Urghhh!!! 

And yet... Jose out at half time! If stays the same and be lovely...

What the fuck? How on earth is that not a pen? Leg-breaking challenge, no foul :D 2 blatant pens, Young involved in both situations. The FA trying really hard.

Just like the good ol' Fergie days.

Bloody brilliant. Thank you Jose. 

Not actually watching. No idea of the merits of the score line, or the rights and wrongs of the penalty appeals. Pleased for Jose if he wins but only really care that City loose.

Congratulations United on winning the League. Or am I missing something here with their players' celebrations?

I guess denying them the title on their home ground is as close to winning the Title for United.

Now they have to win and have United lose against WBA next week to wrap it.

 

Will be respectable to not have them officially wrap it up until the end of the month.

As long as they are not 'clowns in the circus'.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,733]

To be fair that second half was how you would have expected the defending champions to play.

 

They fought to keep that title away from them today.

Don’t know about you, but I went crazy when we drew 2-2 with Spurs a couple of years ago. You set your goals according to what you can achieve and you are naturally very happy when you pull them off. When you manage to do it in such dramatic circumstances only a stone would fail to get excited.

if I’m excited about United’s win today, and I’m over the moon about it, then of course United players and fans have a right to absolutely love it.

Me too. As long as City lose, I'm happy.

They might break the records eventually but if someone can help stop them of breaking all of our records, then I'm happy. On the other hand though, can't stand watching United and Mourinho win!

It was a necessary evil this time.

Yeah that's right. Although we completely denied Spurs from the title back then, Man City will just win it next week or the week after. But I get it. 'Not winning the title against us in the derby' is certainly something to play for.

Agree re our records. That’s precisely why I’m so happy City lost, and why I’m OK with Spurs winning next weekend. On the other hand, I hope City will triumph on Tuesday. City reaching the Champions League semifinal sets up the scenario down the line where they’ve won the league and can go to full rotation ahead of those games. If that happens then the chances of them dropping Premier League points can only increase.

Completely disagree about Jose. Always happy for him to win, as long as it doesn’t conflict with Chelsea’s interests.

Wow a Chelsea fan that actualy still respects Mou and isnt bitter about him?

I dont understand why so many hate him. The man created modern Chelsea along RA and Kenyon. No one should forget that. 

 

On united-city matter, very happy Pep was put in his place again. Hate it when media talks about "best team in world" and " unbeatable" when all they won is League cup (I know they will win PL too, but internationaly wise they have much to show).
