At the end of the day its only about how many goals you score. And It was unfortunately Hazard vs United and not Chelsea vs United. Had it been the latter we would have won.

why were you the better team? Did you have better chances? Because I don't think so

Don't know they probably think keeping the ball more and doing nothing with it means they deserve it more or something.

Either way the butthurt is massive in these last couple of pages you could tell straight away after one would mention a foul on Falcao before goal, but ignore De Gea handball.

As Henry (or was it Redknapp?) said it evens out.

If you hadn't watched the game and just saw the result and the posts here, you'd have imagined that Courtois was MoM and that we suffered a barrage and managed to get away with it.

Man Utd didn't do anything significant this game either.

As I have said earlier, its pointless. Expected these sort of comments now that they have won it. Sure sure, go on celebrate.
Butthurt ?? Nah. Knew the result when the lineups came out. So was mentally prepared for it. Knew we would get Mourinho'd and it exactly was what happened.

And were you mentioning the ddg handball in the 1st half. Watch the replay in that case.

We bossed you despite a makeshift lineup due to a barrage of critical injuries. A win is a win is a win. But a club the size of Chelsea playing Pulis stuff at home is embarrassing. All I can tell you Chelsea fans is enjoy your turgid football every week.

jesus wept mate. have you not seen the hoof ball to fellaini you played for most of this season.

Strange no mention of Herrera dive either? Poor one tbh, but he must still be learning from Young.

Teams With Most Yellow Cards For Diving in 2014-2015

1 Chelsea 4 (Ivanovic, Fabregas, Costa,Cahill)
2 Sunderland 2
3 Manchester City 2 (Nasri, Milner)
4 Burnley 2
5 West Brom 1

So.. better luck next time.

pretty sure Jumanji got one too this season, was that in the cup then?

Abramovich wrote:Strange no mention of Herrera dive either? Poor one tbh, but he must still be learning from Young.

Cahill clipped him but that won't stop you sensationalizing it despite Ivan et al going down like they'd been shot numerous times will it. Much more legitimate penalty than the one Fabregas won a couple of weeks ago.

Hapless_Hans wrote:pretty sure Jumanji got one too this season, was that in the cup then?

I think it was in PL. But the important point is, the champions of England are leading that pack. Only wanted to point out that.

Got those stats from a twitter user, he would have ignored names from the bottom of that list in which United would have been there now that he is butthurt. And if thats the case we would have 2 now. But still lol that doesnt lessen the fact that the blues have 4. Mourinho's team indeed.

he has more yellow cards for diving than he does goals.

People getting all worked up over a meaningless match when the big news is that Leicester have now won three straight and could pull off a great escape

van Gaal after the match calling out the reporter for asking him rhetoricals

No surprise. They did horrendous business in January. Everyone and their mom could see they needed another CF.

Bournemouth conceded a last minute equalizer after taking the lead with 10 men. They fall to second place, Watford is now on top.

Unreal.

Watford should have promotion in the bag now, I think their last two games were Brighton away and Sheff W home (can't be bothered to check again).

It was a penalty, too, that Bournemouth conceded in injury time to only draw the match, imagine if those two dropped points end up being the reason they didn't get promoted

I hope Bournemouth and Watford take the automatic promotion spots because they are the two best attacking sides in the Championship. Really don't wanna see any garbage ultra defensive oriented teams coming up.

Bournemouth has unreal attack, They could have scored 2-3 in the first 15mins in the league cup tie we played against them.

hoping Aitor Karanka's Boro get promoted.

Really happy for Leicester, I hope they stay up this season.

You won't be so happy when they beat us in our game in hand in a week and a half (which you just know they will)

You know they wont have Bamford next season right.

It's intriguing how years spent in the cash-rich Premier League - and the parashoot payments when relegated - seem to help so little when you go down. Wolverhampton got relegated to League One in their first year in the Championship and now Wigan look set to get relegated after two seasons in the Championship. Fulham and Reading are finishing near the bottom. Norwich are the only club among the promotion-chasers who have recently been enjoying the Prem's riches. Yet normally in every league it's the clubs with the most money that are manning the top spots. Doesn't seem to apply to the Championship.

You need grit, steel and unreal squad depth to play 2 games a week throughout the season in the Championship. Technical attributes wont cut it.
