See, I read this and all I can think of is swings and roundabouts again, and for once, its not because I am a peadophile.

I think it would have as it was an easy decision. As soon as he fouled him, and he did, he had to go.

I had to watch the replay twice to actually see any contact. Soft.
I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one. I made my peace with that decision during the game anyway, it was the Torres sending off that drastically changed things.

But you did see it. There is no such thing as a soft red card in that situation. Once there is contact of any sort, it is a sending off.
That was harsh.

Hello
Think it's worth noting that the Hernandez goal wasn't Clattenburg's fault, so really he got one of the two decisions right. Although, the diving issue is not as black and white as people are making out. Contact does not necessarily mean a foul.
Oh, and I think I love Rafael.

Saw the full highlights last night and United really caught some breaks, but there have been games at Stamford Bridge over the last decade where Chelsea have got the decisions in their favour too so it's about time we got some luck at the Bridge.
What's funny is that despite losing our great home record against Spurs, we've beaten Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea away this season which is something we couldn't do last season. If only we were a decent non-shit team and we would have beaten Spurs too. Oh well.

Please, explain.

Equally though, someone going down with minimal or no contact does not automatically mean that they dived.
The difference between diving to get a foul/penalty and diving out of the way of a potentially leg-breaking tackle or due to being off-balance is being increasingly forgotten.

There were decisions made by the referee and assistants that favoured Chelsea, when they played at Stamford Bridge.
2 that come to mind are the penalty given against Carrick after the ball was hit against his hand rather than hand to ball at the end of the 2010 season I think and the 1-0 win when Terry scored from a free-kick given for a legit fair challenge in 2009.

The Carrick one was definitely a penalty. I'm perplexed that he's still playing for Man Utd, such a shit player.
Can't remember the exact tackle leading to Terry's goal but I remember it being Fletcher on Cole. No complaints were heard from my legions of Man Utd supporting friends about that tackle after the game, but a load of nonsense about Drogba being offside was conjured up instead.
So that's maybe one controversial decision against at least five off the top of my head given for Man Utd. Every time I hear a Manchester Utd fan say "It's about time we had some luck against Chelsea", my fucking skin crawls. Just last season Man Utd had two VERY soft penalties (Welbeck diving for one) at Stamford Bridge and two clear offside goals at Old Trafford. You know what happens when Ferguson forgets to pay off the match officials during the week? Just watch the 6-1 City/Utd match and the 3-2 Spurs/Utd match.

Paying off the refs is still probably cheaper than Torres 
Both teams have been favoured by ref's decisions in the past, I think that's the long and short of it.

Gotta love the political correctness/English bias regarding Daniel Sturridge tonight.
"He was hit and miss tonight" would seem to translate to "He was absolutely fucking dire."

Finally seeing what I have been saying for a year, eh?
Some of the shots he took on were diabolical.

Pretty decent game last night overall, thought that the kids at the back did ok for the most part but poor Scotty Wooton just had a few costly rushes of blood to the head and yes, definitely should have been sent off, at least once.
Hernandez V Luiz isn't quite as big as Torres V Vidic, but I love seeing them play against each other.
Mata is excellent and as long as he stays fit and doesn't burn out at the end like Silva, Chelsea will keep up their good run.
Anderson is a pretty good 70 minute player, too bad the game lasts at least 90 minutes. Rafael still seems to remain quite under-rated but he's been one of our more consistent players this season.
Saturday lunch-time should be an interesting game.
