As I was posting the blog
Sunderland double their lead at St James' Park with a cool finish by Adam Johnson.
Sunderland have scored two goals in the second half. Newcastle had a goal called back by a very close offside decision.
Newcastle's late winner against Fulham put them in a much better position... this will do the same for Sunderland.
Pressure on STOKE!!
Teams posted for the Prem battle
Stoke: Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Huth, Wilkinson; Shotton, Whelan, Nzonzi, Adam, Walters; Jones
Subs: Sorensen, Palacios, Owen, Whitehead, Kightly, Crouch, Jerome
Manchester United: De Gea, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Kagawa, Carrick, Valencia, Rooney, Hernández, Van Persie
Subs: Lindegaard, Evans, Giggs, Smalling, Welbeck, Cleverley, Buttner
Attacking line put out by SAF... I REALLY hope United can give Stoke a thumping.
A loss of any points will put a seed of doubt in United's title push
ten to go at SJP
As the table stands
Sunderland will be up to 15th on 34 points ... same as Stoke and Villa
One behind Norwich and two above Newcastle
GOAL... MAKE THAT THREE NIL
ALl the goals have been impressive
Upper ninety!!!
I take it back
Sunderland did score their first in the first half
A minute into 6 added minutes
Krul was hurt during this half
It's Desmond at Hampden Park in the second Scottish Cup Semi Final between Dundee United and Celtic
That old stadium has sure seen some goals this weekend
4-3 and 2-2 and counting
Sunderland have wrapped up their victory
3-0... quite a thumping
Come on FSC.. get off your damn commercials and get to the match!
DICanio celebrating with the fans at SJP
Fans high in the stands but they are loving it
Teams shown coming out of the tunnel
This is a vital game for United
Again, United have Chelsea and Arsenal as part of their run in
United need 10 possibly 9 points to win the league
SToke A
West Ham A
Villa H
Arsenal A
Chelsea H
Swansea H
West Brom A
I want three straight wins and United could win the league by next Monday night against Villa
Morning, UWS - thanks for posting the thread this morning. I had a late night out and needed a bit of a lie-in.
Morning BD
Im nervous
I want a couple of early goals
A goal late in the half and take a three nil win to the break
I agree with you - three straight wins and you're just about there before you hit the tough end of your schedule.
I agree with you - three straight wins and you're just about there before you hit the tough end of your schedule.
Away we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Paolo enjoying himself after that win for Sunderland. Great goal from Adam Johnson.
Kick off time - come on, you Blues?
I want a good start here
United can't keep possession in the first minute!
That was a real big win for your lot yesterday
VITAL!!
Hope my lot can do the same
I like the look of this line-up. Roon behind the front two. Surely some goals there.
United can't get the ball out their half
Yeah - I really was. I don't fancy three of our last four fixtures.
I hope so
That is where Rooney wants to play. He hardly gets in the box
Who do you play?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CARRICK!!!!
A SCRAMBLE BUT WHO CARES!!
GOAL! A bit jammy but they all count. Carrick, I think, toe pokes it home.
0-1!
BUILD ON IT!!!!
That should settle the nerves, alright.
3 minutes in
This is where THIS United side don't go for the jugular
WE NEED TOO
Tony Pulis already muttering to himself.
Wow - 21 goals from set pieces - are you Stoke City in disguise?
Rooney is playing like Scholes
I think that is where he wants to play so play him there
He will run back and defend and he can score from deep
Second corner
Told you... we suck!
Definitely - stick the knife in. Another corner chance.
Evra got free - but skied his effort.
I agree - now that you have some proper out and out strikers, you can afford to let Roon play in the hole.
I don't want United to sit back and win this one 1 nil
That is how this team is though!
Who do Leeds play to end the season?
You guys are all the way up to 11th but still only 6 points off the drop
Almost all the teams have 4 to go
It's Burnley away on Tuesday - don't fancy it. Then Huddersfield at home next weekend. That must be winnable. Then Brum and Brighton. Don't fancy either of those. Let's hope 58 points is enough.
Yeah - it's weird. The team in 20th has 49 and could still end up with 61 points theoretically.
Come on United... attack
Decent effort by Roon
A rocket from Roon parried away by Begovic.
I think one win will do it for you
Would you fancy Begovic as United's #1?
United get another corner
COME ON... Double the lead
Atrocious corner by RVP
I don't think we need him
I think De Gea has settled and could be there for a while and get better
Bloody Hell
It's 3-3 at Hampden Park to answer yesterday 4-3
What are the Stoke fans applauding?
Come on United
ATTACK
Shawcroft... MUFC Academy
I was wondering that
Something like the Villa applauding Petrovic?
A long throw gets cleared and then a scuffed shot Valencia should have let go for a throw in!
United's defense deal with the silly long throw the way it should be dealt with - with derision. Cleared out easily.
Must be something like that - but the commentators didn't notice it or mention it.
Decent header by Stoke
Wide
come on United
United letting City back in this...AGAIN!!!
Why not go forward with the free kick!!!!
I fear this game is going like almost all the other ones!!!
Useless corner by Roon
Rooney with a shallow corner.
Good morning UWs and BD. I was at MacDonald's doing volunteer work for NJHS at my daughter's school. I am pleased to see United leading
Gale force winds at the Brittania
Morning MUR
A nice early goal but United are starting to play like normal.... holding on for the whole match!
An Ambitious chip from RVP from the halfway line after dispossessing Charlie Adam. Not even close.
Valencia cannot beat anyone this season
Roon passes to him and he gets stuffed
Morning, Mr. McMuffin - good to have you on board, mate.
BUGGER! SUNDERLAND WON AT SJP.That does put pressure on Stoke.
Cheers mate. We bought pancake tickets and I scarfed them down while the computer was warming up
Come on United
START PLAYING AGAIN
There were three shifts to choose from , so I figured that the Geordie would be the best match to miss out of the three today
That Sunderland win has Newcastle right back in the relegation dogfight. The wild card is that Wigan in 18th have two matches in hand. Win both and they're on 37 points - above Newcastle now!
On top since November 24th... still fed up with them
It's 3-3 between Dundee United and Celtic in the other Scottish Cup Semi.What's with all the goals in the Scottish Cup semis
Carrick's goal was a corker... upper 90 from 30 yards out!!
Okay... a toe poke from three yards!
Never a pen. Charlie Adam lost his balance.
It has gone to extra time north of the border
Both semis... 3-3
I still would like to see it. We win and we need only seven more points.
Useless cross by Kags.... United don't know how to put a ball in the box!
I've got another faculty/student footie tournament next Sunday. Trying to figure out if I have time to attend the kick-about practice this afternoon.
The only problem Wigan has is that their next game in hand is vs Citeh. I expect them to get naught from that.
Crikey - what's in the water up in Scotland these days?
Arsenal ladies have fallen behind to Wolfsburg at home in the Women's Champions League Semi Final
Everything is covered on LOB... including golf
A wasted free kick from Roon and Chicha called for a high boot on Walters
Practice? You don't need any lousy stinkin practice
Don't need the golf updates, mate. Would rather watch the grass grow.
Terry Butcher about to start playing for Stoke
Yeah - we do; we really do.
Plonker
Andy Wilkinson getting some treatment after that boot to the face.
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Practice makes perfect!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Same old same old from United so far
Why aren't we going after teams
Who and whose army are calling me a plonker?
Plonker for not liking golf
You mean you don't want to play 18 after the Champions League Final
Efan says United need to be brilliantly consistent not consistently brilliant. I know that UWS will agree to disagree with that remark
Valencia with a foul
Boy has he been rubbish this year
Perhaps a game of miniature golf???
atrocious delivery from Adam... keep that up Charlie
Yeah - UWS - definitely give us some coverage of the mini golf.
I agree . Valencia does not deserve a BPL medal this year. He hasn't earned it.
It was well put by Efan
But United have to try and be just brilliant!
Valencia can't beat anyone!!!
I hear that there's a tiddlywinks tournament going on in Djibouti today as well. Updates?
Pure shite by Valencia as he slipped when trying to beat the left back
RVP has been invisible this half
Boy has he dropped in form!
I look up when the first Tiddly happens
I heard that Kevin James is a master of mini golf even though he's anything but mini.
Tiger should have been kicked out of the Masters... cheater!!!
Shawcross hacking away - typical MUFC Academy stuff.
United break
Hernandez gets pulled down on the break
Kagawa gets fouled
Roon or RVP?
EIther will miss
United easily defend the long throw from Shotton and Kagawa is fouled on the break. A cheap shot from Shawcross on Chicha on the break and SAF has every right to be furious.
Roon... hits one wide
not close
OH! Just wide by Roon on the free kick.
TIger should have to play with his Swedish model ex-wife chasing him round the course with a 5 iron in her hand.
Cheated on her
Cheated at the Masters
My response to Bob's statement is typical MUFC reject stuff ,not academy. He showed why he never once made a first team appearance for United, not even in the Carling Cup.SAF released him at the first opportunity
We're as bad as ONE NIL TO THE ARSENAL
well stated, Uws.
Wilkinson has reopened his head wound now. He'll need more treatment at the half.
Great block by Vidic from a bloody Wilkinson.Three minutes of stoppage time.
Dundee United hits the wood work
John Daly... who must have lost a lot of weight and quit golf... has scored two and then hit the woodwork
Vidic slices a poor Adam cross for a Stoke corner.
A minute into 3 added minutes and United giving Stoke belief
Really - Tiger was shagging on the first tee? Who with? I might actually start tuning in for that kind of action!
De Gea punches the corner from Adam, who wins a corner off of RVP.
Celtic take a 4-3 lead vs Dundee United in ET of the Scottish Cup Semi. Same score as the other, also in ET
Stoke look like a side about to be relegated.
Just been delivered a lovely plate of breakfast!
Halftime and one Nil to the United!
We reach the interval - 0-1 United. UWS not happy. Story of the season.
Half time and still not really good enough!
Celtic take a 4-3 lead
It's halftime of ET as Celtic lead 4-3
Exactly
Do you think I am being a plonker about United's performances?
Can't FSC get someone that can pronounce names properly?
Pele and Maradona both mispronounced!
1501:
BREAKING TEAM NEWS- Chelsea v Manchester City (1600 BST)
There's no David Silva for Manchester City, but Sergio Aguero starts. Costel Pantilimon starts in goal.
Paylay Maradoena
Here we go for the second half
COME ON UNITED!!!
The second half is underway.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
If I were Roberto I would put a full strength lineup out vs Chelsea. What has he to lose. The league is lost.
Valencia does run with the ball but fails to beat the man
Roon with an odd pass
LOL on the pronounciations.
I am rooting for Citeh today
I don't want Chelsea in another Cup Final
WIGAN FOR THE CUP!!
I surely picked them in the PPP
Matt did pick Dortmund! You did change that from my mistake Bob
GET INVOLVED
Bugsy via 81111: "Midfield is where manager Roy Hodgson needs to play Rooney in the England side."
I don't think you are being a plonker. United are getting the results, but they need to be more stylish.
There's no John Terry, Frank Lampard or Ashley Cole in the Chelsea starting XI as Demba Ba leads the line. It's an unchanged side from the win over Sunderland last week.
I want Chelsea to win as I picked them to win the cup in the PPP.Odd by Woy to put Roon in midfield. That's not his best position.
1511:
GET INVOLVED
Lokesh Sankar Rath: "What Wayne Rooney is doing today, Tom Cleverley can do. Rooney is not there to create chances, he's there to have it and score."
another good reason for Chelsea to lose today!!
JT is no longer a first choice and Ryan Bertrand is an able deputy for Cole. Lamps may come off the bench. I would favor Chelsea.
Celtic have won 4-3
Hibs v Celtic in the Final
Naughty UWS!
The Pope will be pleased!
That means Hibs qualifies for the EL so they can be eliminated by some European minnow in July!
Come on United
Play like you did against Arsenal in the 8-2!!!
Always like referencing that match!
Bugger.. RVP hits the side netting
RVP shoots into the side netting off a great pass from Chicha.
very true about Hibs
I don't blame you.
I think United have had two shots on target
The goal and Rooney's effort straight at Berk
The Pope will be pleased about the teams in the Scottish Cup Final.
Walters should have scored there!
WHY ARE UNITED LETTING THEM BACK IN!!
ANOTHER ONE NIL NAILBITER!
Fortunately for United, Stoke have created naught. Walters blazes over off a long cross that was headed down by Ryan Shotton.
United like to win ugly.
I am glad we are playing Stoke instead of Aldershot or else we would be three down by now.
Where's Dahlgren buggered off to?
That's why I don't like this squad
I heard that Stoke would be more creative if Pulis would get sacked and be replaced by a cockroach.
I wonder if he's talking to his dad.
A decent long range effort from Charlie Adam easily saved by De Gea.
Back from a refreshing shower. No - I don't think you're wrong to complain about United's lackluster performances. Just as long as you understand that there are 92 other sets of supporters who would gladly take your place.
GO FORWARD!!!!!!!!!!
I do have Matt picking Dortmund. There was also one person who picked Barca. Everyone else still in has Real Madrid in the CL.
Welcome back, Bob. I need to take Jacquelyn to Bat Mitzvah lessons. I will be back soon.
No points for anyone in the Europa League this season. Everyone's out. Probably the hardest competition to predict.
I picked Chelsea in the Cup.
I see what you mean but ... it isn't good enough really
Well... this season it is good enough for the title but not for me
Valencia would rather give the ball to Jones to beat the fullback!!
Useless pass by Rooney but United get a free kick
SCORE A GOAL PLEASE UNITED!!!!!!
Useless free kick
United are boring me
Stoke need a goal. They have one of the finest goalscorers in English domestic football history on the bench. Am I missing something?
Great break.... PENALTY!!
RVP TO TAKE???
STONEWALL!!!
United not so boring now - RVP draws a penalty from Headwound Wilkinson. It's his chance to notch another.
Please Robin....wind blows it off the spot...YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Scores! His 20th! And he immediately runs over to hug Fergie.
0-2!
Great pen
Great to see him score again
How many is he behind Suarez?
Great pen
Great to see him score again
How many is he behind Suarez?
Apparently the United fans do not want to be moved to another section. Not sure why....
He's two behind Suarez - he's on 22.
Fifteen points clear again... six or seven points needed
Nice one... they shall not be moved!
