Uncharitable Shield


For 90 minutes on Sunday night, we were treated to good football. Free flow and maybe at times we saw players being human afterall with their lack of match fitness showing from time to time. Players like O'Shea,Lampard and Drogba( to name a few) did not look sharp and were coming in and out of he game

The referee chris foy foiled what would have been a good game. He foiled it. Double standards were shown when ManUtd were breaking and he stopped play to attend to an injured Michael Ballack and did not do the same when Evra was clearly fouled by Ballack himself. Terrible. I wouldnt disagree that Man Utd's second goal was offside but to me it was justice served for such terrible refereeing.Ferguson furious and rightly so. Ancelotti calm as ever and Evra steps up and its Chelsea's Shield

Evra has had a tough pre-season but his lack of assists and goals in his time in United seem to be affecting him. After all, his defending is very effective for United but Ferguson would need his wing backs to contribute more in attack with the loss of Ronaldo. It is probably why Evra has been asked to take penalties in the last 2 games and his terrible misses vs Huangzhao Greentown did not help.

DId Chelsea deserve it? Did United deserve it? I think a draw was a fair result but Chelsea may have won this battle but the war is very much still on
