Thanks, Chelsea impressed me as well, I'll be interested to see if Ronaldo plays against your lot next week. Also I see you'll both be a Centre Back down with Vidic and Terry both getting Red Cards, I understand Chelsea will appeal over Terry's though.
 
hopefully we do get that red card reversed, everyone i have talked with so far, even non-chelsea fans, seem to agree that it was a bad descision, it was a foul yes, but surely not a red card. as for vidic's card, he quite frankly got what he deserved. if ronaldo does return, i hope he doesnt make to much of an impact, although united's one man team hasent done very well without him. we shall see, we shall see.

They did a good comparison on MOTD between Terrys' foul and the foul on Keane. Terry was clearly not the last defender and at least one other would have prevented Jo (I think that's who it was) from going all the way. On the other hand Keane had a good chance of a straight run in on goal and that was only a yellow. Some consistency would be nice.

Having said that, Terrys' was a blatant professional foul and anything they can do to stamp that sort of thing out should be encouraged.
