Hello Everybody .
How are you all ?
Should be a good football day .
I'll try to join in a bit .
I am looking forward to this Derby. It is a really huge match between first and second. I wonder when that last happened in the Manchester Derby. I love your post, UWS. It is completely true.
Morning, lads! Wow - Chelskilad! Terrific to hear from you. How are you, mate?
Morning, MUR - How's the weekend treating you?
Here is the team news out of Old Trafford this morning:
Manchester United: De Gea, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Nani, Fletcher, Anderson, Young, Rooney, Welbeck.
Subs: Lindegaard, Jones, Berbatov, Park, Hernandez, Fabio Da Silva, Valencia.
Manchester City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, Barry, Milner, Silva, Balotelli, Aguero.
Subs: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Dzeko, Kolarov, Nasri, Toure, De Jong.
Good morning BD, UWS,and Chelskilad. Great to hear from everyone. How have you been?
I disagree with the starting lineup.I want Phil Jones to start instead of Rio and Chicharito in place of Wellbeck.
As I predicted yesterday, if Rooney plays, Chicharito won't. Fergie playing it safe.
Meanwhile, Mancini is being uncharacteristically attacking in his 4-4-2 formation and no Nigel "Breaks Yer Legs" De Jong. I like it.
I agree with you, MUR - it's a tad disappointing and conservative from Ferg today. He hasn't learned his lesson from last weekend yet.
The weekend has been pretty good thank you,BD. I went to bed early either because I was tired, polished off all the Sam Adams , or a combination of the two. How have you been?
I agree, BD. This is Citeh's strongest lineup except that I expected Nasri to start. Mancini is going for it.
Morning boys
COME ON MAN U
Good to see my bruv to comment but where are you now?
Good morning,UWS. Great post!How was the match yesterday?
Here come the teams
The teams are out on the pitch as the world's biggest derby is about to kick off.
We had a brilliant day out yesterday. Unfortunately, the result didn't go Adirondack's way. But it was a valiant effort from young Tom, with a tasty penalty finish in the first half.
Very disappointing.
They lost 6-1 but that does not tell the story.
Tom scored a penalty earlier but they tied it up and then took the lead with a header from a corner inside the last two minutes of the half. They then concede three more headers from corners!
THE FIELD WAS A MUD PID!!
Thanks for asking.
It was nice to see Bob
Sorry about the result, but hope Tom played well.
Here we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Alright, boys - it's United to get us start. And it appears that they've won the toss. They'll be attacking the Stretford End in the second half.
Sorry, UWS. It sounds like poor defending to concede lots of goals from corners and a a poor pitch.
The match has kicked off from OT.
That wasn't a good pass pack by Fletcher and United were a little bit in trouble there
COME ON MAN UNITED
COME ON MAN UNITED
COME ON MAN UNITED
FSC have muted the crowd a little
I hate it
1327: Lots of empty seats again at the Emirates. Will be interesting to see what the official attendance is...
They've started at the Cottage and Em
I have another gripe. I would start Park instead of Fletch or Anderson.
Thanks MUR
Very poor pitch.
Ashley Young crosses off of Richards for a corner.
Good start for Ashley Young burning Richards and earning a corner.
Danny Mills! Elland Road legend!
It's actually a free kick that was poor by Young.
Free kick chance for United... driven across but doesn't beat the first man
Everton have taken an early lead at Fulham
Royston Drenthe... never even heard of him
I posted while you were at the match . Did you notice that we finished with exactly 500 comments?
Useless pass by Anderson after some nice passing by his teammates... he then fouls!
I am surprised that Vidic isn't playing
I saw that - thanks for keeping the home fires burning at the LOB, MUR.
Drenthe is on a season long loan from Real Madrid. He is Dutch.
Stay up the field Rooney!!!
United have started the better but not created much
I've got the Arsenal v. Stoke match up on the laptop, just for kicks:
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/87766/1/watch-arsenal-vs-stoke-city.html
The first shock is that RVP appears to be riding the bench.
The 500 was intentional. I ran an errand that didn't need to be run, so I felt bad that we were a little short. It was a great performance by Norwich at Anfield.
Rooney's not a striker! Why can't Fergie figure that out?
Milner has a shot deflect to De Gea.
Rangers have 0-1 halftime lead at Hearts.
Well done MUR
I was a little disappointed that Bob didn't bring his laptop to the bog and blog Tom's game!!!
Uh oh - a mention of the cheeky Denis Law backheeled goal. A bad omen, surely.
Milner receives a lecture from Clattenburg for the late tackle on Ashley Young.
There was no way that I was getting any wireless coverage at ECC. That place is lucky to have the lights on!
Thanks, UWS. I am sure he wanted to pay full attention to the match.
Chelskilad - are you happy with AVB's reign as manager so far?
This is starting to look like the LiverSox United match last week
The short corner was a one-two between Nani and Anderson . The cross was headed out.
Tony's buggered off again
It was another home draw for Liversox.
I thought UWS had banned the short corner at Old Trafford?
Citeh have done nowt so far
Did SAF get the memo?
I agree, UWS. I hope it stays that way.
That's an odd story about Balotelli and his bog but then he's an odd fellow.
DId you see about the Balotelli incident
He caught his house on fire after he and his friends were shooting fireworks out of his bathroom window and his house caught on fire
Siva dribbling through everyone!!
What's with all this shooting from distance from both sides?
Yaya has a shot deflected for a corner as that was Citeh;s best attack.what was that? The corner was miles too long.
Did you see that it took six players to tackle Silva?
The Balo incident was not odd, it was mental. If he was not a celebrity, he would have ended in jail.
Poor cross by Nani after a great United possession, but United regain possession.
Agreed, MUR. Balo is definitely part of the 1%.
A poor pass by Fletch to end a United attack . Park would have done better.
Absolutely no shots yet
Why does Fergie become so defensive?
IS it 1% or .01%? I wonder what he is doing for Halloween.
Just those desperation long range effort.
I'm not sure how Park should have done better... was he sitting wrong in the stands???
Where's the quality?!
Clichy slips as he tries to cross.
Bloody hell!!
Sorry, lads. It's Balo!
"Why always me?" on his t-shirt.
BUGGER! BALO PUTS CITEH 0-1 UP.
It was a great move down the left and a great finish by Balo.
He got a yellow?
Cool finish there from the pyromaniac, who of course picked up a yellow for merely tucking his shirt over his head. What a nonsense!
I think I was misunderstood. I meant to say Park would have done better if he was playing instead of Fletch.
Great run from Clichy but then he didn't trust his right foot to have a go. Move breaks down.
All City!
Great run by Clichy ,but the cross by Aguero was too high for Balo. Of course, United gave Clichy the freedom of OT.
I thought the goal was against the run of play as United had been dominating prior to thr goal.
Micah Richards with an audacious effort from inside his own half seeing The Werewolf off his line.
That was extremely ambitious from Micah Richards. he was never going to score from that distance.
Great work by Silva and Milner for the goal.Can't blame United. It was great passing.
Ashley Young with one across the face of goal. Has Roon had a touch yet?
Arsenal have taken the lead?
Nope.. the score on the Beeb changed back to nil nil
What's Fergie resting Chicharito for - Aldershot in the Carling in mid-week?
According to my link, Arsenal have taken the lead.
Roon has touched it... in the center circle!
It is back to 1-0 to the Arse
What is going on Robert?
That was one of my gripes. I wanted Chicharito, Park, and Jones starting.
Gervinho has given the Gunners the lead half-way through the first half.
Gervinho has scored for the Gunners
It says that Gervinho scored with a left footed shot thanks to a through ball by Aaron Ramsey.
High and wide by Yaya.
United have created NO chances!!!
United will have to come from behind as they did in the Community Shield.
Decent hit by Anderson there. Saved easily by Hart.
Very quiet inside Old Trafford now. Almost no singing.
Spurs old man Crouch has tied it up for the Potters
Anderson and now Rooney get a shot but both of them hit the third post!
Wow - Crouchie has equalized for Stoke! He's had a great start for the Potters.
Nice turn by Roon and a decent shot that went straight to Hart.
Stupid foul by Anderson
I agree that is the second by Richards. He should have been booked for the foul on Fletch.
No yellow.. of course.. he didn't lift his shirt!
OOPS! Other way around.Free kick Citeh.
Rubbish free kick by Balo there.
Just too hard of a pass by Welbeck to United
COME ON UNITED... PICK UP THE PACE
Great turn by Wellbeck to get past Barry , but his pass to Roon was too long.
United win a corner off of Barry.
When United were crushing teams, their speed was brilliant
Whiff by Evans!
Oh - Evans had a chance there but he's not the one you would have wanted on the end of that chance.
Jonny Evans misses the ball as he should have had a shot at goal off the short corner.
Struth... Citeh were almost in there
Rangers now lead 0-2 at Hearts.
Welbeck is felled by Kompany - is it a red? No, Lescott was tracking back. Yellow it is.
Kompany in the book
Kompany is booked for a foul on Wellbeck as United broke.
ANDERSON SUCKS
Quick snapshot by Anderson - wide of the mark.
Rangers 2 up against Hearts
I hope the English Rangers do that today
Anderson shot just over as he was set up by Wellbeck. That was United's best effort so far.
Drac and the Pea on the bench thinking, "Why am I not playing?"
I agree.That would be a great result. They have Queen in their name.
Pea should be playing.
Roon and Nani go down in the box. Nothing doing.
United are clueless
Roon takes a big dive!!!
There will be one minute of stoppage time.
That's it!
Very disappointing
Half-time: Not the result that you wanted so far. Citeh on top.
Halftime and Citeh lead 0-1 at OT. I agree that United look clueless. I am not happy.
Citeh having created much either
Everton lead 0-1 at Craven Cottage thanks to that early goal and it is 1-1 at The EM.
Hey, lads. Didn't realize we had the early start. Have to take Cal to his own game. Good luck, to United in the second half! Wish I could be here to annoy you with my pro-City comments.
New Zealand won the Rugby World Cup this morning
They beat France 8-7... not much of a score for Ruggers!
If United drop any points and Chelski win.. United would be third!
Good luck , WHR.I agree, UWS. It sounds like there was a bunch of scrums in that match.
Great pass and nice finish from Gervinho.
Utd_F4n on Twitter: "Sneijder... Cleverley... aah what could have been. A season too far for Utd with a second rate midfield."
Thanks a lot WHR!
Just bugger off now!
I agree. I hope Cleverley is back soon. He is a key player for United and England. I hate KD.He causes nothing but trouble.
I hate QPR, but am in the strange position of having to root for them today. They play United on my birthday this year.
Forget just dropping points.. If United fail to win, Chelski will overtake us with a win at Loftus Road
Is the Manchester Derby the most important Derby in England?
OBVIOUSLY YES! even bigger than the Sheffield,North London, Merseyside, and Northeast Derbies.
WHR with a brief Carlos Tevez-like cameo appearance there at half time. He'll be demanding £250K a week for it as well.
It's never bigger than the Steel City Derby!!
We're settling in for the second half now. Ferg has rattled the teacups and is back in his seat. United will be attacking the Stretford End in the second half.
The second half kicks off from OT.
I hope SAF rattled tea cups. The United players deserve it.
No changes to either side?
WOW! Evans fells Balo and gets a red!
Penalty to Citeh!
Surely that was outside the box!?
It is a free kick outside the box. Okay.
BLOODY HELL! IT JUST GOT WORSE AS JONNY EVANS HAS BEEN SENT OFF FOR THAT PUSH ON BALO IN THE PENALTY BOX. BALO WENT DOWN EASILY, BUT CLATTENBURG HAD NO CHOICE ACCORDING TO THE RULES.
The wall does its job against Balo's thundering free kick.
Just outside the box and United clear. Lucky it wasn't a penalty.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
Totally deserved too
United will be a player down the rest of the half and will have to come from behind.
Will SAF make any changes due to the red card?
The one thing I can say is that we have kept Aguero quiet today.
I am really disappointed by United's display today
That performance against Arsenal was a false indicator
Never a penalty. Richards should have been booked for diving.
I don't know why SAF didn't do anything at half time
I agree. We beat up on a really poor team and Jenkinson was charitable that day.
Where was Rooney to support Welbeck there
Again, Welbeck alone in the box
Not the most impressive outing for my boy Nani today - I'd have him off in favor of Chicharito.
I agree. I want to see Wea Pea on for Wellbeck.
Rangers have won at Hearts 0-2.
I don't know what he is going to do
Young and Nani have done nothing
More Keystone Cop defending there again for United
United fans cheer as Richards scoops a shot high and wide.
BLOODY HELL
TWO CHANCES FOR YOUNG!!
HOPELESS
Oh - Young might have picked out Welbeck there.
Just wide by Young as his shot was blocked and he shot the rebound wide as it broke to him.
He is an English international.. right?
I would bring Wea Pea on for Wellbeck and Valencia on for Nani since Valencia plays on the right.
Dangerous ball over from LUFC Academy there.
Great run by Young but useless attempt of a cross
Better from Young as he tackles Milner and wins a corner off of Richards.
bloody short corners
Smalling has a shot deflected for a corner off the short corner by Young and Nani.
Roon tries a curler - Hart saves.
I would keep Hernandez and Welbeck on
I would take off Anderson or Fletch and move Roon back... he plays there anyway
Roon shoots at Hart as Anderson's corner was headed away.
Again, Roon hits the third post
United have had their little spurt... they can't slow down
Hernandez is on the bench. I would perhaps bring Park on for Fletch, Jones for Anderson as he has played in midfield or could fill in for the sent off Evans , and Hernandez for Wellbeck.
i agree. There cannot be any breaks.
ripped apart
two nil
Sorry, lads - it's Balo again!
0-2.
Young and Evra didn't follow Milner
