Another very shaky start for United.

I wonder why Hernandez doesn't play more often

Indeed, good result in the end.

But if we start that way on Sun, we will get ripped apart!!!

Exactly, so weak at the back.
Great 3rd goal though, fantastic cross

It certainly was interesting.

Finally Utd get a decision at Stamford Bridge.

Torres, lucky to not get straight red on Cleverly. Unlucky to get 2nd yellow. but hey hoe.

Little Pea offside? maybe? but after recent years, balances up!

Oh and...

Ashley Cole was spotted in ASDA looking at a map of Spain - he's still trying to figure out where Valencia is

Just saw the highlights on MOTD2 - great result. Ref got a battering on Radio 5 live, but it wasn't a bad as they made out. Torres definitely tumbled regardless of a touch - he was not forced over, he dived. Should have been sent off for the Cleverly challenge earlier. The off-side was off-side, but the human eye is only so fast and the linesman could not have spotted it 100%.

It'll be interesting to see what comes of the Chelsea complaint about the ref using innapropriate language. Funny they didn't mention their fans throwing objects on the pitch.

Good win.

Torres should not have been on the pitch after his challenge on Cleverly.
I think the ref was OK, can't wait to hear what this so called racism outcome will be.
I hope Chelsea are heavily fined over the actions of their scummy fans

Good win for United none the less

Did hear a rumour that he said to Ramires after Torres was sent off "your not winning today" don't know how true because I heard that from a fellow Chelsea fan.

P.S how did Rooney make the Ballon d'or

Did honest John tell him?

And even as a Utd fan I have no idea how he made it on that list

Going well so far. Although Chelsea look very dangerous every time they have the ball.

Ok, we lost this one but thought the young lads looked pretty good considering they faced a much stronger side, did well to get to ET, shame about the idiots in the crowd, looks like Chelsea are in the poo again for racist behaviour of one of their fans doing a monkey sign, though the sign by the man u fans saying "Chelsea, against racism since sunday" made me laugh

Can't see Wootton getting another chance anytime soon

Anyway - I'll take the weekend win over that loss any time

Dont be too hard on Wooton, he and Keane have looked capable at the back.

Good set of results today

Time for Rooney to let RVP take the pens.

In defence, RVP didn't do so well last time he took one.
He has been a fantastic addition to the squad though.

Anyway, good result, I think Arsenal got off light with United only scoring the two, should have been a lot more.

Why the bloody hell are we shipping so many goals? Ok the defence has had injuries and we're still missing the big Serb but I'd have thunk we had enough cover in Smalling and Evans with Ferdinand to cope?

Reminds me of 99-00 season when we just out scored everyone (95F/45A)

Just back United to win 3-2 every week, we'd be quids in.

At the end of the day we're top, didn't expect that earler in the season so I'll gladly take it

The Wee Pea looks back to his best with devastating movement in the box, Welbeck aint going to be seeing to much play time at present.

We could do with another Schmeichel right now.

However, RVP has been a fantastic asset, along with young Hernandez

Norwich were very impressive at the back today. I've realised how poor and inept Welbeck really is. What an awful player he is.

Maybe Chelsea should buy Norwich's back four...Chelsea's was shocking today.
