Considering the next match is against the mighty QPR, I don't think anyone really gives a ****
I am not sure exactly what Phil Dowd was doing. He was handing out cards like flyers. And how did Chelsea not get a penalty in the first half from the Ivanovic tumble? Some very poor officiating there
Nonetheless, Chelsea really need to start killing games off instead of sitting back and soaking up pressure

Mate we celebrated plenty like that. We love late late goals. Nothing hurts more than conceding something like that.
Or you know, maybe he was celebrating his first goal in over a month.
Meh I really don't care mate. Personally felt draw was a fair result based on the game and I would have taken it beforehand
1 point is better than 0. We would be doing the same thing, but right now we are too ****** to admit it.
mhmm perhaps you are right ... Just mightily ****** that we are dropping points so late into games. So unlike a Mourinho team
I'd have taken a point before as well.

Would that change the result?
God you talk some bollocks at times.

Might not be at home but was "just" Blackburn. Could find plenty more if I could be bothered. People like to celebrate last minute equalisers/winners, don't understand the flood of Chelsea fans criticising for it. You'd do the same, don't lie.
When Matic got going in the second half it was a trademark Mourinho big game performance from Chelsea. Felt in the first half he was a bit slack and we found joy getting the ball in central areas particularly on the left with Januzaj, Mata and Fellaini.
Courtois is outstanding too. For RvP that finish for his first chance was second nature. By the time he took his strike Courtois was there to smother it.

2 yellows is only 1 game so he will miss Shrewsbury on Tuesday but that will be it.
Just had a 7 hour shift to try take in that game and finally watched back the highlights. Is it possible to feel frustrated and content at the same time because i think that sums most of our feelings right now right?
Lets get the negatives out the way shall we, from my personal view this is the worst we have played this season and i don't even think we were that bad and on the flip side it was also the best Utd have played. On the Ivanovic red card who do we blame for it? I'd like to dig a little deeper and pin the blame on a number of people. 1) Azpilicueta, Jose was bringing off players who were booked, he could have bought Azpi (if he didn't get that stupid red card last weekend) on for Brana soon as he got booked. 2) Ivanovic, he lost his head as soon as he was denied the penalty in the 1st half its as simple as that. He is a experienced player for me he should be controlling himself a little better and lets not forget he had been marking Fellaini all day the man who's header led to Van Persie scoring. And of course number 3) is Phil Dowd!!!!! We all know how inept this man is as a "ref" countless times he let things go for Utd which we were penalized for and how he didn't see the two players being held just asks the question "what was he watching then"!!!
There are positives too honest...... I felt we started the game quite slowly actually and didn't really get to grips with the game until just before Drogba scored. Oh and how great was it seeing Drogba score from open play in a big game for us again. I was very impressed with Luis today, Di Maria learned very quickly that he was getting no joy down the right and moved himself over to the left and that says it all. Matic was decent too and Hazard in moments was brilliant again but i must say as i said at the start of this essay it was the worst we have played this season on the whole. Its quite easy to see the best 2 keepers in the Premier League were on show today, both Courtois and De Gea for me outshone every other player on both sides. But even if it was the worst we still came away with a point and was only a poor ref away from taking all 3.
I said before the start of the game that i'd be content if we ended the day 6 points clear of City and i lied because i wasn't when it happened but i think that was because it was still raw. Now thinking about it rationally and calming down a little bit 6 points clear of your only other title challengers with us already played up there, things are so good with us right now!
Lets just take the positives from this game, smash QPR next weekend with a fit Diego Costa and enjoy being top of the league.
UTC!!!

I love Brana. He is a fighter and all that, but his rage costs us. I wouldn't say it's totally Brana's fault because it aint. Hazard should have scored that 1 on 1 but he didn't. De Gea was brilliant though.
Hazard needs to improve his goal scoring. That's the one thing he is lacking for me everything else is great but look at Sanchez for example already 8 goals this season compared to hazards 4 two of which have been penalties.
