If Ivanovic and Luiz do get subbed at the half, there's two of Chelsea's 3 subs used on a 1-for-1 defender swap when they need 2 (really, 3) goals in the 2nd half. I am not unhappy.
Manchester United vs. Chelsea

By whom?
I still feel sick!!
No need to fret about the Ivanovic sending off incident, we must beat Chelsea 11 vs 11. Makes it sweeter really for me, Rooney milked it a bit, was not as bad as I thought it was when I had not seen the replay. Lets beat this guys with an upper hand as well, knowing it could have been easier than it was
It's HT and it's the only controversial aspect so far, it will get mentioned.
Pundits and Ancelotti.
Yep. But its strange because Webb isn't normally like that. He sent Gerrard off at OT which killed the game.
Just hope we kick of the second half like the first get a third goal then frustrate the hell out of them.
Ji Sung Park has been exceptional, as a player he has so much in his locker it's unreal. He's hassled them and forced them into errors while being pivotal in our attacking play.
Fantastic player.

You know, if you dont have an iPhone...
True, but it's 2-0 and not 1-0, and we can draw this game. They aren't going to score 3!
Thing is we've played Chelsea 5 times so far including the Community shield and have outclassed them in all those matches, eventhough they won the other league game.
They are an average side and we are showing it. The fact that they are still in the hunt so late on in the season sort of shows how poor our away form has been.

I think trod on is a better description. Stamping indicated intent. There was no intent, just carelessness.
Could easily have been a yellow still.
Ivanovic should be off, how hes been allowed to get away with his shit time after time is incredible, hate to say it but if that was a United player at stamford bridge under Atkinson it would be a different story wouldnt it.
According to two Barcelona fans I know, 'what Rooney did there was worse than Busquets'. Apparently he held his leg in the wrong place. They are living in their own universe, aren't they?
Get a 3rd and send Scholes on. 
They should have added the Chelsea midfield and Ivanovic into that. They've been appalling.
Alex on
Basically he bottled it. Shame, but we should have enough regardless.
Did you see his performance in the WC final?
If the Rooney "foul" was a yellow then Ivanovic was 55 yellows.
Come on!
Let's finish them off!

Luiz and Mikel for Ramires and Alex.
Evans for O'Shea.
Evans for O'Shea.
Couldn't agree more, he's been an absolute monster!
Ivanovic still on
Ivanovic will be subbed - one more foul and he is gone. Ancellotti has to. Luiz will be at RB and Alex in the middle.
Chicha needs to be less offside and also we need to be a bit more composed in playing out and not looking for the quick outlet. They need the ball to score (same as us) - no point gifting them the ball.
