I'm not trying to wind anyone up especially united fans but in during the chelea and manchester united game it's interesting to think that after two men sent off in the 68th minute and with united putting on an extra striker in Hernandez the only goal they managed to scored after that was offside and even after that when Chelsea where on the attack united still never managed to didnt score!
It could be luck but I thought even after going two men down Chelsea still looked resilient. They spreaded themselves out well and I think they're going to win the league and win it by a large margin.
Thoughts please.
Chelsea!!

United would have scored if the goal was disallowed, they just kept the ball as Chelsea had 9 men.... Plus how bad was valenicas finish???? United had 15 minutes and prior the goal Chelsea were just getting swamped!

Maybe united would have scored, maybe not.
But I do agree Chelsea will win the league, but not by the type of margin you suggest, as it will definitely be a close run thing with city, and no matter what you think of the comparative quality at united, compared to those two, they wont be far behind either.

Hope you are correct and Chelsea win the league,and with 11 men,we will give Man U a game at OT.

Tactics of the teams change specially when you are up and its the last 10-15 minutes. Hard to say whether we would or would not have scored if the goals was correctly given offside. But I have no doubt there would have been much more pressure and no manager would like to come out with a draw playing against 9 men. We took it easy because we did not want to make a mistake becoming too attacking. Chelsea were taking chances with their defence and could have hit us on the counter.
