Closed Man United 1-1 Chelsea

[The Chels 2,502]

what does Mikel offer? Really? What the fuck does he do every time he is brought on to help defend a lead? I know it isn't solely down to him but he offers absolutely nothing. Robbing a living at this club

Every time I watch Mikel play I bemoan us not signing Tiago so much. He can actually dictate the tempo unlike Mikel.

That being said, Ivanovic should have won a penalty or else he would have tapped the ball in. The first booking he received was not even close to being a yellow card. Then the second yellow..... Is never never yellow! He lost his footing... Di Maria was gonna cross it in he wasn't in on goal. A dead ball opportunity to cross it in is more of an advantage anyways...And then Dowd waits for about 30 seconds and as soon as he's pressured by the fans, he caves and sends off Ivanovic. He did the same to Hazard when he booked him. It was a yellow card but he waited, walked away... fans yelled at him and then he eventually books him.

Piss poor performance from the referee. Referee's are deciding where the points go more and more lately and its fucked up!

Okay. This foul merits a red card. I agree.

Says it all about the present day Man United that they were celebrating like they won with a draw.

[coolhead23 1,146]

We still gained a point whereas City lost.

It's not good ... We didnt gain a point, we lost 2 ..

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I expect we destroy those Manchester cunts (both city and united) when they come to London.

Fucking defensive tactics...

Ofcourse, have you seen their team currently ? This was a big game for them and they outplayed a much better side. So no wonder they are happy.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

He is 'happy' with the performance and the team. HAHA Jose well it was disappointing but not the end of the world I guess.

Not even Dowd thought so to be fair. He gave a yellow.

[Laylabelle 9,303]

Urgj man u fans getting annoying now lol

[Wizacar 93]

JOSE MOURINHO. So negative. why not get a 2 goal lead then park the bus. I have no problem with mikel coming on at 2-0 but at 1-0 it makes no sense

[zolayes 14,489]

expect media and Manure fans to big this up .. It is hard to accept the NEGATIVISM of fans on here .

IT was a POINT won not two lost .. and that is ignoring the influence of Dowd

[BlueLion. 21,491]

There are some fickle cunts on here.

If we weren't robbed by that shit-eating oxygen thief of a referee you'd all be singing Mourinho's praises for a tactical masterclass.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

I'll never understand Jose's insistence with having his team sit back when only a goal up. It's a tactic that's based on 'hope' - hoping that the opposition can't work out an opening, hoping that the defenders don't make a mistake, hoping that the ref doesn't make a wrong call. You're not controlling the game that way. 4 points now lost from wining positions against City and Utd. Shame.

All that and we're six points clear of the team who most likely will threaten us for the title.

You people need to get a grip, points at trafford and Etihad is good. Why on earth would we open up at tough grounds and allow teams to come at us with numbers?

The idea was to invite them to come forward and break with pace. It almost worked

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Why is there no option to vote Dowd MOTM by the way?

[robdog 2,084]

This will feel like a much better point once I've calmed down. Can't help but feel robbed at this moment in time though. Ugh. KTBFFH

agreed but the funny thing is now manure feels they are in the title race w/ this point

[Pizy 17,860]

Wow. Really starting to question whether many in here know football.

Parked the bus? José getting it wrong? We totally dominated them and controlled the game for a huge portion of that second half. We're playing in one of then most difficult places to play AND combating awful refereeing and we were seconds away from taking the 3 points.

Should've had a pen and Didier should've scored that chance on the edge of the box on the Oscar pullback. We protected our goal brilliantly and calmly soaked up their late pressure. Perfectly played until the free kick.

As José just said in his post match, it was a great away performance. We had a 36 year old striker leading the line who has barely trained and our 2 best players in Hazard and Fábregas were quiet.

[GhanaBoy 104]

I can't believe Cahill is getting away with this. He was marking fellaini, and lost his man. Once again against Manu, mancity, crystal palace, he isn't being critised ? Ok!
