I cant believe i'm disappointed after us coming back from 3-0 down, but Chelsea were so hopelessly shite that it really feels like two points dropped.

Historically the hardest fixture of the year. We did get a point, but we also proved that we'll never give up, which I think is worth a lot in itself. City haven't managed to run away and have repeatedly dropped 5 point leads.. if we can get through Liverpool and Tottenham and still be close, I think they'll be nervous as fuck going into the run-in.

Given the performance we were, by far, the better team so should have won. However, being 3 down 5 min after the break i'd have taken a draw. But im really gutted about the draw so maybe it was 2 points dropped |

On the face of it, two points dropped. But there are many games to be played from now until the end of the season and based on the performance in the final 30 minutes, it's a point gained. When it was 3-0, other teams may have submitted and focused on the next match.

No way can we say it's 2 dropped. We lost this fixture numerous times over the years and it looked like we were going to lose again today although the defending was shocking and the scoreline flattered Chelsea it took some real spirit in the lads to conjure up that comeback. Proud of them

A point gained.
Stamford Bridge is a cursed ground for us and with a 0-3 deficit it looked like yet another unlucky defeat. But credit to the players for fighting back against the odds. We should probably have won the game on the balance of play but you can't really complain. We can take so much credit from this result. |

Makes no sense to call it two dropped when we were never ahead
Yes Chelsea are average but we were pretty poor going forward in the first half. We never clicked apart from a couple of moves, Rooney and Young were very rusty, Valencia was never in the game, Giggs was erratic (though came through in the end as usual). Definitely a point gained. A point at the Rent is always a good result, and from 3-0 down with 33 minutes to go it's a fucking great result. |

United bossed that game, it was really there to be won. However coming back from three goals down away from home is immense. Chelsea were rocking at the end though so a little disappointed we didn't win.
IF we win all our games we win the league, so the point is very important. |

We should have done better and won the game full stop, but if we were to come out with just one point this was the best way to go about it. |

I was resigned to probably getting nothing after we went down 2-0, seeing as it's a tough ask at the Bridge, even in this season... Especially if you consider what usually happens when we trail this season.
Getting back from 3 goals down has me high as fuck, it's a point gained for me... And a statement made. |

They were there for the taking today missing so many players and us in good form.
But at 3-0 of course I'd be delighted to take a point. Just got to beat the scousers now. |

Considering I had to walk my dog around the block for 5 minutes just to save myself from throwing a boot through the TV after their third goal went in, I'm just a little bit satisfied that United showed what they're about to get back in it.
The title could go either way, but today is all about appreciating what makes Ferguson's United special, for me anyway |

A draw at Stamford Bridge is a good result.
And we need to remember that City lost there earlier in the season. It's a huge point when you come back from 0-3 down to 3-3 at Chelsea. |

It was a point gained if you consider we were 3 goals down at a point. no doubt about it. that said, we were much the better team and should have won the game. football's a funny game. chelsea being 3-0 up at that time was a fucking joke..

Daft question.
We've not won at Stamford Bridge in the league in 10 years, and were 3 down after 50 minutes. Enormous point for us, and a massive kick in the teeth for city. They'll feel sick as hell watching that. |
