To me, the key turning-point didn't happen: it occurred when Rooney was at the end of a long fast-break and he hit the side netting. Otherwise, lots of to-and-fro and hard-fought; giving UTD six or seven yellow cards was clearly ridiculous. But, overall, the game was (not) decided on the pitch - neither the referee nor the linesmen made crucial calls. Park, Hargreaves, and especially Fletcher were excellent in sticking to their tasks. Jonny Evans showed real poise; Rio showed great leadership; and Gary Neville is still a yard (or more) short of pace. Bring back Wesley.

Better to score an injury time goal to draw and thus take the 'celebration' out of the Chelsea team & fans. It will make for better headline news next day.

This is the one were we dont need that. Its ours to win , just needs the players to dominate ,press & above all do not play for the draw .

Why? Because Liverpool made me feel sick last weekend, Villareal got a draw from us at our place and lets face it- Chelski not losing a game at the Bridge for over 4 years is embarrasing and an absolute shocker for me. The last game we lost at Old Trafford was in February. Liverpools last loss at Anfield was against us in 2007 and Arsenal havent lost since April 2007 either. But Chelski being unbeaten at their own ground for over 4 years? Its impossible really, this is football, such things cannot stand! Someone has got to beat them sometime, why cant it be us? We are the record breakers anyway! I would not be happy with a draw. Why?
