This is pure heaven and l bet Fergie squirming now.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

And wellbeck dived for 2nd penalty..shocker..but I guess expected. 3-2

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Robbed by the ref again at Stamford bridge...Should have had a penalty and Cahill sent off in the first half but can't complain too much after being 3-0 down...

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

l thought Mr Webb was your 12th man in the second half.:D

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Also we saw at the end why de gea will be a top class keeper, he just needs the confidence which will come in time

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Remember he is still very young and a couple of years down the road l suspect he will be a much more rounded keeper.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

:rofl: Nah, probably wasn't a penalty, but it wasn't a dive. It was more that Wellbeck tripped up over his foot. ;)

I bet you wouldn't have said no to the penalty? ;)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I was delighted by this result, at the end of this season Chelsea will be looking for another manager.

Chelsea might be a great side, but they were showed how to play football by a United side not playing on full power.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Hope you don't mean like Tommy Lawrence.:D

You could also say that Webb was Chelski's 12th man in the first half. ;)

I don't think Wellbeck dived although it was a 'borderline' decision, He is rather ungainly and rarely beats defenders by superfast feet, he generally stumbles past them and is really quite good at staying upright when it matters.:)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

first I don't think of of these claims were penalties.

The Cahill one started outside the box and Cahill missed the ball by less than a centremetre. Usual case of the commentators saying if he touched the ball it's not a pen. With there being no foul and the intent clearly being to play the ball but missing by the smallest margin, how on earth can you give a penalty. Surely a penalty should be there for a foul but if you are going for the ball then that can't be a foul. It's another case of a defender going for the ball and the attacker making sure there is contact and falling ove

The Evra one was just a coming together of legs, again no real foul or intent to stop the attacker playing the ball.

The third one was the attacker making sure he left his leg behind and bringing about the contacted.

Still don't think DGG is good enough for us. Yes he made a good save but then most keepers are good shot stoppers of the ball. His overall game was still poor, tried to punch the ball far to often and was lucky his punch from long range near the end of the match went over the ball, it could have easily ended up in the path of the Chelsea player. He still can't deal with corners or crosses and needs a lot of work to get used to the EPL. One save doesn't mean he's good enough for us yet

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

The first one that was not given which you fail to mention was a definite penalty, you can see from the camera angle behind Howard Webb that the number 18 on the United players shirt is being pulled off his back.:(

I make it one certain pen, two 50/50 and one very suspect ( the Cahill one) add them all up and that makes two penalties so perhaps Webb got it right after all.:D

Jim.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

i'll have to watch the shirt pull one again on MOTD to comment on that one as I want to see it again. Never really sure if a shirt pull should be a pen anyway, i've seen before players can stand up and use strength and other times they fall over

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I'm not impressed with the amount of back-slapping United are giving themselves over this. It seems they are happy with the never-say-die attitude which git them the draw. Ok respect to that but real champions would have played with that fire from the start.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I think Man City and Man U will be either 1st or 2nd and Tottenham Hotspur will be and Chelsea, Newcastle United, Arsenal and Liverpool all fighting to be 4th or 5th!

This is a joke, The FA are a joke. They have overblown this like its a murder trial and if Capello goes I wont be sitting watching the hilarious joke of a team named the English National team at the European championship. I'm not a fan of Capello but I hate it when Managers cant speak there mind. He's not an FA puppet or a yes man. It's about time these executives at the FA were replaced by people with proper knowledge of Football. Bobby Charlton would be an ideal top man.

Too right.
