Wooop! Great result! a lot better than the performance or game really. The red card swung the game in our favour but really after the 1st goal we should have attacked more or got Saha on sooner to seal it. We controlled the game but still they could have nicked a goal but luckily we didn’t give them any chances and Saha finished it off.
Mikel HAHAHAHA Who are ya? Who are ya?
Joe Cole should have gone too but the ref was never going to send him off as well.
All in all a great win #thumb#
I had a fiver on Utd to win 2-0 as well, should have put more on though!

Well chuffed today, mainly because I've just informed my chav colleagues of the result yesterday! The miserable git's. I got the usual responses; it wasn't a red card, too much injury time, saha dived, no penalty, lucky bastards blah blah. Well, perhaps some of those points are valid. However, there is the following: - - the cole tackle on evra was a penalty (even Rudd I'm a chelsea fan you know' gullit said so) - mikel deserved to be sent off for turning us down - the twat - joe cole should have walked for scything down ronaldo I was impressed with Carrick and Brown yesterday. Good to see Carrick perform well as he had received plenty of flack on this forum of late. I think Man U looked a little lost in the second half; they didn't know whether to go for the kill or rest on 1-0. Overall, I was pleased with the result and the performance. We're slowly improving and the Tevez goal should help his confidence. With the Neviller and Hargreaves close to full fitness, things are on the up.

i first dreamed we won 7-0 and later i think I dreamed we won 3-0 Although that would be absolutely fabulous, I don't think it's very likely. We can beat them , offcourse, but 7-0 don't seem very realistic. 2-0 would be just fine BTW, I can't go to the game, but I'll sure be singing and chanting at home! All of you who are going to the game - SING YOUR HEARTS OUT!!! Your team needs you, don't let them down!!! United!!! United!!! #unitedbanner# See?! I predicted the score right!! Great game, and even better result :-) I think we're finally getting back in the right shape. But most of all, it feels so great beating Chelski twice in less than 2 months!!! #clap#

New manager, same Chelsea. The sportsmanship was shocking after Rooney was injured and we knocked the ball out. They didn't even pass it back. They deserved everything they got. It was a harsh red but by then we should already have had a penalty so call that 1-0. We were all over them up to that point anyway and im sure we would have won and Joe Cole should have gone. Avram Grant seems to have copied Mourinho's ways with his bitching. That thing about the ref playing 3 minutes instead of 2. What a joke! When a team is attacking, the whistle never goes until it is cleared. Its not United's or the refs fault if Chelsea can't clear the ball and they had plenty of chances too. All in all it was a deserved win and a wonderfull 3 points earned. Im not gonna let the media, referees, Avram Grant and the Chelsea fans get in the way of a brilliant day.

Hello friends,
I am sorry I was away for so long but I'm back now and what a great Saturday morning at the barwatching the Reds dismantle helpless Chutski.
Carrick was my man of the match for his pinpoint deliveries throughout. Could have easily been 4-0. We're rolling now!
Come on United!

That thing about the ref playing 3 minutes instead of 2. What a joke! When a team is attacking, the whistle never goes until it is cleared.. Speaking as a qualified ref myself, that isn't true. The ref can blow at any time with the ball in play, not just when it is cleared in these circumstances. Haven't you ever seen a ref blow when the ball is in the air from a corner kick, for example? Time added on is at the ref's discretion and he has the right to add time on to added time, if you get my drift! Personally, I think we were lucky he allowed play to continue past the corner being taken because there was no time wasting within the extra 2 minutes, but hey, I'm not complaining! Overall he had a bad game (missed Evra's penalty and harshly sent Mikel off) and he then tried to atone for his errors by letting Cole off his tackle on Ronny (definite red) and awarding the soft penalty against Saha. This is human nature and I know I've done it myself (and then played the game over and over in my head for days!) It balanced out, we got the win we deserved and momentum is growing. Now we need to continue it and catch Le Arse!

great game. dominated them. Skis were lost and resorted to violence when they knew we are good. 2-0 is a great scoreline considering the opponent is a big team. Mikel sux. J. Cole and Cashley sux. Most importantly we broke the 1 nil margin! and we score 2.

Now we need to continue it and catch Le Arse! Yeah, I suppose I have seen that. I remember a Wimbeldon game a few years ago when the ref blew just as the player got his head to it and put it in. There was controversy but the goal was disallowed. Fair point. However I am right in thinking that injury time is a minimum time of X minutes so the ref may have felt that more time was needed e.g a delay in Giggs taking the initial corner (the goal did come as a result of Chelsea clearing the ball from a corner didn't it - Totally forgot)...

My highlight of the game was the timing of the goals and not for obvious reasons. A lot of people around me had decided to leave for a pie or to miss the traffic when both goals went in so it was great to see them get their just rewards. #Wa#
