Fernando Torres

Torres starts and I reckon that hands the title to the Scum, for old time sakes he should drop himself to give chelski a chance.

Then you better not watch.

Then you better not watch.

Don't need to watch it to cry, 1 particular scumbag will jump about infront of me until we win number 19. I might end up killing him. You have no idea how bad it will be. He's banging on about winning 19,4, everytime I see him.

That Luiz video is brilliant.

[Red_Polo]

Really? Just comes across as a bit of a manchild.

Anyone else feel like there is not a chance in hell that Chelsea are going to win this game? They were pathetic in the CL against them and will be the same here.

That's how I'm going into it. Obviously Chelsea could win, quite feasibly, but I'm sharing your bleak negativity. With Webb on United's side we all know how it'll pan out.

I have no idea why Chelsea havent come out full throttle and just completely heaped all the pressure on Webb, in the run up to this game. If it were me, i'd have said something about it in the media every day this week

And then slate Jose for doing similar?

[Craig_H]

When have i slated him for mind games?

After the game, all the **** recently has been too much, but i see nothing wrong in pointing out the obvious re Webb in the run up to the game, and putting pressure on him to not gift anything to the mancs.

It is pretty obvious of how it'll pan out.

perhaps this of all games is where webb tries to prove he's not a manc.

who knows. babel's tweet might have lasting effect... could be the most constructive thing he ever did for us.

This defies belief

Sir Alex Ferguson welcomes appointment of Howard Webb for Chelsea game

• 'He's definitely the best referee in the country,' says Ferguson
• Webb has given United three penalties in last four home games

Sir Alex Ferguson has gone against the Football Association's guidelines not to talk about referees before matches by welcoming Howard Webb's appointment to Manchester United's match against Chelsea and speaking of his hope that "it's our turn for a little bit of luck" from the officials.

As part of the FA's Respect campaign, managers are not supposed to discuss referees in the buildup to games. However, Ferguson believes his side have been the victim of some poor decisions in their recent matches against Chelsea and was open about his concerns that it might happen again. "That's definitely our big fear, to be honest with you. Other than that, we have the players to do it all right."

Webb has awarded United a penalty in three of the past four games he has officiated at Old Trafford and Ferguson made a point of talking up the Yorkshireman. "He's definitely the best referee in the country, there's no doubt about that. We are getting the best referee and we hope it's our turn for a little bit of luck."

The United manager is still aggrieved about Martin Atkinson's performance when the sides met at Stamford Bridge in March, Chelsea coming from a goal down to win 2-1 on a night when Ferguson felt refereeing decisions had swung the game in favour of the champions.

Ferguson was subsequently banned from the touchline for five matches after castigating Atkinson in a post-match interview, saying he should never have been appointed because the occasion had demanded a "fair" referee.

"The result against us was a change for them [Chelsea]," he said. "We all know the circumstances of that game. That game gave them their lift, from being out of the game to winning it. And, of course, us losing on Sunday has opened the door for them."
