Oneills and that area iirc, was working away and ended up there. Carnage.

Haha, nowt to bad. Head further in to town, yates/cuban/oceania etc etc.. gets more fun

Contact started outside the box, according the rules it is a freekick and not a penalty.

Would have taken the red card and freekick over nothing xD Hard to say where exactly Evra makes contact though

No it isn't, contact started 3 yards outside the box. He still took him out with a clear chance on goal though, all the ref has to decide is 'was he the last man?'. Personally I think 80/20 he should have walked, there was no intent but it was clumsy and denied him a clear shot on goal. Shit happens though, in many United v Chelsea games it has gone your way and this time it went ours, would love to see consistent reffing but that is never going to happen.

 

[Everz]

Well.. my confidence is gone. We are down

 

[cHodAX]

Ouchie, I wasn't expecting that score at full time nevermind half time.

 

[megadave]

were the goals good?

 

[cHodAX]

I knew Gary Neville was joining Sky but wasn't aware he was going to be a full replacement for Andy Gray.

Seems an odd thing to do, take someone who isn't a proven pundit and putting him in a full colour commentary position.

 

[Corran]

8 changes to the Man Utd team. Win or Lose, I am sure there will be moans about them not being punished for fieliding a "weakened" team as you get regularly. Which is understandable even if they are mainly still international players coming in.

 

[Vladamir]

Torres on the bench for a home game against Wigan? Fuck me Carlo has lost it

 

[Corran]

I bet he done it because his position was questioned with the fact he playing a player that been shite since arrival.... big man up the top wont be happy i bet though as this is a game which you would expect torres to be able to get his first goal.

Got a stream ready for the man utd game. Looks good so hopefully it stays up

 

[Vladamir]

Exactly, I would've been looking for Malouda Anelka and Drogba to start up top against United on Tuesday, if we play 2 in the middle there we will just get raped again.

 

[Bahumat]

Man United's 4-3-3/4-5-1 looks nice with the pace on the wings. Was expecting both Hernandez and Berbatov to start

 

[Corran]

I think you are right Vlad, definately need to look to control the midfield at old trafford if want the result. 4-3-3 is your best chance

 

[cHodAX]

A few too many changes today for my liking.

 

[cHodAX]

Gwan!

 

[Corran]

fucking lovely balance and touches from Nani there. Nice slotted finish by Berbatov but very tight to being offside, though think the decider is that it more his arm that ahead of the defender thus not offside as cant legally play the ball with that part of the body

 

[Bahumat]

Haha if only Anderson could shoot!

 

[cHodAX]

My granny could have scored from there Ando.

 

[cHodAX]

Very strange, pitch at Old Trafford has been made narrower by about 4-5 yards from what I can see. Odd when we are heavily reliant on wingplay these days, could have understood it before the Chelsea game as the pitch at the bridge is very narrow but it makes no sense today.

 

[Vladamir]

Sturridge scores for the 5th time in 8 games, remind me why he went out on loan? :|

 

[Urgluf]

because we need torres to win the CL!

Aye, still he will come back with a strong season under his belt, they need to hang onto him now though and offload some of the dead wood.

 

[Bahumat]

Man Utd playing very well. Hope we can get a second goal as you never know what a team talk can do to a team at half time. Would prefer us to try and seal it within the first half.

 

[Corran]

Probably figured they get it narrowed now so we ready for the Chelsea game. Probably figured that the extra few yards against Fulham wont matter too much.
