Referee won the match for Chelsea. David Luiz should have had a 2nd yellow when he body checked Chicarito then left a knee in against Rooney. Man Utd should have had a penalty in the first half with Terry's handball. Smalling penalty was soft and if Vidic got 2 yellows, why was David Luiz still on the pitch?
How can that bastard ferguson come out and say the ref changed the game, and DIDNT see Luiz foul on Rooney, and the penalty bein soft. Who do u want to ref it, Webb or Clattenberg??? What goes around comes around u whiskey nosed cunt, go fuck yourself !!!!!!
No vidic in the next, cherry on top for Liverpool!
Well to be fair Rooney shouldn't have been playing this game anyways......you could call it karma or whatever. Depending on how Arsenal do against Sunderland the end of the season could be really tight. Now Manchester without Vidic and Ferdinand against Liverpool could be too much for Manchester.
Very disappointed about tonights result but in typical Manchester United fashion, we'll come back fighting and hopefully go on to win the League for the 19th time.
It was a bad decision... but it happened. I'm sure I didn't hear United fans complain about Vidic not getting sent off in last year's Carling Cup Final...
Bad decisions are part of the game... they shouldn't be, but they are.
United's evening then ended on a desperate note as Vidic pulled Ramires back on the edge of the area and was sent off - meaning his removal from the defence for the testing trip to Anfield.
"bit of trouble": Who is still leading the table? Losing away at Standford bridge is not the end of the world. Chelsea are a good team! And we never lose two matches in a row, so Liverpool fans: here we come to take 3 points at Anfield.
okay, yeah, Luiz was lucky to still be on the pitch, but Cech only had one save to make. The only other shot on target Man Utd had was the goal. Check the alternate link if you don't believe me.
That's what happens when you've played half a season games in two and a half months. Now I know why Fergie decided to withdraw from the Carling Cup some years ago.
nobody deserved to win the game, both teams were as good as each other but david luiz got away with one big time and no vidic against liverpool which just adds salt to the wound.
well done chelsea!!! In the first half it was a bit 50/50, but in the second half chelsea were on full attack, man u kept trying to counter. And Ivanovic marked Nani so well that everytime Nani got the ball it was immediatly gone!! And i thought torres also play outstanding, he is getting back to his best form!! Great job Luiz, and chelsea
Never say, never. Besides, you don't even need to lose. You can simply draw with Liverpool so that you'll just be in the lead by goal difference.
After that, Arsenal has the easier run in than United. And if Arsenal get knocked out of the CL then they'll have fewer games and can focus on finishing strong in the PL.
Chelsea did what they had to, now Arsenal needs to forget about the Carling cup and close the gap.
Nice match, it was like a NBA match. It was going to and fro! Good result for Arsenal.
Wow this got posted fast! Anyways, Arsenal you guys owe us one! I hope we can use this as a springboard to a decent run of form now.
Fergie must be super pissed right about now
Chelsea was closer to 3-1 than United was an equalizer!
