Another bad moment for Sanchez, who gave Chelsea panic when they needed reassurance from their goalkeeper.

Chelsea’s ability to find new and ever more creative ways to shoot themselves in the foot at Old Trafford really is remarkable

I might be known for doing web or JS stuff, but did you know to mix things up, I'm giving a 15min talk at webdevconf.com on "how to fix a gameboy"…because we all need a bloody break from stupid computers.

I'm sure there's much more clever talks, but tickets are just £100 in October. So come along.
