[Justin]

16-12 fouls in favour of Chelsea, feckin ref

 

[rrarraroon]

Louis, I love you, I hate you, I don't know what to say.

 

[Swerny]

I thought Ronnie, Heinze and Vida were fantastic, with honourable mention to Carrick and Gaz

 

[Liverpool_FC Bollocks]

Why the feck did Ronaldo go off? There was nothing wrong with him, the posing twat.

 

[Aporkalypse]

Carricks a light weight. Give up the number 16 you cockney!

He's Geordie you bellend, and he played well today.

 

[ste_michaels]

rooney is shit, so is oshea and giggs

have you always been a cnut?

 

[Ballache]

carrick, heinze, vida and ronaldo were by far our best players tonight

 

[Jacob]

Ronaldo was Godlike. feck, we needed this win.. We are apparently very bad at defending a result.

 

[ooeat0meoo]

Impeccable performance from the United defence.

Heinze was class.
Its simple Evra is better at attacking and Heinze is way better at defending than evra.

 

[Red Dreams]

Ronaldo was magic...

really thought we would beat them...

we gave them possession from that strange Giggs free kick... oh well.

we did not have any firepower to bring on...we absolutely need another striker in Jan

 

[olesmyhero]

Should have been 3 points to us. Disappoint result, but the lads played well.

 

[The Murray]

He's Geordie you bellend, and he played well today.

Seconded.Very impressed with carrick today. We just never took our chances.Good performance.

 

[charleysurf]

1-1.
Fair result. Although we should have had a penalty and Drogba should have been off, Chelsea came back well in the 2nd half. The big thing between the teams is Chelsea squad (financial) advantage. They could bring on someone like Robben to increase their threat. We had no one to bring in. When Saha and Ronaldo went off injured we had no equivalent players on the bench.
The strength in depth is why, although we're 3 points clear, Chelsea are still favourites to win the title.

We just have to hope Louis and Cristiano get back soon. We really need them for the Benfica game.

Ratings
VDS 6 Couple of dodgy clearances, bot sure if he could have done better with the goal
Vidic 8 Solid
Rio 8 Solid
Gary Nev 7 fine
Heinze 7 OK defensively, not so sharp going forward
Carrick 8 MOTM Best game from him yet, great passing, good tackles
Scholes 8 easily handled Lampard
Giggs 7 Some bad final balls at times but played well overall
Ronaldo 7 Some great runs
Saha 7 Great goal
Rooney 7 Seemed too quiet in the 2nd half

 

[CheadleBeagle]

We played well but Chelsea took it to us in the 2nd half and I think they looked more likely to win it in the end. Too bad we missed the two early chances in the 2nd half. Overall a fair result.

 

[2red4U]

lucky cnuts
hadn't Saha touched the ball, VDS would have saved it
still, not a bad result
we haven't lost, and we are still 3pts ahead

You really are a stupid cnut aren't you. Ronaldo obviously saw there was something more to be gained by leaving the pitch a few minutes away from the whistle. Good one. He was our best play today, all you do is talk shit.

 

[ntripunovski]

I'm sooo angry right now. Stupid way to lose very vailible points. Rooney fail to delever his usual play. Only Vidic was absolut class today

You back talking shit again? gave you the benifit of the doubt last time but you obviously are an idiot.... that talks bollocks. Billy...

Rooney was alright, he just wasn't... well, Rooney.

 

[Im red2]

Carrick done very well today, he is fitting in nicely.

VDS had it covered true. But Sahas eyes are on the front side of his head so he could not have known that he was there with his hand. Ah well come on Bolton on tuesday.

Where do you get programme notes from?

...err, out of the programme...

I'm not saying it's Saha's fault, it's just we were unlucky

 

[afrocentricity]

2red4u, Imred2...

are you related?

 

[2red4U]

2red4u, Imred2...

are you related?

yes, we're both United fans

 

[True Treble Reds]

On almost every corner (or free kick that makes it into the box) either Terry, Carvalho, Drogba or some other cnut is blatantly fouling a defender to gain an advantage for the other offensive player, Terry yanked down Vidic on this occassion.

Watch some replays, the f'kers get away with it all the time.
