If anyone still have doubts, let me make it very clear……..WE MEAN BUSINESS this season.

JT’s winner has now put us 5 points clear of United and yes, we mean business.

Sir Alex put Rooney as a lone striker over a 5 man midfield and so it was clear from the start that

he has come with the objective of a draw and gaining one point.

I had mentioned in my earlier post that Van Der Saar will have to be at his best to stop the Chelsea

onslaught and he proved me right by making some crucial stops from Ivanovic and Anelka.

The 1st half approach by both teams was a bit cautious as the respective mid-fields cancelled out

each other. However, it was the 76th minute free kick from Lampard, which Terry glanced into the far

post, that proved to be the difference between the two teams.

The last 15 minutes witnessed pressure cooker scenes at the Bridge with yellow cards flowing out

left, right and centre.

To their credit United played quite a good game, perhaps one of their best this season. Although he

lacked support, Rooney was quite impressive upfront and helped out the defenders whenever required.

However, as usual, Man U are never gracious in defeat…………there are comments flowing in from all

around as to whether Chelsea should have been granted a free kick, whether Wes Brom was pulled down

in the box, Drogba was offside and the list continues.

The problem with free kicks is that no player/ fan at the receiving end will actually accept that it

was a free kick. The fact is, if Chelsea wouldn’t have scored from that free kick no one would have

ever complained that it wasn’t a free kick.

Man U fans will be ready to jump the gun on the referee but they so easily tend to forget that:

• Jonny Evans should have been red carded for that kick on Drogba
• Valencia was lucky not to be sent off for his two footer challenge on Lampard
• MORE IMPORTANTLY, Martin Atkinson is the same referee who helped Man U win against Man C by

allowing 7 minutes after announcing 4 minutes of stoppage time.

Guys, please be gracious in defeat.

Anyways, the good old days of Mourinho seems to be back at the fortress……1 goal conceded in the last

11 games in all competitions at the Bridge.

Those who follow the league for some seasons now will know that it would be foolish to draw

conclusions at such an early stage but anyways it’s a vital 5 point lead and daylight between the

BEST and the REST.

To conclude, I believe this season it will be a fight between the Chelsea Men and the Gunner Boys

with Man U finishing 3rd.

God Bless!!!

You would think after 23 years Fergie would have learnt to be gracious in defeat. Even after all he has done as a manager it is what stops me from having respect for the guy. He has nothing to prove any more so why the predictable, childish behaviour?But don't get too excited Ankur - how many times have Man U been lagging behind early/mid season but take over at the end as their competitors hit the bad times??? Too many unfortunately...

What utter codswallop. I wouldn't say putting 5 across the midfield suggested Fergie was looking for a point—when has he ever, in over 30 years of managing in the top flight, ever gone looking for a single point in a league game? Rather the objective was to prevent Chelsea from dominating that area and then look to get bodies up in support of Rooney whenever possible...a tactic they pulled off very well. A Chelsea fan talking about anyone else being ungracious in defeat really takes the biscuit though. Sir Alex may (quite rightly after yesterday) harangue the officials, but to the best of my knowledge nobody has yet sent the referee death threats and forced him into retirement.. Oh, and you do know that if the referee adds on 4 minutes of injury time, but two goals and a substitution are made during that period, then it is perfectly reasonable to add on another few minutes, don't you? Don't you???

@ ian, no they dont... thayre chelsea fabs, whaddya expect?
10.11.2009 06:15
i must say man u was not in best.........they are really missing RONALDO........man u always got lucky as they always score goals in last minutes of the game........in last season they are far behind liverpool in league table........but scoring late goals(most of them are lucky goals) make them to top the league........anywayz i m saying all this bcoz they got lucky all bcoz of attacking opponent team.......this season in few games only man u is attacking......most of the time man u is struggling to get the ball.......match against man city was the only game i thnk in which man u is playing like last season........so this season no chance for man u.............

@bamford............it was john terry.........
10.11.2009 13:45
@ian.....substitution doesn't mean that refree should add 3-4 minutes to xtra time...........it should add some seconds......may be 20-25 seconds..........
10.11.2009 14:07
@ankur, in extra time, the exact stoppage time has to be added, while the 90 mins stoppages are cut down to 35-40%, and added.... btw, man city players didnt take 20-25 seconds to get substituted. nd btw, we scored in the 6th min. for that, anothr min was added, man city cud hav scored den, bt it was fair...
