to say our fixture list is now fucked is an understatement.

should we get through to the next round of the Europa League we don't have a free midweek until between Saturday 13th (Man City at Wembley or Spurs at home) and Sunday 20th. This would mean we would need to move a league game. Add to the fact we still have to reschedule Fulham away then we would probably end up with an extra midweek game or two in May as well

Think it's fair to say that the second half performance is what we all wanted to see. Fight, desire, determination and passion in wanting to win the game. Didn't have any hope whatsoever before the game and the first half performance showed why. It was just awful especially defensively where we gave away yet more cheap goals against United! Could have easily been 3-0 or 4-0 down at HT but luckily Cech made some crucial saves after his somewhat blunders for the two goals. The performance was much better in the second half and it owed to introduction of Mikel and Hazard. Benitez selected the wrong starting XI but credit where its due in regards to making the changes very early in the 2nd half. From there, we were just dominated. Mikel and Ramires owned the midfield. Defence was good. And in attack, we were causing major problems. We really should have won the game given the chances we had but would have taken the replay anyway after being 2-0 down at HT. Plenty of positives to take from the 2nd half. We just need the players to show the spirit, desire and performance on a more consistent basis!

And to top it off, Spurs lost! It was a completely turnaround of the miserable feeling I had earlier on watching those 2 games.

Alex Ferguson is the coach version of Rio Ferdinand, if he was allowed to be on the pitch he'd probably do the same unsporting and immature behaviours, if not even worse. It is these two cunts that make me truly hate this team, not to mention the vast majority of their arrogant fans. I hope we smash them in the second leg.

I still cant believe we didnt win, so fucking close!

did you see the elbow that rio threw & torrid? Coming from him, I can understand. W/ his lack of talent that is the only to neutralize torrid then to make matters worse, here in the States we had Ian Wright as a color commentator. All match long wright was going on how it's a travesty that rio is not on the English National side. Then to top that off, wright took jabs @ CFC & especially Ashley Cole. He made sure he pointed out every bad play Cole made. I really hate the dirty red media

The sad thing about these encounters is that all Utd need is a bit of luck or a slick move/good ball and they lead, whereas we put in a hell lot of effort, though never or only close beat them, even though we have been all over them and should have comfortably finished the job. We must be more clever and clinical. We are so much more talented and committed in these encounters but they always snatch a result they do not deserved cos they do make the most out of their chances. Also their keeper may it be Howard, van der Saar or now de Gea always is at his very best in matches against us whereas either Cech or one of our defenders or both always have a blackout against them. I mean Luiz and Cahill might not be the creme de la crema of centreback pairings but they are still leagues above Ferdicunt+Johny "referee-approved kungfu-killer" evans.

[Ollie 4,400]

Voted for Luiz, he was so good all game. Wanted to chose Hazard but i chose Luiz as he played the whole game.

The real Chelsea finally showed up today. We've came back from 2-0 down twice against Man Utd this season and beat them in the League Cup from 3-2 down and 2-1 down.

Play like we did today and we'll be safely in the top 3 and will win the Europa League. FA Cup is still tough.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

STAT: Juan Mata: 17 goals, 22 assists. Eden Hazard: 11 goals, 19 assists. Oscar: 9 goals, 9 assists

[robdog 2,084]

When were Chelsea Founded? 10 march or 14 march?

Good catch there buddy. 108 years ago today:

Chelsea Football Club were founded on 10 March 1905 at The Rising Sun pub, (now The Butcher's Hook) opposite today's main entrance to the ground on the Fulham Road

[Laylabelle 9,398]

Its like Gomez for Spurs he seemed to do complete mental things until they played us then became this class keeper.Worried we had such a good chance to win and didnt but then again so did they

Beat them then tough game against City..beat them then still tough game to come no doubt...shall see..be nice though,...

[Ollie 4,400]

Hazard - Oscar - Mata - Moses - De Bruyne.

If these guys stay and are here for 10 years, we're gonna see 10 wonderful years of Chelsea FC. If Roman doesn't decide to rock the boat, the world really is there for us to claim. Nobody can boast a similar selection or CAMs like that.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

This was a massive performance from our lads not because i think the FA-cup is so important THIS season but because of the Desire and pride we showed in the second half, This is the Chelsea we all know and Love!
But if we only look on the result i am more happy with liverfools win over Spuds!

[Hutcho 8,443]

OH SHIT... Just remembered spurs lost as well... One of our best days for a while... As many have said our schedule will now be even more hectic, but that should be a huge confidence boost to the team and hopefully will be a turnaround, and lead us to ensuring top 4. Hopefully, bayern smash arsenal in midweek to put them in a downward spiral whilst we go in an upwards direction.

[Laylabelle 9,398]

We've been in 8 comps this season to win sod all be mega shite!

Rio Ferdinand ‏@rioferdy5

A game of 2 halves...disappointed we never finished the game off in the 1st half...then we were lucky to stay in the hat after the 2nd half.

Rio Ferdinand ‏@rioferdy5

What a save from De Gea by the way...

Not you mate...

[Ollie 4,400]

We certainly didn't look tired today in the 2nd half. If that went on for 10 more minutes, we woulda won the game. If we play with the adrenaline, enthusiasm and tempo with that real desire to win, tiredness isn't noticed. When we were in the zone, we were in the fucking zone today. Tbh Man Utd were pretty fucking awful after they went 2-0 up.

our squad are young rich boys, they ain't tired.

At least Rio's honest.
