    It's ok, LVG says he decided he didnt want the 3 pts anyway. He was never interested in the 3 pts. They weren't the right kind 3 pts United need <ok>

    Pedro assist for the 2nd goal?

    Yea Pedro assist. Goal was a bit flukey, so was the assist deflecting of the defender. However liking his technical ability and just his all round play. Might be worth pickingup in FF!

    Deflected goal and a terrible shot turned in by Costa.

    Too expensive on FF already Bobby, how much will he be after today <laugh>

    Yeh the guy is absolute quality. Worst case scenario it will take the rest of the prem the whole season to figure him out. More likely scenario is he'll have a very good career in the prem.

    Haha exactly the way I see it, those 3 points were definitely no good to us!

    He has looked good but not as good as the stats would suggest. Plenty of luck to get the goal and 'assist' which was an off target shot

    Courtouis got a saved penalty for you though!.

    Nothing lucky about Pedros silky skills setting up Willian. Willian missing an absolute sitter!

    The stats dont but the rest of his performance does. How many chances has he created and others have not taken advantage of.

    yea think you get like 5 point for a pen save. If they miss outright it don't count but Courtous saved it.

    Pedro looking every bit the player i said, hard working and decent!

    BBC website

    Cesc Fabregas chips a harmless looking ball to Costa, who outmuscles Gareth MacAuley on the edge of the area and chests down to Cesar Azpilicueta. The full-back hits it first time into the bottom left-hand corner for his first ever Premier League goal.


    More like Costa goes down looking for a penalty and ball hits his chest, just be honest bbc and say it how it is

    Aye. <ok> that is why these pundits know as much football as the average fan.

    Ball hits the chest and runs to the LB who has taken a gamble fair play to him. How can we trust the beeb to give a good objective commentary?

    I'm glad we didn't get Pedro. I got sick of 25 years of free flowing, exciting attacking football and all those great goals we scored.

    I'm looking forward to a season of grinding out 1-0 wins and conceding as few goals as possible. Or better yet some beautiful 0-0 draws where neither goals even comes under a hint of threat.

    Just call me Jose from now on <ok>

    Shame they couldn't get that lead out of Terry's legs, eh?

    I guess it'll be a £60m bid for Stones from FFPsea on Monday.

    It's three games in. Settle down! Patterns are formed over the season, not after 7 points from 9. Yes Pedro has a great debut today. But the fact remains that United need a 25 goal forward, not another midfielder at this point in time. Overall, Chelsea needed Pedro more than United.
