Mr_TA:

Here, Have some tissues to wipe away the Carling cup tears ookay? pele, ma binu.

debosky:

^^ Funnily enough he then went down holding his leg for the next 5 mins as if the ball hit him.

Utd did get a bit of a raw deal with the ref, but ultimately Chelski outplayed them on the night.

I personally would blame Fabio for getting Vidic sent off. . . .where was he in each of the occasions Vidic had to wrestle with Ramires and then DD? If he was back there defending, he'd have provided some support.

I think Fergie complained a bit too much about the ref though. . . .Utd didn't really create much and had only two shots on goal. That's not good enough, especially since the goal came from Cech failing to cover his near post.

*Cougar*:

kindly provide us the match stats in the carling cup final between arsenal n birmingham. does that mean birmingham didn't deserve their victory against your pathetic team?

john terry stopped a goal-bound shot with his hands, no penalty.

david luiz should have walked in the first half and chelsea would have been reduced to ten men. . . .

.zhirkov dived to win a penalty(the match-winner) and you are here saying chelsea outplayed united on the night. like fergie said. . . . .if chelsea continue to get decisions like that, they will win the league in may.

debosky:

Trust a scumtwat to try diversionary tactics to cover for their deficiencies. You’ve learnt well from old red nose.

This is rich, Vidic stopped Ivanovic’s shot after VDS’ save by using his elbow - that should’ve been a penalty.
Vidic should’ve been off for handling on the line in the first half; his foul on Ramires just before the second on DD was equally deserving of a second yellow.

Zhirkov also hit the bar because Vidic deflected the ball. If Vidic had been sent off for his handball, he wouldn’t even be on the pitch then either and that would've been a clean goal.

Finally, it was 11 vs 11 for most of the match and Chelski created far more chances than Utd did and hit the bar as well - that shows they deserved to win the game, regardless of some debatable decisions by the officials.

Hernandez showed he is still learning - he was virtually useless in this game.

debosky:

Make una leave the scumtwats alone to lick their wounds. . . .only if they mess up on Sunday (and Arsenal win on Saturday) should there be a taunting session here.

Ifedisky:

If yu remove your red blinkers yu'll see. Manure had the chance to go seven points clear at Chelski. After an exhilarating half of football in which thay took the lead what happened? Against Chavski? Almost the worst club in London! my mind tells me the first half defines the word over-reaching. You guys were punching above your own weight and you've been found out. Duduspace called time on the Chavs and some comic fellas in here were mutilating his name.Chavs imploded He has, again called out this plodding megalith (Manure) Ask the Chavs about Duduspace. Not that it matters, by the turn of the year you plonkers shall know him willy nilly

Young man, you spewing have no basis. Man U the last time i checked is still topping the league.
I don't need as much as 7 points on day 38 to win the EPL. Until another team other than United begins to top the EPL, our destiny is very much in my arms.

Chelsea being worst is only being described by being fourth on the time and having a game in hand.
Write them off at your peril. Again, loses to Chelsea has never put paid to any of our title ambitions.
The league we lost last season wasn't cos of losing to the Chavs. So what the heck are you yapping about?
Endeavor to make sense when u post.

@Emperoh
Your team had to chance to extend the gap. . they fumbled
We've moved on. .do so too. Why not wait to see what happens AFTER Leyton Orient?

*Cougar*:

it is not a diversionary tactic. . . .just proving your theory lacks substance. a team does not need to match your number of shots on target to outplay you. a shot taken from 50 yards that van der sar stopped with his foot is a shot on target.

*Cougar*:

the point is chelsea created far more chances because the referee allowed it. he was handing them freekicks in dangerous areas and whenever luiz tackled rooney, he ignored it. count the number of freekicks chelsea had in the game versus the number of freekicks united shoulda had. it was a 50-50 game and chelsea won simply because the referee was incompetent.

useless? had rooney possessed the football brain and the vision of berbatov, hernandez woulda scored at least twice last night. hernandez is learning and he has outscored your m0ron chamakh?   keep proving to me you are a tool! it's delightful.

debosky:

Even disregarding the shots on goal - they caused numerous goal mouth scrambles for Utd and hit the bar, just like Birmingham did against Arsenal. Whether you look at the number of chances or the quality of chances, Chelski were better than Utd on both counts. Imagine talking down shots from range when your only goal came via a shot from outside the box coupled with Cech's error.

A 50-50 game and Chelski created more than double the chances Utd did? Tell that to the marines.

Any player at his age his first EPL season is still learning - scoring more than Chamakh is not really the issue here. . .try and focus on the subject matter for once.

*Cougar*:

goal-mouth scrambles crafted out by the referee. giving nonsense freekicks to chelsea whenever they were tackled cleanly and ignoring the same type of tackles when united tackled chelsea players. upon all the chances chelsea created, they won it with a dodgy penalty call.

i disagree with chelsea better than united on both counts. only a tool like yourself would say chelsea were better than united in the first half.

bayern munich created more than 10 times the number of chances inter created in the last european final. the scoreline was 2-0 in favour of inter. so should we assume inter didn't deserve the victory like you keep saying?

hernandez has punched above his weight in this league. he is a type of player that thrives on intelligent passes(none of which rooney supplied all night) because his strength is playing on the shoulder of the last defender. berbatov is a better partner of hernandez than rooney.

debosky:

Apart from the Ivanovic scramble caused by a freekick, how many others were caused by the referee’s input? You’re clutching at straws here.

Are you hallucinating again? Where did I make a comparison between performances in each half? What I said is that Chelski created better quality chances and a higher quantity of chances in the game.

So you’ve resorted to telling porkies?

Inter had 7 shots on target vs Bayern’s 3 so what the heck are you talking about? Even in terms of shots off target, they were nearly even at 11 for Bayern to 10 for Inter.

Again, it’s not just a matter of numbers, the quality of chances for Chelski were better as well.

No truer statement has emerged from the lips of Sharon.

*Cougar*:

nearly all the chances created by chelsea were as a result of referee's input. cases where a united player was fouled with referee ignoring it and chelsea breaking on a counter. there's a reason atkinson was the man of the match despite the fact that yesterday's game was the match of the season so far. why is that?

chances created not shots on/off target. not all chances result in shots on/off target. a blocked shot is a chance but it wont register as a chance off/on target. baba debosky, has your iq hit a diminishing return?

of course, hernandez has punched above his weight. this was a no-name player when united signed him. he is not even bulky physically to convince anyone he can cut it here and yet. . . . . .he has silenced his critics. he has scored 13 times this season already and he needs 4 more goals in the league to score more league goals than van persie has ever done in his career.

debosky:

So Atkinson is responsible for just 2 shots on goal by Utd?  

Sharon you need help. . . .kindly explain how you counted these 10 times more chances that didn't result in shots on/off goal. Any more mendacity and even Lucifer will be scared of you.

I'm happy for the lad. . . .I hope he goes on to great things but as for outscoring RVP, don't hold your breath.

Emperoh:

Most times the argument between you too gets boring!!

Keep beating about the bush and testing will on who gives up first!!
Logic, logic and more logic yet no compromise or agreement in sight!!
Waiting to see how this one ends!!!

4llerbuntu:

sharon, sauron, suara, cougar, bloke no dey just relent. smh

*Cougar*:

he was. we got no freekick around chelsea's penalty box last night and rooney was fouled more than 6 times by luiz in that area of the pitch. shots resulting from direct free-kicks add to shots off/on targets, don't they? the officiating was abysmal and every football fan admitted that yesterday. fans are just happy united lost because they want a close-fought title race.

if i pull these stats out now, you will say i am deploying diversionary tactics. bayern created more chances than inter in the final and they still lost. there are other examples i can cite too. inter/barca is another one when inter won in san siro.

lest i forget, how many times do i need to tell you i am not sharon? is this amnesia or dylexia? why are you gooners so daft? if you have any decorum at all(which i suspect you lack) then you shouldn't be mentioning the name of any member who is not in a position to reply you. it's an act of cowardice.

robin wont be back until april. by the time he gets back to full fitness, premier league go don finish. . . . .but i'm backing him to score 18 goals in the emirates cup in august.

debosky:

A few decisions were poor no doubt, but not significantly changing the course of events in my opinion. Even if you strip out the ref-induced chances, Chelski were still far more creative.

If you can provide evidence that Bayern created more 'chances' than Inter, I'll wear Crizzle's lacy briefs on my head to the Emirates in the middle of winter.

In that case you must be suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. It is my duty to continue to call on the defeated Sharon personality till he manifests again. Sharon I know you're in there somewhere, grow some balls and come out!

Robin is en-route to the Serbian witch's lair as we speak. He will be back in 10 days.

dayokanu:

Does anyone need to tell you that M0r0n Chamakh is born to fail?

Hernandez in his first season has outscored him in fewer games. Chamakh is just another Francis Jeffers in the making

A-40:

Faggotson is still moaning about being robbed and dodgy refereeing decisions. Hahahaha thats like the devil complaining that hell-fire is too hot. He was awfully quiet when Rooney nearly made a Wigan player comatose and shoulda been banned for 3 games! Karma is a biatch

RuuDie:

Painful loss. . . . .Rooney got the goal but i personally feel he was clearly below par; very wasteful with the few glimpses at goal we had. I hope Gary didn't slap the taste outta his mouth after he threw away that glorious opportunity away - he was going berserk in the stands

Ando shoulda been in the middle and Rafael at RB, Giggs and Nani on both flanks. . . .the Gaffer clearly got it wrong!

But bottomline, we're still four points clear of the front runner in the chasing pack for now. We still have the edge, just have to keep & stay focused on the ultimate prize!

*Cougar*:

you have a knack of putting your fat nose in other people's business. debosky and i dont have to compromise or agree. he has his own opinion, i respect it and vice versa.

Sharap dia!! Who says it not my business?
When you clog web-space with rigamaroling arguments that lead to nowhere!!
Go to the Gay thread and practice turn turn turner not here. . . .get that?

Debo

Will you take him yo your thread and maintain the position of the 'nyash' there!!!

debosky:

@ DK

Chamakh has scored more goals than Rooney - if Chamakh is born to fail, Rooney's generation is predestined for failure.
