Well, like a said in the vB thread. We aren't going to win the title with shocking performances against lowly teams, Eg. Wigan.

I mean, come on, 3-1. We can do better than that. Obi Mikel and Bosingwa were hopeless. Cole was just relying on Cech to do the work once they get past him. Terry was solid though, but he'd hate for those 2 goals in particular to go through. Nothing we could do once Cech got sent off.

I can't believe Chelsea not only lost to Wigan, but lost so badly! Nice surprise though to see the highlights on MoTD and equally nice to see us go top (first time this season?) albeit by virtue of one goal.

Haha, had to love last night. Sitting on the couch enjoying our 6-1 win whilst checking live scores online and seeing Wigan 3-1 Chelsea

Well the Chelsea game was over after Cech was sent off. But Wigan played well, really well. Should have got one between Essien and Mikel off instead of Malouda. Anyways this result means Liverpool might face a backlash.

Nah, you'll probably trip over each other.

Now, come on Sir Alex. We were lucky to get out of that with a point - you're just making yourself look a bit daft complaining about no time being added on for the goal. Sunderland were very good, and we looked very tired - we still could've grabbed all three points in the dying seconds. Our passing was especially woeful. Well played Sunderland; Brucie's doing a great job with them.

Hopefully, these two playing now will draw as well (Chelsea/Liverpool), so no real damage done, but an opportunity to get some clear space between us would've been lost.

Why wasn't Carrick playing - he had his best game for a long while against Wolfsburg? Also, where the feck was Giggs?

we just go our arse kicked by chelsea. We didn't look like scoring @ all. terrible proformance from the boys. that's our title gone for this year

Which is why he was right to complain. Unfortunately, we suffered because of a decision that rightly went our way a few weeks back.

There was no celebration. How much more time do you want? Anyway, Vermaelen is a God.

 

[Dr. Pepper]

Foster had another bad game, not looking good for him. We gave the ball away way too much. It was a poor performance and we didn't deserve the point. We have to do much better. A lucky draw at home to Sunderland is not good enough.

 

[sd92]

Since when has a draw resulted in 3 points?

I suppose there wasn't long, but at a guess I'd say there was 30 seconds in between it going in and starting again. Only played 4 minutes and 2 seconds. Wouldn't have probably made much difference in the end, but I think refs will want to make it obvious we're not getting an advantage.

No need to panic from yesterday, results like that happen in any season.

That's just what I was thinking.

We need Van der Sar back ASAP - Foster's making too many mistakes and the defence isn't feeling secure as a result.

True enough.
