Absolutely awesome game!
Fantastic atmosphere and a brilliant result, easily one of the best games between two English clubs I've seen in a long time. Dead chuffed United fan here

So long as you ignore the constant diving, the pushing and shoving, the slapping, the hassling of the ref etc. etc. it was brilliant

That game showed just how good, but also how bad the English game has become. I'm a huge Chelsea fan but it's disgusting how the players surround the referee all the time. |

I didn't watch the game as I assumed it would be dull - looks like I ****ed up there
Did Drogba spend half the match on his back having tripped over fresh air as usual? Looking forward to tonights excitement

It was a great match Stan, really really good.
Drogba is nowhere near as much of a diver as he used to be but once you get that reputation it's very hard to get rid of. He did prove a point to Rafa Benitez in the 2nd leg og the match against Liverpool. When he scored he ran half the length of the pitch before celebrating which he did by diving to the ground right in front of the Liverpool bench. He got his red card for slapping (tapping more like) one of the Liverpool players on the cheek during one of the many times when the Chelsea players had surrounded the ref. |

He must have had long arms to slap a Liverpool player Didier "Stretch" Drogba

I don't really follow English football that much and don't see many games but I've seen two Chelsea games this season and in both of them, Drogba's diving was atrocious. I always think it's a shame when really talented players feel they have to resort to diving to win games, I'd rather they relied on their talent instead.
I'm a Celtic fan and I used to get really annoyed at Stilian Petrov. He was one of the most talented players at Celtic for a long time but he used to really **** me off with his diving antics.

Not a great fan of either side but I did want Chelsea to win, for London support.
Great game depite the poor refereee. 25% of Man Utds success is based on either dodgy or biased refereeing and this match wasn't much different. I did feel sorry for John Terry.. but Analeka was really bothered wasn't he haha

Come on you say that like other teams never have a dodgy decision go their way.
GET THE **** IN! I was so chuffed last night, shed a tear I then went to the local pub for a quick pint. Sadly the beer was awful, but hey ho. |
