12th Fixture - November 8, 2009 - Chelsea FC vs. Manchester United FC

I swear it's a time honored tradition that every few years or so ScumUnited player must kick someone right square in the chest. The rags call that "Proper Football".

 

United should have had a penalty for the JT/Valencia incident. I think that's pretty clear.

A lot of people are saying Fletcher won the ball on our free kick leading to the goal. Well... no he didn't. The ball brushed against him as it went past his foot. He didn't win it in any way shape or form. He also went straight through Ashley Cole. It's a foul.

Drogba was not in an offside position, so active/inactive is irrelevant. He did pull Brown's arm a bit but please? He went down like a small child.

And ya know... Evans.

 

Correct answer. The referee actually did see this as well. I am sure the young gobshite Evans was frustrated - his team were losing after all - and Carv was time wasting. However, you are not allowed to just kick a players legs away because you are feeling petulant and upset. Straight red for Evans.

Un-fecking-believable refereeing - he clearly didn't see the incident and yet was somehow able to award a yellow. . .

 

Drogba 'seizing' on the ground was quite funny actually. The officiating wasn't the best, but it's Man United so hey, who cares?

 

Yeah, as I said. You know your board.

 

It's Drogba for me

 

I thought Drogba was our worst. It's like he forgot how to pass the ball taking shots whenever he could no matter how impossible of an angle he was at.

As for Rooney, he had a good "youtube" game where he seemed threatening, but we had him boxed out good.

 

Yesterday was one of those days we live for as Chelsea fans (and neutrals who hate MU):

Evans boot to Drogba's chest should convince some people that DD does take a physical pounding that usually goes unseen. Most of Evans behaviour on the pitch shows he fits right in at "The Religion".

WR was at his whinging best. When we get under his skin like that, he only lacks a baby's cap (which my imagination amply provides). He would have thrown his dummy at the camera, but he'd thrown it out the pram long before the final whistle.

Sir Alex Puffsandstrutsalot bashed the referee and (no surprise) will receive absolutely no punishment.

Fletcher totally lost his rag and by the end was just a screaming incoherent joke.

A great game.

 

In most countries, that is referred to as assault and you can expect to do time in jail.

 

Ancelloti doesn't speak up for players like Jose Mourinho would

 

I think that is perhaps my one criticism of CA, from a neutral standpoint... well almost neutral, it seems from what i gather, that being a top flight coach in the prem you have to fight a war of words, to ensure refs make calls in your favor down the line. Maybe it's because he lacks a touch of confidence in his english to slam a ref or play mind games with other teams managers. But he doesn't do it. And that may be the reason that no News Orgs are picking up on the Jonny Cantona on Drogba.

But aside from that CA is about as good as Manager alive IMO.

 

Ancelotti is keeping quiet for the most part and it's working out just fine for him. The players seem to enjoy playing for him and that's all that matters. We have an experienced squad that doesn't need to be protected from the media or Sir Alex or whoever. He's not Jose and as long as he is getting results he doesn't have to be anything like him for me.

 

I actually think by not saying anything it makes it more obvious how much of a jackass SAF is being at the moment with his criticism of the refs.

 

Evans should be doing time in jail

That is where Butch Wilkins comes in. He can speak for the gaffer more effectively. You saw this after Drogba was assaulted by that young punk Evans, who I am sure has been enshrined into manure lore. I was watching the highlights again & I started to get pissed after watching Vidic laughing at Drogba laying on the ground. I hate to type this, but I am going to start rooting for Sperz in hope they can pass manure in the standings. I really hate manure & I can't believe anything Chelsea did could condone the actions of Evans against the Blues. The guy was uncontrollable & something should be done about this

 

Re: Evans should be doing time in jail

When i think of Vidic...Neo-Natzi comes to mind

 

Re: Evans should be doing time in jail

The Scot felt the free-kick from which John Terry scored the winner should not have been awarded, and that Wes Brown was fouled as it went in.

"You lose faith in refereeing, that's the way the players see it," he said.

Y'see, it's not HIM that's having a go at the ref and calling them shit. He's just reporting what the players are saying... it's not his fault.

Jesus, could he BE any more lame?

Yep, that's a big plus too

 

Re: Evans should be doing time in jail

Fox News uses the exact same technique.
