ManU didn't deserve the three points today... 2 offside goals, one lucky goal. Torres with world class goals and misses... Fake penalty... Yellow for tacking the ball off Rooney. Terry getting booked for asking the ref why he sucks. Cole getting a yellow (deservedly). It's funny.

The top left linesman didn't give any calls or call offsides (for chelsea), while the one on the bottom right gave them all the calls (including 2-3 yellows to chelsea). Nice piece of reffing. =\

The Chelsea Manager will have a great future... He's very smart and I'm sure Chelsea will beat Man u at Stamford bridge.

You can understand WHY torres missed it. He has been so woefully off form with nothing going for him then that chance comes and instead of confidently rolling it in he tries to blast it into the net. It's just a pity that they are going to be talking about it for weeks probably

Overall a massively entertaining game, better than any classicos. United used their luck (clinical whatever) and exploited some of chelseas defensive weaknesses but if chelsea finished their chances we probably would have won

I'm staying positive

Though Chelsea was the better side.

hilariously awesome game. torres had an amazing second half until he probably made the biggest blunder of his career. united was lucky but also good, chelsea was unlucky but also bad (at finishing.)

At least that dude who hit the crossbar in 1992 with an empty net will feel a weight lifted off him

Schalke vs Bayern still going on, 0-2 now.
Bayern are looking good value for their lead, they dominated the 2nd half so far.

edit: Bayern didn't concede a goal in like forever

Boateng + Badstuber = Monster Central Defense (both only 22 and 21 years old)

And Badstuber played with a yellow (almost red) card since the 30th minute flawlessly till the end.

Also, I loved André villas-boas post-game interview. he seems like a remarkably sympathetic and intelligent man. he didn't complain at all, he was just happy about his team's performance.

His response to the question after the norwich game was class

"He didn't seem to think it was a penalty"
AVB - Well he has a fantastic imagination. Fantastic.

edit: I like how without sounding cocky and bitter he pointed out the terrible officiating
