Lovely jubbly
Phil Neville and Dion Dublin, two ex-Reds, in the studio
Rio didn't make the line up
No Tevez but the other top three are there
Anderson, Carrick and Scholes in the midfield
As I said on the homepage, I will miss the kick off because Kathy and I are about to look at a house.
I will be back ASAP
It has been said a few times so far today that United have won TEN Premiership Championships but only ONE has been won at Old Trafford. That was in 1999 when we beat Spurs. Every other title has been won away from home or sitting on the couch!
Let's hope we do it a second time on Saturday
I am off
Be back in a bit
COME ON UNITED!!!
I'm here now, so I'll take over for you for the second half.
Half an hour in still and we're still at 0-0 between Wigan and United.
GOAL - RODALLEGA. Out of nothing, Wigan go in front. Rodallega and Vidic challenge for an aerial ball and both initially don't know where it's gone. Rodallega reacts quickest, though, and drills it home. Vidic furious as he thought Rodallega fouled him in the aerial challenge, but Styles is having none of it.
Wigan 1-0! That's not part of the script!
Bloody hell, I walk in and see the score
COME ON
Who has been on top?
Ronaldo's arsed off after Catermole hacks him. What a baby!
United look very frustrated
Come on everyone, settle yourself down and play the game
Hiya Dave!
It's been mostly United. Wigan just scored a few minutes ago against the run of play. Plenty of time left.
Bring on Tev
Vidic caught the Wigan player there in the face. The referee wants him to calm down a bit.
Agreed.
Just saw the replay
Never a foul for the goal
Pissing down in Wigan
The Wigan crowd are getting fed up with Crybaby Ronaldo. He's building up to another sulk on the bench in the second half.
United don't look like they have it tonight
They looked to annoyed with the ref
Just get on with it
Free kick chance for Ron
I didn't think so either. 50/50 challenge. Vidic just got unlucky that he was disoriented when he landed.
Straight into the wall. Ron's been better with the set pieces recently but that wasn't what Fergie ordered.
Straight into the wall
He goes through phases of hitting the ball into the wall
Ron doesn't look like he's enjoying his footie these days, does he?
And now he'll pick up a booking for playing on after the whistle. No, Rob Styles lets him off the hook.
Has Berba played okay
That was very close!!!
Ron, you're going to get booked soon.
This is the kind of match Roon could lose his head too.
This is not what I ordered
Roon pops one over from eight yards out.
Bugger... Roon hits it over
I know it's not what you want to hear, but you could probably afford a draw in this match. The Arsenal don't look like they're going to put up much of a fight on Saturday.
You're right, I don't want to hear that.
I want the win
TWO MINUTES!!!
That bloke was on the ground for three!!
That was smart by Roon
I thought he was going to blade him down in the corner
Do teams still drink tea at half time? I bet they don't.
ooh, Wigan are almost in
KNOCK IT OFF
Oh, Wigan could have had a second there. Noriega scuffed his shot.
Get the corner in
Come on Vidic
Half time
BUGGER!!
Another Spurs second half please
Vidic has a shot deflected over and that's it for the first half. Vidic not happy with the amount of time allotted by the ref.
Wigan 1-0 up at the break.
Don't you want to celebrate United's championship on the last day of the season with me rather than at the weekend?
NO, that day is saved for Leeds' celebration!!
Bring on Tevez for Scholes or Anderson
COME ON FERGIE
Woo hoo! Elland Road here we come tomorrow night! Come on, you Whites!
We like to score going the way we are going in the second half
I won't be around for the match tomorrow
My fingers are crossed for you
United have missed some good chances
Richard Keys seems to think that pissing down rain makes it a "glorious football night." Where's he from then?
Teams are out for the second half
Looks like no change
COME ON UNITED.... JUST LIKE SPURS!!
I love playing in the rain
I'll be in a darkened room with my voodoo dolls for the match tomorrow. It could go either way.
TURN UP THE PACE UNITED
LET'S GO!
Here we go with the second half then.
You guys are going to win 3-0
United look shaky to start
Not exactly the start I wanted
United seem to be still in the dressing room
Good passing by United and Berb then loses it
He sucks
Useless shot by Ron
Has the Wigan keeper had to make a save?
COME ON UNITED!
I'll take the 2-0 we notched against them earlier in the season at the ER.
Nice move by Wigan
Hits it over
COME ON
You wouldn't know how frustrated I am right now!
There's a save from the Wigan keeper. Who is that, btw. Shaka Hislop?
I SAID THREE
Andy says that Tev is about to come on
ABOUT TIME
Oh yeah, boo hoo. You've only won three trophies already, three points up in the title race and in the CL final. I'm really sad for you.
Penalty? No, Rob Styles is not impressed.
Shaka is a plonker... he is totally anti United
United can't get it out of their own half
Here comes Carlito. Now it's Roon, Berba, Ron and Tev up front. Think that's enough fire power?
Why don't you shut your mouth you sarky old goat
Tev on for Anderson
COME ON UNITED
Just over half an hour
This is about the time we put Spurs to the sword
Come on United... get a shot off
Useless again by Berba
United starting to attack a little
GOAL! Tevez! How can Fergie get rid of the boy?!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEVEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON UNITED!!!
COMPLETE LUCK BUT WHO CARES
Marvelous little flick there. Pure class!
GET SOME MORE
GREAT FLICK
Keep it tight United
SCORE FOUR MORE TOO!
Fergie, sign him up
Fergie Fergie sign him up
Who was that to Berbatov?
United have turned on the afterburners like I thought
Changed to atdhe
My vss kept freezing
Still Sky coverage
That must have been a penalty
I guess not
Corner and should have been another
Under 20 to go
Come on UNITED!
Free kick chance for United
I would have played advantage
Giggsy on for Scholesy
DON'T HIT THE WALL
Old man Scholes being replaced by Old Man Giggs.
Again into the wall
Carrick should have done better with the rebound
Fergie's got to be thinking that a point will do here.
We want three
What a goal by Tev
Great link on Atdhe!
Ten minutes left for United to win it.
ten to go
COME ON UNITED!!
Oh dear, from Ronaldo. He got that all wrong.
Great lay off from Tev and Ron hits it over
He seems to react to Fergie's reaction
Oh Mido, Mido, Midooooooo Mido!
Tevez nearly squeezes another in.
Tev almost gets in again
Tevez does really like the business end of the season. Remember his heroics for West Ham a few years back?
COME ON UNITED!!!!
Corner to United
Can Manchester United score, they always score
well, not from that corner
5 to go
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CARRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Carrick! There's the title!
Great finish
Love Andy Gray - "He just carrrrrrresses the ball..."
Blow up ref!!
Que sera sera
whatever will be will be
We're going to win the league
Que sera sera
Are you watching?
Are you watching?
Are you watching COSTA DEL POOL
The Fab Four, eh? So who's Ringo?
No doubt they were watching but they've just switched over to "Britain's Got Talent."
Keep it tight!!!
Over the bar by Ron!!
Come on RON
Into added time
How many?
3 to go
That was an unusual cut-out by Evra!
2 to go
Campeones, campeones, ole ole ole!
A bit premature, but...
TRUE
United don't take it to the corner
WELL DONE
ONE TO GO to ONE MORE POINT
Last chance for Wigan
Free kick
CLEAR IT
BLOW UP!!!!
A corner but blow up... you did in the first half
COME ON
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One more point to the CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
Phew!
Best of luck tomorrow Bob
I AM COMPLETELY ON YOUR SIDE!!
That's it - another win, another three points in an inevitable march to the title. The engraver has been called. It would take a spectacular collapse for you lot to lose the title now.
Cheers, mate. I'll be around tomorrow and for the early match on Saturday morning. I've got graduation at 10 a.m.
