Road To Wembley
My beloved are visiting Pride Park for the first leg of the Carling Cup Semi Final.
Fingers crossed that United do as well as Spurs did last night
I will be here nice and cozy enjoying my snow day to watch United triumph

Derby County... who cares except Thug Savage is on the bench
I will comment only once in a while because I am going to have my atde link on full screen.
We're off
Derby almost score with a scramble in the box
Off the line by Evans. What is going on?
I lost my link and then refreshed it and now it is a foreign language!
I got my English back now
Derby going for it. Come on United, ride out the storm
I'm here for the moment, mate. Good luck. I hate Derby!
Cheers mate
What do you think of the appointment of Cloughie Jr. at Derby? I think it's madness. He's too young and they're riding on nostalgia at that club. The Derby vs. Forest tie in the Cup should be interesting.
This feels like the Liverpool Cup match the other day where Liverpool soaked up the pressure in the early going and then showed their class in the end. I expect the same from United today.
Too bad you don't have Skippy for the set plays. Nani just doesn't have the same magic, does he? Or not yet.
I hope you're right with the soaking of pressure. I am sure United will score
As for Cloughie, I think it is a good move. He has done a great job Burton Albion. He has stayed there ten years!! I think he will do well. Just hope it isn't the Carling Cup. I know that Clough was successful at Derby and won a Championship but they won one after he left and he had much more success with Forest !
Nice move by Tev, O'Shea and Nani but blocked
United starting to click through the gears a bit here.
BLOODY HELL
Derby score a cracker
The Clough era was the last time that either Forest or Derby won anything, so I can understand the temptation. But I still think it's crazy. Burton Albion? Do me a favor...
As the commentator said, like last night with Burnley taking the lead.
Same result please
Bollocks - where did that strike come from?
Scholes shanks another one
Come on United!!! FOREST GREEN SCORED THREE AGAINST THIS LOT
Keep in mind that this is the first leg. Bags of time.
United have not created much at all!!
I'm off to my class, mate. Best of luck with the Rams, eh?
Take care Bob
That's it for the first half. Very depressing display by United. I have said that quite a lot this season.
Fingers crossed for the second half
Second half is underway
No changes. United have their second corner in the first minute and half and Nani can't get it passed the first many
Rafael in the book for pulling back at the sideline
Ron and Roon warming up on the sideline
Nani is USELESS
Chance to get a free kick into the box. RIGHT TO THE KEEPER!
See I was right. This is what the Beeb said
2049: Nani hits two of the worst corners I have ever seen, both bouncing before they reached the man at the near post. Pathetic.
AND
2056: Get Nani off now. He's being barracked in our office, for heaven's sake. He hits a free-kick from 30 yards way, way too long, straight into the arms of Roy Carroll. It really is unforgiveable.
30 minutes of the game left. I know it is the first leg but make some changes Sir Alex
And SAF hears me, Roon about to come on. It better be for Welbeck and not Tev
Ron has his stuff off too. Must be for Nani
Ron and Roon on for Scholes and Welbeck.
HOW ABOUT NANI??
United have really created nothing tonight. They are no Forest Green!
Roy Carroll hasn't had to do anything
What is up with United this season???
Possession
Derby 53% United 47%
Very sad
United, even with Ron and Roon on, are not creating squat
Under 20 to go
Carrick undressing... on for Nani or Anderson?
Ron does his ridiculous dancing and then kicks the ball straight out of bounds.
Anderson is the one that makes way for Michael Carrick.
COME ON
United finally get a shot at 74 minutes. Of course it is wide from Ron. Carroll used to be a teammate but make him make one save at least
Tev gets hacked down just outside the box. Just outside the D. Ron will hit the wall surely!!
AND.....he hits it an inch wide. That was close
Gordon Bennett!!
Derby have a shot saved by Kuz and the rebound should have been put away but it goes over the bar
What is up with United?
I want to know
They have played like this all season.
They beat Stoke by Five but that is it!!
I was happy that we drew Derby instead of the other two. I guess I was wrong!!
I know this is the first leg but this is not good enough
Derby go close again. A shot hit just wide.
Under 10 to go
I still can't remember United getting a shot on target.
Tev hits one way over the bar
Apparently, according to Soccernet, United have had 10 shots and 3 on target(I can't remember them)
Derby has 13 and 7
Thug Savage is on.
Gibson shoots for United
HIGH, WIDE and HORRIBLE!!
Into the last minute and Derby go close to a second
Four added minutes is 45 seconds away
Carrick has a head straight at Carroll. He made a save!!!
2 minutes to go
Derby almost score again
Under a minute... United just do long balls
Free kick chance. Will be the last kick of the game
Center of the field from quite away out. Time for it to swerve....AND.... MILES OVER!!!
ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS BY EVERYONE IN RED TONIGHT!
I AM DISGUSTED!!!
Derby County win the match and totally totally deserved. United didn't create anything.
I am a very upset, frustrated and mad United Fan.
I know there is the second leg but this is not GOOD ENOUGH!!
Dave
Sorry, mate. Still, get them back down at Old Trafford and you'll no doubt hammer them. Spurs in the final? That's one trophy in the chest for this season already then.
Sorry Davey. Derby caught you on an off day and I predict they will pay a heavy price for tweaking the tigers' whiskers here. 3-0 back at your place, surely.
