Not difficult. :smile:

I thought MUFC looked reasonable tonight. Zlatan making the difference.
Yes. It's good to see him putting a shift in too. Defending, and not just sitting up front in all his stardom. Wouldn't expect anything other of him, tbh. It's good to see Utd with some physical presence - Zlatan, Pogba, Bailey, Fellaini and Tony V. All too much missing even under SAF.

Yes - they have some hefty players in the team now. Very imposing in the box. Top two for MUFC in my book this season.

On a side note I wish Sky would tone down the MUFC gush-fest though. God, I can't stand Tyler.

Things are looking markedly improved. All hail the special one :notworthy:

Hmmm... remember that relationship years ago when love was in the air and all seemed right in the world but then it all turned turtle and you cannot stand the thought of your former beloved...

... that's me with Jose.

Devastated Chelsea last season and we'll be a couple of years in recovery now.

MUFC are welcome to the 'self-obsessed one' with the amazing Teflon coated suit when it comes to taking the blame for absolutely anything that goes wrong.

I truly cannot stand him any more despite his amazing tactical nous and his previous success with us.

By Christ Mike Dean is having a bad day with penalty shouts - not the in box tousle one though, that really does need jumping on.

Also loads of back chat and arguing with the Ref' in this match and not one Diego Costa style yellow - how very odd.

I'm all for the new rules but let's have them consistently applied please.

Decent result for Chelsea after a pretty toothless first 70 minutes. Final 20+5 we were all over Watford.

Let's clear up the 'Costa thing' - again!

Prefaced with Chelsea should've had a pen' with a clear hand ball - not one pundit/channel disputing that as far as I can see.

Costa - clear dive (stupid and I can't stand that sort of thing) and should've got a second yellow.

However, his first was for back chatting the Ref' which is ok for me under the new rules although a yellow seems a tad harsh (let's have some Sin Bins for minor offences please) but why did the Watford player (cannot remember his name) not get booked in the first half when he eye balled the ref' from 4' away and clearly said "for *ucks sake" questioning the decision to give a foul against Watford.

New season, new rules - please let's be consistent.
