Chelsea penalty beats the Mancs. Fergie furious, yellow cards all over the place. United not very chuffed.

i'd lost touch with the title race, thought united had it near enough sealed. clearly not

tricky home tie v west ham next week, but it looks a much easier fixture than Chelsea's trip to a resurgent newcastle
United are hopefully going to send wigan down last game (i can dream i know) whilst chelsea hopefully won't be sending us down

Which would mean that Wigan would have to lose today, and they're playing........

The Slur is a moron. If Gallas' was handball at Old Toilet a few weeks ago, then that one was as well. I personally thought they were both handball. Chelsea deserved their win today, although it'll all be for nothing. :(

Manchester United players were involved in a post-match scuffle with Chelsea staff after their fiery 2-1 defeat.

Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Ji-Sung Park and Paul Scholes were warming down at Stamford Bridge when they were asked to move by groundstaff, sparking a row.

Chelsea say they will look at CCTV footage before deciding on any action.

Meanwhile, United's Rio Ferdinand apologised to a steward after accidently kicking her following Michael Ballack's late penalty winner.

Ferdinand lashed out at a brick wall as he walked off the pitch but also made contact with a female steward.

"Unfortunately, a lady was stood by and I accidentally brushed her with my foot. I apologised profusely and went back to make sure she was OK," he said.

We will be studying the relevant CCTV and camera footage

Chelsea spokesman

"I have arranged for a bouquet of flowers to be sent to her.

"Credit to her, she laughed it off and was very understanding. She said she wasn't hurt."

MEN quoted: "Ronaldo comfortably won his personal battle with Messi." Not sure how that works, because he did f-all while Messi was running rings round the United defence. Talk about clouded vision, ain't in it.

This is the single reason that I reserve an unusual amount of bile for that lot down the road.

Their all-pervading limitless supply of arrogance.

Greatest club in the world? One lucky European Cup in an era when they've got more resources than the rest put together suggests they ain't "all that"

No, you're thinking of Arsenal. They play the best football ever and had the title won in December. Don't you remember?

would have really helped us in our own quest for survival that utd boxed this off today but still can't help raise a smile when you see the manner in which they take defeat, kicking the sh*t out of female stewards? :conf:

gotta say for such a great manager (and he is), ferguson makes some odd tactical decisions at times

This reminded me, didn't Rio also smash the ball into a spectator's face at OT when reacting to a decision. IIRC that was also a female who got splatted in the mush, a sheepish Rio then had to go and apologise. So does this mean that for a professional footballer he has a rubbish aim if twice he's tried to aim for a wall and missed. Or he doesn't like women????!!!!!

He's a bit rubbish, and a bit thick. How do you miss a wall?
