Apparently, no one cares about England or its sports anymore.

Behold Belgian Football! It's the new England!

Hull finally wins a game against Stoke. Hammers are somehow losing to the Toffees at halftime after basically running the show all game. Dempsey got a peno for Fulham as they go in with a 1-1 draw against Wigan at halftime.

Man Utd: Van der Sar, O'Shea, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson, Valencia, Rooney, Giggs.
Subs: Kuszczak, Owen, Vidic, Scholes, Fabio Da Silva, Obertan, Gibson.

That's the line up for United today. I am quite worried for this match and expect to be disappointed.

Calls aren't going to go United's way today as they are the away team. Just how the game goes. If United was home I expect they would get the benefit of the doubt.

John Terry is a master of the accidental elbow to the head. It's quite fun to watch him get away with it over and over and over again.

That should open this game up a little bit, lets see what ManU has now.

Wow that was total BS. Fletcher gets the ball and Brown is fouled, but somehow Chelsea still gets the goal. I know the have been getting calls all day, but thats ridiculous.

Fouling someone and then running with the ball after the whistle goes? Asking to get taken out.

I know he was asking for it, but still, purposeful leg sweep in front of the ref on a dead ball.

game was a snooze fest till about the last 20 minutes. Drogba shouldn't of got the yellow.. If anything straight red for spikes up.... EVERYONE knows that rule.
Drogba got payback with the goal foul though, way to go boys on the possible win.

On a side note, Glad deco is off, he was garbage all match. Manure were very decent looking at the start and the end. Just too much defense on both teams.

GO BLUES!!!!

LordZorch: Is this about that kid's game the rest of the world wants the US to actually give a crap about?

Right, because we all love Americans so much and care about what their opinion is on the world's favourite sport.

Actually, forgive my sarcasm. In reality, most of the rest of the world hates Americans and the only people who care about the US opinion on soccer/football, are those Americans who have their own vested interest in it succeeding there.

For the rest of us, the sport is fine as it is and could care less about you pea-brained war-mongerers. So f*ck off you fat American twat. I'm assuming you're fat, of course. My sincere apologies if you're one of the 5% of Americans who are not.

It wasn't the prettiest or best officiated match in the world, but ManU never really threatened. Pretty fair result if you ask me, but a draw would have been as well.

Missed the buffering goal.

5 points down at this stage of the season is bad, but it is not a disaster. Chelsea have games coming up away to Arsenal and Man City. United don't play one of the big four until the end of January, and are at home to the more difficult teams (Everton, Villa) between now and then. It's time to get going...

PS. Reading that back, I didn't mean to imply that City are one of the big four, just that it could be a difficult game. My sugar daddy is richer than your sugar daddy.

It's not even bad. United don't hit form until the holiday period most years. There is plenty of time to make up the gap. Besides, Chelsea will be missing key players in January because the ACoN.

This year? I'd put City above Liverpool, especially with half of Arsenal's talent. Okay, maybe not half... some... two... one and a half?

Awful refereeing in that match. Evans deserved a send-off in my opinion.

That referee won't be seeing any premier match next week after that performance.

Oh and news flash: According to Alex Ferguson, it's the referee's fault. Again.

Rodrigo Hernandez:

Yes but there's nothing to suggest that anyone has the quality to catch Chelsea.

This isn't last year's ManU or Liverpool. Plus Chelsea can at least bring back Di Santo and maybe Mancienne in January if injuries happen. Missing Drogba and Essien for any games due to ACON would hurt but they have decent depth in those areas.

Barring something crazy I just don't see anything else happening.

sfpfc

2009-11-08 03:24:06 PM

Agreed i don't think Acon is as big a deal given the fixtures they will miss. It's more around if they get injured during Acon and the balance of the team. Without Essien Chels have struggled to hold teams. He is immense when fully fit.

The Mancs are trying to find a balance without CR7.

Liverpud just don't have a squad of much depth.

Arsenal are salivating and this could be their year again

I think both United and Arsenal will be challenging Chelsea for the title. I still stand by my prediction that Chelsea will win it and Arsenal will be the dark horse, but there is still plenty of time to play. Chelsea was tops for most of the season 2 years ago and we know what happened then. It would be nice to still only be behind 2 points going into the international break, but I'm not too worried. United was the better team on the field, but Chelsea got the 3 points. I'm hoping the team continues to improve, especially in the back which it did lots today.

Rodrigo Hernandez: /but really. who brushes his teeth at a football game?

The bigger question is that, being a Chelsea fan at their home stadium, you'd assume he was English. How did an English guy smuggle a toothbrush into the country? Is there a dental care black market in England, and did they just expose it's existence?

Fair play to Chelsea, congrats on the win. The way both sides played, probably should have been a draw.

Michael Carrick and John O'Shea should just stop trying to play any sort of offense, at all. They are terrible, and yes, I own a Carrick shirt. Seriously, we get it, you love shooting from 25 yards out.

Awful refereeing on both sides, again. I'm starting to see what Fergie's talking about now.

Linesman need to figure out what an offside is, because Rooney was onside, and would have been in all alone in the first half.

When Terry collided with Cole, the referee should have blown the whistle when Chelsea had possession, not let them run up towards United's goal, and then blow the whistle when Valencia had possession and 50 yards of open space in front of him.

Evans didn't deserve to be sent off, Drogba didn't make an effort to get the ball, he made all the effort to draw a penalty, and a great little acting afterwards with the shaking of the knees as if he was just tazed, but Evans perhaps should have been yellow carded, but definitely not sent off.

It could have easily been a red card. Did you even watch the film? Or is this another one of those "it was ManU so I'm oblivious" things?

Let's just say that Evans hasn't been studying the Rooney book of dirty play and didn't mean to do a flying kick into Drogba. It's a definite yellow and guess who got a yellow later on in the game?

expobill

2009-11-09 11:06:49 AM

drogba received a yellow for going into Evans foot, no really players cannot run into other like that, kinda like an offensive foul.
TonnageVT:
nice to finally meet you!
