UWS!
Prepare your tissues JT
Nani dropped…team -> Man Utd: Van der Sar, Evra, Ferdinand, Rooney, Giggs, Park, Chicharito, Vidic, Carrick, Rafael, Valencia
the only doubt i have is with our number 2, Mike Phelan. He’s a good assistant, not that great. otherwise, COME ON YOU REDS !
Lið Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa Ivanovic Terry Cole, Ramires, Essien, Lampard Zhirkov, Drogba, Torres.
Varamenn: Turnbull, Benayoun, Mikel, Malouda, Ferriera, Kalou, Anelka.
Lið Manchester Untied: Van der Sar, Rafael, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Rooney, Hernandez.
Varamenn: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Smalling, Nani, Scholes, Evans, Gibson.
@3/without/killing/anyone*
How do you know that? Sir Alex wouldn’t have him as his number 2 if Phelan wasn’t top notch. Mayve your opinion is because his surname is Phelan and more ‘continental’!
Chelsea’s weakness is on the wings. Stoke caused them all sorts of problems. Surely, we can do the same? Can see goals, 2 1 United.
Come on United!
Please on what site can I get the match on online?
Come on Reds
pity berba on the bench
Lots of cards tonight methinks,Chelsea thugs will wonder what hit them cue the complaints about the referee HaH.
How do I increase the volume? @radziu I have tried all I can to know avail. Thanks
@bchilds naahh, nothing to do with ‘continental’ mate. am not saying he’s bad though, but surely there are better options. In my opinion, he’s not that good tactically. At times when needed, fresh ideas and options has to be imply to SAF, and i dont really think he did enough. I think Queiroz was a better assistant manager than him. Not saying we should ring Queiroz and hire him again, i’d like to see ex players to be SAF assistant and let MP stick to first team coach.
Berbagasm on it’s way in the second half.
3/without/killing/anyone – who cares who is the assistent, fergie is there and thats all that matters. And why are we debating about phelen, he does his job well so thats all that matters
Come on ye Reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The assistant debate is a long one. What I will say, is that this is the first time in a long time that SAF has put out such an attacking team for the 1st leg of a European tie.
Banner in the United end: “United & City. Joined by geography, separated by success.”
barbie and captain leader legend already had booked, or from this stage will start over???
Here the viva John Terry……fuck the away fans are awesome……..
Go united.may victory be with you guys.united for ever
Bad tackle by Essien, no yellow card. Sigh, why am I not surprised.
Come on Park. Show us your true colours!
@Redrider…..Berbagasm…lol fuckin genius!!
I think Chelsea have got a problem with Rooney…
Carrick has been very good first 15 mins
yup Carrick has been very good. But Rio and Parky looks a bit awkward.. been out too long..
Oh yes nice one United let the slaughter begin.
Fuck What Fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get in there Wazza, do your talking on the park
Giggsy, marry me?
What the hell happened to carrick?
looks a totally different player!
What? Fucking What?
Easiest goal we’ve scored in a long time. Where the fuck was Chelsea’s so called amazing defence. Where are the Carrick haters now? Amazing ball to Giggs. And important run from Chicarito to take Ivanovic and the Chelsea defense away from the ball.
The all-important away goal. Now all we need is the victory.
Carrick don’t you go under shadow….believe…..I know giggsy controlled beautifully and Rooney finished excellently…but Carrick’s been brilliant
Drogba getting out-muscled by 21 year old Rafael is the greatest sight in European football.
told you so…..lol
WTF CARRICK AND GIGGSSS!!!!!
whew that is a let off
Rio is picking up the lady hahahah
Scott reports that to many are posting. I am moving to the traditional method.
COOMMMMON YOU REDSSSSSS!
TORRES IS STILL A DIVING B*ASTARD!!!!!!
Fingers crossed. But can we possibly fuck ‘em in their backyard like schalke did inter?
Chicho seems a bit lost. But that was a good effort.
Chaves are flopping around like ladies with torn stockings. Wish the ref
would book one of them for this. WR10 is being fouled right and left.
Come on U REDS. Get stuck in!!!!
Stop dinkin it around lads.
OOOOOOO that was freekin close!!!! Need the whistle here. Sheeesssh
Phew! I can take that shit now.
And oh, Carrick and Rio have been brilliant this half.
That was close.
Absolutely loving the game! Tremendous! We are full value for our lead.
Come on United!
Could someone provide me some good link??
bring berba on
Chelsea seem to be doing nothing with all their possession whereas United are more purposeful all around. Everytime we get near their penalty box, we look like we will score.
A few close calls though mostly due to us giving the ball away far too easily in dangerous positions. I feel SAF will have a word with the team about that.
Carrick has been beastly though. Easily MOM so far.
It’s amazing how shit chelski are when the ref isn’t bought
Carrick played pretty well so far. Giggs was awesome. And it looks like Rooney is in a scoring streak
Now, we got to make sure a proper second half
i’ve been a rooney basher ever since the prostitute/contract affair, and his behavior since has not been that much better. so i also have to say, that his goal scoring record in the last couple of months has been sensational. does anyone know how many goals he has scored and in how many games, sine he returned to scoring a couple of months ago?
At that single moment, Valencia and Rafael lost their concentration allowing Drogba to send the ball into our box. That’s what happens when you lost your concentration against great sides.
I can see it getting a bit tasty later…..
Let’s finish this match on the second half. Rent boys are there for taking.
Should be careful at the back, avoid silly things in front of our goal and giving ball away cheaply. As long as we play simple football we will be fine!
Pick the fuckers of next half,Oh joy.
Carrick has been awesome thus far.
Good performance, but this is where it will get tougher. We must not allow them to close us down like that.
Wilkins on chelsea at half time “It almost appears as if the occasion is too big.”

http://www.soccertvlive.net/watch/58497/1/watch-chelsea-vs-manchester-united.html
One change i would like at some stage is Nani on for Park – Park looks a little superfluous to me right now – Nani could be really useful in hitting them on the break when they start looking desperately for a goal later on. Mind you, Chelsea just might take the 0-1 rather than risking going 0-2 down. This second half is going to be interesting.
Wonder if the big Russian crook will flash his rubles in front of the ref at half time!!!!
United are directly responsible for both my good cholesterol and bad cholesterol!!!
Xyth
think he hasn’t tried that already?!
My song for chelsea,
When the ref isn’t bought,
When the ref isn’t bought,
Ye’re not half as good,
When the ref isn’t bought,
Sorry how many goals does roo have in the lge? i thought he had 12.
Lets hope we ll keep the result today. I feel that the first 15/20 mins will be crucial
COME ON LADS!!!
Michael Carrick looks like a different footballers altogether. Assertive, fast, powerful…and oh yeah, he can still pass! Love it!
Nani being left out for last 2 games. Does it has anything to do with him mumbling to the press that Fergie stops him from expressing himself in games?
Carrick to be honest has shown some good glimpses of what he’s all about in the last few weeks – some solid defensive work in particular, and some important block – but he’s really put together whole package for tonight so far. Lets hope he keeps it going – he’s going to be might important in the 45 mins to come!
Come on United!!
Viva John Terry!!!!!
He just stuck his leg out in the way of a 200lb man running at 80% speed. Is there any wonder why Rafael gets injured so much??? Not smart at all.
Nani on for Rafael. We are UNITED! That is just too good!!!!
Chelsea fans again showing they have no class. The boy is being carried on a stretcher and they are booing.
Fucking classless cunts, the lot of them.
Cards starting to show, Essien!!!!!
Chelsie seem really flustered by the traveling support
VIVA JOHN TERRY!!!!!!!
Evra has been troublesome since Drogba switching
most of chelsea’s fouls are petulant and just after United have stolen the ball from them
Got a little too over excited the announcer there with Essien strike….what a troll
20 minutest to go. I would like to see some fresh legs.
Maybe Berba and Scholes on to cut them to pieces.
see that bloke/idiot/twat/beaknosed cunt Andy Townsend? Is he a fookin Chelsea waller or what? fuckin` clueless cunt,sounds like he`s wanting chelsea to win even though he`s supposed to be non-biased….fuckin` dick,hope his nose catches a disease and falls off,the cunt.
Here comes the berb
Berbagasm time!!!
Wow, Chicho off berbs on. SAF must be tracking my posts
let us be awed by berba
Steady boys. 5 minutes! Come on U Reds!!!!!
Evra!!!! Get stuck in laddddd!!!!! Come on UNITED!!!
Come On United!!
Why cant we hold the ball for more than 10 seconds?
penalty at stamford bridge….inevitable
given by a bought ref….yes
even when it`s not a foul…..yes
Fucked by a european ref at your own ground…..PRICELESS
UNNNNNIIITTTTTEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a result, maybe we nought the ref with rameres pen shout
YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Bought not nought
What a difference a ref makes HaaaaHaaaa.
Chelshite were missing their most influential player tonight..Martin Atkinson..Looks like Roman’s influence doesn’t extend to CL..Job half done lads..Lets finish it at OT..GGMU!!!!
Holy crap we got lucky with evra.
Well done United! Away goal gives us an edge at Old Trafford. Bring it home, lads!
Also, well done for ending our winless run at the bridge.
Come on United!
Fucking right, Chelsea get shafted on a big decision. About time too.
finally, lucky goes our way at the Bridge
Happy to take 1-0 back to Old Trafford, but to be honest, it doesn’t make too much different to Chelsea
Ashame we did not get another goal! Anyway we should see this through now!!!!
hahahahahahahaha… ladyboy ladyboy where have you been?
i’ve been to london to shit at the bridge.
Fuck Stamford Bridge, United breaking records as usual. Justice on our side, after all their cheating victories karma strikes in their face. That could’ve easily been a pen, but who gives a fuck. FUCK YOU CHELSEA! Rooney is on fire, Carrick played really well also.
Breaking News: UEFA and European Referee Conspire to Gift United victory at the Bridge
It is by now common knowledge that Abramovich and his Chelsea army wanted English referee Martin Atkinson to be officiating the Champions League game. In fact, it is heard that in a move of desperation Abramovich even offered to bribe the top brass at UEFA to get his wish fulfilled. His efforts, however, proved futile as UEFA appointed one of their European referees for the game at Stamford Bridge.
The English Press is attacking UEFA for showing this clear sign that they are favoring United by appointing a fair referee to officiate the game between English Football’s top two sides. The F.A. have taken it upon them personally to enquire on the issue and take it up with UEFA and FIFA in their next meeting.
Meanwhile, Roman Abramovich is set to double his offer to UEFA to get Martin Atkinson to referee for the home game. We will let you know as we gain more information on this ongoing issue.
loved it when torres booked for diving. its long overdue!
Somewhere in London the universe is balancing itself out.
Payback is a bitch isn’t it? Lets wait for next Tuesday before we get carried away though.
Evra’s was 95% a penalty I felt. I noticed that he got some of the ball in one of the replays. Nonetheless, Torres should have been off! So the ref got twm decisions wrong.
Unimpressive from United in the 2nd half. They just couldn’t hold onto the ball. Kept giving it away and kept inviting Chelsea to attack. Why???
Would it round it of if Rooney wins his appeal jut imagine the vomit.
Woooooosh! We really dodged a bullet right there, I don’t like our tacticts against strong teams, this is why we keep loosing to them we don’t keep the ball we chasing the ball and putting too much pressure on our defense, this happen all the time against them in the second half
On a more serious note, Ladyboy and Chelsea got exactly what they deserved – Nothing.
United were the better all around team in the game. Chelsea definitely got stuck in late on and could’ve scored a goal, but United’s defending was also far better as was our tactics. As far as the late foul is concerned, as much as anyone can argue, that was never a penalty from where the referee was. It was a 50-50 which you get on some days and you don’t on other days. But definitely not clear-cut as some of the decisions that have gone against us.
As far the team, the defense was rock solid again. VDS producing some stunning saves and earning an unwarranted yellow. Ferdinand looked like he had never been out. Carrick was definitely MOM for his outstanding performance. Nani did not offer much once he came on, but we were under the kosh when he was around, so it is not fair on him. Rooney looked lively and is hitting form for the business end of the season whereas Hernandez looked lost at times.
Overall, great result for us and the victory for deserved, not only for this performance, but for our past few performances. Unless, we produce the worst home display of the season, I think we are already through to the semi finals. Though as with all things United, it is never good to underestimate your opponent, so let us just see what happens next week. But I am more than confident of our chances now.
Roman sends SOS to Martin Atkinson-”Mate, we need you for the 2nd leg..My boys fucked it up again”
Nice professional performance from your side.I guess we need to buy some quality players in midfield and attack and replace some of our ageing stalwarts.I beleive you guys have won the tie.I believe we should have had a clear penalty at the end there.Just goes to show that you get your luck with these officials.
Karma is a BITCH ain’t it? HAHAHA…finally some justice from all those bad calls against us.
However, must agree with everyone. Must have kept the ball. I feel that Giggs should have been replaced by Scholes too cool off the game. Unecessary streess I really.
Either way, great result!
@BALAJI
are you suggesting that chelsea are in some way trying to buy a win?
well you would only be of the same view as most of us on here as the FA are in iramabitches pockets.
lol
where are all the carrick haters now?
where?
fuckin’ where?!!
I just hope we don’t get complacent thinking the semi-final spot is guaranteed simply because of the return leg being at Old Trafford. It is absolutely imperative that we score the first 2 goals in that leg.
@chelsea fans clear penalty??? yeaaahh……yeaaahhh……you all had no luck eh??? cant buy the referee as usual???
One more year Van Der Sar!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Eat it Chelsea!! No English ref, no penalty. What goes around, comes around, fools! United to the semis!
chelski fan
really now? hurts when the ref’s not on ur side doesn’t it?
@Saad, Having known United and SAF for more than half my life (which is not that long since I am young), I can guarantee that complacency is the last thing that will be on our minds. United get the first goal in the home tie and I can see Chelsea heads dropping below their shoulders. They don’t have the mental strength to bear that kind of a knockout blow.
Only half time, but a great result. Lets finish them off, at OT. That’s the best I’ve seen Carrick all season. Great ball to Giggs for the goal, as well. Rooney got some rough treatment from Chelsea’s players. They were obviously targeting him. Rio was different class. Sick of saying It, but he brings that composure to our defense and Vidic looks at ease, when he partners him. Maybe could’ve nicked another goal, but a great result, overall. ps Torres is a diving cunt!
Evra’s one was almost a penalty. Ok it was. This result is great only for the fact that we’ve beat them at sb, it’s about time, and that ladyboy was yellow carded for diving( he should have been sent off! Together with the even more disgraceful dive in the first half). The tie is still is balance, it’s a deficit they still can overcome easily at OT. So if we focus and so the job next tues, then we celebrate. Great performances from Giggs, Rooney, Chicharito and Carrick and the back 2 as usual. Brilliant that Rio was back, never looked like he was away. Hope Rafael’s injury isn’t serious or anything.
When last did United win at Stamford Bridge? Hmmmm
Chelsea 0 United 1: Rooney’s Goal Gives Reds Advantage
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/04/chelsea-0-united-1-rooneys-goal-gives.html
saad
that’s why Fergie’s Fergie. i don’t think anyone’s gonna get this into their heads. the next tie is a different match altogether.
Payback’s a bitch baby!!!!!What goes around, comes around..
@ Devil310: torres is a biT**
he should have got a red card after obvious divings, and yes SHE is a bi*C*
@Balaji
Well, I dont know about Chelsea’s mental strength but I’ll settle for United keeping majority of the possession in BOTH halves of the return leg. If we do, United’s superior quality will prevail. If we dont, we’d be giving Chelsea a life-line.
@ Chelski Fan – Buy new players ? What about all of the stupendous prospects coming out of your academy- Ha, thats a laugh !!!!
A fair comment from Chelsea fan for a change. United clearly deserved the win.
VDS was MOM for me just for that brilliant save..How the fuck are we gonna replace this guy???!!! I wouldn’t want to be in SAF’s shoes..
Fuck ABY media. They can’t stop talking about that fucking penalty!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I will say this again, from the referee’s position, there was no way he could’ve given a penalty for that. I am not suggesting it was the right decision but that it was closer than most of you are suggesting it was. The linesman had to make the call and even he did not have a clear view of that since from his angle, it could’ve looked like Evra had got the ball while it was Ramires who took it forward. The referee behind the goal could’ve made that call but he did not since he was the person who had the best view of the incident.
These kind of decisions can never be given unless you have replay involvement which is not going to happen for the forseeable future. Again, I thought it was a penalty but only from looking at the replay from the front-angle and referee’s don’t have that advantage. Anyways, it is just what we deserved after our last two games there, so nobody has any right to complain I am afraid.
Sorry I meant ABU media!!!!
The match at OT will be completely different..We are a fucking beast at home so I expect our lads to wrap up the tie with the minimum fuss unless you-know-who decides to officiate..
I’m gonna risk everyone’s wrath here and say this.
I thought Giggsy was sloppy. Yeah, he had that awesome piece of brilliance that set up Rooney’s goal, but he made too many sloppy mistakes and wrong decisions with the ball at his feet. Really frustrating given the profile of the match.
Sometimes…just sometimes…we are reminded by performances like today that he is indeed 37 years old.
@balaji..The evra tackle on Ramires is debatable..Sometimes they are given, sometimes they are not but it was by no means a clear cut penalty as some make it out to be..I thought the ref was quite fair when compared to that SOB Martin Atkinson..
but from the lineman’s view on the opposite side, that was def. a penalty. I just think we were plain lucky
Thought the away support was top class.
Na Na Naa Naaa
Na Na Naa Naaa
Wai ai aaai
Man United..
Na Na Naa Naaa
Na Na Naa Naaa
Wai ai aaai
Man United..
That’s all that can be heard at Stamford Bridge
Was Gary Neville amongst the traveling supporters tonight?
Isn’t it amazing when the referee is both strong AND fair. Great to see the Rent Boyz crying.
I had to endure Andy Townsend and some prat called Clive as the commentators – soooooo, one-sided it made me feel like King Eric listening to UK sport-talk radio.
Encouraging win by UTD. Fully deserved – much the better team.
Chelsea huffed and puffed but were easily outclassed.
A few talking points:
On the 89th minute it looked like a penalty for Chelsea. Unfortunately for them nothing given. Justice was done for the non-penalty given against Smalling five weeks ago.
With a truly non-biased referee Chelsea found it hard going. They had much of the second but hardly threatened VDS.
Hernandez for £6m or Torres for £50m? No contest.
Torres looked totally disinterested. He made a mistake going to ‘Pool, has he realised he made a mistake going to Chelsea? I wonder if he regrets not going to UTD?
I expect UTD to wrap it up next Tuesday and go on to beat Schalke. A trip to Wembley to meet Barca may be on the cards.
Remember Barca have NEVER won in England.
What fucking penalty Evra clearly won the ball at least as I saw it much the same way All the Chelsea fans saw no penalties against them when we played them a couple of weeks ago.Cheeky bastards
God damn where is the f***ker Martin Atkinson when you need him?????????
Where does one begin?
Next Manchester United.
The shirt is a symbol of defiance
This club is a symbol of defiance
This history is a symbol of defiance.
If you throw shit at us – if you abuse us – if you ridicule us – if you tread on us
Together we will rise and stand up for our club.
Next Manchester United.
@chelsea fan
buy new players or buy some refs?? I haven`t got my reading glasses they were stolen by midgets at the pub while I was watching the match,they had dark blue shirts on, sneaky little fuckers they are….
@chelsea fan
I think they were crying as well…
parryheid @ 21:09: “What fucking penalty Evra clearly won the ball at least as I saw it much the same way All the Chelsea fans saw no penalties against them when we played them a couple of weeks ago.Cheeky bastards”
Martin Atkinson would have given it to them !
So what if it was a penalty? JT would slipped. Again. And he would then bawl. There and then.
VDS is irreplaceable. At 40.
