Will i eat my words tonight? Is Ronaldo going to become consistent? Lets see...

Finally a goal in a big game

Gosh. He showed up.

I can't believe they let him score so easily. no man marking at all.

Nice little one two to free up brown.

Surprised no marking on CR.

That'll give him some confidence now. Could have a big game.

We might see SHEVA!

Carvalho is really over-rated, Ronaldo made it look easy.

I can see why Ronaldo switched flanks, a) to exploit Essiens weakness as a RB and B ) Cole's record against him

I really want Chelsea to score two in the dying minutes

No. Wait. Chelsea is no big team.

F legend that kid will be. He's 99% of what Man Utd is. Simply the best out there by a country mile.

Cech!!!!!!!

Grant really needs to do something

They're owning Chelsea

Yep, they're getting owned out there. United are easily the better team, Ronaldo is making Essien look like a 5 year old!

Maybe Ferreira would be more effective against Ronaldo

This referee really doesn't like Ashley, every decision involving Cole he's got wrong - and given it against Cole!

FK edge of area...

Ballack fires over

GGGGGOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLL

FRANKIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worst time to concede a goal is right before the HT.

freaking luck lampard has.
always

Feck yes. 1-1.

Fat Frankie. Let's go Chelsea.

Luck favors the brave

It's called great anticipation. He is always in the right place at the right time.

LAMPARD RETE RETE

I found out this little tidbit sometime ago...





Hope it holds true. I would love for Sheva to score the winner.

But to be honest Ronaldo surprised me. he had a great 1st half. even though he didn't have the greatest of RBs to deal with!

Out of curiosity, was Lampard's shot deflected off of anyone or anything?

yeah, it was a spin wasn't it?

I don't remember though who it deflected off.

anyway, am I the only red devil here?

Just a tiny deflection. really tiny.


NOTHING.

well it deflected off Rio's back

I'm sure VDS wouldn't have had a problem with Makelele's shot

Essien I think

Essien's shot took a double deflection off VDS and Ferdinand I believe... then Lampard tucked it in.

ya oops! I'm not good with names

anyway, it was a deflection, a normal deflection (not a tiny one)!

Better first half than I expected. I thought they'd cancel each other out and it'd be fairly un-a,bitious - which it was for the first 25 minutes. A few minutes before the United goal it opened up a bit and the last 20 minutes was decent. Hopefully the 2nd half is a bit better.

P.S. If Giggs plays a part in tonights game, which I'm certain he will, he breaks the all-time appearance record for United, which he currently shares with Bobby Charlton on 758 appearances. Congrats Giggsy.

WTF is wrong with SAF?

^^

What...what did he do?

Please Chelsea, score another crappy goal...

Arguing with the ref in an unpleasant way!

Ah hah....so now that the ref is no longer on his side..

Heh....I still think Manchester will nick it though. I want Chelsea...but I think Manchester will win. A heart vs head situation.

Ferguson always does that. You have to understand that the referees are always against him and every decision must go Man Utds way, if they dont then the referees arent doing their job or Man Utd are being penalised...

yeah!

van Der Sar slipping over again!

Essien nearly...

VDS slipping all over the place

Chelsea are doing better. that late goal has given the edge

I thought that was Wenger

Chelsea are taking the edge, Ballack almost ...

How long has it been since JT scored a goal?

Corner after corner after corner for Chelsea, they're really on top. Hopefully we get to see Sheva soon!

Now Man U are getting owned.

Well as long as Malouda kicks them, they have no chance to score from a corner kick

It would be great if the game went to the penalty shotout then C.Ronaldo misses the last one

Tevez that fvcking Argie coward

Now that would be priceless!
