So Rio is out with a knock so Evans replaces him
Rooney is only on the bench as Ronaldo, Tevez and Berbatov play up top
I put on VSS and it is paused but says it will show the match
I went to atdhe and chose the Sky link and it was the panel talking. The bloke has since changed it to MUTV
Great behind the scenes stuff at OT
All the news on the net is that Tevez is going to leave United
United aren't going to pay 30 million pounds for a 'reserve' striker!
We're going to miss him
Morning, Dave! I'm here and really looking forward to another great day of the footer chat. Happy Mother's Day to Kathy. I've just had a chat with my mum who is resigned to the fact that she's going to be a soccer widow once again. Ah well...
10 minutes to kick off
I want a nice easy win!!
This bloke hasn't changed it from MUTV yet
They have gone to Paddy Crerand and the other guy
He has changed it to SKy... lovely!
I've got the following link for the Sky coverage of the match:
http://www.freedocast.com/mysports3
I was on Atdhe last night watching bits of the D.C. match that me bruvver was at and the Revs at Chicago. Fantastic coverage!
Bit of a weak side for you lot IMHO. Not that it should matter. You should be able to beat this lot with a team made up of the MUFC tea ladies.
Good morning Robert
The teams are coming out of the tunnel!!
Come on United
Two wins and one draw without Costa taking the field United would be CHAMPIONS!!!
COME ON!!
Come athdhe, they're coming out of the tunnel and it has frozen!
Just went to your sight. It is working. Mine stopped
Cheers mate
We're off
United going in their favorite diretion
And we're off...!
Kick them out

Good morning .
CIA here . I'm watching the Grand Prix so I will be relying on you guys to keep me up to date with the football .
Thanks for that cricket picture .
Though your morning email to me seems to have gone missing Dave !
United haven't started that well
ooh, Park hits one just wide
Go on Carlito! Show them what they'll be missing next season when you're bombing foward with Jermaine Beckford in the Championship.
Morning Tony,
I just got up and went to this match!!
YOURS WAS REALLY GOOD TOO
Keep us up to date with the GP
I really want Button to win. He was great on Top Gear a fews years ago
Morning, Chelskilad. Which Grand Prix is that?
I am having a tough time finding a good link
I am now on atdhe
Great shot from Elano there. You'll take those all day long.
Spanish GP . Button doing ok so far .
Ronny has a crack but Given saves
No goal in the first 8 minutes
COME ON UNITED
By the way , I was very impressed with
the 502 comments yesterday .
Do you want Button to win?
Nice movement by United but the cross is too close to Shay
Still not having great luck with links
My at goes in and out.
The one you had went out
No VSS either
I always want a Ferrari to win but if
not then I really would like to see
'
Button win the championship .
Robinho isn't a big match player. He's the one who can always be relied upon to stuff in a hat-trick for Real against Mallorca or for Brazil against Venezuela but not in big ones.
Ferrari!!!
Do they even have a POINT!
Let's hope he is hopeless today
I wanted a goal by now
I'm sticking with this link I got through MyP2P. The ads at the bottom of the screen are irritating but I keep clicking them off.
United are not passing too well right now
I want to play like we did against the Arse twice
Ronny hits the wall
Vidic picks up the first yellow card for a foul on Caicedo.
Elano pumps the free kick in but it's knocked out.
Ferrari have 3 points thank you very much . they got them in the last race
Massa in a Red car is in third at the moment . They are on the way back .
Free kick now for Ronaldo...
Berba brought down
Free kick chance for United front and center
COME ON
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RONALDO WITH THE GOAL
YOU BEAUTY!!!!!
GOAL! Ronaldo hits one straight into the bottom right corner. Went through the wall. Ronaldo is on fire!
1-0 United!
Come on United, get SIX more. Go ahead of Costa on GD
That's game over I reckon. I'm going to switch over to Bury vs. Shrewsbury Town. That's some real football.
Greedy as ever, Dave!
If Citeh got a draw off you today, it would make the run-in more exciting, Dave. What do you think?
Thank you
Enjoy the match at Gigg Lane.
BE OFF WITH YOU!
I agree with you Bob !
He's never satisfied .
No comment about your match!!
Shrewsbuy score in the 87th minute to tie it up on agg.
COME ON, keep me posted
I can't believe that you're actually arguing over Grand Prix teams. Is there a Honda Civic team? That's one I can get behind.
You can shut it and go back to Spain and your GP!!
Also, both of you can shave off half your mustaches and shove them up your left nostrils!
Manchester United to win the Spanish Grand Prix with Roon driving VDS's Bentley!
No comments from either of you
You guys must have both buggered off!!
ps
I was only kidding
Tetchy, tetchy.
Bury and Shrewsbury go into extra time
Into stoppage time at Gigg Lane. Marvelous match!
Que Sera sera what ever will be will b
we're going to win the league
Que sera sera
Button's in first?
Robinho hits one but it's sadly wide of goal.
Rob shanks it!
Lovely jubbly
I really want to say "Come on City"
But I wouldn't be that horrible !!!
SHUT IT BIG BRUV!!!
You want Citeh to win.... go ahead... come on EVERTON
Button still leading . Massa in the
Ferrari second .
Oh, Tevez with a rocket off the post!
By the way, it is in the Nocito Family By-laws
Never speak against Manchester United again
ooh, Tev off the woodwork
Fergie sign him up
Fergie Fergie sign him up
Of course You know I'm only kidding .
Everton were hopeless yesterday at Goodison. They don't have a hope against Chelski in the Cup Final.
Great chest by Ron on to Park
Ireland picks up a yellow for a hack on Evra.
Players are soft these days
Cards are flashed so much
I was watching the England Scotland match from the mid 70s(the one with the Keegan Brooking one-two)
Some of the tackles were hard but they got up and got a free kick. NO CARDS!
Shrewsbury down to ten men
10 to go before half
Kompany's holding his willy and marching toward Berba.
The Citeh player is not happy with Berba
What happened there?
Berba kicks out a little there but Kompany is actin up a little
Kompany's still holding himself Michael Jackson style.
GP update?
Nearly half time. Good thing too. I'm starving!
Good thing.... I have to go to the loo
Do you still have Sky coverage?
I don' know what mine is
I'll let you know when the pit stops work themselves out .
Keep that up Elano
I've got United at 2-0 in this one and 1-1 in the Chelski-Arse later. I need the points. I was hammered yesterday.
And there it is! 2-0! Tevez!
YES!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A GOAL!!!
Great control from Berbatov!!
What a shot by Tevez
YOU BEAUTY!!
Five more please
Great tackle, Vidic!
Great tackle by Vidic... I love you
Greedy, greedy, greedy...
Half time at OT
Two nil to the good guys
More of the same please!!
Button , Barrichello , Webber , Massa
What's for brekkies, Dave?
Dunno, I have to make it for me and the Missus because of it being Mother's Day
Good lad!
Teams back out for the second half.
Almost over at Gigg Lane
Could be penalties
Shame, Bury deserve to go up.
We're off attacking the Stretford End
Fletcher with a nibble and he goes into the book too.
I'd love to see Bury go up.
Penalties at Ryan Lane.. I mean Gigg
Come on Bury... I watched you play once
I was ballboy at the Abbey Stadium as you lost 4-0
Alan Biley stepped on my toe as he celebrated one of the four goals scored at my end
Oh, Robinho blows an easy chance. That was a terrific ball in from Elano and Robby fluffed it big time.
Is the CIA up to his old tricks again?
Button wins!!
Ooh, Rob misses it badly!!
Keep it up
United have started at a surprisingly slow tempo
Result . Button , Barrichello , Webber
Vettel
Was it a Bury or a Cambridge Utd. fan who laughed at you when you fell over?
Bury score their first
Well done, Benjamin Button!
Two female Cambridge fans. Their dad told them they were being mean!
Well remembered
2-2 on pens so far
Which stream are you on for Bury? The Atdhe link went into a rubbish Serie A match on FSC.
Keep it tight United. NO GOALS FOR CITEH PLEASE
I'm not, I have text opened up in another window
Bury miss
Shrewsbury score
Good stuff. That's something you can only get when you watch the small clubs. If I lived in England, I'd probably go regularly to watch a small club, probably Barnet.
Great stuff on 606 last night, especially the van load of Exeter fans excited about promotion.
3-3
Shrewsbury could win with next shot
Citeh making some chances.
COME ON UNITED
3-4
Still Bury to kick
Bugger Shrewsbury win it
Rooney coming on for who?
Ronaldo
He doesn't seem happy
Kia Doorabshian in the stands, covering his mouth as he talks on his mobile. What a wanker.
Ronaldo's arsed off to be substituted. He hasn't marched down the tunnel but he's gesticulating like a madman.
Park off for Rooney
Who came on for Ronaldo?
What a baby Ronaldo is. Throwing the rubber ducky out of the pram in front of the whole crowd. Fergie should kick a boot in his face.
Scholes was the man to replace Ron
Scholesy on for Ron.
Ron shaking his head on the bench
We have a game on Wednesday buddy
Don't get in a strop
Ronaldo off to Spain in summer?
just under 30 to go
Not much has happened in this half
Bojinov on for Caicedo now...
So did you give it a think about what I can pick up for Jon's birthday?
I thought his name was
Whodjanicabollockoff
United are clearly saving themselves for Wednesday now and Citeh don't really have the quality to break down the United defense. 2-0 suits me to a tee.
Carlos Kickaball.
I will ask Kathy but we don't know what we are going to get him!!
Why are footballers thugs?
Footballer Ledley King, who was arrested outside a London nightclub on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm, has been bailed by police.
Stop it Citeh!
Evans off for O'Shea
United have used all the subs and still 20 to go
Ron is still not a happy camper
Don't get too made Ron
Petrov to come on for DeJong. Attacking move there from Sparky.
From Sign him up!!!(Tevez) on 606: "Disappointing reaction from Ronaldo. Fergie's stuck by him all season, even when he was not at his best. Now he is at his best and is taken off to have a rest for the big games coming up and he is being a disgrace.
I am surprised with United's display in the second half. This is how they have been playing for the majority of the season
What Ledley? Nah, he's a smashing bloke! He didn't want to nail my head to the floor. I had to insist.
Don't be surprised. They know they've got the game won and are just coasting.
But the police have film of him nailing your head to floor
Oh, well he did that
He is a hard man but fair
Robinho's done himself an injury.
15 to go
Get a third
Speaking of criminals, what do you think will happen to Joey Barton? Will Newcastle have him back next season?
Someone will buy him
I don't think Newcastle will
Drogs in the Chelsea line up
Under 5 to go
Keep it tight
oooh, Petrov with a great shot
Great save by VDS
Just about into stoppage time now. In truth this game was killed off in the first half.
But that shouldn't happen with United
The should attack... it is the United way
The anti-LUFC choir at WSD were saying the other day that, "oh, someone like Leeds will pick up Joey Barton." I tried to phone in but couldn't get through to give them a piece of my mind.
Fletcher's header comes off the post! Steady on, lads. 2-0 in the score remember.
off the post!!
What was Tevez playing at there. Fairly comical!
Tev almost hit the post too
Into added time!
Corner to United
Ronaldo=Le Sulk.
Comes to nothing
Ronaldo still in a strop
Full-time! 2-0 for United. 30 points in kitty for piece. Lovely jubbly.
We've had the appetizer. Now the main course.
That's it!!
United back on top!!
Four points out of possible nine and we will be there!!
Bring on Wednesday
Congratulations Dave .
I'm still here , just reading .
Just snooping more like
Thanks Tone
BC Radio 5 Live's Jimmy Armfield: "Whatever Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo do won't affect Sir Alex Ferguson. I'm not sure what Tevez was doing really when he scored, but the crowd do like him and he's endeared himself to them even more today. It'll be interesting to see what happens."
Who's snooping ???
1528: Arsenal v Chelsea line-ups
Arsenal: Fabianski, Sagna, Toure, Silvestre, Gibbs, Walcott, Nasri, Song Billong, Diaby, Fabregas, Van Persie.
Subs: Mannone, Denilson, Ramsey, Djourou, Adebayor, Bendtner, Eboue.
Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Alex, Terry, Ashley Cole, Essien, Mikel, Lampard, Anelka, Drogba, Malouda.
Subs: Hilario, Ivanovic, Di Santo, Ballack, Kalou, Belletti, Mancienne.
I think Wigan will give us a tough game
It's not snooping . It's called keeping an eye on things .
I'll be in and out for the "main" course!!
I am working on the basement again.
STRUGGLING btw
You just keep thinking that Butch
That's what you're good at.
Very Funny Dave . That made me chuckle .
Thank you
Rules? Who ever heard of rules in a knife fight?
Right the boring Serie A match is going off and now for the main course.
Someone say one, two, three go
One, two, three go
I was always rooting for you Butch
Three up front for Chelski. Pretty attacking formation for the away team.
Arsenal go straight up the pitch from the kick-off and carve out a chance for Theo.
RVP - a striker? You're having a laugh.
Wenger has come out this week saying that he has no need or intention to buy any players this summer. I reckon Jose Mourinho is right about him when he says that Wenger has the easiest job in football. He doesn't ever have to win anything and everyone considers "the professor."
Good move there between Nasri and Theo ending with a sharp save by Cech. Arsenal have had the better of the opening stages.
Ooh, Diaby had the net beckoning him there and he somehow contrived to screw it wide. Big chance.
Another silky move there by the Arsenal midfield, with Fabregas linking onto an RVP ball. He just ran out of space before Cech collected.
Apart from one speculative shot from Lampard, it's been all Arsenal.
Great ball across the area by Nasri but as usual the "strikers" were absent. They might actually win something if they had a proper striker who had a nose for where the goal is. A Michael Owen in his prime would have been there to stab it in.
Oh, another chance goes begging. Great ball in from Diaby and Theo hit is sidefooted first time, just past the post.
More lovely stuff but why aren't RVP or Ade ever on the end of the telling pass instead of Fabregas and Theo and Nasri?
Oh, Cashley got through and played it back to Malouda who scuffed his shot. To be fair to him, the ball back was slightly behind him. Saved by Gibbs.
Mikel nibbles at Nasri and picks up a bollocking for his trouble. I agree with you, Dave. In days past, the ref would have just given a foul and moved on.
Fabregas drives the free kick into the wall, it comes back out to Song and he hits it horribly wide.
Now it's Fabregas into the book for his first serious challenge. Very picky.
GOAL! Drogba swings the free kick in and Alex rises majestically to head in off the bar. Fabianski it is in goal and he barely moved for it.
Chelski 0-1 up against the run of play.
I think you see there why Chelski are likely to win more than Arsenal in the coming years. They have strikers who will regularly chip in 20+ goals, plus a midfielder in Lampard who scores 15-20 goals and two center backs who will contribute 5-10 goals from set pieces over the season. That adds up to trophies.
Fabregas nibbles in again and Phil Dowd is very close to sending him off now. That was actually a bookable offense whereas the first one was just a regular foul.
That Alex goal seems to have completely broken the rhythm of the home team. The momentum has swung to Chelski.
Good sweeping Arsenal move there but it comes to nothing.
