good performance though.
keep it up reds!

Bit like the first half of the game a few weeks ago that. Here's hoping the second half isn't the same either.

shit i was hoping for this to be wrapped up by the first half

Very similar to the league game, however in the league game Chelsea came out with £#%&! all to lose and went for it with the ref in a blue shirt, away goals makes it a different situation tonight.

United can get more goals here, Nani on 2nd half will be a big sub.

I am absolutely gutted.................9 bokuls of apple juice is not going to be

enough. I am sweating like a cornered virgin

I do wish park would stop over running the ball though.

yep - almost expected it

another one early in the second would do very nicely. otherwise i can see the @#%&!s turning it round

Going to be a squeaky 45 minutes to come. Think I'd better empty my underwear now.

Rooney and Carrick have been truly outstanding first half.

Easily the best we've played this year. Great tempo.

Please, more.

look at that midfield dominating away at chelsea

seriously, valencia has made such a difference, gives an option for the pass, almost never loses possession, pins back the full back.

rio, rooney and especially carrick have been superb. brilliant to see carrick in this kind of form again.

superb tactics from fergie, evra is getting exposed against bosingwa but it looks like park has been told to stay up the pitch and we've broken down our left several times and made a few really good chances, including the goal.

Typical Chelsea - game not going their way = cheating.

Disgusting @#%&!s.We really should be putting these to bed, we're so much better.Be gutted if we dont win this.

Painful to watch games like this.
We're playing very well...but you just £#%&!ing KNOW they're gonna get something, either through brute force or a set piece (probably Pen)

Rooney's been £#%&!ing magnificent. Great player.
Carrick's played well & it's great to have Rio back too.

We need to get Valencia on the ball as much as possible. Get him running at Cole.

We just need a touch more cutting edge to our play
Come on lads ffs....

My sister, 42, no link, just called Adrian Chiles a fat 'bomba clat'?

the chelsea end was already bouncing as evra cleared it

Already we're seeing the benefit of a UEFA ref. Chelsea just aren't getting away with niggly fouls they usually do. Some top performances here. Rio is so so good, Rooney is buzzing and Carrick has been superb. . . . BUT we must not sit back and do what we did in the game last month. We've got into positions like this before and blown it. More of the same and be wary of getting dispossessed in our own half. We've diced with death on that one a little.

Please don't £#%&! it up like the league game lads, none of that cagey sit back and defend the lead %@#$&!s. We can kill this tie off tonight if we keep this up
