The matched has kicked off at Goodison Park. It is 0-0 with four minutes played.

9:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Toffees had a free kick just outside the penalty area as Clichy fouled the tricky Coleman. Arteta shot into the wall.

9:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Both teams had scoring opportunities.Nasri played a one-two with Song , then dribbled half the length of the pitch before Distin cam in with an important block. Nasri took the corner, but it was cleared and Coleman dribbled the length of the pitch to cross to Cahill who headed wide with just Flappy to beat.

YIKES... what kind of picture did you use!!


Good morning.
I will be in and out this morning.

You know who I want to win in both games... I don't see it happening

Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning UWS.My apologies for the picture. It is an EPL logo. I tried to shorten the lenth and was unsuccessful.Still 0-0 at Goodison Park as Jagielka came in with an important tackle on Wilshere.

Don't worry.
Our Blog Commissioner will fix it when he awakes in the MIle High City

9:29 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Thanks UWS. Koscielny is serving the finall match of a two game ban for receiving two red cards this season. The Gunners have four reds in total already. Old habits are hard to break.

9:31 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everyone said that Fab should have seen a red last week. Arsene actually SAW it but said that Fab apologized so it is okay. I don't mind the tackling but stop complaining when it happens to you Arsene

9:34 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I called it yesterday!!

Andy Carroll has a groin injury and may not be able to play!!

9:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. His players are just as guilty as his opponents. I did notice that he did not complain about Wilshere's red earlier this season.

9:36 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

well done,UWS.You should become a fortune teller. do you predict any other injuries? Cap made some interesting squad selections. I understanding giving youth a chance, but why Bothroyd?

9:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Arse take the lead. Not sure if Howard should have let that inside the front post
Sagna is the scorer

9:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My link is about three minutes behind yours as The Gunners just scored. That was Sagna's second career goal for the Gunners. I thought Timmy made a good save before Sagna scored

Blogger United We Stand said...

1 added minute and Everton have a corner

9:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I will go to that link in the second half. Thanks , UWS.

9:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Almost in at the back post but the Arse survive

That's it

Half time and Steve will be pleased

United are now in third

9:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners did have a scare in the final seconds as there was a Flappy moment in the final seconds of the half.

9:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Good to hear the sky half time show
We are off for the second half
Rodwell on for the Toffees

10:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second has begun as Jack Rodwell is on for Heitinga. That is a more positive move and Heitinga is on a yellow.

10:09 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Two nil!!

Fabregas with a nice turn and shot...surely game over

10:11 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton get the ball in the net but it was called back for a foul outside the D

10:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. That was a great finish by Cesc and great work by Denilson who had just come on as a sub. That was poor defending by Everton .

10:13 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arteta or Baines to take it... Baines over the wall but easily saved by Flappy

10:13 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Fab in the book... unluckily on replay

10:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is still St. Mirren 0 Celtic 0 five minutes into the second half.

10:15 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice saving tackle by Jags

10:19 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice move by Everton but hit over the bar by Rodwell

10:20 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A great tackle by Jagielka that prevented a third Arsenal goal

10:20 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Rodwell should have done better.
Everton need a goal soon or it is over

10:21 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nasri with a nice run and shot but saved by Timmy

10:23 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Chamack misses from two yards

10:24 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners are in full control as Timmy saves well from Nasri, then Chamakh shoots over from two yards. The Gunners should have been three goals ahead.

10:25 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Commentator says about United coming back from two down yesterday and Everton doing the same to United... still not over

10:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is still 0-0 between St. Mirren and Celtic( a minor surprise).

It is 0-0 late in the first half between Swansea and Middlesbrough.

10:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Pienaar blasted straight at Flappy about 25 yards from goal.

10:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! EVERTON PULL ONE BACK OFF THE CORNER.

Pienaar took the corner, Saha headed across goal , and Cahill scored from a few yards out. Flappy made a good save earlier to concede the corner.

10:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Four minutes of stoppage time.

10:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The final is Everton 1 Arsenal 2

Gary Hopper score the winner for Celtic in stoppage time as the final is St. Mirren 0 Celtic1

The next match is Chelski vs Sunderland

11:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It has been a mixed morning for SS.

Everton lost, but Celtic won in stoppage time.

11:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

There was a minute of silence to honor the veterans.

11:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The match has begun.

11:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sunderland's last victory at the Bridge was when Peter Reid was their manager.

11:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sunderland have done most of the attacking , but neither keeper has been forced to make a save.

11:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sunderland clear the corner from Malouda ( the first of the match).

11:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sorry, I was out taking the dog for a walk. I am now out doing leaves. I will pop in once in a while

11:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chelski had two great opportunities. First, Anelka was put through after a nice long ball from Mikkel, but Gordon did well to block from Anelka. A minute later, Jerkoff weaved his way through the Sunderland defense, but shot wide with just Gordon to beat.

11:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome back, UWS. We are fortunate that the only time we need to rake leaves is in December. I imagine that the fall season would be a busy time of the year for raking leaves in the northeastern part of the U.S.

11:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I was not guilty of a typo. Mikkel actually hit a wonderful long pass to Anelka. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!

11:34 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Dorgba wins a corner off of Onuha.

11:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drogba hits a poor corner that is cleared, then Ramires forces a save from Gordon with a header about 25 yards from goal. It is highly unusual to attempt a headed goal from that distance.

11:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drogba is fouled by Turner after a nice step over. Turner is booked.

11:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The free kick is about 25 yards from goal.The free kick is deflected over by the wall for a corner.

11:41 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That was a horrible corner from Jerkoff.

11:42 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is still 0-0 with 30 minutes played. This match is really similar to the mid-week match vs Fulham.

11:44 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welbeck is miles offside as Sunderland had a rare break into the Chelski half.

11:45 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cattermole fouls Drogba. The free kick is about 35 yards from goal.

11:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drogba curls the free kick to Gordon. In the end it was an easy save.

11:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welbeck forces Cech to make a fantastic save with a great header after a great cross from Onuha. Zenden took a poor corner , but it broke for Richardson who shot wide from just outside the penalty area.

11:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chelski have outscored their opponents 39-0 in the last nine home matches . An incredible statistic.

11:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cech makes another save from Welbeck who really should have scored when put through.

11:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The corner from Zenden is eventually cleared after a scramble in the penalty area.

11:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ivanovic is booked for fouling Welbeck when he was through. He should have been sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

11:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Stevie Bruce is livid and is letting Andre Mariner, the fourth official, have it.

11:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gyan heads wide from the free kick.

11:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL!!! 0-1 TO SUNDERLAND AS ONUHA SCORES AN INCREDIBLE SOLO GOAL AND DUMMIES CECH ON THE WAY.

His first for Sunderland and the first Chelski have conceded at the Bridge this season.

11:57 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

One minute of stoppage time. Cech had made a double save from Gyan and Richardson seconds before the goal.

11:58 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It is halftime and Chelski trail 0-1 at the Bridge. The other discussion point is why Ivanovic was booked by Chris Foy instead of being sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity. Chelski are fortunate to not be down to ten men even though Michael Turner has come close with some dangerous challenges.

12:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half has begun.

12:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Malouda was fouled by Titus after Turner fouled Drogba,but the referee played the advantage.

12:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welbeck shoots harmlessly wide with an ambitious effort from long range.

12:16 PM

Great team move for the goal

12:22 PM

Great point,UWS. I think Sunderland can do it.

12:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Turner made a great tackle on Drogba.

12:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Drogba is called for climbing on Bardsley while attempting a header.

12:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kalou is on for Malouda. The Chelski fans are not pleased with that decision.

12:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Danny Welbeck passed into the penalty area off of the free kick, but Turner could not make the connection.

12:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bramble is booked for fouling Anelka just outside the penalty area.

12:30 PM

Zenden clears the free kick from Drogba.

12:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Zenden poked the shot straight at Cech.

12:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I wonder why Ray Wilkins was released by Chelski. That does not make any sense.Does anyone have any ideas?

12:35 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ramires is about to be replaced by seventeen year old McEachran.

12:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The fans applaud as the local lad makes an appearance.

12:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Anelka shoots wide from just outside the penalty area.

12:39 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Swansea defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 as they are three points behind second place Cardiff City.

12:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chelski made a fantastic ,but were let down by a shocking cross from Jerkoff. Now he is replaced by Gael Kakuta as the nineteen year old is on for an expensive signing. Is Ancelotti sending a message to his players?

12:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chelski have had two teenagers come on for expensive signings.

12:45 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Onuha has his shot deflected on to the top of the net.

12:45 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gyan blazes over after being put through by Henderson who tackled Kalou in midfield.

12:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gyan is down injured. The Chelski players feel this is time wasting.

12:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Anelka shot just over from about twenty yards.

12:54 PM

Chelski fans are making an early exit.

Chelski are now two points clear of the Gunners and three points ahead of United.

12:58 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welbeck is now replaced by Elmohammady. There are four minutes of stoppage time.

12:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chelski lose at home just a few days after Ray Wilkins is released. What an interesting coincidence.

1:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sunderland are just two minutes from an historic, emphatic victory at the Bridge.This must be the upset of the season.
