it's a mystical bond between man and machine

damn Carvalho. his second-half header gave Chelsea a precious point from Old Trafford as leaders Utd were prevented from going 6 pts clear of the league. but the build-up play to Saha's goal at the half-hour was great as Rooney delivered a fine through pass up to Saha, who had Terry and Carvalho tricked as he switched the ball to his left foot and curled a wonderful left-footed shot past Carvalho and the diving Cudicini. however Chelsea had a few shots on target as well, as Van Der Sar saved a powerful long-ranged shot from Geremi and a relatively weaker effort from Lampard. it should still be noted that Saha the scorer, had two other close chances which unfortunately didn't end up in goals as he was unable to get a good touch. sadly, in the 70th minute, Carvalho's header brought Chelski level 1-1. he rose above Heinze who was probably too short, to meet with Lampard's corner and on-the-line Saha was unable to knock it away. but funnily enough it seemed that Saha's intervention caused Carvalho to score. somehow his header took the ball away from Van Der Sar, who would likely have been able to save.

and Mourinho is a cheating scum who decided to take off Ballack for Paulo Ferreira in the 2nd minute of stoppage time. otherwise i wonder. could the result have been turned in favour of the hosts?
