I have a link through Justin that isn't as clean as I would hope but I don't want to give it up
http://www.justin.tv/john2239#r=4T1xzqE~
As well as those two big games in the Northwest, there is another game involving a team from the Northwest.
Fulham, fresh off their hammering of Juventus, take on Man Citeh
Turned on to VSS Channel 1
Still not clear!
My link is clear but a little jumpy... boy am I spoiled
I can't believe. Just as the coverage is starting, the link goes!
Back to Justin
Morning, Dave. Let me know if you get a good link, eh? I'm spoiled too!
I am on the Justin link that I posted earler
Wish we had wee Mikey with us. He is in the Sky studio instead of the dressing room
Glenda saying about the 'best' ending to the Prem.
It has gone down to the last day quite often
Is it working? Ah, there it is. A bit jumpy but I'll stick with it for a moment or two. Cheers!
If Pompey hadn't been deducted 9 points, they would be close to safety
They only were deducted 9 because the Prem play less games
I can't really remember a top three this late in the season. And a grouping of three going for fourth spot as well. It's been a better season than I'd expected.
The teams for today:
Man United: Van der Sar, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Park, Valencia, Nani, Rooney. Subs: Kuszczak, Berbatov, Giggs, Scholes, Rafael Da Silva, Jonathan Evans, Obertan.
Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Insua, Mascherano, Lucas, Kuyt, Gerrard, Rodriguez, Torres. Subs: Cavalieri, Aquilani, Benayoun, Kyrgiakos, Babel, Ngog, Kelly.
Here are the teams
Good Guys
VDS
Neville
Evra
Rio
Vidic... will he last the 90
Park
Carrick
Fletcher
Nani
Valencia
Rooney
On the bench
Kusz
Raf
Evans
Giggs
Scholes
Berbatov
Overtan
Beat me to it
I am not sure how I feel about Costa's form coming in.
When they are playing crap, they seem to do well against us any way
My link's starting to jump a lot
KNOCK IT OFF
So what do you make of those line-ups, mate?
Now I have lost it for good!
Got it back for now
There are too many people watching United games!
Here we go... they've handed it over to Martin Tyler!
This link is bugging me
It was the line up was expecting from United
It is the kind of line up Fergie puts out for the big European nights
I am a little surprised that Neville is in and Giggs isn't
Yeah - this is a tough one. I noticed that the first Justin link had more than 10K viewers.
The match is on Fox Soccer + - I wonder when we'll start getting that on our cable systems.
Here come the teams
I have switched to VSS 1
Teams out on the pitch now. Liverpool in black and gold?
Never... it was just like Setanta
Of course, Relieve Back Pain is very important.
That is what is on FSC. I thought it was Soccer 24/7?
As for the run in, Costa would hate to do United a favor and beat Chelsea at Anfield in a few weeks BUT they will need the points!
VSS 1 is pretty good... and we are off!
United attacking away from the Stretford End
Costa are wearing CREAM shorts!
Jumpy picture but good sound
Has Vidic been sent off yet?
Really - they look cream on my screen. I'm onto VSS too. Working well.
United took the lead last season in the 1-4 defeat
STOP JUMPING, PICTURE!!!!!
BLOODY HELL!!!
Costa score VERY early
HOPELESS DEFENDING
GOAL! VDS looks confused as Torres nods Pool into the lead. What a start to the match! Sorry, mate.
Why don't we just leave Torres WIDE open in the middle of the goal inside the six yard box!
Why don't we just leave Torres WIDE open in the middle of the goal inside the six yard box!
At least it didn't start like last season
Carra goes into hard on Roon and Wayne isn't happy about it.
My screen is just a series of snap shots!
PENALTY?
Yellow for Mascherano
It is a penalty
COME ON ROONEY!!
Valencia goes down in the box and Fergie is up off his seat. Masch is booked and penalty!
Rooney steps up and....slots it home at the second attempt. Reina reached the first shot.
1-1!
This is the exact opposite of last season....
YES!!!!!
Roon has the penalty saved
but Jesus Saves but Rooney nets the rebound!
I can't follow anything with these pictures!
Was Valencia brought down outside the box? Maybe - a close call there by Howard Webb.
What a start to the match, though, eh?
THought I hate to give the sound
I would prefer it to be more one sided!
Plenty of Norwich City fans at OT today.
I'm sure you would...
We'll do anything to support Leeds United rivals!
I have rebooted my VSS link. It is working better
Hi Guys . Just taking a break from
my chores . Won't be able to join in
much . But you know I'm here in
spirit . I'll read later .
Morning, Tony! Catch you later.
I still think Gerrard should have been suspended for that elbow. It was nasty. He would still have played today because of appeal but it was definitely worth a red.
I guess the difference between the Rio ban and Gerrard's non ban was because the ref saw the Gerrard incident
Great cross by Valencea... Park should have done better
Lots of bookings early on. Torres is the latest to inspire Webb's ire.
I reckon that Stevie G. should get a suspension for his love of Phil Collins music.
Just went upstairs for a minute or so
Did I miss anything?
Just a Torres booking...
Yes you missed me saying good morning
Did you see the MLS came to their senses and came to a labor agreement?
NY Red Bull played last night in their new stadium. Much better than playing at Giants Stadium
Half an hour gone and still 1-1. That was my original prediction, so I'll take the thirty points right now. thanks.
I did see that. It was what I'd expected and I'm glad that they sorted it out. I caught about ten minutes of last night's match but neither side had many players who I recognized. Why wasn't Robinho playing for Santos?
Looking at the schedule for next Saturday, the top three all play!. There is no early game but United' visit to Bolton is the late game
I'll take wins for Second City!! Birmingham host Arsenal. Villa visit the Bridge
Dunno about Robinho
Stick your draw up your left nostril... HOME win
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Unfortunately, I'll be speaking at a conference on campus next weekend. I'll have to miss the Saturday matches. I'll be around for the Sunday ones though.
Sorry Tony,
that comment just slipped by me. Thanks for the email telling me about it
One more thing while your doing your chores
LET'S GO ROVERS!
5 minutes to half time
Costa has had one attempt and scored from it!
A goal now for the team in red would be lovely
keep complaining Javi... get another card!
Dave , be careful what you say . I
may have to put a jinx on your lot .
I would hate to do it because I really
don't like Costa , But !!!
Into 2 added minutes
Sorry Bruv
come on rovers
One last chance for United. A tasty free kick position after Roon is hacked on the edge of the box.
Free kick chance for United
Ref tried to give advantage and then he was fouled again
PUT IT IN!!!
Boy that almost got by me . You have
one more chance .
Nani to put it in row Q or Rooney to put it in the net!!
Saved by Pepe from Roon and that is it
1-1
Come on United... the second half is yours
Half-time, then. 1-1. Set up nicely for the second half.
LInk working great right now
Neville just let Torres go for the goal
I have three last chances?
Teams coming out for the second half
COME ON UNITED!!!!!!
Glory glory Man United
Glory glory Man United
Glory glory Man United
As the Reds go marching on on on
And away we go!
Two words for the second half
ROONEY'S HEAD
Good break from United.
Nani, your mate, should have done better
Bugger, I wanted a first minute goal by United like against Milan and Fulham
Any changes at half time?
Matt needs the computer after this match for awhile
I will be around later for the Rovers win
But let's concentrate on a United win
Don't think so
A draw is not good enough for us or Costa for that matter
Bugger, my link just froze!
It was working so well!
Still nothing
Keep me informed
Morning chaps. When on earth is Europe going on day-light? This is doing my head-in.
Any ideas about feeds this morning?
Got it back
I'm struggling too.
Morning Steve
VSS 1 is working again
England change their clocks next weekend
Park takes on Carragher and creates space to shoot. However, his effort is straight at Reina.
Sure your liking this score so far Gooner
Morning, Gooner! Any thoughts about the Arsenal win from yesterday?
I would imagine that the Gooner would prefer a Pool win, eh? As it stands, United are top on goal difference.
No one has really stood out in this match
United's midfield hasn't been that impressive
Valencia and Nani haven't done much on the wings
I would bring on Giggs for Park soon
ooh, Martin agrees with me
Link just went out again!
Lost the VSS link again. Frustrating morning.
Football 365 indicates that Giggs is warming up as Fletch is nursing an injury.
Have UNITED SCORED!!
YES!!
Park with a diving header!!!
Goal. Park. Man U up 2-1
Lots of green and yellow in that celebration. Good anti-Glazer stuff.
VSS back. I have some other link from ILEMI.COM as well
Jesus, Geezer Neville gets a tackle spectacularly wrong and Maxi is down.
WE SHALL NOT, !!WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED
Que Sera Sera
What ever will be will be
We're going to win the league
Que Sera Sera
Keep it tight United
Keep to eleven men.... Vidic!
Park scores that, but you have to notice that when the cross comes in, every Liverpool defender is marking Rooney. Park completely open and has to just connect to get it in.
Maxi now up and his head is wrapped thanks to Neville.
Bloody hell - totally missed that goal. Sounds like a good 'un.
I got a link when they were celebrating. I have VSS going strong
Fletch upset with a tackle
11 won't last long
Just over 20 to go
I'm back up just in time to see some major handbags between Kuyt and Fletch. Webb seems to be satisfied with just a bollocking for both. No cards.
Davey, yesterday, all about 3-points. Vermaelen's dismissal was harsh, but within the rules. Justice served by the Spanish Waiter's save, IMHO. We'll miss Thomas away to Brum and home to Wolves, so it could have been worse.
RVP is reportedly kicking a ball now..., in Holland. Get him back before those wooden shoed muppets break him again.
Maxi looks like Terry Butcher!
Come on Rovers!
Links frozen again....grrr!
Arsenal have a GREAT chance for the league!
That is a shocker after their performances against Chelsea and United!
I'd love us to meet in Madrid on a certain Saturday in May
I don't know why Webb didn't card 'em both. Fletch kicks out at Kuyt after being clogged down. If Groundskeeper Fletch keeps his head there, Kuyt's in trouble. SAF's usual edict of discipline ignored.
Here's Vidic first card of the day
You almost held out Nemanja
I don't think that was a card though
The Aqua Man on for Costa
It's those failures of character that don't fill me with a lot of hope that we can get by Barca, Davey. We've also got Citeh coming up and they've mugged us too. I'm not predicting that we'll be in an open-topped bus this season.
Got your link back Bob?
My VSS is working well
WE WANT ANOTHER GOAL
WE WANT ANOTHER GOAL
Toward the Stetford End that is
Costa still has only two attempts on target
One on target
Good withdrawal by Rafa. Kuyt's a Labrador, but had rather lost the plot and looked good for a score settling with GKF.
15 to go
I think I would take of Nani and bring on Giggs
Park can just run all day long. Put him wide and bring on Giggs' brain for the center of the field
Babel coming on for Terry Butcher
I'm off to pick up some Welsh kids from the airport. Best of luck with the rest of this match, Dave.
Cheers!
I've moved that flashing pink message down off the field of vision, but does anybody know if it can be closed?
Don't forget your leeks
Cheers mate
I don't know what pink message you are talking about
And your daffs and cheese toasties.
Here comes Giggs for Nani
JUST AS I SAID!!
MARK TORRES TIGHTLY PLEASE!!
GERRARD AS WELL!
10 to go
It's no big thing. It's some offer about being the 1000000000000th entry and being a winner. It flashes at the bottom. If you click it and then go back it doesn't disappear. A bit annoying.
Giggs for Nani. Good shout Davey.
This is about the time Costa padded their lead last season. Let's have United the same this year please
I think this is more likely to go 3-1 than 2-2 Davey. Relax.
Great cross Javi
Here comes Benayoun... don't like to see him
Benayoun for Lucas. Good move. For 'Pool.
When Howard blows the whistle I will relax
This is Costa Del Pool against United
I think we can agree in saying
COME ON ROVERS!!
Come United
Don't sit too deep. I was thinking just as Tyler said it
United need to have more possession.
A good break wouldn't hurt
5 plus stoppages
Scholesey coming on for Park surely
Back post Wayne
Just like Kiko's shot against Villa last season
So it is ... Parky off for Scholes
Still time for Scholes to get booked
3 to go
I agree with Andy
No one has played a blinder today
I'd like some kind of result for Rovers, yes. Not likely, really.
Great possession by Giggs, Rooney and Scholes
True but we can always dream
I want the good old days when it was us two and then the rest
That was 2 minutes of textbook possession football. At the 86 minute mark, up a goal, you can't ask for better.
Torres??? You see that? Maybe he's fed up with the fiasco on the Mersey.
Into the last minute
How much time to be added?
BLOODY HELL!!
Torres whiffs!!!
Right on the spot he scuffed before Roon's spot kick
KNOCK IT OFF UNITED!!
90 up
5 to be added
Torres could come to Old Trafford if he wants
4 to go
3 to go
Keep those type of crosses coming all day Agger
2 to go
He'd be welcome at the Em too.
I wonder if the fans would be wearing those colors if Norwich were the opponents
United running down the clock well
Then they give the ball away!
Vidic still on the pitch!!!!
Under 1
Costa aren't pushing people forward!
Question- long before the recent Yellow/Green protest, didn't you guys have a season where your second kit was some Newton Heath tribute? That must be a collectors item today.
Free kick to United with only 20 second to go
Blow up!!!
Yes, we had an away shirt in '94 in those colors
Blow up ref
30 seconds over!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
United beat Costa!!
What can be better than that!!!!
LOVELY JUBBLY
Thought so. Is that one in your closet?
Pretty composed win Davey. Congrats.
Blackburn.... it's your turn!
I actually don't have that one
I have the other two shirts from that season
Thanks Steve
I have to give up the computer for Matt's homework
I will be back now and then
COME ON ROVERS!!
Take care Steve
Citeh are beating Fulham 1-0
I come and Blackburn have drawn with Chelsea
BEAUTIFUL!!
Sorry Tony but a great day for me!
Four points clear of Chelsea having played one more game. Two points ahead of Arsenal
