I can't remember that. Who won the title that season?

Chelsea did, they won that match 2-1 and the title race was all but over. Rooney injured his ankle in a CL match vs Bayern and missed that match.

Fletcher scored with his hand I think. The Drogba goal was at least a yard offside.

An offside goal for (what I assume, from your post) a handball goal is a fair trade.

It's not though. It doesn't really work like that. The Drogba goal came at about 75/80 mins and made it 2-0, so by that point Man Utd had to just go for it and do whatever.

If it was the goal to make it 1-0 then yeah, but football matches are about momentum.

It's like saying the Lampard disallowed goal vs Germany didn't really matter because we lost 4-1 and it would've just made it 4-2, but if you saw the game that incident was a pivotal moment in the match. England had to go out in the second half chasing the game and attack, all that happened was they left themselves exposed on the counter.

Aye, fair enough. You make a good point.

Christian Benteke goal of the season.

That is a goal that says "I am too good for this team"

Does seem like he's losing it a bit now.

I love Jose. We need characters like that in the Premier League. He is a bad loser though, no question about that.

Both Manchester teams lost in Europe tonight. English football is piss poor at the moment, even if it is the richest in the world.

Arsenal lost in Europe too. Can't remember the last time an English team did well against a quality team from the continent.

We f*cking suck. Pathetic management from Wenger.
