No More Slip Ups United!
It's a different Monday, but the same message:
UNITED MUST WIN , NO EXPCEPTIONS, NO EXCUSES!
We cannot have a repeat of that fiasco that occurred on SAF's 70th birthday. Come join us to see if United come into this match focused, ready to do the business so that they can collect what should be an easy three poiiunts at Ewood Park.That picture is a reminder of what we don't want to happen and that the three points need to be earned.

Couldn't agree more... we must win this!
We have not done well at Ewood Park for years. I think we have won twice in 11 seasons.
Last year, we needed a late penalty to draw...and win the title). The previous season, United drew nil nil with no Rooney late in the season and we lost the title by one point... I AM NEVEROUS
I will be leaving school soon and be home for the kick off
Here are the teams
Blackburn: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Orr, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Marcus Olsson, Hoilett, Yakubu. Subs: Bunn, Dunn, Modeste, Formica, Petrovic, Rochina, Henley.
Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Jones, Valencia, Hernandez, Rooney. Subs: Amos, Giggs, Smalling, Park, Young, Welbeck, Pogba.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)
Rovers need something from this desparately as well. After all the teams below them bar Wolves winning, it they lose tonight they will be back in the drop zone. I thought they were almost safe a few weeks ago!
Here's the team news out of Ewood tonight:
Blackburn: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Orr, Pedersen, Nzonzi, Marcus Olsson, Hoilett, Yakubu. Subs: Bunn, Dunn, Modeste, Formica, Petrovic, Rochina, Henley.
Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Carrick, Scholes, Jones, Valencia, Hernández, Rooney. Subs: Amos, Giggs, Smalling, Park, Young, Welbeck, Pogba.
Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire).
Kick-off time! I've deleted my thread and we'll go with MUR's.
You erased the one I commented on again!!!
Here's the thread I'm on:
http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/116818/1/watch-blackburn-rovers-vs-manchester-united.html
Come on United... start fast!
Sorry, mate. One or the other had to go. I had to make an executive decision.
Opta Joe on Twitter: "1 - Of 'keepers with 10+ PL apps this season, David de Gea has the best saves-to-shots rate (79%), Paul Robinson the worst (55%). Contrast."
Where's my boy Nani?
Go through Valencia United
Tom just told me that he got a message on BookFace from Nick O'Neil saying he used to work with my dad and I was friends with his kids... could it be?
He's still hurt... injured during training
Bloody hell Hernandez... should have scored!!
Is he hurt or acting because he missed it
Oh - Chicha was in there from a great thru ball from Roon. He's down injured now. Oh dear.
Roon is playing too deep and left
Yeah - I've been a FB with Nick for quite some time. He's a top bloke. Very complimentary about us and his time at LHS.
I've been trying to make contact through him with Tina - no luck so far. She doesn't want to be find, I guess.
Roon should have done better there... COME ON... SCORE
Interesting
United trying too much long ball for my liking
Shoot RAFA!!!
Great pass by
WHAT HAPPENED THERE... OFF THE POST!!
THOUGHT IT WENT IN!
Oh - United are all over poor Blackburn now. Rafa and then Chicha had big chances.
Good start and pleased with the pace but we need to score
Very unlucky by Hernandez...
Wouldn't it be lovely to win the title at the Etihad!!
I really thought Chicha had scored as well.
Why is Rooney so deep!!
Surprising comments from Mancini.
I agre... but keep talking Roberto
Come on United!
I've seen this before... started fast... don't score or score one... and then let the other team back in
Nice save by De Gea
He has had some nice saves lately
Shut it Macca
There's our left winger... Rooney receiving the ball!!
I wanted a goal before this!!!
Blackburn are barely trying to get out of their half. Come on - you beat this lot at Old Trafford!
I guess United don't have a left winger except Rooney!
Shut it Dahlgren!!!
I'm just saying....
2018:
The United fans are doing all the singing at Ewood Park too. They have already chanted their "appreciation" for Patrick Vieira, a title rival as a player at Arsenal and now as an executive at Manchester City. More of that to come, I think.
Well... stop just saying or I will visit you in the small hours of the night and stick a bat up your nightdress
United have slowed down and it going to be a struggle all night!!
I KNEW IT
Great United following there
Not liking it at the moment!
Get in the box ROONEY!
Good afternoon,UWS. How are you this Monday?
I'll take a five goal second half like at Wolves
Good afternoon, BD. How have you been this Monday?
I guess United didn't score five in the second half.. We did that once
I see that it is 0-0.
Afternoon MUR, a good start but we've started to play the same way and I could see us struggling
A slight knock for the Yak after clashing with Rovers Old boy, Phil Jones.
30 minutes in.. United have a corner
weak shot by Evans
Olsson headed out for a corner abd Robbo saved comfortably from Jonny Evans.
Thanks for the update,UWS. I hope we do better.
Rovers have the Olsson twins playing for them
Shame the De Silva twins aren't both playing
When was the last time... if ever... have two sets of twins played against each other?
I am not sure , but that would be extremely rare.
Again.. Roon is too deep... why isn't anyone else complaining!
ooh, Jones misses a header.. should have hit the target
Great build up by United that ended up with Jones heading well wide from a cross by Valencia.
Come on United.. the crossing has been atrocious!
I agree. I don't like Roon playing deep, but it must be part of the more conservative United approach.
Afternoon, MUR - great to hear from you. Thanks for posting the thread.
Blackburn frustrating United so far, but is a point really enough for them?
Roberto Martinez is scouting what must be relegation, local derby pointer
ooh, almost in for Hernandez... I want a goal
We have Wigan midweek next week
I was glad to do it, BD. They are frustrating us, but hopefully we will break the deadlock soon.Great to hear from you too.
Stop the long passing!!!
This game is going exactly how I didn't want it to go
That would explain it.That is a must win too, but first this fixture.
Valencai in the book.. it was a foul but not a card!
I feel the same way. I will take a 0-1 United win at this pint in the season.
Awful free kick from Pederson
I agree. It seemed minor , but picky Webb begged to differ.
Useless cross again from Rafa
HAND BALL... NOT GIVEN!
Raffa wins a corner off of Scott Dann. was that hand ball?
No.. never a pen
Webbie needs to start wearing contact lenses!
United are now beginning to stink it up!
It has been this way all season.. HOW ARE TOP!!!!
Shoot it Roon
Useless pass from Roon to ruin a good possession.
Useless again by Roon
A draw is not good enough tonight!!!
GREAT SAVE DE GEA!!
Phew!
Great save by De Gea from Olsson.
Another superb save by De Gea off the corner.
Well done David... and another one
WE ARE JUST GIVING ROVERS BELIEF!!
Half time
United are not playing well enough!!
The next corner fails to beat the first man and Webbie blows thew halftime whistle. It is 0-0 from Ewood Park.
Half-time, then. Fergie won't be happy with that at all. United should be 2 or 3 up at this point with perhaps a Blackburn response there at the death. 2-1? 3-1? That would be fair.
Off to set up my class.
I would bring off Rafa, move Jones to right back and bring on either Welbeck or Young... we need someone else besides Rooney on the left wing
And we're off from Ewood Park.
COME ON UNITED! SCORE!
Cheers BD. Enjoy the class. I agree, UWS. You are a master tactician.
We're off
Why are they showing something in the tunnel.. huh?
Apparently, SAF disagrees with me
United starts slow again.. .so much for the hair dryer from Fergie
We are just giving Blackburn and Citeh hope!
I would probably bring on Young with the understanding that his crossing is better than it was vs Fulham.
Is the hair dyer on the fritz?
Headed well wide by Scott Dann.
The crossing could get much worse than tonight
A cross comes in... no one there... ROONEY IS TOO DEEP
Rooney miscontrols... useless again
Not the best cross from Valencia.
Great cross by Jones.. well defended
I really don't know our formation.. Jones crossed it from the right with Valencia and Rafa there too.. who's on the left
Just over by Roon from long range.
Come on fans... suck one in
United look toothless
I tihnk Evra is supplying the crosses from the left whenevr he can get forward.
That was poor control from what looked like Hernandez.If Young came on he could cross from the left with Valencia from the right.
That was nasty... leg and elbow
United have a free kick in a great position after Grant Hanley was booked for a clumsy foul on Scholes.
ho-hum free kick from Rooney
Great save from Robbo off the free kick , but a poor United corner.
To your point.. Evra sucks at crossing!
What position is Rooney.. does he want to be a Scholes?
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
I am surprised that Rafa is getting a game after his display for the third goal against Bilbao
Hernandez should have done better there
My link keeps on buggering and I missed the last minute of action.
COME ON UNITED
Bloody hell Carrick!!
KNOCK IT OFF
Keep it up Yak
sAF MUST HAVE BEEN EXPECTING AN ESIER GAME TONIGHT OR WANTED TO FORGET HIS 70TH BDAY.
Yak gets another chance... COME ON UNITED!
My link buggered again. I see the replay. Good job, Yak.
"Can Manchester United score? They always score"
They are playing like Unitired instaead of United.
Scholes called for a foul.. he got all ball
Welbeck on for Hernandez.. not my choice!
Scholes gives it to Webbie. It looked like a trip on Yak. Why is he complaining?
Welbeck for Hernandez. I agree. We should take off Raffa or evra.
Free kick goes right through the wall and De Gea saves and the rebound is cleared
Ball in the net but the ball called for over the byline before Rovers put the ball in
KNOCK IT OFF UNITED!
PHEW!! De Gea spilled the free kick and United cleared.
I agree.
WAKE UP UNITED!
Jones is replaced by Giggs.. not sure about that one either!!
Macca thinks he got a knock
Giggs for Jones. Why did he take off Jones, who was having a pretty good match?
Useless control by Welbeck.
United are trying to many cute passes... Evra is our left wing... don't get it Fergie
USELESS CROSS BY HIM TOO
Great call by the linesman. WELL DONE!
Less than 25 minutes.. again.. NOT GOOD ENOUGH FROM UNITED
United get progressively worse during the game
We may have have 61% of the second half possession, but have doen naught with it. A useless stat.
Nice by Evra but fails to cross it!!!!
Get it over quicker Ryan!!!
Better from Evra who won a corner after a greAT twist and turn,
Some whack by Carrick across the box
More United pressure, but Rovers clear every corss.
I want to see Young on
Headed well wide by Carrick from the corner taken by Giggs.
Neutrals.... not Macca
Useless by Giggs
I don't think Young will come on because SAF brought Giggs on to play that role. He is on the left and Valencia on the right.
20 minutes to go
COME ON UNITED
This is why I was nervous today
SHUT IT MACCA!HOW ABOUT SOME MASKING TAPE?
I agree. I am not comfortable today.
He could always take off Rafa and have Valencia move back but still overlap
Junior Hoilett fouls Welbeck just outside the box.
That a made mistake but then a useless cross by Roon
Useless free kick.
United are hopeless at corners
Valencia whacks the ball right int he noggin by Valencia
I agree. Valencia can play right back so that would work.
Useless pass by Scholes
Pedersen is down with what appears to be cramp.
Why can't we win at Ewood
No one to win it in the box!!
It has been a frustrating venue for United. I don't know why.
United pass to nowhere and then Giggs tries to cross
SHOOT IT EVRA
I really don't rate Evra anymore... I don't think he can kick the ball well enough!
SHOOT IT WELBECK!
Nice cross from Giggs.. no one there
Soory. That was Evra.
SHOOT THE BALL GIGGS!!!!!!!!!!
Struth.. YAK almost in!! Well done Rio
Blackburn have created the better chances
My link keeps papusing so I missed the last two incidents.
Useless by Rooney
Young about to come on for Scholes
Giggs will go center and Young to the left
It sure seems that way. United have been poor tonight. Simply not good enough.
Now Rovers are pressuring more
Under 12 to go.. .there is the change
He should replace Raffa instead of Scholes unless Scholes is winded.
7 goals in 12 appearances against Rovers for Young
As UWS stated it's Young for Scholes.
It's been all season mate.. how are we top?
More of the same , Young!
I guess we suck less than the other teams.
United look clueless
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VALENCIA!!!!
WHAT A CRACKER!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! 0-1 UNITED AS VALENCIA SCORES WITH A GREAt finish from a narrow angle.
FROM THE LINE ON THE SIDE OF THE PENALTY AREA.. SIDE NETTING!!
KEEP IT TIGHT
A superb goal, possibly goal of the season. That is why we are top. We play crap for 80 minutes then one moment of brilliance wins the match.
Welbeck gets yelled at by Fergie and Roon
Fans sounding good
WE NEED ANOTHER ONE... TWO ACTUALLY
i WILL TAKE THIS SCORE. iT WILL PUT US FIVE POINTS CLEAR OF cITEH.
I know that is why we are top but it is not the United way!
Fans cheering
"WE'RE GOING TO WIN THE LEAGUE"
Beat QPR and it would be EIGHT
I agree, UWS. We need to go back to what we have done over the years.
YES!!!!!!!!
ASHLEY YOUNG!!!
GREAT FINISH!!
Made by Valencia
I agree. We need to beat the evil minnions of Qpr on Sunday. I would love to see an eight goal win on Sunday.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! 0-2 UNITED!A SUPERB FINISH BY ASHLEY YOUNG!
oooh Pederson with a shot... wide
Useless shot by Pedersen. Keep it up.
Now I feel beeter; more like relieved.
