Manchester United vs Chelsea

Incredibly clever corner by Rooney/Giggs that led to Ronny's disallowed goal
 
Prior to the corners, the lads wanted a penalty when the ball seemed to come off Terry's knee and onto his hand and his arms were all over the place.

We still got a goal, but it could have been a big talking point
 
Manchester United 1 Howard Webb 0

Giggsy's the difference so far

Vidic has really gone up a level in the past year or so. In the past with Rio missing, we'd not have stood a chance in a game like this
 
Howard has made this game hard for us, two peno's tunred down and then that disallowed goal.
 
This is the United we all love. Pure raw determination and heart, scoring again after the first corner was disallowed, absolutely brilliant. Trust Fergie to have given one of the teamtalks of a lifetime to the ladas.

It's interesting that recently we've struggled to break down teams despite dominating possession, but today Chelsea have had more possession and pinned us back at times, and now they will pour even more men forward which will leave them vulnerable for a traditional pacey United counter attack.
 
Need to push on from here now, against Liverpool and Chelsea away we've let them back in it. Should be easier at home because the crowd won't let us ease up but still.
 
I just killed my guinea pig with my celebration. The little man dropped dead of fright. The missus is in tears. I'm confused as to what emotion I should be feeling.

It's not because of you. Nemanja is just a fecking beast and all animals within 500 miles of him have just carked it.
 
Ronaldo has been dire, fecking dire. At this rate, we may as well give Nani a chance once in a while.

Very harsh.

He should have had a goal and that ball round the corner for Park for sublime.

He's actually more involved in proceedings than he ever has been against Chelsea imo.
 
Time to go again. I expect more from our attacking players in the second half. They have been a bit underwhelming. We dare not sit back on this lead as we have seen this season, it wont end well for us.
 
I am eating my words, and very much enjoying it.

Giggs is playing like a champion and im sorry i doubted him, legend.

Shows what i know, never question ferguson

you better make a thread apologizing for calling giggs shite
 
Every player has been phenomenal. Special mention should go to Giggsy, Fletcher and Park.
 
fecking get in, not bothered if my bet doesn't come off (I've got United to win 2-0 and Vida to score first @ 150-1 ;)), just want to get one over on theses blue bastards!!!
 
Fergie = Knighted
Vidic = Machine
Giggs = LEGEND
Park = Pwnded Bosingwa
Rooney = Pwnded Webb
Evans = Steady
Fletcher = Carrick who?
Ronaldo = Nice haircut
Berbatov = muffed shot, jumps high
Neville = Looks 5 years younger than he did 2 months ago
Evra = Welcome back
VDS = Happily unchallenged

United > Chel$ki
 
that disallowed was class and most of all was well within the rules of football and legal.

It would have been harsh to award a penalty for a deflection like that. The initial block was legit then it deflected to his arm and that was unavoidable and not a deliberate attempt. Remember how we all felt Carrick's handball was unjust. Now if the initial block was off the arm then hell yes it's a penalty.

:(:lol:

that was the saddest but also funniest thing ive read all day.

Sorry if that offends you.
 
Carragher says not really a penalty and the other two say it was and Carraghers head drops :lol:

He looks so bitter
