You may have looked away, as I did, and missed this Fernando Torres miss. So, kick back and enjoy the replay.

Evra on Rooney’s penalty miss: “I prefer Wayne does that here than in Moscow.”
rightly so. rub it in their faces
thank you Nando!!! you beauty!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Breakin News : aftr enterin the locker room Torres kept a gun to his head and tried to shoot himself but he missed that too! =D =))
love dat scot….hahaha…
but we missd a cm who cud boss d game…defintly cleverly….hope hes back ind squad ASAP….
hahahahaha… what a way to ease the tension in the game.. hahahaha
rooney slips on his penalty and united still win LOL
And he thought he was bouncing back.
May Lady-boy have many many more moments like this!
Yes this miss made it much easier for us, but turning point in the match for me was DeGea point blank save at 1:0!!! Are the fucking ABU media give him the credit he deserves?
I really laughed.
Very entertaining game that I enjoyed watching.
pity him, his goal today will not be remembered.
he should be happy that this miss will definitely win some recognition.
@Costas, To be fair, we could see glimpses of the Torres that tormented us with Liverpool a couple of seasons ago. That finish for the first goal was pure class and the way he got through a couple of our defenders and struck firmly with his left foot would also have been confidence boosting for Chelsea supporters. But that was one of the worst misses I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I almost fell on the floor laughing when that happened. I think that could be a huge knock on his confidence and maybe he will regress back to his old self.
Are we really in a position to take the piss considering that comedy penalty? If it had cost us the match, they’d all be singing ‘Viva Wayne Rooney’.
As for Torres, I hope it wrecks his season but he still scored against us. Bastard.
I bet if Utd were at the bridge, it would have been a different game, and may be even a different outcome, but am happy we won, despite missing a penalty. However the way we played in the second half is hardly recommended, if torres had hit that second chance in instead of wide, chelski could have got back in the game… but lets all laugh at torres and chelski, 3rd london club to visit, and yet another one defeated by our young team
I did not enjoy that Match.
Negative Reasons :
#Chico was hurt by that Cunt Cole and no justice was handed out !
# We played immature and showed inexperience against a poor team
# Our Midfield got Ran over, Carrick saved the defence in the little time he had.
# Missed Pen, Nani Cross Bar shot, Rooney post shot, Berba’s fucking open goal.
# This game should have been killed off, not give me a hearty attack !
# Clevs is out, so’s Chico,Smalling,Rio,Rafa but Welbeck back soon.
# Davies and Cole walked away scot free.
#Ando was poor at times. So was Rooney but he was more unlucky.
A few good points:
# De Gea was awesome and made a outstanding contribution. 10/10
# Jones and Evans was Beasts, Inexperienced monsters but did a good job.
# Evra is Back !
# Fletch was great for 45 mins, Carrick was our saviour.
# Our wingers are magic men.
At the end, A Job Well Done, but I was pissed at the negatives. Maybe in a few days I will see the things that went well.
I’ll laugh at this a little later, but this was such a crucial miss, I’m just going to appreciate the moment for a while. Torres scores this, and I would have needed a stretcher at the end of the game, regardless of result…
What a bloody game that was? Strewn with errors, sloppy beyond belief, but strangely compelling nonetheless. I think only at 3-0 did I feel any sense of comfort, and that was quickly dashed when Torres scored right away after half time. That was truly the most ‘even’ of games, a term which is often used too flippantly. Its one of those games that I feel I should watch again, but part of me doesn’t want to either since I don’t think I’ll make any sense of it however many times I watch it.
Players: I don’t think players can be assessed on games such as these – something about such games and oppositions seems to show players at their most vulnerable or at their best, there is no middle way. I don’t think we’ll see the number of misplaced passed by our players in a regular game. Having said that, Rooney had his worst game, by his high standards this year. He looked cheerful but a little too much for me, just looked to be lacking that bit of focus and grit funnily enough. Best player, no doubt Nani. I know people here get frustrated with him often, but this is the kind of performance that you can get from this lad, and the frustrating stuff he does needs to be balanced off with the pure genius he can produce.
De Gea: How ironic it is that on a day where every bloody player on the pitch (including Cech) was sloppy at points, De Gea was probably the cleanest of the lot?
Oh, and the Chicharito thing, no penalty, RED CARD!
Great game lads!! Had everything in it, some good saves from De gea, but not as convincing as our first couple of games. Got the goals efficiently, but the scoreline does no justice to the game.
Could easily have been 5-5 in my opinion, and they were constantly knocking.
They seem to have stepped up to the challenge and polished their all round game, all that needs mastering now is getting the ball in the back of the net
As for Torres, I honestly feared him scoring against us today, but who could have dreamed up such a nightmare!!
Glad to have taken the 3 points as City threw away their lead like complete muppets. 100% record… could we be on an unbeaten run till the end of the season?! Fingers crossed!
Lady 1 sitting next to Abramovich pulls her tits out and say’s “Can you sign them please?”
Abramovich signs willingly.
Lady 2 sitting on the opposite side pulls her skirt up and say’s “Can you sign it please?”
Abramovich says “Last time I signed a cunt it cost me 50 million”
19.
@Clint: I would only take the injury negatives seriously. The rest, I would read much into – these games are often one-offs in so many ways, and tell us little about how we might perform for most the rest of the season.
Oh btw, I have to say, on the little evidence from early in the season AVB is really a class act. Really impressive lad, much like Ancelloti last season. Chelsea have a moron owner, but I have liked their managers the last couple of years. In contrast to that Mancini idiot who just irritates me no end. Zero modesty, zero class, much like the club, its owners, and the city of Abu Dhabi!
@Mahesh, Agreed on AVB. He has the hallmarks of being a great manager. Right from the get go, he is showing attacking intent, a good footballing brain if his substitutions are anything to go by and no fear of the player power by dropping certain senior players. These are all really great to see. I wouldn’t be surprised if he dropped Torres as well once The Drog returns who is much better striker than Torres right now. In his interviews and press conferences also, he handles himself with great class and says all the right things. These are qualities that are so rare in managers these days – especially when compared to a certain egoistic cunt who is currently at the virus. AVB is definitely growing on me as a manager. Now, let’s see whether Mr. Cunt AKA Abramovich lets him stay for longer than a season after he sees United lifting the trophy in May.
Torres is a cunt and deserves this bad run.
As a Mancunian, its only natural I hate the scousers with a passion, but this lad fernando has actually got me feeling sorry for them, he left liverpool a club that like United has a great history, a place he was playing well and adored by their lot and foor what? to go to chelsea a shit club with no history just money. He along with other money grabbing cunts like ashley cole dont deserve to be seen as great footballers.
This miss was hilarious, fantastic.
Is there any explanation for us not being awarded a Penalty for the Cole tackle on Chicha?
I am just so pissed off at the fact that last week we lost Clevs Now Chico because of these cunts.
It hurts me to see our lads hurt and in pain when they are in great form. Feel like a soppy girl.
what a cunt…….
I don’t think we should gloat on this miss. As much as we like to pile on the pressure on oppositions, one can only imagine the nightmares that poor fellow will be getting. The video of this miss will go viral and rightly regarded as one of the all time worst misses. Rooney did not cover himself with glory as well, not just with the penalty miss, but also with the scuffed effort which went onto the post, as well as the over hit pass to Berbatov.
So let us just celebrate the result here, and the result at Fulham. And look forward to the next game.
A few things to note. Anderson almost gifting Chelsea a goal. Not the first time Anderson gave the ball away in a dangerous position, he has done it before in previous games. The balance between passing & dribbling must improve
Torres time & again got away from Evans. The goal Torres scored, he ran in behind Jones, Evans had full view of Torres’s run, but did not follow him. Again later, Evans got turned inside out for that Torres miss. In between the 2 incidents, Jones had to bail out Evans after Torres again left Evans stranded. Not slating him, but he desperately needs to improve
I think Evans had a cracker really, and Jones and him have a great partnership developing. Dunno where that puts Smalling though, but great that we have some gems in defence. Evans really played like a genius in the first half, and some of his distribution to the wings was just pure class. Jones and him cover each other when needed really. I think they only need to work on defending through balls, but the midfield also needs to take the blame there. Great game though, and a great big shout out to De Gea.
Tranny cunt.
Shocking miss, considering he played well. He scores there, Chelsea could easily go and get the third. Conversely, we could score a fourth. It was that open. How shit was fat Frank? He’ll be gone from Chelsea, if AVB stays the course.
Worst miss I’ve ever seen. He had time to walk the ball into the goal FFS. Incredible.
Couldn’t have happened to a bigger twat either. Why is he always giving it the biggun to United fans? Always has done, since his Liverpool days, making gestures at our fans when he scores. He’s a little fucking prick who knows nothing about Manchester United, so should keep his arrogant gestures to himself.
Karma’s a bitch, Torres. Stupid prick.
If only I could click a “like” button for this….
AVB conducts himself really well. He’s more mature at 34 than Mourinho is at 47.
@Clint:
I have to disagree on Evans. Generally he has a good game but not overly convincing either. The pass to Torres (where he missed the open goal) was quite odd that he couldn’t intercept. I mean there are a few others but that one I thought was quite weird.
i wouldn t laugh to Torres, because Roo did the same. But like the Zelh said….
Evra on Rooney’s penalty miss: “I prefer Wayne does that here than in Moscow.”
Clint think you have hit most of the main points but would add:-
Negative Reasons :
#Chico was hurt by that Cunt Cole and no justice was handed out ! Red card – dirty fucking twat – studs up and he did him right under the shin guard
# Tactically we almost fucked ourselves – they played 4 narrow in the middle so most of the time we were outnumbered 4 – 2 – but we were seeing acres of space out wide – you covered that one later – they were setting 2 on Ando all game – 1 on Fletcher – we did not look as uncomfortable when the wide players came inside or Rooney dropped back.
Fletcher still not back to his best – some of his passing was poor – but credit Chelsea they were crowding us out in the middle for long spells
Jones and Evans do need to sort their communications out – when Torres went past them they were both pointing fingers
As to the misses – not sure who’s were worse – we won so we can laugh but ffs we cannot do that every week. Even funnier was the two Liverpool dismissals and City being 2 up and drawing
Will have to watch the replay later and get an objective perspective – or maybe just tune into the Comedy Station and watch reruns of The Three Stooges – not much difference
UNITED 20/4/12 – 2012
(Sent from the cardiac ward at Toronto General)
Great game ofcourse, what a hilarious miss for MR cunt aka torres.. Though he did good today than previous games n got a goal as dividend..lol. But i think he celebrates too soon n got to his head which cost him that stupid miss of his career.
For chicha, is more tricky tentative n is pace is what d blues defence cant curtail.. But he shd learn more on how to read games maybe he would have gotten much actions..he shd remember the ucl final against barca… Anyway, nice game my thumb up for ds lads…xxxx
50 million pounds must feel like a real fat bitch to carry on your back, eh Senor Torres???
What’s with the love for AVB. End of day he is a fucking rent boy. No respect from me. Let’s see how classy he is when they lose a few more. Fuck the cunt. And fuck that tranny scum cunt. Horrible club from top to bottom.
Strange game. Good first half. Poor second but we are only top fibe team to win. Let’s enjoy it. Rooneys wasn’t a bad miss he just slipped.
Thoght fletch did ok considering been out so long. Better than any of his performnces last season.
Big three points let’s just enjoy it.
Was stood three yard away from Jason Cundy outside lime bar.
I’m just happy to see Fletcher back.
On Torres – I would love to see Liverpool finish above Chelsea, although there’s probably not much chance of that happening
Oh and de gea is looking the part. The save first half was superb. Had to laugh at chavs trying to put de gea off when he kicked the ball. Best part of his game. His refelexes are top drawer.
Jones is a fucking beast.
Nani has become some player.
Even though of his unfortunate past i can’t help but liking him. By all accounts he’s not a knob, a genuinely nice guy off the field, stays away from the prima donnas at chelski “after work”, and come on the lad’s class. yeah it was a bad miss but, like mentioned above, had a pretty good game actually. I’d sign him up in a sec even now (not for 50
though) He’d actually fit really well into United’s ethos i think, he seems like a player that works when structures around him agree with him and i’m pretty sure he’d respect the shit out of ours! i’m sure i’ll get roasted for saying this but yeah 
and give him a break..he has to go in and see that mob every day..isn’t that punishment enough?
F’ing worthless cunt. Couldn’t help but laugh!
You can’t but this feeling. I disagree strongly mate. He is a fucking horrible nasty snide whinging cunt. Always is the ref`s face. Don’t know if it showed you on tv but he charged the full length of the pitch to hernandez and officials when hernandez was injured. I fucking hate the tranny cunt.
@King Eric – nah they didn’t. right…noone does tht to our Chicho! noone. torres back to being a tranny cunt then
Did Evra really say that? Seriously love that fella!
Just to throw some conspiracies into the mix- Rooney was wearing new boots for the first time today and was quoted as saying something to the effect of “I even got to choose the exact position of the studs”, the hoses looked full on at half time and he wasn’t the only player to slip however, Wayne, maybe you should have a word. Oh and PS- Viva Fernando!
haha as soon as he rounded de gea i closed my eyes only to hear martin tyler go silent for a second and say
“my lord he missed”
the replay made me feel a whole lot better.
although we also missed a fair few chances
i was watching the gane in a Mallorcan bar, next to me was a Mallorcan who was killing himself laughing at tranny Torres’s miss. Even his country men hate him lol
Does nobody still think that we require an experienced midfielder???? Did we not see what happened in the Chelsea game. God forbid this fuck had scored, we would be shitting our pants. Would we see such a tormenting attack on us if Keano / Scholes was still present?? We would have killed the game of at 3-0.
I know that we managed to win 3-1, but the score is not an accurate picture of the match. Our defence was all over the place. We got lucky with the Torres miss.
Our game is so reliant on pace right now, although I love it, I think that we need to put in a experienced head in the middle who can control the ball, keep possession and break up all the attacks.
Yes, The Premier League may be a cakewalk right now, but eventually someone will find a way to break our game. In my opinion, AVB had figured out a way to break it (his players just didn’t deliver).
Champion’s League will be a completely different ball game all together. For the difficult away games we will not be able to outrun them. We need a calm head in the middle, and ball possession (one of the reasons I think Fergie started with such a midfield in Benefica).
I love the way we are playing right now, but I would be more assured if there were another experienced world class midfielder in the middle of the park.
I’ve just watched FoxSportsWorld match highlights and, in point of fact, TheLadyBoy had two incredible misses from a “world class” striker – the first was the volley he shot over the bar in the 72nd minute; the second was his moment-of-madness ten minutes later.
Just seen the picture on the back page of the Mirror, says it all, he he.
