Won CL QF First Leg - Chelsea Vs Manchester United

One of Carrick's best games for a LONG time. I've given him more than enough abuse over the last couple of years but he was great tonight. Fair play to him.

Great stuff.

Good stuff mate. Laugh at those Chelsea mugs. Glory supporters the lot of them

LOL hell yea! It got crazy when they appealed for that penalty..pulling their hair off their heads and stuff lol...and yes...you can tell they haven't been chelsea fans for than a couple of years!

Agreed... you take out your best hit man and you leave Torres in who has been cold as ice... Somethings up there... I feel like Abramovich is talking into some device that plays into an earplug in Ancelottis ear during the game... I guess they're thinking in the past Torres has done well against united, but so has Drogba... I would've left Drogba in the game if I were them, but I'm not them so f*** them!!!!

Excellent result but its still only half time.I was disappointed with our performance in the 2nd half though,we sat off them a bit and were lucky not to concede at the end.I thought we would have scored again if we attacked a bit more.Hope Rafael is not seriously hurt,what was Evra at? very dodgey all through the game.Roo was our main man again.

How can chelsea complain about decisions after the sh*t they have gotton away with.rio was the best player and he took no sh*t from torres.torres should have been sent off for diving twice.well worth the result and left them sour too.everyone was good in truth tonight.we will take them at OT now.AWWW YEAHHHH!!!!
I liked the viva john terry banner.quality

Come on Torres is deadly when he's on form. No wonder they bought him, money no object any team would have taken him. He's taking time to fit in, he's playing with a team that plays a different style that he's used to. He's trying a bit too hard and resorting to cheating which isn't good, but he's been playing with a side that's been regressing over the last few years. He'll find his feet and he'll be a fearful player to play against once he is. I don't know if he does fit with Chelsea yet, but I'm sure when he does find his place, then anyone has to worry about him

Rio was slightly rusty but that's ok... He should be back to norm in no time... I'm surprised Torres didn't receive the the first time he dove when Rio scooped him up.... F****** actor.

Rio looked like he never left! The guy stood out in defence more than anyone else IMO

I agree. Rio didn't look rusty at all

Rio was magnificent, should have twatted the lady boy torres for diving, time we had some luck as well, fully deserve the win tonight, Carrick had an excellent game, his pass for the goal was just breath taking, and a great finish, finally we win at the bridge.

giggs kicking the corner flag was funny, anyone got GIF image for that and one of that rooney back flick to carrick?

He def did his thing but he was "slightly" rusty in my opinion.

Rio wasn't abit rusty at all? He was class all night and one of our best players tonight. Absoulte class act

IMO your opinion is way off. What was 'rusty' about his game in particular? He was class....great composure

great result - united can now freshen the team for fulham and rest key players for tuesday - so many players to choose from - now i just hope rafael is ok and that rooney escapes with just a one match ban or even no ban when its announced thursday morning after 10 am

I think rio was extra motivated for tonight against scum terry after the england contraversy.rio is class.

Rio wins the battle, we will send them packing again with them crying all the way back to London

The lack of a sense of irony on this Chelsea forum is hilarious:

:rofl:

On the point of Rio aswell, Smalling's been great when he's played, but when Rio came in today just showed what a huge step up of class he is. Brings confidence to the whole back 4.
