Hi MUR - you beat me to the punch with your post this afternoon. Fergie will need to kiss Peter Crouch on the forehead for that wonder goal on Saturday - that is, if he can reach him!
I'll be in and out as usual today.

Good afternoon, BD. I will be in and out too thanks to STAAR testing. It is nearly 2 PM and we have bnot been released for lunch. I bet the match starts before lunch. I have had the same students for three and a half hours.
My friend who is hosting me and Cal in London was emailing me from the train to Manchester a few hours ago . . . she will be rooting for Fulham today.
I wish you and Cal a safe trip and much success at Upton Park, but hope your friend sees her Cottagres at the end of a thrashing.
This seems to be working:

Afternoon, gents. Teams are coming out of the tunnel.
Hi Guys,
I walk in the door as the kick off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Afternoon, UWS!
Wish we could have got a shot off early doors!
Good afternoon BD and UWS. my students have still not gone to lunch. I ill wait to go on to the link until lunch begins.
Rooney have different color boots on
Surprised Hernandez isn't playing after his two in the last game
No their not Ian... we have a point just by kick off
I want an early goal!!!
THEY'RE not!!
I am going to slow down... I am screwing up a lot my grammar!!!
Nice idea from Roon but useless pass.. i like the pace so far
WHY DID WE LOSE AT HOME TO ROVERS!!!!!!!!!
Old Trafford sounds loud... like to hear it
Huge shout of "man on!" from the OT crowd. Luv it!
Decent move by United... Giggs heads to goal.. easy save
Hello UWS. My students finally went to lunch.
First half-chance falls to Giggsy's head. Straight at the keeper.
That's what made me think how loud OT is
Afternoon BD
Bit late for lunch, in't it, MUR?
I will be around for all but the last fifteen minutes due to the revised bell schedule.
Great pass by Roon... shoot it quicker Welbeck!
It's thanks to the Bloody STAAR test.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
TIME TO SCORE A GOAL!
Knock it off Clint!!!
Corner to Fulham
Clint earns a corner there for Fulham.
cool pictures from a blimp of OT
Clint has shot deflected off of Carrick for a corner.
I loved that picture.
There's a special circle of hell reserved for the developers of those tests.
KNOCK IT OFF FULHAM!!
United finally halt that Fulham attack.Why are they playing at a snail's pace?
United need to get a move on and swamp the goals up
Bad pass by Roon... Young saves it but comes to nothing
COME ON UNITED!!
They already have a foot there,especially with their fifty million testing rules.
It wasn't the best ball from Carrick to Roon.
United scored five at Craven Cottage in December
Miles wide by Dembele.
KNOCK IT OFF FULHAM!
WAKE UP UNITED!
I don't just want United to win but I want them to win in style to pile the pressure on Citeh
Not liking the last five minutes or so... COME ON UNITED!
Me either. Why is United starting so poorly.I am expecting a massive United victory too.
Decent effort by Dempsey... again... knock it off Clint
Clint shot straight at De Gea while United gave him all the time in the world.
They started well but have fallen off
I'd take Dempsey at United
Shoot quicker Ashley!!
What was that from Carrick?
Me too. Why is Ian trying to start rumors that he's on his way to Liverpool?
Useless by Roon... his control has been terrible, his passing has been terrible
COME WAZZA
Useless by Roon as United won the ball in midfield.
Fulham look a bit dangerous - what's going on?
Good save by De Gea from Clint after great work by Dembwele and Frei.
A nice fine save by De Gea... from Dempsey again
Let's hope a goal will make them knock it off
Clint , Dembele,and Frei have had better matches than any United player.
A quarter into the match.. not too happy
Useless by Young
BLOODY HELL ASHLEY! That's too poor to be called useless.
Aaron Hughes clears oiut for a CORNER DESPITE A USELESS PASS FROM yOUNG.
Young's corner doesn't beat the first man
COME ON YOUNG!!
USELESS
The corne is headed away, but United finally mount ssome pressure.
Dembele fouls Young just outside the box.
The United crossing has been poor and smacking of desperation.
oooh, nice run by Valencia... I was just going to say to get the ball to him more than Young
Schwarzer punches a cross from Young,then Valencia, with great foot work has a shot deflect off of Hughes to Schwarzer.
Young takes a short corner , probably because he can't take them long.
Giggs finally gets it over and Evra tries to do a Roon... weak effort
The bicycle kick by Evra went wide and Schwarzer probably would have saved it had it been on target.
The bicycle kick by Evra went wide and Schwarzer probably would have saved it had it been on target.
Raffa straight to Schwarzer off a great pass from Valencia.
Giggs is booked for a late, rash tackle on Demble
A wek shot by Welbeck off a great United break is sttraight to Schwarzer.
Just sent some pictures from Tony of Lakeneath and my dad's plaque by his tree
Play is stopped as there was a clash of heads bewtween Jonny Evans and Pav Pogs
Thanks UWS. I will look at those.
I am not a happy chappy
Useless pass from Roon , but United continue the pressure.
I am unhappy too.
Again... corner doesn't beat the first man
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROOOOOONEY!!!!
Evans knocks it back for Roon
COME ON ..... GET ANOTHER
Another corner from Young fails to clear the first man.
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
1-0 UNITED AS ROON SCORES FROM CLOSE RANGE THANKS TO A DEFENSIVE ERRO FROM RISSE AND EVANS LAID ON A PLATE FOR ROON.
SCORE ANOTHER UNITED!
I WANT MORE GOALS!!!!
Why did Ian Darke say that Roon has been in sparkling form for United?
I have no idea.. do we not know what we're talking about?
Valencia is dangerous again
off the post by Young but called off side.. he was
Into stoppage time and Young is offside from a great through ball. He failed to beat Schwarzer.
Two minutes off stoppage time, so one minute remaining.
The BBC says that United don't deserve to be ahead on the balance of play... I don't agree with that!
Fulham could have scored there
Half time but I want more!
PHEW! I thought Pav Pogs was through then United blocked a shot fropm Kelly.
I'm back from advising a couple of students and notice that United are 1-0 up through Roon coming to the end of the half. You have to be pleased. You're now three points up and only three goals back on GD.
Halftime and 1-0 to United.
I think we deserve our lead even though we can play much better than we did in the first half.
http://www.sporcle.com/games/manonthemoon/premierleague
I was hopeless!!
United go close.. great pass by Giggs to Valencia
We need to get another goal!
Nice passing by United... a little too much in my book
Me thinks it's time for Hernandez SAF... COME ON !!!
Welbeck hasn't had too much joy today
BRING ON Javier!!
Shoot GiGGS!!
United passing it around but not really going any where.
Hernandez comes on.... replacing Welbeck.
Just under 30 minutes to go
United playing too slow for my liking
SPEED UP
Breaking News
Inter Milan have sacked Claudio Ranieri after a run of only one win in their last 10 matches... and getting knocked out of the CL
This performance is not really putting down a marker to Citeh!!!
United have not been dangerous down the left with Young and Evra even though the ball is going there too much... USE VALENCIA
A weak shot but Roon and then Giggs.
Valencia didn't do too well there either
Hello UWS. I apologize foro my absence. My room was taken over by another teacher during my conference period due to state testing. I will be around for about five more minutes before my last class begins.
Giggs next goal at OT will be his 50th at OT... Ian gave a list of players... surely Charlton would be on that list!
I guess it is still 1-0. I recorded the match, assuming that something like this would happen.
No troubs... didn't miss much
Still not happy
Still 1-0
I would think that Best , Charlton, and Law would be on that list.
Apparently, OT didn't exist before the Premier League
I signed out of the link so as not to distract the students.
Don't even think about it Murphy
MORE too much passing by United
Rooney looks clueless!
Why are Untied up for this match... PUT CITEH IN THEIR PLACE
Rio coming off for Smaling... hope he is okay
Great volley by Young.. two rebounds don't go in either.... BUGGER
WHY DO KEEPERS PLAY BLINDERS AT OLD TRAFFORD
Struth... Dempsey almost in there!!
COME ON UNITED!
United giving too many chances at the back!
Just over 10 minutes to go
Scholes is coming on fro ROONEY!!
When does he ever come on?
Very defensive move by SAF
Cross comes over to Evra in the box... don't know why he is there... he dummies to NO ONE
United's home form this season has been hopeless!!
Hopeless attempt by Hernandez this time
I am very upset
Nice clearance by De Gea
Evra can't kick the ball!!!!!
Terrible pass by Hernandez lets Demps break and he gets a free kick... dangerous position at the side of the box
punches out again... still attacking Fulham
COME ON UNITED
United break but a useless cross by Hernandez
HE THEN CAN'T DRIBBLE THE BALL!!
What is up with United??
They have one game per week to worry about it... they should be WALKING IT!
Problem is... they are "walking' It
Under 5 to go plus stoppages
I agree with Macca.. they don't need to keep the ball and defend... attack
Hello UWS. Is it still 1-0? Theother teacher was assigned to my room this period, but I sent him to talk to the assistant principal and he nvere returned. My students are taking a quiz.
This will be a tonic to Citeh... DISGUSTED!
United almost in but still depressing
Welcome back MUR
STRUTH... I THINK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A PENALTY
MURPHY GOES DOWN... PHEW
I think it might have been!
PATRICE EVRA HAS BEEN PATHETIC!!
ANother chance blown!
Just gone into 3 added minutes
Thanks UWS. I am not on the link, but will follow your updates. It has been a really crazy day.
Not much of a touch on the foot but I can see why people think it was a pen
Demps almost goes through... United struggle to clear
Another opportunity for Fulham to get a free kick in
Useless free kick by Fulham but a useless clearance from United too!
Free kick to United... under a minute
This is just not good enough Sir Alex
Another chance for Fulham.. three minutes are up... long throw for Fulham... cleared... the whistle blows
Untied are three points up
The only good thing to come out of this match is that we will be three points clear of Citeh . It's a lot like last season.
PHEW!!! United hold on to win 1-0, but should be thrashing teams like Fulham.
I know United won and three points up but Citeh will get a boost from this
United have an "easy' run-in but if they play like this, they will lose to Blackburn if they play like this!
Top of the heap... but not happy
Take care boys
TTFN
As usual, it's not about the performance as much as it is the result for Fergie. Three more points and you lot are still top of the heap.
Just read this on the Guardian website.... didn't know we were doing that well!!
Well, a far from vintage United performance, but then how many times have we said that this season? They've still racked up 10 points more than they had after 30 games last year. And will probably win the title
