This is the first time I've seen Rooney get pushed around by a defender so much that he has to resort to getting the ref's attention every minute.

I thought Luiz had picked up his 2nd with that trip of Rooney a minute before the PK. Fuck that's huge.

Vidic red carded...looks like Spurs have to win on Sunday to stay ahead of Chelsea and Wolves is not an easy team to play at home.

Lol, Vidic to be absent at Anfield.
Gotta say, Drogba played real smart in the game today.

Smalling was having a great game before the penalty.

awesome match, constant aggression from whichever side held the ball. chelsea was imo slightly better and deserved to win, even if the penalty was debateable, or even wrong. very difficult decision for the referee though, can't really fault him for giving a penalty, but through analyzing the replay it seems like he prolly shouldn't have given one.

Hahaha I'm happy to see someone to mention a game between two 2. Bundesliga sides xD. If Bayern wins vs. Schalke tomorrow , the DFB Cup Final will be between Bayern and Duisburg, which is safe for Duisburg to secure a EuroLeague spot for next season. OMG I don't want to imagine how a 2. Bundesliga side will represent the DFB at european stage. Hahaha

Since they are getting a spot from a cup game, won't they start really low in euroleague?

I don't understand how anybody can say the penalty is wrong... it went through the guys leg and Smalling tripped him... it was such an easy decision.

Also Chelsea played to win and Manchester just defended and counter attacked. they didn't seem dangerous except for a couple of times in the game. On the other hand chelsea kept pushing and pushing all game long and it paid off.

The seeding depends on the recent success in European leagues cups, doesn't it? Either way they will be seeded as low as possible.

Imo Chelsea was better over the whole game. For the first 30 minutes Manchester played superior and had a deserved lead, but afterwards Chelsea took control of the game. Still, Luiz'(who played great) should've been sent off for his challenge against Rooney.

Thats the point i was trying to make. They always give the worst spot to the cup game winner. :p

OMG David Luiz is out of this world. What a signing. His brilliant goal sparked the Chelsea of old.

God you spend time and pain watching football for moments like that.

I disagree, Manchester definitely pushed for a victory and you could see it in the intensity of their attacks. The second Chelsea penalty partially came because ManU pushed perhaps a few too many players forwards and were caught out on a counter-attack.

Obviously, there will be some contentious issues like whether Luiz should have been sent off (I think he should have), but he played very well today as did Essien. It was very nice to see alot of the energy and enthusiasm that seemed to be lacking from the team in many occasions throughout the season.

I certainly don't want to hear anybody talk about people needed to be sent off because the goal scoring for manchester shouldn't even be playing... but the FA is protecting their asset .

He probably did what Shearer did back in the day and tell the FA to fuck off or he won't play for England anymore.

This lets Arsenal back into it, but we haven't taken advantage yet. So disappointed that van persie and walcott are out for longer. Happy United lost and I hope they drop more points.
