So United go with the same team that beat Wolves
Hernandez and Berbatov make the bench... encouraging sign
Morning, lad. Thanks for the post. I've just got a link for the match through First Row:
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/98799/1/watch-queens-park-rangers-vs-manchester-united-%28pre-game-show%29.html
GOAL! What a start for ManYoo! Roon!
0-1!
Not happy seeing Helguson back.. he is good
Valencia shows why he's in the side by getting down the right and sending a brilliant ball over for Roon to meet with a diving header.
Take that Neil!
You boys will be happy - United back on top!
Bloody Hell... I struggled to find a link... finally get this one
http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/98803/1/watch-queens-park-rangers-vs-manchester-united-i.html
IT IS ALREADY ONE NIL TO UNITED... after 2 minutes!
It was Rooney that scored
Of course, sometimes you can score too early but I"ll take it
I already posted that one, you big wally!
By the way, we're top!!!
The goal was scored after 53 seconds
Helguson has a decent header just wide... phew
I noticed when I first turned on the telly that Barca are 3-0 up in the second half against Santos in the silly FIFA Club World Cup. What a side!
Good morning lads . I did not realize that a thread was posted. I did see the goal.
Can I just say that you're about two minutes behind my posting this morning, Mr. Slow Reactions. I don't think you've even realized that I'm on here yet, in which case, may I just say that you're a snotty faced heap of parrot droppings.
It is bad Guys 0 Good Guys 1
Morning, MUR!
I don't think that UWS realizes we're on here yet. He's half asleep.
Useless corner by Nani is cleared by Bothroyd.
There is also other games going on
9 o'clock is Villa v Liverpool
10 Spurs v Sunderland
11 Citeh v Arsenal
Also, at eight is the south coast derby at Fratton Park
Great run by Nani but should have gotten the cross over earlier.
TWO HOPELESS CORNERS BY NANI
So am I . It looks like the middle of the night outside.
We are top. If Steve's Gunners help us out then that will be the case at the end of the weekend
Morning boys... I didn't notice!
Great start... get some more!
Did you like my good guys, bad guys comment
Useless cross by Jaime Mackie.
UWS is still blissfully unaware of our presences. Refresh, mate. Refresh!
NOW YOU'RE THE SLOW ONE!
I did. You know my feelings about Neil Warnock and everything that has ever been connected to Sheffield United.
Oh - Lionel Messi has just popped in #4 for Barca against Santos over on FSC. Snooze.
Bob, is your link the same as mine?
I have Alan Parry and Butch WIlkins
We need a second!
There you are, mate! Wakey wakey!
Great to be with you this morning with United on top where they belong. (I say that because I'm sick of WHR being on top of the PPP stakes).
The World Club Championship:
BLAH BLAH BLAH
Yeah - I've got Alan and Butch too. Great pairing.
Great pass by Rooney... Carrick should have done better there... better corner please... a little better but cleared
I agree, MUR. It's a fake Sepp Blatter backslap affair. Anything based in Tokyo is bound to be.
GET THAT BLOODY HAMMER BOY OFF THE TOP!!!
I am surprised Smalling has not been booed for playing for nearby Fulham
Roon gets nobbled but the ref gives nothing.
Bothroyd has a chance and blows it over.
Bothroyd shoots well over after great work by Mackie and a chorus of boos after the foul on Roon.
Rooney is down hurt.. he is starting to get up
Did Evra use his hands?
Rooney is okay
Rio in the book for his mouth... could be worrisome
I'm not sure that QPR fans are clever enough to figure that out. They're booing Rooney now for the transgression of falling over when he was hacked.
My link is a little jumpy at the moment... knock it off
By the way, I will be happy to get off the foot of the table as Rio is booked for dissent after the non call on the foul. I will not be sacked because I have dirt on the owners!
Oh, that must the same reason Keane is still at Blackburn!
True enough. You don't want to be bottom at Christmas. You know what they say about that, MUR.
I didn't have enough time to get the coffee and bagels going yet, so I'm starving. Off to set it up - hope I don't miss anything.
We need a second.
I have to take the dog out for a pee... maybe I can miss a second one!
We will be in West London again on Wednesday. Should United stay in a hotel after the match? That is Jacquelyn's birthday. Why does United play on her birthday and not mine?? Why the same part of London on both birthdays? It's as if the EPL knows about our birthdays.
I have some coffee due to the really early hour in Texas.
The tables may change as there is football to play today, and in midweek, so I could move up in the next few days.
Bugger.. still 1-0
Webbie books Gabbidon as one of the Bad Guys goes in the book.
Barca have finished up their romp in Tokyo with a 4-0 win. I hope they're happy with themselves and are able to go for a celebretory o-konomiyaki and sake feast after the match.
We beat QPR 8-1 when Sir Matt was in charge. MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE!
I wish I could join in on the feast.
United never play on my birthday
Bob, how do Leeds fare on your birthday?
Get it over NANI!!!
Neymar is being interviewed post match with one of those silly breathing strips on his nose talking about wanting to play in Europe.
ooh, Evans hit the crossbar from three yards... COME ON!
Last year we had Arsenal in the Cup on my birthday - got tonked of course.
Nani wins a corner for The Good Guys.
OH!Cerny missed the corner and Welbeck headed on for Evans to head on to the top of the bar when it was an open goal. that should have been 0-2 to the Good Guys
Now Jones should have scored , but Cerny saved with his foot.
BLOODY HELL!
Jones misses a one on one... they have to put those away... great pass by Roon
Cerny saves well there from Jones who broke through from midfield. It should really be 3 or 4-0 now. United completely dominant.
I wish it would be 3-0 or 4-0.
BLOODY HELL! A DOUBLE SAVE FROM CERNY AND CONNOLLY.
I don't care about being dominant if we aren't putting the ball in old onion bag
STRUTH... TWO MORE CHANCES!!
off the line!!
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Save by De Gea... again but his legs.
I wish he'd stop that. He's not in the NHL with kick save and a beauty
That's what he did in the CL
That was weird by De Gea from Helguson.
Butch Wilkins managed QPR at some point, didn't he?
The Bad Guys are starting to get back into this match.
COME ON GOOD GUYS! GET A SECOND!
Neymar is getting the Bronze Ball Award now. That sounds rather painful. He should nip down the chemists straight away and get some oinment for his bronze balls.
He was their player manager when they were relegated in 1996.Can't believe he was still playing into the EPL era.
Really. I didn't remember that
After a performance like that it should be prunes or raisins instead of balls!
He did indeed. The research suggests that he was player/manager at QPR from 1994-6. Well in, MUR. You are the LOB Statto.
Wilkins had a brief spell shortly after that at Fulham.so he has a hat-trick of West London clubs.
I thought I was!
Thanks,BD. Ihope it is better than Neymar,especially after that comment I made about him.
He was playing for Chelsea in the 70s
The best memory of Wilko at Chelsea is when Chelsea scored and the replay was slow motion of Wilko on his knees wiping mud out of his eye.. the camera missed the goal!
what a shame . Welbeck took too long to shot after a great counter.
SHOOT DANNY
I think you guys may be a bit ahead of me in time
As I type it is 40:20
Was that before 1977? If that is the case then I missed the goal.I heard he was Chelsea captain when he was 18.What a length career!
I would guess about 30 seconds,UWS.
Bloody foul throw!
41:43 here.
A weird United clearance leads to a corner for The Bad Guys.
Barca players are going all bouncy bouncy now.
Come on United... don't make this game harder than it should
Still only 0-1.
GET ANOTHER GOAL GOOD GUYS!
I taped that match this morning. The boys wanted to see it.
It has already stopped recording. We're missing the interviews and bouncy bounce
Mackie does well to go past Evra , but Rio tackles him for a corner.
If David Pleat were around this morning, he'd be suggesting that United need more thrusting action and that Phil Jones has fabulous thighs.
Pleat would would have a comment about the player awards at The World Club Championships.
He's probably got the Spurs match... he loves all of them
STRUTH.. right across the box
COME ON UNITED
Crikey - that was dangerous. If it hadn't been Barton behind it, it might be 1-1.
That was close as the cross from Bothroyd just missed Mackie and that could have been 1-1.
Half time
Happy with winning but should have been more!
Halftime and it is
Bad Guys 0 Good Guys 1
Half time whistle goes. Butch has enjoyed it and I have too. I'm sure you lot would like another goal or two to be on the safe side.
Was that snow at Manchester?
Struth... I missed the Welbeck 'goal'! Was that when I took the dog out? DId you guys mention it?
I'm playing with my new phone now. Did I tell you I finally got a phone that has text on it. I'm an old dog trying desperately to learn new tricks.
You did tell us that yesterday. I asked if it was the same number. You never answered
A tasty South Coast Derby is about to kick off as Pompey host bitter rivals Sotton.
What Welbeck goal? It's still 0-1, mate. You really do need a strong cuppa, mate.
The second half kicks off from Loftus Road.
Sorry, mate. It is the same number. (716) 986-5787.
He had a goal called back due to offside. Roon shot at Cerny as Gabbidon was late coming out of the tunnel!
Second half is under way
United are 5 points better off than last season
ROONEY MISCONTROLS... COULD HAVE DONE BETTER
QPR started with 10 men.. someone was taking a poop
Sparky is lazier than Shadow. He is sleeping at the foot of our bed just because the missus is still asleep.
Gabbidon was on the sideline when Roon took that shot.
United need to score!!!
Any comments on The South Coast Derby,UWS?
I'm practicing texting so you're likely to get some random texts from me.
Oooh - I just got one from you, UWS. Cheers!
Nani tried to be to cute... knock it off!
During the half time show, they showed Welbeck score but it was offside... it wasn't offside!
I agree. I thought he was level.
I suspect that UWS will be supporting Pompey this morning, right Dave?
I hope this isn't like the Stamford Bridge
The Manchester club scores inside the first minute and then lose
WE NEED A GOAL
Finally some daylight as it looks like Lakenheath again with the overcast skies and wet grass.
Yes I will be but I don't mind Sotton either
Another chance for United... we're not being smart!
Thanks for the texts, mate. I'm still working on capitalization, punctuation, and so on. Better than last week when I didn't know how to turn the bloody thing off!
I agree. This Manchester club needs to do better than the other Manc club in WEST London. That means that between the two Manc clubs, the tour of West London will have been completed in ten days, with the exception of Brentford.
Can you Adam and Eve it ? the EPL clubs will play five league games in seventeen days and everyone wonders why they put in a reserve side in the Third Round of the FA Cup.
Still 0-0 at Fratton Park. I think Jonno will be rooting for Pompey.
GOAL! Carrick! That'll do nicely!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CARRICK!!!!
Great run Michael
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
MICHAEL CARRICK MAKES IT 0-2 WITH A GREAT FINISH OFF SOLO RUN AS HE SCORES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AGES!
Barton coughed up the ball in midfield and Carrick did the rest. Cerny will want that one back again as he was beaten at his near side.
0-2!
Mackie shoots at De Gea as he he was set up by SWR.
He should score more
He had a brilliant brace in the fabulous Roma game
I watched that match in Portsmouth surrounded by family... great night!
I love seeing Barton help us out. That will ruin his reputation as a Bad Guy!
My link is pausing too much!! I am going to take the chance and reload... fingers crossed
Was that the 7-1 match?
That should have been 0-3 as Roon and Evans could have scored off the short corner.Great pass from Valencia?
GET A THIRD GUYS!!!
This match is over for all intents and purpose, don't you think?
I hope Gooner helps with a win at Eastlands.
I think it will be over once we get a third.
United now on 39 points with +23 GD.
Yes it was
Jones is booked for a foul on Bothroyd after gifting possession.
I rate that a score draw.
Still jumpy
Jones in the book.. you get carded for sneezing on players these days!
Why? Are they worth too much money?
I want another one. I don't want it to be QPR with the next goal
Great shot by Welbeck... come on Man U
Nearly 0-3 as Cerny makes a fantastic saver from Welbeck off the counter.Now he is replaced by Wea Pea.
That is his last action of the match replaced by Hernandez... good to see him back.. hope he is fit
Off the post
Evans had a header come off the post ,but Webbie saw a foul that I did not.
A double change about to come up for the for the Bad Guys
BREAKING TEAM NEWS Aston Villa v Liverpool: Darren Bent misses out for Villa with illness, while Jonjo Shelvey makes his first start of the season for Liverpool.
I am glad you had a great night in Portsmouth. It must have been a fantastic time.
This phone lark is addictive!
Tarrabt is on for SWR and DJ Campbell is on for Mackie as it is like for like with both changes. Neil Warnock is not happy with the performances.
As usual I'll be hoping for a hat-trick from Luis Suarez.
Before I forget, thanks for the birthday post. That is my Charles Manson look!
It really was. My wife, boys, brother, sister, cousins, aunt, uncle all watching United ripping an Italian team apart.
I was walking around Portsmouth in my United shirt all day having a great time and it ended like that
I knew the picture reminded me of someone!!
I will be hoping for some goals from Wea Pea to get me off the foot of the table As I type , Mackie wins a corner off of Evera.
De Gea caught the corner.
OH! Off the post by Jones then a great save by Cerny.
Is RVP on top of the scoring charts?
He only needs a couple to beat Shearer's calendar year record. He has already beaten TH14's Arsenal record
OFF THE POST AGAIN!!
Where is Rooney in the scoring?
Pleat would have been in trouble if he said putting the match to bed!
I am liking how United are playing today... more goals would be good
Not sure about Roon.
I agree. This is more like it from United.
Jones almost in again
I do like that Carrick and Jones have been dangerous going forawar ala Robson and Keane in the middle of the park
Is this our first choice pairing?
Still 0-0 at Fratton Park.
Time for some Pompey Chimes
Play up Pompey
Pompey Play Up
Play up Pompey
Pompey Play Up
Great tackle by Nani on Bothroyd then Valencia crosses to Cerny on the counter.
Glad to do it, mate. Gooner and I think that you're a dead ringer for Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmedinijad. (I realize that's not the most flattering comparison).
Nice call Dahlgrens
I am not sure if SAF is certain about the best lineup, but the holiday period is a perfect opportunity as there will be five games in seventeen days.
Once I retire from teaching I can worry about Iran!
Still 0-0 in the South Coast derby.
That photo was more of a Manson look. Charlie not Marilyn and I am about six inches taller than Charlie.
Hernandez slips twice.. keep your ankle safe.. that's how you hurt yourself in the first place
I think United should score again and then bring on Berbatov to score
STRUTH!!
great cross but hit over by DJ Campbell... phew
Well, without the beard, MUR, you won't have to worry about the NSA raiding your backyard to see if you're trying to weaponize plutonium out there.
Love to see Villa and Arsenal wins today
As for Spurs, I do like that they are competing. I don't mind them winning
Just over by DJ Campbell who replaced Helguson, not Mackie. I don't understand Warnock. Why is Clint Hill on for Bothroyd when The Bad Guys are two goals down? That is a defender for a striker.
Is the beard off now?
That is true and there won't be any problems with airport security!
I was glad to see Helguson go off... he is always dangerous
Yes. I have a bald face once again. Bob has the hairiest face on LOB yet again!
Giggs is on for Roon.
Make sure you put FACE in that sentence... he sure doesn't have the hairiest head
SAF turns 70 on New Years Eve. He should be rewarded with a win vs struggling Blackburn at OT.
Breaking news.... Wayne Rooney has been taken off by SAF!!
I remember that Giggs goal
I will remember that,UWS!
OH! Barton gave away possession again,but Nani made a poor pass intended for Wea Pea.
If we can get three points on Wednesday at Fulham... then it is Wigan and Blackburn at OT
Nani makes the wrong choice again... he crossing and decision making has been bad today
COME ON GIGGS.. YOU STILL NEED TO SCORE YOUR PREM GOAL... anyone can score against Leeds in the League Cup
Warnock's french words caught on the mic
Come on United.. make it even safer
I missed the French as I went to get a refill on the coffee.
