Closed Chelsea 2-3 Manchester United

[Strike 7,489]

Perhaps so but was it really a red card? Luiz looked like he was in pretty close proximity to cover for Ivanovic!

ref had a shocker. i hope the racism allegations are true and Clattenburg is relegated to Blue Square Premier League. still seething

[Jase 43,479]

Looking back at the game, I really have mixed emotions about it. Proud of the players to show great character and belief to come from 2-0 down and as many have pointed out, had it stayed at 11 v 11 or maybe 10 v 11, I'm pretty we would have at least got a point out of this game. However on the other hand, am really pissed off because we were obviously cheated out by Clattenburg and also the fact that we started slowly again as well as some really poor defending that cost us 2 very cheap goals. The game would have been so different had we defended better for those goals and we need to stop giving ourselves mountain to climb against top oppositions by conceding sloppy goals like that.

By the way, Souness said yesterday on Sky that we showed that we are the real deal this season and United were extremely fortunate with the decisions that went their way. He even swore live on TV!

If he is found guilty of racism and profanity towards player, surely we get a replay? Because it proves there was bias in his refereeing

[blue_swaggin_96 96]

if fergie were able to buy the refs and the FA, surely roman could just outbid him?

go and fuck off! we will always be ther@ when red nose goes, ther goes you! enjoy while it last, i still believe you won't finish anywhere above us! have fun

Not really. ManU have black and Spanish players as well. There is zero chance of this game being replayed short of finding a betting slip in the ref's pocket.

Just to point out, we have had at least 4-5 good penalties shout turned down in the league this season already and then yesterday, the red cards and offside goal...

Clattenburg is alleged to have verbally abused Blues midfielder Jon Obi Mikel and called another star a Spanish t***.

I think it's just the way fans see their clubs. Even today when we got screwed by the ref, we also got breaks. Torres should have seen straight red at 45 minutes for his foul. The ball hit Luiz's hand in the box right before we scored our second, but his hand was away from his body and I've seen that given as a penalty more often than not (and Luiz immediately looked at the ref. I think he expected the penalty). I'm not saying we didn't get screwed. We did. The other decisions were in the normal spectrum. The Torres sending off was not. Torres got fouled and maybe made a little bit more of it than there actually was, but that happens about 15 times a game. There's a massive difference between diving, of faking being fouled, and making the most of actually being fouled. There are a few times a year where a game will hinge on a horrible call and this was one of them,, but for the most part, controversial calls even out. Torres' goal against Reading was off-side. We should have lost to Wigan last year but got 2 offside goals and got 3 points. Mata scored a goal against Spurs that shouldn't have counted that completely changed the nature of the game, and so on...

What a performance. So proud to be a Chelsea fan, I even wore my shirt to bed, something I rarely do. I did it that night in Munich and the comeback in Spain against Barcelona, and our 4-1 win on the Bridge against Napoli. I do it when I feel specially connected to my beloved club, and yesterday was one of those days. Oh boy, did United get the victory handed to them?

First 30 minutes, way too slow from our part. We conceded two goals, which we shouldn't have, and Luiz and Cole did not look good. But what we did after that surprised me. Considering our team has yet to play 10 games in the BPL together, they came back and dominated the opposition right up until Ivanovic's red card. Passion, mental strength and courage from such a young team gives me hope that THIS TEAM has the potential to be the next big thing. Oscar had a brilliant game, so did Hazard and Mata. When Mata got that freekick, I just knew he'd put it in. And so he did.

Of course I felt we got robbed, but we have got to move on. Manchester United are known for getting strange officiating their way, but we must simply outplay them on the pitch. If it so happens to turn out that Clattenburg indeed did use racial slur against Mata and Mikel, then FA should really consider their next move wisely.

Good game, ruined by the referee. But guys, we can say all the words in the world, and they won't change a thing, sadly. I know the frustration, and this is not the first occasion something like this has happened. But let's move on, and smash them in the Capital One Cup. Looking forward to seeing Azpilicueta and Sturridge.

Cheers mates.

Fergie will field a weak side on Wednesday knowing that we will knock them out.

I'm expecting nothing less then a 3-0 win. C'mon boys! Fucking proud to be a blue today.

[Strike 7,489]

we better win on wednesday

[Rambo 1,729]

We'll bury them at Old Trafford when we get a functional striker up front. The loss of 3 points does hurt even though we're still top of the table.

[TrippingStep 336]

Guys, am i the only one who thought Luiz was awful today? i am sorry to say, but he's such a liability at the back.

I don't know, on the first goal, Cahill position seems wrong to me. I think he could have played the offside trap on Van Persie, he was way behind everyone on that goal if I remember.

[Badboy 1,526]

So he called Mata a Spanish Twat and Mikel a monkey. I really I hope its true !

[Milan 17,957]

We would have won it (or got a draw for sure) if he hadn't sent off Torres, I am pretty sure about that. And that's promising for the future - even when 2-0 down after a couple of minutes, we can still overturn the deficit, even against Man United. That's something I haven't seen in this club for a long time.

[Beigl 1,387]

If this was Mark Clattenburg yesterday,imagine Howard Webb next week against Arsenal.

[Milan 17,957]

And dumb Man United fans claim everything was okay and every decision was correct and defend their winning goal by saying the ref has little time to decide, plus we scored an offside goal at Old Trafford a few seasons ago. That's just so stupid. I want to play them in the FA Cup and in the Champions League and destroy them because that's what we would do yesterday if there wasn't the biased ref.
