays anyway.

donfers

game was always going to be dire when you have the worst champions league winners ever versus the worst premier league winning team ever

Aye he has them winning all the way to third at the moment.

Beating a team who have nothing to play for having wrapped up the league with ease..... yeah big time. 20!
