AS my interest GOES MARCHING ON ON ON
 
Yuck. That goal looked like a Pro Evolution 8 play.

Rebound after rebound. Chelsea was completely outplayed 99% of the match, again, it looked like i was seeing myself play Pro Evo 8, missing chance after chance, only to get hit in the nuts by a retarded goal.
 
United should be winning by at least 2, but that's how it goes, particularly when you play Chelsea for some reason. A pretty exciting half, Scholes is gonna have to be withdrawn within 15 minutes of the second I'd say, unless United are chasing the game, can't risk going down to 10 men. Probably Giggs on, Hargreaves to the centre.

Malouda's touch is truly dreadful.
 
We really should have scored a second with those chances we had. Thats what we get for not taking our chances.

Chelsea are such lucky fucking cunts. Only chelsea could score a goal as shit as that. How many deflections did that take until it got to lampard? They're a bunch of fucking cuntmuppets.
 
Well, I think that the match is now just as Chelsea wants, they will be playing defense now and winning on the 80+ with a penalty or an own goal...
 
Lucky cunts...

Scholes has been relatively absent from the first half (Last 15 mins) or so.

We'll see how it goes second half but I think that Anderson may have to come on fairly soon.
 
I was just going to post how awful Chelsea were when they scored :lol

Malouda is the worst purchase of the season, Joe Cole wasn't in the game at all. Lampard and Ballack were dominated by the Manyoo midfield and Essien can't handle Ronaldo.

Chelsea also looked fairly uninterested.

1-1, there you go.
 
United shouldn't be dispirited though, keep playing like that and the game is theirs for the taking. Just need to make sure they finish their chances.

what a dirty fucking cunt Carvalho is. To his Portugal teammate no less.

Ronaldo is lucky to have his leg in one piece still.
Carvalho's lucky to be on the pitch. Ronaldo could have easily broken his leg.
 
I don't understand how carvalho is still on the pitch. And i hope Ronaldo kicks his ass on their way back to Fontelho where the national team is.

Fucking cunt

he shouldn't be on the pitch anymore.

A high tackle and he clearly knew that he was going to hit him. The only reason Ronaldo's leg isn't in the same state as Eduardo's is that his studs luckily didn't stick to the pitch for too long.
 
It's funny that Chelsea could win the CL and still come out of it with no more fans than before. I can't imagine someone without a team watching this and thinking "Yeah...yeah I think I will start following Chelsea".
 
Have the changed the Nike advert? I don't recall seeing a girl being kissed on a beach before. And I don't think I saw the breast being signed.

Good to see the Champions League thread already run off the rails.
We must speak with Mr. Sinclair about mentioning our haven here.

The first rule of the football thread is that you don't talk about the football thread!
 
Chelsea are doing better this half. I still think United are more likely to score, but they're crowding out United better at the back and creating a few chances.
