Manchester United vs Chelsea

[marcus agrippa]

Did anyone else think the ref accidentaly pulled out a red card, didn't want to look like a twat, so just held it up?

He seemed to look at the card a bit bemused at first.

I'm not complaining however

John Terry was trying to restrain him from pulling it out. Dean told him to shove off*.




*not necessarily verbatim.

and what the fuk was this all about "was never a red card but these things happen at Old Trafford."?

its called jealousy

Very fortunate lead for Man utd, thought Chelsea had done well in the first half and apart from that Rooney curler early on your lot have just huffed and puffed. Chelsea to be fair have been the same and seem to get forward very quickly and then not have a clue as to what to do, no real pace in that side nor is their a target man to get the ball quickly up to. Nice goal by Tevez though, good anticipation to get there ahead of Cech.

Shocker of a decision to see Mikel sent off, was never a red card but these things happen at Old Trafford. The players quickly surrounded the ref to put more pressure on him, Evra took a nice little leap before dropping down so it was bound to happen.

10 shots on goal to 1 with 57% possesion and 2 penalties denied - yes "huffed and puffed" would be the appropriate term that comes to mind.

 

[Mihajlovic]

12 :2 shots
7 : 9 fouls
8 : 1 corners
57% possession

So what about that penalty we should have had you big twat

Just seen a replay of Tevez goal. That was a real good header. He really bulldogged that in

Clearly just huffed and puffed.

 

[marcus agrippa]

You really think the ref pulled out a red instead of a yellow because he was surrounded by players? Harsh decision but only because the ref is an idiot. He's sent off 4 players in his last 5 games now.

red card was deserved IMO. if Evra hadn't gotten out of the way, he'd have lost his ligaments...

You usually see people get yellows for it though.

Its just that Evra moves so fast it probably looked worse than it was.

 

[Lady In Red]

Carrick has given the ball away twice already

 

[Mihajlovic]

Cmon United!!! Lets huff and puff again like we did in the first half!

The hypocrisy!!!

 

[Drifter]

Green believes we were given far to much injury time to score that goal

 

[UBERScholes]

Rooney knees Makelele in the face by accident

Rooney can't help that Makelele is 4" high

 

[Mihajlovic]

makalele wimp

 

[Tiberius Aquila]

Is Rio looking alright now, not limping or anything?

 

[cloud218]

its called jealousy

Clearly Mikel didn't deserve a red, and clearly United didn't deserve to get any penalties.

(sarcasm)

 

[kiddaa]

chelsea playing as if they are 1-0 up

 

[Mihajlovic]

looks like Rio is ok

 

[Red Haze]

How's Ronaldo been? Not heard much about him...?

Carrick - Poor or good?

 

[Drifter]

Nice pass Carrick

 

[Ronaldo No.9]

We dont want to make the same mistake as last season when we just sat back in the second-half and Chelsea eventually found a way through.

 

[Justin]

Makelele gives up a dangerous freekick taking Ronaldo out

 

[SirOla]

didnt that new israeli coach want chelsea to play more attacking football. well i've never seen chelsea this passive. ronaldo to score!

 

[Lady In Red]

Roonie step away

 

[Justin]

Tevez to take please

 

[Tiberius Aquila]

looks like Rio is ok

thank you

 

[Twisted_Woody]

Shite free kick.

 

[cloud218]

I know it's slow...but what is Sven doing there in the seats?

 

[Mihajlovic]

doesnt happen very often but i love the ref today

 

[Justin]

I know it's slow...but what is Sven doing there in the seats?

He wants the Chelsea job?

 

[Lady In Red]

Carrick = better excellant is Evra

 

[cloud218]

Come on, United. You're up against a 10-men team! Score!

 

[Dreaded]

Nice to see some else taking the free kicks

 

[Mihajlovic]

"53' Not much to report at the moment. Both sides seem content to size each other up with little impetus going forward. Certainly the home side do not look eager to finish their visitors off."

[Lady In Red]

Giggs?!?!?!

 

[UBERScholes]

What a fecking ball from Carrick there, genius

 

[Justin]

Giggs can't get it on target, great ball by Carrick
