Cheating Chelsea and poor referee does for United...

A Kick in the Grass 08 November @ 03:46 PM EST
So then United eventually went on to lose in West London, but with many a Red fearing the worst prior to kick-off (and that was before we learnt that the champions would be without the first-choice centre-back pairing of Vidic and Ferdinand) an unlucky one-nil defeat was a much better outcome than many would have been expecting.

Chelsea is banned from doing business?

English Premier league 22 October @ 08:45 AM EST
