I Would Luv it if we get Three Points, LUV IT!!!


Let's hope that Mr. Ronaldo has a blinder this afternoon.
I am looking for United to get revenge for the Reebok defeat.
I am also looking forward to Spurs knocking off Chelski again.
Join me for Man Utd vs Bolton and Spurs vs Chelsea.
FSC have the game at Old Trafford, COME ON YOU REDS!!!!

1916: Still waiting for full team news from Old Trafford but it seems Sir Alex Ferguson has gone for an attack featuring Ronaldo, Tevez and Saha - but no Rooney. Darren Fletcher is at right-back, while Gerard Pique gets the nod ahead of Patrice Evra...

1913: TEAM NEWS Tottenham v Chelsea
Chelsea include Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Essien and Claude Makelele at the expense of Alex, Michael Ballack and Jon Mikel Obi. Petr Cech isn't ready to return so Carlo Cuducini continues in goal. Tottenham pick the same line-up that started the Carling Cup final.

United's team in full

Kuszczak(surprised it is not Foster)
Pique
Vidic
O'Shea
Fletcher
Ronaldo
Hargreaves
Anderson
Nani
Saha
Tevez

Rooney and Scholes on the bench.

I hope SAF doesn't regret this team.

Wotcher, Dave! I can't share your enthusiasm for the Red Devils this afternoon, but I am with you for the match. Should be an interesting afternoon.

3:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

You can't share my enthusiasm?
Then BUGGER OFF!!!!
This is a Red Devil afternoon!!

Seriously, glad that I have some company. I wonder if Chelskilad will be around or will he be down the Worly.

He did take Mike to the airport this morning as Mike jetted off to Malaysia for Johnny Hates Jazz

3:54 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I dunno, it could be a Chelski Blues afternoon too. You never know. Wouldn't count me chickens quite yet.

Well done, Mike. Hope he enjoys his trip to Southeast Asia as much as I did. I off to less exotic climes tomorrow - Indiana.

Surprisingly, Five Live has the United game and not the Chelsea Spurs game. I know it will be blacked out but still.
I will probably be turning on talksport to hear updates.


Ronaldo is captain.
Seven changes from Saturday.

Pique, Vidic, O'Shea, Hargreaves in the back four.
Not a strong defense!!

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Serie A update.
Milan are two nil down at home after 25 minutes!! Let's hope they don't make the Champions League!!

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

And we are off at OT

4:02 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'm constantly amazed by that free kick that Ronaldo scored. It's more incredible than the strike that Roberto Carlos hit against France in the Tournoi because you could understand the physics of that one. He just hit it sweetly with the outside of his left boot and it swung a hell of a lot because the ball was lightweight. But Ronaldo's - I just don't physically get it. With the way that he struck it, you'd expect that it would have kept rising, but it went up and then down again with pace. I don't get it at all.

4:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It was amazing, did you hear that he hits at the valve so it moves more!!

4:04 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Milan are toast. No Scudetto, no Champs League action. Could be Mourinho will be moving there next season.

4:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody Hell.. Chelski have scored already!!

4:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Drogs with the goal

4:06 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, but that still doesn't account for what the ball did.

Pretty defensive line-up from Avram Grant today.

4:06 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Five minutes gone and no score - disappointed?

4:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelski have a another goal called back for offside

4:08 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Wow, so much for the defensiveness.

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

After Saturday's display, I will take a 1-0

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ronaldo has scored!!!

YOU BEAUTY!!!!

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

FSC are behind the radio, the buggers

4:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

You're obviously ahead of the action there. Scrappy goal there. Bolton look pretty rubbish at the back. Carlito should have scored a minute ago. You'll get more than one tonight.

4:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

32 goals!!!!!

4:11 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Where's Matt Taylor when we need him?

4:13 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Plenty of noise today from the Prawn Sandwich contingent.

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yes, Woodgate has tied it up at WHL

Another Leeds prodigy

4:14 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Good old Woody!

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That's two in two for Woody against Chelski

4:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am glad that Anelka is not playing for Bolton today. Of course, he isn't even on the bench at WHL! Why?

4:18 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Decent chance there for Bolton - were you scared?

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Phew!!!
Good Save!!

4:20 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Because Avram's an idiot.

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on Ron, amaze Dahlgren again!!

4:21 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Here comes Ronaldo with a free kick. Will he hit it on the valve again?

4:21 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Bloody hell!

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

THANK YOU!!!

Were you amazed!!!

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Amazing how that ball moves!!

4:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Same technique again. Okay, I saw a little bit better what he did there. I think that it's the short backlift combined with no follow through. He almost skips at the end of it. If I were still a kiddie, I'd be out in the backyard trying to replicate it.

4:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chelsea have taken the lead again

4:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I am amazed. It takes the keeper right out of it because the keeper has to cover a conventional strike that swings toward the left side a la Beckham and if Ronaldo notices the keeper cheating that way and he can hit it straight up and down like that, the keeper has no chance at all.

4:25 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

From the Beeb,

Five goals in 20 minutes... what the...?

4:26 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Essien with Chelski's second there.

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Long may the keeper have no chance continue

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

2026: That goal means Cristiano Ronaldo equals George Best's 32 goals in 1968 - the best ever mark by a United winger.

4:28 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'd love to see Bolton go down rather than Fulham. They're complete rubbish.

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What's the news on the job front?

4:29 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Is he really a winger though in this current line-up?

4:29 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

It's almost too complicated to discuss. I'm keeping Fredonia waiting until Friday to see if I can scoop up a better offer at Indiana State. It's going to be nailbiting stuff.

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think they will both go down but I agree

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't like what Fulham did to Chris Coleman and brought it Sanchez

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't want you to go to Indiana!!!

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Guthrie has had some good crosses from the right

4:32 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Why is Spitty Diouff getting booed by your lot?

4:33 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Yeah, I know but you're not going to spoon me at night, are you now?

4:33 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Celtic knocked out of the Scottish Cup at home last night by Aberdeen.
Rangers being held at home at half time tonight by Partick Thistle

4:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

El Hadji is an ex Liverpool player.

No, I am not going to spoon you,... EVER

4:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great dribbling by Tevez

4:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Another great run from Tevez, Nani should have hit it first time

4:37 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Gary Megson teams are "no surrender teams." Since when?

4:41 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I know, how many times has his teams been relegated!!

Bolton is getting the ball in the box but not hitting anyone. I hope one doesn't find someone in white accidentally.

4:42 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Some Schumacher action there from the United keeper.

4:43 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Saha is useless tonight

4:44 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Too far out for Ron??? Maybe not

4:44 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He should have shot after that chip

4:45 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on United, don't give away a silly goal before half

4:46 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

oohh, United could have had six in that attack!!

4:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half Time at Old Trafford.

Happy chappy so far!

4:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time in London as well

4:51 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United's Champions League foe is leading in the Rome derby. They are on fire. I am nervous !!

Cashley should have been sent off at WHL

4:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He only got a yellow after a shocking tackle. He had a hisyfit for getting a yellow. Poyet has some words for him in the tunnel.

It was was high and late!!

2051: While I was being horrified by Ashley Cole's attempt to break Alan Hutton's leg, I omitted to tell you that a lovely United passing move ended with John O'Shea volleying wide.

4:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The radio also said that Cashley turned his back on the ref. I would send off someone that did that to me.

4:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice English on the last post Dave!!

4:58 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Milan get a goal back with less than 20 minutes to go

5:01 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Let's just get through this half and concentrate on Liverpool on Sunday.
Since when are they playing games on Sunday and not on Easter Saturday and Easter Monday?

5:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Uh oh, Nicky Hunt is coming on!!!

5:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope that sarky comment doesn't come back and bite me!!

5:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Saha is pants!!!

Free kick chance to United

5:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Too close?

5:07 PM

Nani takes it, nice save

5:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on United.

Bolton are having some possession here

5:12 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'm back - did I miss anything?

Lots of hatred toward Cashley there - are you a Gooner in disguise?

5:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It's not me, it is the Beeb

Not much happening.

Rangers have tied it up

5:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bugger Chelski!! J. Cole has scored Chelski's third.

5:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Phew, that was a nice free kick but they had to wait for the kick.
Thank YOU!!

5:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What is Tevez doing back there? I thought that may have been a pen until I saw the replay

5:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am not liking what I am seeing.
There is that Hunt comment coming back to haunt me. Nice shot and save

5:20 PM

Berba scores for Spurs.
They are back in it!!

5:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

What Hunt comment?

5:23 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

What a cracker at Shite Fart Lane! We should be watching that. This is a foregone conclusion.

5:24 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Frank Worthington - they don't make 'em like him anymore. Fantastic sideburns.

5:25 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Read back.
I don't think this is foregone!! Bolton are scaring me.

Setanta probably have the other one

5:25 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great run by Ron.
How do you back off him all the way into the box

5:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I think I have said this but... Saha is PANTS!!

5:28 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Have some sympathy - I think he's done his hammy.

5:28 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

Why would Nicky Hunt bother you lot, sarky comment or not?

5:29 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

75,000 - that's a load of prawn sandwiches, eh?

5:30 PM

He always does his hammy, groin, shin, toe, ankle...

Who's on the bench for you? Why it's Mr. Potato Head, that's who. Rooooooon!

5:30 PM

United bringing on some iffy subs.

Roon and Scholsey on for Anderson and Pants

5:31 PM

Nice tackle there from Grandpa Scholes!

5:31 PM

Scholes hacks someone down with his first action

Milan have lost. Lovely

5:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Darren Bent is on for Ledley King

5:32 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

2132: Paul Robinson rolls the ball out... to Ashley Cole, who attempts an audacious lob which spins wide. Not sure Fabio's going to be too impressed with Robinson tonight.

5:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

ooh, Lazio have taken the lead against Roma

5:36 PM  
Blogger gatorbob said...

I'm surprised that Juande have kept any faith in Robbo. He'll be off in the summer. We'd take him back on a free.

5:36 PM

Huddlestone with the goal!!

Great move by Nani and then a hopeless cross

5:40 PM

Crybaby Ronaldo complaining about his toe being trod on. Waaaaa!

What do you think I think about Cardiff and UEFA. No!

Excellent shot there Nani and Fergie's not happy.

Gordon Bennett. That was close!!


I just looked up the schedule. League 1 and 2 have matches on Saturday and Monday
I don't see Leeds on Monday though

5:48 PM

KEANO!!!

Why didn't we have this game????

5:51 PM

Bolton have done very well this half.
I have been nervous.

5:51 PM

2149: GOAL Tottenham 4-4 Chelsea
Oh my word. Seriously. Oh my word. Robbie Keane curls an absolute pearler into the top corner. What a goal.

5:52 PM

Why was that Bolton's goal disallowed?

I know, it is at Old Trafford.

5:52 PM

That's it at Old Trafford.

Three points clear at the top.

Let's hope Spurs can hold on
