No doubt Webb is just trying to throw us off the scent. But we KNOW that he's got his briefing papers from Castle Fucking Greyskull ffs.

The Chilean and Mexican commentators at Fox Deportes are taking the piss when the cameras showed Sluralex bitching to the assistant ref.

"...but he's always called those for us"

Not so sure about it, as it's never easy when defender actually got ball first.

1-0 Sturridge did superbly and his cross hit Evans and bounced in.

De Gea...........

I didn't know Own Goals got a transfer to Chelsea.

Man. Utd. have only themselves to blame for not being ahead - they dominated but kept the game at a slow pace, which is quite unlike them.

Young was too busy diving instead of running hard at the defenders, and Valencia is spending more time defending than exploiting Bosingwa.

It's funny to see Rooney try all those fancy diagonal through passes - brains of Iniesta but execution of Heskey so far.

And it's funny to see how inept De Gea and Torres look, purely due to a massive lack of confidence.

What do you think a great GK i.e Casillas would do in that kind of situation?

Ivanovic makes a clean tackle, and 3 Chelsea passes later, Howard Webb decides it's a free kick for Man. Utd. WTF

Halftime 1-0.

Shocking to see the decline in quality between this and previous Chelsea-Man. Utd. games.

Casillas certainly would have saved it unlike that ex Atleti sillyprick BUT more than anything I was chuckling at his misfortune. He got the last touch before the ball went onto Evans and into the net. Nothing is going his way, even if it is not necessarily his fault.

Taken on its own its a pen on Wlbeck but there were 2 definite fouls not given to Chelsea (Rafael on Torres and Evra on Sturridge) which led to that counter.

What I found odd is how he kept one hand on the post - he was too afraid of leaving a gap a la Almunia, so he needed the hand there to make sure he was positioned correctly. Not necessarily linked to the goal, though perhaps if he was a bit freer to move he could have got more of his foot to deflect the ball.

Either way, it's a clear sign of inexperience, and also a little bit lack of technique. Not his fault though, you'd expect things like that at his age, the mistake is Ferguson forcing him into the no. 1 role as the goalkeeper of a top club, where you can't afford such things.

Yep both teams are shit compared to what they used to be.The contrast to Serie A in terms of the tactics is fascinating, it looks like a Sunday League game out there as usual in the DPL,huge spaces in front of Chelseas defense where Rooney is normally unmarked.

The only thing more hilarious than Rooneys diving today is his hair,it looks like Chelsea players aren't allowed to tackle anymore or it's an instant free kick to United.

I hope it finshes 1 - 1.

What a beautiful finish from Mata.

That is fucking epic from Mata. Beautiful...I love it when those kinds of volleys go in.


2 goal of the season contenders today: Cisse and Mata

Great goal by Mata, but I've missed it because the national TV fuck the moment with an interactive quiz

3-0 zip

David Luiz scores now. Absolutely no marking from Man Utd.

OG Ferdinand

The good news is Puro is losing his cash today

Man Utd defence gone to pot. No surprise really when you look at it. Ferdinand and Evra both past-it, Evans is mediocre and Rafael better attacking than defending. Add in an unconfident keeper and perhaps even Torres can score today

3-0, what is Howard Webb doing.

The only thing that Puro knows..... Is what is going to come out of his mouth next........Sad thing is we all know what it will be as well........

There you go Puro
