    De Gea yet again earning his corn. Best Utd goalkeeper since Gary Bailey.

    Well with a dozen or so games to go we have lretty much secired a lower than top 4 finish. It seems even the board are not moronic enough to look past Mourinho.

    Yeah he's rubbish. Wouldn't be sad to see him out the door with van Gaal

    Called 1-1, but in truth I'm very disappointed to lose that. Far the better team over the course of the game

    He might still come good. The problem is he came into the club with far too much ego and too much "the next Ronaldo" bull about him. Scoring a boatload in the Dutch league isn't gonna cut it in the PL and everyone just assumed it would, especially him. Coupled with the fact that Martial, Lingard and even Mata have done better on the wings, he won't get a look in. He's been massively disappointing and can pretty much only rely on an injury to Martial/Lingard for a way back into the side. He needs to write this season off and start again.

    He's going to be on the wing for Crystal Palace in 2 years, having the occasional good game.

    1-1 is about fair, unfortunately. We bossed the game up until Lingard scored that beauty, then we were terrible for the last 30 minutes. Disappointing to drop 2 points, and 6 points behind City means top 4 is more than likely gone.

    Wonder if Mourinho is still interested if we're not in the CL?

    Vital point for Chelsea - moves them further away from the bottom 3...

    Hope Zouma is alright. The screams from him were horrible, especially when you consider he's a big strong lad. Must've been agony.

    No chance. There's a player in there, somewhere.

    I think I'm actually pleased that we missed out on him. ;)

    He had the better of him in the last minute too. Luckily de Gea was on hand to prevent a last minute winner.

    Gutted, thought we played well but you have to close the game out.

    Top 4 looking tough, next week the top 4 all play each other and we play Sunderland, need to get 3 points next week or I genuinely do think we are out of the running, leaving only Europa as our final hope

    Funny that. Less than 9 months ago you were all for him signing. Again forgive me if I don't take anything you say too seriously.
