These errors against United were made BEFORE the errors against Chelsea, so who should be mad right now ? Imagine what would have happened if United were 3-1 ahead with Chelsea down to 10 men.
The referee and the linesman were just very, very bad, this isn't anybody's fault.
 
Now for my 2 pence. There is no doubt the officials performance was poor, maybe Torres should have gone for his first challenge but two wrongs don't make a right. The Brana red was fair but anyone who says the Torres second yellow was fair is a plain moron. I look at the positives and they are we fought back from 2 goals down and ended up losing too an offside goal while down to 9 men. My main gripe is the way we started the game, we just cannot do that against a side like Utd. On this Clattenburg thing it's a shame if he did say anything because it will never be proven. He and his 4 officials have mics but none of it is recorded, maybe it should be from now on.

Now to Utd fans saying we had luck in recent games fail to mention the penalty you got last season which was one of welbecks dives and in the same drogba offside game you love to bring up the Macheda handball goal. None of these should be relivent, the officials were poor yesterday and mainly towards Chelsea. On the chants it came from both sides, Utd are the only side I know of who sing the Matthew Harding song and have been told by many were there that it was sung often.

I said before the Spurs game that 4 points from these two games and ill believe we are genuine, we didn't get that but from the positives yesterday I right that off. We are genuine! Roll on Wednesday

Whereas when with Rafapool he was more likely to be involved in the build up.

He does get involved in the build up. He just completely fails at it. His first touch is often horrid and passing inaccurate enough to slow down the action - at least compared to mids who are all nearly flawless.

Would explain Shevchenko's flop, and similar possible failure of a Llorente/Soldado.

But Llorente IS a big power striker.

With as much talent as Chelsea midfield has, i guess there are two schools: either have a concrete wall to bounce balls off, which is where Llorente comes in, or have a quick thinking striker who can keep up with them, which where Soldado might work well.

Or they can get Lewandowski who brings both physical presence and ability to participate in fast creative play. Dortmund's mid trio of Reus, Gotze, Kuba is very similar to what Chelsea has, and it works amazing. They tore City's defense apart in CL. But Lewandowski's finishing is even worse than Fernando's, so that's that. :P
 
Also I forgot to add the biggest positive, we are still top of the league and played Newcastle, arsenal, spurs and Utd!

He also booked valencia, when he should have given mikel a second yellow, and missed a luiz handball on 51 minutes. Given the pressure we were under then, that would also have been game changing had we converted. either way it was *****.

Both fans were pretty appalling it must be said.

No it isn't.

I have never and will never be in a situation in my life where I feel the need to racially abuse someone. It's not a judgement problem, it's an attitude problem. Racial abuse shouldn't even be an option. It certainly isn't for me. I don't even think about racially abusing someone in an argument because, to me, it's not even something I can fathom. The fact that some people involved in the game not only think it is a tool to use to defend their position, but ACCEPTABLE, really angers me.

To be fair I don't think anyone in the game has said that racial abuse in the heat of the moment is Ok, have they?

I have to admit that most Chelsea fans have been guilty of exaggerating Torres' achievements. Plus we have always come up with a wide range of excuses for his failures- Oh he is not getting enough service. Our style of play does not suit him. Drogba eats up his competition blah blah blah

I have always maintained that this season was Torres' last chance to prove himself. I doubt he is going to succeed. Despite having a great set of midfielders behind him and playing in a system that should suit him he has still turned out to be a utter failure in many games.

Hopefully Sturridge shows he is the real deal or we may just be in the market for a striker in January
 
Oh yeah and in hindsight, SAF once again made a great decision bringing in RVP. I would happily pay 24 million pounds if you can get a striker who will bang them in for the next 3-4 seasons at least

Bargain. And back then i claimed its way overpriced and overall a flop. Guess i'll stick to Football Manager. :D
 
Just wondering any Chelsea fans on twitter still just seeing hundreds of Chelsea fans moaning about the ref and linesmen down their timeline? Starting to wind me up now a lot of fans just need to get over it acting like bad decisions go against us every game and it's not like we have never had any wrong decisions go our way.

Err... One incident should not be diminishing what Terry has done for the club. Either way the club came hard on Terry after he was proved guilty. Calling a referee a Legend because he has been accused of saying something racial in natural to a Chelsea player is cuntish in nature.

Its a direct reference to the unwavering support of Terry, and the manner of it, especially the way Anton was chanted at and booed even when in the wrong and accused of saying something racial in nature to a player. That is the whole point, its a tongue in cheek dig at your banners.

For a year, all you heard was captain, leader, legend. Even on this forums. Now its a Chelsea player who may have been abused. Shoe's on the other foot now.

I find it kind of funny how RDM fielded a very strong line-up just to try and win this game yet Fergie obviously was not taking it too seriously, just look at the United bench no game-changers on there like Van Persie or Rooney etc.
 
We deserved to win this game as much as United deserved to win on Sunday. End of
 
That said top of the table and with United, Spurs and Tottenham all out... Not a bad day at all
