Manchester United vs. Chelsea

That should be game over then.

That didn't change anything really. Only thing it did was mean there would be no extra time. Chelsea needed two goal at kick off, and two goals will still win it for them.
 
What a Beauty of a goal that was :drool:

Rooney has been out of this world. Park has been fantastic as well. Nothing changes for Chelsea though. They still need 2 goals to go through.
 
where do commentators come up with these shite sayings? "the man with the longer lasting batteries" lol
 
Great end to the half. Same intensity at the start of the 2nd please, and let's get that second.

Come on United, fecking come on!
 
The young and the old combine yet again. Giggsy you legend and Hernandez you future legend!
 
nothing wrong with that first half , yes we gave Chelsea a bit to much of the ball but they did nothing with it.
Terry is a dirty cnut and we caused them just has many problems has they caused us and we topped it off with a cracking goal.
No need for any changes at half=time , team is going well.
 
How great has Hernandez been this season. Chelsea trying to assault him but he just gets up and gets going
 
RvN1776 Ruud van Nistelrooy
What a player! What a person! Ryan giggs!
 
Rooney has just been unreal.

Bit dodgy at the back at times, O Shea on a yellow against Malouda and Cole is a worry.
 
We really stepped it up in the late part of the first half. Need to continue it, second goal will kill it, now it isn't yet over.
 
Giggs and Hernandez will get the plaudits for that half, but hats off to Wayne Rooney.

He's playing some of the best football of his career, and was instrumental in the goal.

His through balls, long passes, dribbling, and volleying have all been on show.
 
so gutted i'm missing this match. Feel like killing myself. atleast we're winning!

C'MON UNITED!!!
 
In the middle of all the goal celebration posts in the newbs there was this. Timing is a bitch.

Can we substitute John O'Shea please? This guy is so limited plenty of our attack has suffered on that right hand side. He cannot cross. . . .he doesn't even know what to do with the ball. What an ass!!!
 
Well, in the end that was a perfect half but feck me this will be tense if Chelsea score.
 
We shouldn't get complacent here.

Chelsea only need a couple to progress with away goals.

Need to keep the ball longer this half, wont be easy with Chelsea going all guns out but we can do it.

Plus we scored at a perfect time. I always prefer us scoring in the middle or end of first half thah right at the start.
 
What a fabulous end to the half.

But Chelsea still need 2 goals to go through, so for them that doesn't change. Of course a goal now won't be enough to force extra time.
 
2 players that made significant contribution for that goal (other than giggs of course) are Carrick and O'Shea. What composure from Carrick and what a pass from O'Shea.
 
Bring Valencia on and rape them!

Great half, despite being under the cosh a lil, I didn't feel we were under any genuine threat although Malouda is buzzing at the moment, very astute move by SAF to play Park on the right to help see him off.

Essien has been horridly anonymous, Frank has played it safe and not really fed Torres with any through balls. As for United, Nani isn't doing much but he's playing a vital role by just being on the pitch if that makes sense. Rooney is back baby, even attempting volleys from 35 yards.. and as for Giggs and Chicarito, jizztastic.
 
A perfect way to end that half, great interlink play between Sheasy & Giggs for the goal & what a buy Hernandez has turned out to be, cracking player.

It looks like Rio has shaken off that knock too, it was touch n' go there for a few minutes.
