Last warning.
Started typing before I saw this :l I'm going back to the game now. =)Michael2010-04-04 02:22:14What the f**k? One metre offside, that is f**king ridiculous. That linesman should be f**king shot and never be allowed to officiate any game ever again!
what makes me even f**king angrier is that we just scored and the score should be 1-1. f**k YOU LINESMAN

Loved the bickering on the other page. I lol'd heartily.
I watched this game with about 10 United supporters who were beautifully one-eyed. They were fuming over the offside (fair enough) but couldn't see how it effectively got evened out by a handball goal.
A draw would have been perfect but was not going to happen - Chelsea were the far better side.

Second time in a week that United were second best(first half anyway) To day there were at least 4 players who were having poor games and when you are playing a team at least as good as you, then you are going to get beaten. That is what happened and it was a fair result over the 90mins.
I said months ago that Chelsea would win the lesgue, and although there is still hope I think they will.

i thought giggs was quiet (not so much poor), scholes was bad and neville was very bad. he should probably think of giving it up.

fletcher played alright. scholes was off and neville was being dicked by malouda, should have subbed him for rafael, at least he has the pace to keep up with him.
i can't get why everyone is going on "oh but you guys got a handball goal"
what seems more obvious to you? a striker that is one metre in front of the defensive line right in front of the linesman?
or a striker who is in the middle of a jumble in the box who charges the ball in the midst of a lot of defenders and manages to contact with his hand.
referee got both wrong, but should have easily got the offside right.

I think I am one of Utd's biggest supporters, but the fact is they were NOT the best team on the day.
If you are looking for average performances, in the first half for sure. Neville,Scholes, Fletcher,Park, Valencia and Evra. You cannot expect any team to foot it with Chelsea with so many players being off.
We had no pace and when Narni came on things changed.
He should have started.

even easier would have been to award a penalty for nevilles jump/tackle/fall on malouda thing[/QUOTE]Giving Park's would've been just as simple.
[QUOTE=Downey26] i thought berba was ok but wasnt getting alot of service, the difference with rooney is he would have gone back and got the ball himself and created something. both very different strikers
Disagree with part of this... Berba was coming back to get the ball when he shouldn't of. He was playing his general supporting striker role when he really needed to just sit as far forwards as possible as a lone striker.

neville's "challenge" was a definite penalty, surely no one could argue with that
park's more arguable, but i still thought it could easily have been given as well. He made the most of it but there was contact and the defender was clumsy
all in all i think a fair result today?

Deserved win for Chelsea. But can't agree with all the hype about Neville foul and penalty. For me he just blocked Malouda (or was it Anelka actually?) so Vidic/Rio (not sure here) can kick the ball away. This is how I see it.

he jumped on him and took him to the ground, as clear a penalty as you will see

All action game this one. i haven't seen United play this good for some time. Fair dues, excellent goals. Second half promises to be a cracker.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!
