And Liverpool are already 2-1 up at half time against West Ham after Zamora opened the scoring with his fourth goal of the season and Aggar and good old Crouchie scored for 'Pool.
Good Morning, I am here.
I will be following United on manutd.com and watching Spurs Everton.
I will be sitting at this computer for quite a while.
I'll be with you, watching Spurs and following the scores online. Good to have you, Davey!
When do your lot play?
I don't see them on the fixture list
We're up Sunday morning. It was originally scheduled for today but was moved back because of the mid-week fixtures.
So, Liverpool have picked up their first win of the season against the Hammers. 2-1 victory with Crouchie's goal winning it. Let's hope he's on the scoresheet next weekend too.
against who?
Wednesday away - local derby. It's on at the same time as the Villa match. 1:15 kickoff. BTW, we drew Barnet in the Second Round of the Carling Cup - not a bad one.
Meanwhile, Cardiff have picked up an impressive win against Brum and are currently top of the Coke with 13 points from five matches.
I'll be cheering on ManYoo today - I hate Watford. They're total Route 1 merchants. Can't wait to see the backside of those wankers.
I saw that. I don't like Cardiff.
I am sure you feel the same with Risedale at the helm.
Looks like another late kickoff for FSC - they're really pushing up against the 10 a.m. kickoff time these days. The preview show just went off.
Did you catch Fox Football Fone-in? I was down in Gville and KC didn't manage to tape it for me, so I missed it. They don't seem to be replaying it much, whereas FC Fox is on every bloody day. To say nothing of the infomercials - sheesh!
I'm trying to take a Zen Buddhist attitude toward those who have ruined Leeds, include Ridsdale. I never blamed him - or O'Leary - entirely for what happened. It was a bad confluence of events that brought us down.
I did see a lot of it. It was pretty good. At least there was that stupid set in the pub.
I agree with FSC. I am pissed that they have dropped Skysportsnews this weekend. I always watch it and it isn't on Saturday or Sunday because of USL(?)
United just kicked off. Still line ups on FSC
Watford just had a chance. Oh dear.
It'll be good to get a look at some of the England squad members today including Dawson, Jenas, Lennon and Andy Johnson.
I've never liked watching matches from White Hart Lane. The camera angle is weirdly high up. They must have a really big stand on that side of the pitch. It's almost a bird's eye view of the pitch.
It's not that big of a stand. I went for a tour of WHL when I took a soccer team over to England in 1990
Davids looks like he is wearing hiking boots
Why is the camera so bloody high up then? I feel like a bloody pigeon watching this.
Come on, United! I notice you lot are starting with Saha and Ole up front. They're not going to win you the championship. Where the Roon?
He is banned for the Charlton, Watford and Spurs game all because of that elbow. HE and WE GOT SCREWED!!!
Scholes is banned for the same games
Edgar has always been a flash bastard. He started wearing those goggles when he had a face injury and just kept wearing them. I reckon he's got prescription goggles at this point. What's wrong with contacts?
No wonder Spurs sold you Carrick! With Jenas and Davids already on the books, how many bloody defensive midfielders does one side need?
I say bring back Ossie Ardiles and his 2-3-5 formation!
Oh right, that is balls. How can you ban a player for getting sent off in a pre-season friendly?
I am bummed here. The radio from Manutd.com isn't coming in. It cut off after about a minute!!!
And that elbow in Amsterdam was nothing compared with that Thatcher elbow during the week. Did you see that? That was attempted homocide! I see that Football 365 are selling t-shirts now that say "Ban Thatcher for Life!"
You can get minute by minute text of the United match by going to football365.com, clicking on the "Live Scores" link and then clicking again on the United link.
Oh dear, Skippy's just missed a sitter for you lot. I bet there were some catcalls after that!
United have scored!!!!!
Silvestre
Well done, Mickey! It did sound as if you were putting Watford under the cosh.
Long may it continue
And you lot have opened up a four point lead at the top of Prem. That's got to feel good. You usually start slowing and then strangle the opposition in the spring.
I am a very happy chappy.
Again, long may it continue
Norwich are one-up against Barnsley. They've had a good start. I thought they looked good on the opening day against us and we were lucky to get a result.
Are you listening to anything?
I am trying to listen to man utd but something is up with it today. I am going to try to listen to Sky or talksport.
Everton aren't bad, you know. Nice build-up play.
Wow, sky is working. I haven't had it work for weeks. I have heard from you that this show is great to watch. It is fun to listen to.
Nah, I'm just watching and listening to the Spurs-Everton commentary. I can't handle that much stimulation.
What kind of defending was that!!! Classic.
A wallop off his own crossbar.
Ooh, dear what a calamity for Everton. That one would've made the blooper reels.
And Colchester have taken the lead vs. Derby. That would give them their first points in the Coke.
Colchester are two up against Derby
Slow start today. United have the only goal in the Prem
What do you make of the new FIFA directive to keep playing when a player is down? I'm not keen on it.
Ooh, Kevin Kilbane was a lucky boy there.
And Norwich are now 2-0 up. Well done, the Canaries!
I like it. The players are taking advantage. There is to much diving and then rolling around. Players have started to stay down to stop a counter attack.
Spurs goal against the Arse last season was completly ok but Arsenal just complained. The Gunner went down with fault from Spurs and went to goal. WHY SHOULD THE GAME STOP!!
Finally Kilbane is off! He might have gone a moment ago and he didn't learn his lesson.
I don't know what the color guy is on about - that was a criminal hack from behind and he went straight through the player a moment ago and didn't even get a card for that one. Well deserved second yellow.
His first challenge was never a yellow but he should have never have made a challenge. There was plenty of cover
Bloody hell, Watford have scored
Sorry mate.
Oh be quite.... you're not sorry at all. In fact, take that bloody smile off your face
Finally a goal in the prem away from Vicarage Road.
Wigan are one up
Bugger! I've got a soft spot for Reading. They lost in mid-week against Villa and now are behind again. It could easily go pear-shaped for them if Stevie Coppell doesn't get them right.
No really; I'm backing United today. I bloody HATE Watford. They did us in the Qualifying Final last year and they're bloody negative. I'd love to see you spank them badly today.
Stunning, I am going to save that line. Bob Dahgren rooting for the right United.
Sotton are one up against Preston
Now Colchester and Norwich have been pegged back by a goal from their respective opponents.
Now the goals are flying in - Fulham are one up against the Blades. Good stuff! I hate them too!
Half time: 0-0 Spurs and Everton. Not the best match so far. Looking forward to the Arse next.
Finally, the radio on manutd.com is working. I have been so frustrated.
Some early goals in the second half. Colchester have increased their lead against Derby to 3-1 and Wolves have taken the lead.
Yeah, it must be frustrating not ever having a chance to see your side on the telly. Welcome to my world, Dave!
oooh, Watford just missed a sitter
BTW, they will be showing the ManYoo-Spurs match on 9/9 live.
I know, but their next match against Spurs is on. GIGGS JUST SCORED!! I am sure that the Arsenal match is Sunday match is as well
Well done, Giggsy!
Everton up while playing with ten
Own goal
Oh dear, what a disastrous own goal from Davenport. At least it wasn't Dawson. Spurs are one down.
Looks like Berbatov is coming out - he's been anonymous for Spurs today and they've got plenty to spare on the bench.
just noticed that Palace are losing at home
Have you heard that some of the builders on the Emirates Stadium project were Spurs fans and that they buried some Spurs shirts and scarves under the pitch? Nice one!
Yeah, good stuff. Go on, Burnley!
I did see that. Classic
Cannaries are 3-1 up
I think that the Emirates Stadium hoodoo for the Arse has more to do with the bigger pitch than the buried Spurs paraphernalia, though. It'll take them a while to get used to it. Reminds me of that season that they played the Champs League matches at Wembley.
Useless by Jenas. I really don't see what everyone sees in him. He is hopeless
Colchester are four one up.
Another goal for Everton!!!
We've only got ten men, we've only got ten men.
Great goal from Johnson. Let's have some of that for England, Andy!
I agree with you about Jenas. He had some promise when he was a kid at Newcastle, but he's really gone off the boil the last couple of seasons.
Bugger, Everton have cut our lead in the league to two
And now the Canaries are 4-1 up!
Bolton have had a penalty saved at Charlton
Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink has scored the go ahead goal for Celtic.
That has to be the greatest name. I saw that Celtic put the whole thing(except Jan) on the shirt
Canaries have scored a fifth
Charlton have scored their penalty
What on earth is going on down at Carrow Road - they're running riot!
I want another United goal please
Mark VanBommel is joining Bayern Munich. Does that mean Hargreaves is on the way to OT?
Yeah, I reckon you are going to get Hargreaves. Pretty outrageous bit of tapping up, though, don't you think?
And I here you'll get Carlos Tevez in January after the Brazilian season is over. Maybe I'll have to revise my predictions.
both teams are playing with ten men at the valley
I don't want to hear any chances. You picked us out of the top four!!! When is the last time we finished outside the top three? It has never happened in the Prem
I know, I know, but you didn't do much biz in the summer apart from Carrick who I don't rate. But I had no idea that you were tapping up Hargreaves. BTW, why do you need him if you've got Carrick?
Ten minutes to go... come on Utd
Palace have equalized again against Burnley and it's now 4-2 at Colchester. What a ding dong!
Hello....tapping up....any comments, Dave? Pointed deducted....hello...hello?
Cambridge are losing two nil at home to Halifax. They may get relegated to same division as Cambridge City. What a demise
I really don't understand why Spurs are this bad? On paper, they've got a tasty side. Any ideas why they aren't better?
I agree but it has been Hargreaves that has opened up everything. How about Real and Bayern discussing Ruud? Same thing
I don't understand either. Maybe because you picked them for the top four!!!!
Not as many goals as last week but still a goal in every game.
Four minutes from 9 points
Absolutely, I'd have deducted points from Real and Bayern over that and for Chelski for the whole Cashley Cole saga.
Fifa have to sort it out. It's approaching a player directly while they're still under contract is illegal, then they should take some action. But to let the big sides get away with it again and again is just not right.
Ipswich had a good away win last night.
They went one down to QPR in the second half but then had a dodgy penalty a couple minutes later and scored two more. About time to get their first win.
The united radio station just said Bayern still want Owen. He is replacing BOLLOCKS
Another England squad member - Darren Bent - is on the scoresheet today. Good news and some tricky choices for McClaren next week. Who would you start up front? I'd be tempted to play three strikers against Andorra, with perhaps Crouch and Bent in the middle and Andy Johnson wide left where he's been drifting today.
Well, don't start the punishment with United.
Bugger, Saha should have just wrapped it up
I'm not entirely sure that Owen will ever come back to his original form, sadly. Too many major injuries.
You still haven't answered the question of why United need two defensive midfielders.
Sounds good with your England front line. It won't happen though. Of course, why do we need a defensive midfielder against Andorrra.
Bugger, four minutes of injury time at Vicarage
Defoe should've scored there.
As for Carrick and Hargreaves, we need the depth in midfield.
Colchester 4 Derby 3
Wow - a seven goal thriller!
Everton have won it - I did not expect that result, especially after the Kilbane sending off.
Everton have won at the Lane for the first time since 1985. They won the league that year.
28 seconds left at vicarage.
UNITED HAVE WON!!!!!
9 out of 9
Now, come on Citeh and Rovers!!!
Another goal for Darren Bent against Bolton - is he staking his claim for next week?
Well done, Dave. I'm going to pass the laptop over to KC for the next two hours or so, but I'll be checking in periodically during the Arsenal match.
Good chatting with you.
Was he in the last squad or did he still have that hand injury?
I will comment at half an full times.
Great to chat.
Arsenal are unbelievable. They pass the ball wondefullly and then they don't bloody shoot!!! They could have had a half dozen. At first, I didn't think it was a penalty but after seeing it again it definitely was.
Come on CITEH!!!
Well, obviously, I am thrilled. Arsenal have NEVER had a problem beating Citeh. They should have won by a canter. All I have to say is long may it contiue.
Same again tomorrow with Rovers and Chelski
I bet you are thrilled. Boy, are Citeh ever modeled after Psycho Pearce, though. Corradi got sent off for an awful lunge last weekend, then there was that horrendous elbow by Ben Thatcher in the week and today they just niggled away the whole match. No excuses for Arsenal not pulling the trigger, but honestly, do we need another Bolton in the Prem?
Today's results reinforce in my mind that this will be a much more competitive Premiership season. I'm sure that Dave thinks ManYoo will run away with it, but let's see what happens when they have to play a team with a bit more quality than Fulham, Charlton or Watford. Early doors, Dave.
I know it is early but... we have NINE POINTS!!!!
If Blackburn get a point tomorrow, THE ARSE would be in the relegation zone!!! If Rovers win then Chelsea will be in the second half of the table. Live is good!!!!
Come on, let me have some fun for a while.
