Chelsea v Man Utd

How was that not a penalty?

Anyways, terrible game, poor performance by loads of players like Heinze, Smith, Richardson and Dong.

Brown was good though.

I think they loved it to be fair.

The 'thats why we're Champions' chant to mock Chelsea was excellent.

Someone owes me back 2 hours of my life - preferbaly a Chelsea fan. Your team are a fucking disgrace

It must have been brilliant for the fans to chant those songs again that you only can when you are champions.

I was just referring to the game in general.

For every top quality game you see you need a few games like this.

It helps even it out.

Absolutely terrible game of football, I cant see how Chelsea didnt thrash that united side.

What made it worse was that Roma beat Inter 6-2 in the Copa Italia and I could have watched that instead.

Not really. Chelsea could have got a bit of pride back with this one - its not as though their squad was cheaply assembeld yet they yet again demonstrated how to create the MOST boring game of football you could ever imagine. I seriously feel cheated.

Sure they played a few reserve players yet their squad cost more than our squad ever has yet they still managed to pretty much send half the planet to sleep.

Bravo Chelsea and go f@ck yourselves

They were on at completely different times?

I didnt have time to watch 2 games of football in a night, I chose to watch the united v Chelsea game. Which was a bad mistake.

Do you think Dong, will play more than 5 games next season. as he looks pretty rubbish.

Was that our first goal less draw of the season?

Rez wrote:Was that our first goal less draw of the season?

Ermmm, yes.

Dong was poor but we all knew that really he was olny bought for the chinese market, after all he only managed 5 goals in 25 appearances in the 2nd division of the belgian league

Dong and Lee looked weak.

Scary that Heinze and Smith looked at that level. Neither can trap a ball for fucks sake. Get Rid!!!

Funniest moment of the season for me.

SAF PWNES JM Again!

Not really. In fact, it was pretty disgraceful, yet if we hadn't done it, the press would have been after our blood.

Fergie should have sent the likes of Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs etc onto the pitch (even if it were in their suits) to receive this guard of honour. In a way, I'm very disappointed about this.

As for the penalty shout, I don't think Essien touches him. Even if he did, it doesn't excuse the fact Eagles should've been sent off almost immediately after.

Poll once again proves he is the worst referee in the league. Somehow he manages to make controversy out of a meaningless game.

Another game where we didn't take chances.

Ratings:

Cudicini 6 - f@ck all to do.
Ferreira 5 - Still unconvincing.
Essien 6 - Rarely troubled, but a couple of rash moments.
Terry 6.5 - Very comfortable evening.
Bridge 7 - > Ashley Cole, but I know who I'd prefer to face Ronaldo.
Makelele 6 - A few misplaced passes.
Diarra 6 - Got forward a couple of times, needs to improve final ball.
Mikel 7.5 - Gonna dominate midfields for years to come. Not far off from being something special already. My MOTM today, although he made a shocking tackle.
Sinclair 4 - Needs to improve his upper body strength.
SWP 7 - A couple of world class crosses. Think he may become more and more involved in this setup.
Kalou 5 - A few moments of quality, but rarely troubled.

Blame that on United putting 10 behind the ball.

And it was far from our best side too.

You had to be on the other side to find it funny S4P

You could say GOH is for club, not players who actually play in the game although it is a flimsy excuse.

@ S4P

Couple of the Man United players who did not play ; Giggs, Ronaldo, Evra, Vidic , Neville etc did a 'lap of honour'

Oh ok fair enough, I didn't see this.

Forget the talentless Sissoko and the tactically naive Diaby, Mikel is the real New Vieira. Essien is also still relatively young so in 2/3 years this midfield is gonna be too good.

Not very creative though.

He's young and its his first season in a new league, Henry had a similarly indifferent first season. IMO he has all the qualities to be the best striker in the PL, just wait 2 years.

Mikel is the next in line for the overhyped new Viera's.

Good news for Sissoko, Diaby and Fletcher

Give Diaby a chance Shazlx. Obi Mikel hasn't been pushed out to the left hand side of midfield for a large amount of games this season like Diaby.

I do rate Mikel very highly though.

Don't stick Fletcher in there. He's Scotland's answer to Zinedine Zidane.

How so? IMO it will be just as if not more creative than Scholes-Carrick, Pittit- Vieira.

He doesn't have to be, if we're gonna play Essien in midfield, and at least 1 wide player.

After tonight, this is the midfield I'd like to see next season:

Joe Cole--Mikel--Essien--Robben

With SWP getting more and more minutes.

If only Robben and JC could be fit at the same time though.

Soory swarpy, I'm drunk and very pissed off

I said he is tactically naive - I'm sure he'll improve with age. He will be v. close to Mikel but I think Mikel will be better.
