    Making Chelsea look like Pikey Rovers here. Awesome!

    I wish they'd a competitive game against Barca coming up - it would be very different from May!

    And no - I'm not a fan - I'm totally neutral!

    No I wouldnt say so as yet, maybe in a couple a seasons when the younger end players have a bit more time to mature it will be, but the way their scoring goals for fun some will think so and who can blame them....

    They were superb, but I thought Chelsea played very well and with different breaks it could have been a very different result. Great game to watch for the neutrals - I'm almost starting to enjoy watching the premier league again these last few weeks.

    I'd say so....once this great Barca side has broken up and Man Utd get a few more European Cups under their belt Liverpool will have to take 90% of their flags down.

    'Anti English manager' that has brought through more English players that have played at the top level than any other.

    I couldn't understand that comment, maybe he means the arguments he's had with Capello over releasing players etc..

    This isn't exclusive to Fergie; I think they all have arguments with Capello about releasing players.

    Strange game to watch and then profess that they are the best ever. Chelsea should have beat them, look at all the chances they should have scored, Ramires, Torres x2.

    That Torres miss should have resulted in a goal being taken off them so the real score should have been 3-0. Sithi.

    Berbatov miss, Rooney penalty miss.

    Those chances came when Chelsea were chasing the game, would / could have been different.

    You mean "chasing the game" because Man Utd were already 3 up? Oh yes, if Man Utd hadn't been 3 up at half time it would have been a different game! Of course it could have been different, any game could have been different. Yep, that's football.

    United didn't deserve to be 3 up on balance of play. 2 possible offsides and a lucky rebound straight to Rodney. Chelsea deserved more, i was impressed by how they played. That said. United look so clinical. Half time 3 shots, 3 on target, 3 goals

    Liverpool were a fantastic team with great players but haven't won the league since the backpass was banned - lots of their attacks started with a pass back to the keeper
