Fletcher has scored twice for us this season already. He was a far better player than Berbatov who looked like he was more interested in keeping his hair in place. I was really disappointed with his lack of enthusiasm and drive. You took the words out of my mouth Ahmed. Fletcher has scored twice for us this season already.

Sid’s still up to his old tricks, eh?

Fletcher ( the CURRENT lousiest player in Man Utd ) was allowed to play a full game!!! Whole game would have changed if we substituted him off instead of Pak Ji Sung. What does SAF see in him??? Though he did score goals in earlier matches, overall is hopeless black hole in Man United. Cant pass cant shoot cant score cant dribble cant oversee cant judge cant lead So what can he do? Think you forgot one more observation.

Cant pass
cant shoot
cant score
cant dribble
cant oversee
cant judge
cant lead
So what can he do?

Ronaldo's booking was not justified. and although they did deserve most of the cards i believe a non bias ref would of handled it better. Gallas usually acts like that and it did dishearten me to see ferdinand acting like him. But I still it could of been handled better. Easiest way is to not let Riley ref our games anymore. I admit that most of those cards were deserved and the reactions of rooney and ferdinand were bad but only because of riley. 1st time I saw ferdinand react that way.

Each yellow was deserved. The biggest mistake I saw was Drogba's phantom foul on Neville by the near touchline. How was Riley in any way unfair? Each yellow was deserved.

We all know how much he doesnt like United and if you dont then you must not watch any United games. Everytime he refs against us you can tell he is biased. All the players know that and thats why they didnt show any respect. He gave Ronaldo a card for waving his finger at him. The audience can tell how he is and thats just bad. Everytime I see him I know it is going to cost us. I want to kick his ugly face in. I dont get it, out of all the teams, Chelsea players love to complain. Especially in big matches, and yet in this one they didnt do anything, and it is not because they were trying to show "respect". Mainly because they didnt need to do anything. Can't United just put in a request to not have him as an official. Especially against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. He has a vendetta. Im not saying this because im a united fan as I watch other games and if I noticed this for other teams then I would sympathize. Like if I noticed Arsenal had a ref that was biased I would be saying the exact same for them, it is totally unfair. This is B/S, why do the FA give us Riley to ref our game against Chelsea.

I guess that means everyone agrees about 4 red cards then. Fair enough. What about failing to play injury time? Last season people were making no end of excuses to say it was a "minimum" of x minutes for injury time for United, but here Riley failed to play the minimum. And Rio's assault on Drogba went unpunished. Red card, every day on every pitch in every league in the world. But Ferdinand lost his head numerous times again (after kicking a steward last season) yet no-one's talking about his surliness and unworthiness of being captain of anything. The guy's a loose cannon and needs some banning time to think about what he's like. Riley bottled giving the red cards United deserved. 7 cards should've been nearer 10, with players going off when they break the laws of the game. That's what they're for and the ref's are there to carry them out. Last week we had a ref very keen to make up laws that don't exist. Now we see them refusing to carry out laws that do exist. Refs are in disarray this year, being told what to do by Sky Sports. I read one defence for Hargreaves and no argument against the rest. I guess that means everyone agrees about 4 red cards then.
