Just a week after the widely publicised ‘Kick It Out’ campaign, a Chelsea fan at last nights match was stupid enough to aim a monkey gesture at Danny Welbeck. Chelsea fans really are the worst fans in the land, last week they threw bits of chairs at their own stewards and they also booed Rio Ferdinand because his brother was racially abused.
6,000 reds travelled to Stamford Bridge last night, and from the first minute till the last they never stopped singing. Some very creative banners were also taken along, with one reading ‘Referee, leader, legend’ and another reading ‘Chelsea: Standing up to racism since Sunday’.
Yesterday United did something they didn’t do once last season, they showed that fighting spirit and that belief that they are never beaten till the end. Coming from 2-1 down with just five minutes to play, they ended up winning the game 3-2 thanks to a special hat trick from Robin van Persie.
Our Premier League opener vs. Everton was always going to be extremely tough, and that’s exactly how it proved. All credit to Everton last night, they thoroughly deserved their 1-0 win. Fellaini bossed the midfield single-handedly, he was a threat up top, too. Michael Carrick at centre half proved to be our downfall.
Our Premier League campaign gets underway in a tricky away fixture vs. Everton tonight. With our fans trying to guess at a possible lineup for the last few weeks, our first line-up of the season is finally confirmed. New signing RVP starts on the bench, Michael Carrick starts at centre back alongside Nemanja Vidic.
Manchester United left it late but two late goals ensures they take a five point lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League

Manchester United will look to capitalise on another slip-up from neighbours Manchester City, Blackburn seemed to be on the way to safety but all the teams around them won this weekend, so points here is a must for both teams.
