  1. We didn't nab it from West Ham. Its been around for ages. United used to sing it about Keane.
  2. I don't think they generally rescind yellow cards unless it was mistaken identity or something. Cescs yellow for "diving" against Southampton never got rescinded. We're top of the list for cards for diving, but most of them weren't even dives.
  3. I meant 6 including beating Arsenal. But if they win and continue to win they can get 84 points. But then we'd need to get 8 more points and a better goal difference to win.
  4. We only need 6 points if we beat Arsenal.
  5. It makes sense to field a strong defence when United only have a strong attack going for them. We don't want to lose by not being fast enough covering the back when they're on the break. Their depleted defence should mean we don't need to be as strong going forward. Pick your battles. Obviously its nice to see some good attacking football, but the psychological impact of a loss could be ruinous. Better to play it safe.
  6. Shaky all game. Everyone. Courtois made a few vital saves. Still... 3 points! One game closer to bringing the trophy home. No suspension for Matic or Fab, lets hope they can concentrate next time.
  7. 3-1 Chelsea. Terry to score. Shame Ferdinand will miss it.
  8. Palace is a derby. I think that makes a difference. More demand.
  9. Cracking game. We played a real clean game, while Stoke was resorting to absolute thuggery. I suppose that is what happens when the entire game happens in their final third. No wonder they could only score from their own half, we never let them in ours. (That goal though...) We should have had a more convincing win really. Still 3 points! Gutted about Diego but I have every faith in Remy now, he keeps on delivering. Cuadrado just looks so weak, I hope he sorts himself out. And I was the one calling for him to get some more minutes... And Willian really seems to be stepping up his game. Ever since we bought Cuadrado. No one sang his song though. Its a personal favourite Also I don't get why people are bothered about Drogba at the end, he's not exactly going to get enough yellows for it to make any difference.
  10. So Costa is fit and available. My fantasy team might not suffer after all...
  11. So he's as good as said he is leaving in the summer, not like it is a surprise or anything. Where do you reckon he'll end up?
  12. Really need us to play well. I'm taking my cousin to his second game, and his first was when we lost to Bradford. Remy deserves more minutes, but its not like Costa deserves to be benched. I hope his injury isn't too bad, and I believe we'd be fine without him, but he seems to take a while to get back into form whenever he's out for a bit, naturally. Besides Costa's on my fantasy football team, so I'd rather he was playing anyway. I doubt Iva will be dropped, but I'd like to see Azpi at RB, and let Luis have a run of games. I want to see Cuadrado as a starter. I think its unfair to have to prove yourself in the dying minutes of a game, and he's only ever brought on if we need a goal which always means desperate decisions instead of intelligent ones. I just want to see what he does with 90 minutes. Courtois Dave - Zouma - Terry - Luis Matic - Cesc Cuadrado - Willian - Hazard Costa
  13. Courtois saved our bacon! Needed that win. 6 points cleaaaar
  14. I know we should be winning at the bridge, and we can certainly play better than that, but a draws a draw. We should have sunk that goal at the end, and could have had a penalty, so some of it was down to luck in that respect, but then Cesc had a nightmare for the majority, but I wasn't majorly disappointed in anyone otherwise (Oscar doesn't count. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't even turn up). I just think as much as we could have done better we've also played a lot worse recently, and I was encouraged by a lot of the second half.
  15. Really need a win. I can't be bothered with all the saints fans I know giving it the big'un.
  16. He'd never get the leniency of decisions hes enjoying at the moment, at Chelsea.
  17. I didn't mean about our performance. Our performance was undeniably awful. But he understood as a player that you will try and influence the ref, and its been a part of the game. I think its important to have a fair perspective like that, instead of a knee-jerk 'Chelsea are disgusting/pathetic/disgraceful', like Carragher who is a hypocrite. And after playing at PSG and failing to get any calls its not surprising when some players are going to make a song and dance when they're tackled. Regardless I think personally its the language that is being used that stings a little, and I'm happy to have Neville on our side.
  18. Throwing around words like 'pathetic', 'disgusting', 'disgraceful', 'ugly'. Definitely some harsh words that don't apply to hassling the ref a bit. Maybe if a few more calls went our way we wouldnt feel like that was an appropriate reaction, but the way things are we have to fight for every decision. Neville though, defended us like a level-headed knight in shining armour.
  19. Only pundit that's always fair and impartial. Smart guy. Only one who defended us against the witch hunt yesterday.
  20. The way the press are reporting us surrounding the ref is doing my head in. Its a moot point as he already had out the red card anyway, and I believe they legitimately thought they all saw a red card incident. I don't think its that out of the ordinary a reaction. I've seen plenty of teams do it, but we're being called out as being 'disgraceful' and 'showing the ugly side'. Its ridiculous. That doesn't take from the fact that we deserved to lose though. And Hazard was definitely not the MOTM. Had some awful passes.
  21. Bottled it. So disappointing. Just gunna have to settle for the double.
  22. I think it looks awful but the second kit is even worse. Third kit isn't so bad.
  23. But without Matic its even more important to focus on protecting that back line. At the end of the day though I just hope that a full week between games is enough to work out a decent strategy.
