Change of topic? We can talk about the game all ya want . End of the day Chelsea never showed up and STILL 3-0 flattered you. We didnt take our chances and most our squad dont seem bothered nowadays yet you never realy looked liked you played to well yourselfs.

As for your supporters, thres to much to say but to be honest after being a chelsea supporter for a looooong time im grateful that as many glory hunters as we have stowing away inside the bridge there isnt half as many than at old trafford (the huge majourity travelled in from London) and even at 3-0 your fans where silent throughout most of the game. Which shocked me cos even at silent SB we manage to make noice in the big games. On the journey home all yor supporters could talk about in proper conversations where tropheys and stuff and seemed the most plastic set of supporters ive spoken to. Claiming they would rather win games at any cost than play any form of attractive football and also couldnt tell you why they supported united when in all honesty it was probably the "easy" choice when growing up. In all honesty im not to bothered about the result as like i said we didnt turn up and ive been through the "hard times" as a chelsea supporter i just expected more from a visit to old trafford.Hopefully the "historic" anfield wont dissapoint.

Just so you know im not accusing neone here of being that kind of supporter cos i get sick of all chelsea fans being labeled it but you got a big problem with them thats for sure. Pesonally i think itd be intresting if you went on a 4-5 year drought like arsenal and then see how often you see these "united" fans.

Oh and also i was DISGUSTED at people chanting Jose mourinho when we where 2-0 down. Disgraceful and alot of our fans knew it to. Shame were being infested with the glory supporters. Infact you heard it here first id rather we got rid of these people than be the win win win crouds at old trafford.

i dont remember you really having any chances but whatever, if u defend like that, united will put a few goals past ya....

anyway, ye old trafford is known for being quit but you don't get an idea of the noise level of the home fans when your in the middle of the away section.....i remember i was at the leaugue cup final in the arsenal section, arsenal vs chelsea (dont ask why) the arsenal fans were pretty noise but i seriously did not hear any noise from the chelsea fans the whole game, speaking to my mate who was in the chelsea section afterwards, he said the exact opposite....so i dno..

Sorry i must of missed your post bro, Neway alot of that game we was in your final third (we didnt create proper chances and you ended up winning fair enough. But as said we didnt show up so thats the reason in was disapointed with the preformance not the fact we lost. If im honest i think if most united fans asked themselves thatd be the reason they where happy with the result because when both teams show up its always a close call.

The "loud" factor though isnt a issue in old traford because the 5 mins or so when everyone was loud the stadium is build acousticly well alot better than the bridge is at least. As said we havent got the loudest of home support but we def wouldnt sit silent through a big match like that. I know what you mean though its the same at Wembley very poor stadium to be honest.

i was at old trafford for Manu-Arsenal last year

amazing match great atmosphere(mostly because of the stretford end)

that match imo won us the league

Killa, you're a chelsea fan, thus explaing why your post was incredibly biased.

Liverpool won 2-0

a strange game, involving a red card that never was, and also a Chelsea player ploughing his studs into a Liverpool players back, and nothing being done about it.

over-all Liverpool were the better team. i don't remember Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina having to make a single save.

(extract from bbc football news below) UNBIASED!

Fernando Torres struck two late goals at Anfield to sink Chelsea and ensure Liverpool kept up the pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester United.
The game looked destined for the draw that would have suited only Sir Alex Ferguson until Torres made his dramatic intervention to close the gap on United to two points, although Liverpool have played a game more.
Chelsea saw Frank Lampard sent off on the hour for a foul on Xabi Alonso, a decision they contested bitterly as they claimed he took the ball first before making contact with the Liverpool midfield man.
But they can have no serious complaints about the result after Liverpool dominated throughout, taking the game to Chelsea in a game played out in freezing conditions.
Torres broke the deadlock a minute from time when he headed in a near-post cross from Fabio Aurelio, then set the seal on the win in stoppage time with a simple finish after substitute Yossi Benayoun had robbed Ashley Cole.
Anfield was ecstatic at the final whistle, with recent traumas seemingly forgotten and hopes of a first title since 1990 revived again.

Chelsea now face a massive task to rebuild their challenge and on this evidence there must doubts about whether they have the desire to perform the task.
They have picked up only one point this season in five games against their closest title rivals, with Liverpool completing a double over the Londoners.
Liverpool were the hungrier side from the first whistle, with Chelsea keeper Petr Cech saving well from Alonso and Benayoun and Alex performing heroics in defence to keep Rafael Benitez’s side at bay.
For manager Benitez, with owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett looking on, it was a crucial victory and one the Spaniard and Liverpool needed desperately to over-shadow the off-the-field politics that have proved such a distraction in recent times.
Liverpool, as expected, did not even include Robbie Keane on the bench – only intensifying speculation that his short and unfulfilling Anfield career is drawing to a close.
Chelsea keeper Cech was swiftly in the action, acrobatically turning over a rising 25-yard drive from Alonso as Liverpool made the more forceful opening.
Cech was less convincing after 18 minutes when he fumbled a routine shot from Javier Mascherano, but no Liverpool player was in the vicinity to take advantage of his moment of poor handling.
Chelsea’s best performers were all in defence, and Alex came to the rescue with a crucial block on Torres after he worked an opening in the penalty area.

Scolari bemused by Lampard red card

Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side were fortunate to escape four minutes before the interval when Cech saved well from Albert Riera, with the rebound striking Cole and rolling inches wide.
Liverpool had hardly been sparkling, but at least they had shown the attacking intent, while Chelsea had offered nothing in the way of threat to keeper Pepe Reina.
That same pattern resumed after the break, with Dirk Kuyt hooking an effort off target after Gerrard’s corner found him unmarked at the far post, and Alex then made another vital intervention to halt Torres.
Old enemies Lampard and Alonso were involved in a flashpoint on the hour that saw Chelsea’s England midfield sent off.
Lampard challenged with his studs up and referee Mike Riley had no hesitation in brandishing the red card.
It was a moment laced with irony, as prior to the game Lampard had spoken of a lingering feud with Alonso following an incident in January 2005 when Spaniard suffered a broken ankle after a tackle from the Chelsea midfielder.

Torres strikes please Benitez

After receiving medical attention Alonso almost added insult to Chelsea’s perceived injury eight minutes later when he saw a shot deflected off Alex on to the bar.
Scolari decided it was time for a change, sending on Deco and Didier Drogba for the anonymous Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka.
It led to Chelsea’s first serious effort on target with 16 minutes from time, a tame shot from Salomon Kalou that was comfortably collected by Reina.
Liverpool were still doing all the pressing, however, and Cech had to be at his best to turn away a curling 25-yard drive from substitute Benayoun.
The Israeli midfielder then sent a searing volley inches over as Liverpool set themselves up for one last big effort to break Chelsea’s resolute rearguard.
The breakthrough came two minutes from time when Torres glided in Aurelio’s cross – then turned into an empty net after Cole was caught in possession by the lively Benayoun.
The Israeli international was involved in bizarre incident near the end of the game when Bosingwa put his studs high on the back of Benayoun, pushing the Liverpool midfielder off the pitch, but the Chelsea defender escaped punishment.
Liverpool merited the three points and continue their pursuit of United, but for Chelsea the title race may now be run.

and now, lets have a look at the stats shall we..?

Liverpool - Chelsea

Possession
54% 46%
Shots at goal
21 - 4
Shots on target
15 - 1
Shots off target
6 - 3
Corners
12 - 1
Fouls
20 - 15

so Killa, you're wrong. this did NOT have draw written all over it. we played better than you did for the time you have 11 men anyway. and you only managed one shot on target, ONE, and it was a soft shot straight into the keepers hands.

LIVERPOOL DESERVED TO WIN, and that's exactly what we did. stop being a sore loser.

Rafa benitez in disguise

these are the facts



ronaldo is coming back into form finally

rooney and evra will be back very shortly

its all gravy
