Carvalho's been lucky lucky today. That's a clumsy foul in each half that's been overlooked.

I liked the Keane slow-mo though, telling Webb that if it wasn't a penalty then he should have booked Keane.

Meh 2-0. Disappointing.

Still, 12 points from 18 is groovy having played three of the big teams.....

Wait, a bad Howard Webb penalty decision leading to Tottenham conceding>!>!>

[stokeriño]

I honestly cannot remember who was previously winning between Howard Webb and Rob Styles in my eternal Which Referee Is The Biggest Cock battle, but that probably clears it up for another week at least.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Tottenham really haven't been 3-0 bad. Corluka was defending that well just unlucky where the ball went.

[stokeriño]

What the fuck happened there? Bassong tackles one player to the ground, play on. Tackles another player, play on. Chelsea in on goal - oh wait, now it's a freekick.

Fuck off, Webb.

[alldaws1]

Shocking that Webb didn't let Lampard play on there. Could be 4-0, probably will be shortly.

[stokeriño]

Mmm, handball in the box. I can't say that cancels out the previous missed penalty because a penalty at 1-0 down does not equal a penalty at 3-0 up, but in some ways it's nice to know that Webb is being shit all over the pitch.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Bassong looks like he's broken his neck or something. That impact was horrible.

Now all four centre backs are out injured and if this is as serious as it looks Bassong is screwed.

[alldaws1]

From how his head hit the floor I would guess it's a concussion, hopefully there's no neck damage there. I remember Corluka having the neck brace/stretcher treatment last season but he was back for the next game so here's hoping it's all just a precaution.

[IAceI]

Will be largely caution. He was moving but looked in pain as he went off so he's conscious and it's not badly damaged it would seem, can't see him having a long lay off anyways. Good player Bassong as well, sold that arm drag brilliantly too.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ugh Cole just ran straight to block Crouch too. Very sneaky but a penalty wouldn't have made a difference now....

[stokeriño]

Fabio Borini!

...I honestly have no idea who this kid is.

[IAceI]

Haha they're loving the whole "All British Scorers" at the Utd/City match aren't they ¬_¬

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I stand by my belief that Spurs were ok. Chelsea edged a pretty balanced first half with the goal in a 45 that could easily have been 3-3, or 3-2 or whatever to either team.

Then Ledley goes off injured, then the penalty error, then an immediate goal while Spurs are reorganizing...

Then the good work from Drogba and the good tackle from Corluka with the unlucky bounce...and that's it.

It feels weird to have lost it by such a margin.

Tottenham played ok and I still have confidence for a very good season. I think most teams will lose away at Chelsea this season. Burnley at home next needs to be a win though.

[IAceI]

Try trying to work out how you can dominate Burnley and look like you might post double digits on the scoreline. Only to be undone by David fucking Nugent and his invisible lips.

It's a weird world is football.

[FireDoughnut]

Great picture. Great, great picture.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Great picture.

[The Future]

That is magnificent!.

[stokeriño]

I don't really understand what the numbers mean...maybe because I'm not familiar with stopwatches...so I don't get it.

[Darloboy]

What the hell happened? I turned it off after Bellamy scored, thought that was it, then I just see on Sky Sports Live Center that Owen has scored in the SIXTH minute of injury time? THE HELL? Even as a United fan, I've no clue how there was that much time added.

I take back everything I said in my last post

Edit - And Stok, it was more out of anger and two shocking defensive mistakes. I'm an idiot, enough said.

lol

"A score draw?! We're fucking shit. Ferdinand you joke. I'm turning it off. What, we scored? YESSSSS BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED"

I've never seen anyone encapsulate everything that is shit about glory supporters into one human being as well as you do.

[Clawson]

Fucking typical added time bullshit to help United win a game.
