I think Jones and Smalling have knocks

Glad to see that we have some firepower on the bench

9:20 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

So Man Utd Rejects are playing Villa today
How many players will Everotn take from us?
Kanchelskis, Howard, Saha, Little Neville and now Gibson


Sky are talking about Gibson. Le Tiss is saying how he is not good enough for United as video of BRILLIANT goals from Gibson.. the panel have a big laugh about it
Classic

Good morning UWS. How was your week? I checked the guide on the telly and Man United vs Bolton is not listed on ESPN 2. I did see that it is on ESPN3.com.

9:28 AM

No striker has scored when starting a match for Everton all season!!!!

9:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

At least Everton are not taking our best players. Should we send Wazza back to Goodison?

9:29 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Are you serious??? Bloody Hell

You're right

TIme of the ipad

9:30 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

What a stat! I know Saha is in a slump and the other strikers must have a goal or two off the bench. I guess they must score a fair number of goals from set pieces.

9:30 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have a feeling that the match on FSC may be closer than we might think as the Black Cats have improved under Martin and Chelsea's league form is not the best.

9:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rangers have won 1-2 at St. Johnstone

9:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I've got my ipad set for the match... Hasn't started yet but it is up

9:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bugger... the bloke has turned the channel from SS to Barcelona... turn it back!!

9:42 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Same here. I will watch Chelsea on FSC and Man United on ESPN3.com. I don't have an ipad, but when I have used one I have found it difficult to type.

9:43 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope you're right about the match at the Bridge.. I agree with you

9:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

He does need to turn it back. The real action is in the EPL.

Rangers squeezed by 2-1 at St. Johnstone to go top
Celtic host Dundee United at 3

"Does this mean Scholes and Henry will have another testimonial when current contracts end?"

9:49 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Can Leeds get an away win at Selhurst Park... surely Palace will have their semi final second leg on their mind instead of this one

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

Aston Villa v Everton is on tape delay for the Noon match since there isn't one live... I won't bother watching it

9:51 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My ESPN 3 link just started... lovely jubbly!

9:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I sure hope so about the match at Selhurst Park. In terms of the testimonials I would day maybe for Scholes , but no for Henry as hos loan ends in six weeks. Is Scholes' contract up at the end of the season?

9:52 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I still have FSC+ free so i could also have Liverpool Stoke

9:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mine did not I will try it again. I agree you about not watching Villa vs Everton even though it is another battle of American keepers?

9:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

here's a stat courtesy of Infostrada Sports. If Frank Lampard scores for Chelsea today it will be the 100th different PL match in which he has found the net. He will become the third player to achieve this feat for a single club after Thierry Henry (123) and Alan Shearer (115).

9:54 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

mIne just went off.. bugger

9:54 AM

My ESPN3 screen is all black

9:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

What an achievement for Lamps , especially as he plays in midfield.

9:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mine is too. I am not sure why.

9:56 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I got it back...phew

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

I double tapped the screen and then said done and opened it up again

9:57 AM

I wonder if there is another link for the United match.

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

Now I have picture but no sound... come on ESPN... sort it out

Now it is back

9:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I still don't have anything. Bloody useless ESPN!

10:00 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Do you think it is step back for United bringing back Scholes... I don't think so... I don't think he should have retired. He can play as long as Giggs

HE WILL SCORE TODAY

United haven't lost 3 consecutive league games since December 2001... let's not do it again

We're off

10:00 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They are away at OT but FSC are still in the studio

10:00 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on OLD TRAFFORD... LET'S BE HEARING YOU

10:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The match kicks off from Stamford Bridge and I guess Man United vs Bolton is not meant to be today.

10:01 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nani with a chance but a hopeless attempt... that could have been a great start

10:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. I think Scholes still has several good years remaining.

10:02 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My ESPN 3 link is working strong

10:02 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Did you see Essien is on the bench for Chelsea.. hopefully he is getting too old

10:03 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

My SS link is ahead of my ESPN link... bugger

10:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have a link of First Row Sports. I have audio, but not video.

10:04 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Welbeck has a shot well saved

10:04 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am going to know when the goal goes in before I see it!

10:05 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nani saves the ball well from going out and then crosses it into the side netting... hopeless

10:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now my ESPN link is finally up. PHEW!

10:05 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Boro 0 Burnley 1

10:06 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

ooh...great move by Valencia..cross cut out

10:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Almost a goal as Roon put Valencia through and his cross was cleared by David Wheather. Then Welbeck heads wide from a cross by Valencia.

10:07 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

COME ON UNITED... SCORE!!!

10:07 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mark Davies is down for Bolton after a typical Scholes challenge. HE'S BACK!

10:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Is FSC a minute behind ESPN.Bogdan was quickly out of his goal to beat Welbeck to a through ball.

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

Oh Dear... Palace 1 Leeds 0 so much for concentrating on the Cup

10:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

David Luiz is booked for a clumsy challenge.

10:09 AM

BUGGER!

10:09 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cech punches out a free kick from Seb Larsson. it was straight at Cech , but had some power.

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

Do you mean SS not FSC? It was ahead before

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

My ipad has paused a few times

10:11 AM

PLAY FASTER UNITED!

Hi Guys .

work . Won't be on for long though .

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

I know.. that's what kills me about this side.
The beginning of the season, we were so fast

10:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The match on FSC is a minute behind the ESPN match unless the match at The Bridge started late.

10:12 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United need to win by 9 to go top

10:12 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

ipswich take the lead at home to Blackpool

10:13 AM

Good afternoon Chelskilad. We are watching Chelsea on FSC and Man United on ESPN3.com. How have you been?

10:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Lampard just scored and achieved the 100 milestone.Torres had a volley come off the bar and Lampard side footed into an empty net. 1-0 Chelsea.

10:14 AM  
Blogger Chelskilad said...

Good thanks MUR .

10:14 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

A useless corner by Nani.. how can he be pathetic some times

10:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Your side took the lead just as you came on.

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

United haven't looked good

10:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not sure . Nani blows hot and cold and you don't know which player is showing up on any given day.

10:16 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

THEY'RE IN THE BOTTOM THREE!!!

10:16 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Roon goes close... COME ON UNITED!!!!!!

10:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Roon has a shot deflected for a corner after great work by welbeck.The corner was cleared off the line.

10:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Barnsley take the lead at the Walkers... Salt n Vinegar please

10:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

If we lost at home to bottom club , Blackburn then are any wins guarenteed?

Very true MUR

10:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'll take the original flavor.

10:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

nani was through, but wheater tackled him for a corner.

10:19 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Roon looks more like a player coming out if retirement than Scholes , who has had some decent touches. Are you watching Wazza?

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

Brum have taken the lead at Millwall

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

PENALTY FOR UNITED!!!!!

10:21 AM  
Blogger Chelskilad said...

Penalty

10:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YES!!!! PENALTY UNITED AS ZAT KNIGHT FOULS WELBECK IN THE BOX.

He is booked , but should have been sent off for denying a goal scoring opportunity.

10:21 AM  
Blogger Chelskilad said...

Saved

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

Only a yellow... that was a denying a goalscoring opportunity



Bury Wazz.... SAVED!!

10:21 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BLOODY HELL . BOGDAN SAVES THE PENALTY FROM ROON.

10:22 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Great save though

10:22 AM

Goal at WHL... for WOLVES

10:22 AM  
Blogger Chelskilad said...

Wolves 1 0 up

10:22 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It was a great save, but will this miss comer back to cost us and Zat Knight should have been sent off. Will that cost us?

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

That should have been a red and a goal
But it is now a yellow and no goal

10:23 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That will really help us if we can take advantage of that score.

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

Blackburn are down to ten.. Yak has been sent off for nothing apparently

10:24 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Well wide buy United reject, Chris Eagles.

10:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Hammers take the lead at Fratton Park

10:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Miles over by Roon after a great cross by Valencia and a great knock down by Roon.

10:25 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Scholes finally shoots and its high and wide, but better than any of Roon's efforts.

10:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bogdan does well to tip a Welbeck shot around the post.

10:27 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

United take a short corner and Bogdan easily catches the cross.

10:28 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Da Prado puts Sotton in the lead at Forest.

Only two goals in the prem

10:31 AM

Mignolet does well to save a free kick from Lampard.

10:31 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

i am not a happy chappy again!!

10:31 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A header from Torres was blocked with the keeper well out of position.

Me neither.

If you're still there Bruv.. I just sent you a picture

10:33 AM

Now Rio commits a clumsy foul just outside the box.

10:33 AM

Luckily , the free kick went into the wall. Charlie Nicholas agrees with me.

Free kick chance for United.. Nani to take so nothing will come from it... no it was Roon but easy save

10:38 AM

10:40 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree UWS. So few goals that Jeff is giving scores from the Scottish Third Division.

10:41 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nani hits it too hard to Roon... I know Bob likes him but he just annoys me EVERY WEEK!

10:41 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Who will take the next United penalty?

Roon has missed at least two in a row

10:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree with both you and Bob.Nani is an exciting player , but you never know whether he will do something brilliant or something that will drive you absolutely bonkers.

10:43 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hopeless by Roon... clueless.... SORT IT OUT FERGIE.... this team is walking!

10:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am not sure. I guess Scholes or Valencia to take the next United penalty.

10:44 AM

CAN YOU ADAM AND EVE IT AS SCHOLES COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT AS SCHOLES SCORES OFF S PASS FROM ROON.

10:46 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

PAUL SCHOLES SCORES GOALS!!!!

10:46 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Phew.... not very impressive... almost the last kick of the half.... Still not too happy

10:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

You were correct . Scholes coming out of retirement was the correct idea and Roon finally did something right with that assist . United lead 1-0 at the half.

10:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now four EPL goals.

10:48 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am a little upset that SS is ahead of my ipad

I knew the goal was going to happen because Phil Thompson yelled out


Palace down to ten men.. good news for Belize Boy

10:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Palace down to ten men as Scannell was sent off for a second yellow for Palace. Silly according to Tony Cotteee.That should help Leeds in the second half.

10:49 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

10 men Blackburn score at the end of the half

10:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Pedersen gives ten men Blackburn the lead off a free kick with virtually the last kick of the half.

10:50 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The officials are booed at the half for sending off Yak for a waist high challenge. For once Steve keane is not booed.

10:51 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

We are in need of another 8 goals to go top


Rooney has missed four out of last eight penalties.. NOT GOOD

It gets worse for Forest As Luke Chambers was sent off. It was harsh according to Dickie Davies.

11:11 AM

Forest are now down to ten men and losing at home to Sotton...of course... it hasn't hurt Blackburn at all

11:12 AM

I think the Dahlgrens hate Spurs because one is a Gunners fan.
