Good afternoon, BD. I had read about that this morning and wondered what you r reaction would be.I was never really impressed with her.
I am ready to call the engravers if we win today and if we do then we could clinch the title a week from Wednesday at Upton Park.
The players are out on the pitch and it's time for the coin toss.SAF is signing autographs.
The match is underway.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Old Man Giggsy is called for a foul on Tev
Afternoon, MUR - quite a different atmosphere at OT to yesterday's garden party at Shite Fart Lane. This crowd sounds like they're up for it.
Wellie headed straight at Hart with the first chance of the match then Citeh attacked and it was cleared
A cros from Milner intended for Silva was cut out by Raffa for a Citeh corner and United counter , but Wellie coughs it up
I am home two minutes in
BLOODY HELL WELBECK... PASS IT OFF
De Gea pushes away a cross and United counter.Poor cross by Evra.
End to end stuff!
Good afternoon lads.Welcome home,uWS.
A fast and furious start to this Derby.
I was listening to Five Live on the way home... it was loud in the stands
Afternoon, UWS - great timing, mate!
Hello BD. My volume does not work at school, but I would imagine the noise is deafening at OT. No crumpets and tea at this match
Cracking atmosphere - and end to end action. What the Premiership is all about!
Nice long ball from Young to ROON. SHOOT THE DAMN BALL!
The prawn sandwich brigade have apparently stayed at home today. This is real pie and pint stuff.
On 5Live, they were talking about this United squad.
Someone said that only Vidic would be in the best squad ever
Maybe Giggs too
I am sure UWS is mouning the loss of Maggie.Your thoughts?
That sounds about right, UWS. I agree, BD. It couldn't be anything but pints and pie in this fixture.
Not Nani? Surely he should be included. He's a lovely lad!
Oh - just wide from RVP!
OH! jUST WIDE BY rvp AS rOON DID WELL TO TURN AND FIND him .
Nice bottom movement by RVP... hits it wide
Wellie wins a corner off of Nasri
The corner from Giggs is headed away
Nani may be in the best Barnsley squad ever, but definitely not United
Giggs called for a push on LUFC Academy Boy
Stupid foul by Evra
Now Evra is called for a foul
The free kick from Silva is straight to De Gea. An easy catch
Cross it, Danny!
Poor lay off by Roon after a great United possession
A let off for United as a great Citeh cross was not properly met and United had a chance to counter.
It has been end to end but not too much quality
Rafa too heavy of a touch when there was a chance to break
OH ! Rio stuck out a leg to prevent a shpt from Tev as it went out for a corner.
Nice trap LUFC Academy Boy
The corner from LUFC Academy Boy was headed straight back to him and a poor touch went out for a United throw. Did he learn that at ER?
He must have learned that at the LUFC school of trapping.
Don't know what you're talking about.
You must have missed the comical routine at the last Citeh corner.
Oh - Silva found a bit of space and squared it back in. That's where they're missing a Balo or Dzeko.
Bloody Hell that was close!
Citeh are on top and creating more
A lay off by Silva was cut out as that could have been a clear cut Citeh chance.
oh.. he knows!
Balo would be busy misbehaving in the train loo.
United waste a break again
RVP shoots and gets blocked
Some really good stuff being played but both sides are quite evenly balanced at the moment.
I think Citeh have been the slightly better side. I am concerned.
I'd put my LUFC Academy side up against anyone's.
Giggs sets up Nasri... useless... thank you
Shot over by Nasri off a deflected pass from Silva
Is that Frannie Lee sitting next to Paddy Viera?
LUFC Academy boy shoots weakly to De Gea.
You'd lose to United's
Butt, Giggs, Beckham, Neville, Neville and many more
United sitting too far back
Mike Summerbee
United's match at Upton Park will also be on ESPN2.
Current players only, mate - no retirees.
Hardly anyone leaves United
Citeh too far on the top for my liking
Thanks UWS. I didn't recognize him. I don't see how any team could beat one of our academy sides.
Silva gets a yellow for a handball there. Silly boy.
Who's in your academy side, then, MUR?
Silva booked for intentional hand ball. I have to bugger off as I have class starting. I will try to be around for the second half. Cheers lads.
YOUNG SUCKS
I'd have:
Paul Robinson, Sam Byram, Matt Kilgallon, Jonathan Woodgate, Ian Harte, Jonny Howson, Jamie Milner, Aaron Lennon, Alan Smith, Harry Kewell, Fab Delph.
Are you seriously beating that side?
Roon in the book
Woody has to be retired!
Smith plays for MK Dons!!!
Where the hell is Kewell?
Delph plays ten minutes for Villa!!
What's considered Academy
Woody's still playing at the heart of the Boro defense. Smithy's at MK Dons, Harry is back in Oz playing for Melbourne Victory.
The question is - who's on your side?
Players you greedy scum haven't bought. That is, you can't have bloody Wayne Rooney and RVP on your side, mate. I'll give you Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes. Who else you got - Jonathan Greening?
I want to see more of danger caused by United
Today is the date that the Dahlgren's watched Citeh lose to Arsenal and fall 8 points behind
8 behind on the 8th
We wanted 11 on the 11th but we lost to Wigan!!
again... United aim a corner to wee Evra
I'll help you out - you can have Danny Welbeck as well.
(Silence)
Well, what about Welbeck?
You guys didn't buy Kewell?
You guys didn't buy Kewell?
Rafa fails to get it over
United can't cross the ball at all!!!
Kompany in the book
That was a bit tasty from Kompany. Yellow.
Not a good free kick by Roon and then RVP hits row V
Nope - he's was with us from the age of 14.
What about the Brazilian twins - did you buy them? I don't know why I'm doing the work for you. Where's the Anorak gone?
Those tackles are baad in my book
I think it was a foul but no card
He went for the ball but Young moved it too fast
I read yesterday that he was going to be here for a quarter
Almost!
1 added minute
I'll take this result
I still don't like this side but they have lost 1 at home, 2 away and drawn 2 away
Get rid of Wazza!!
Half time!
I am back. Is it 0-0 at the half
I would have trouble naming a United Academy side based on current players. Probably Ben Foster, Wellie, Scholes, Giggs, O'Shea,The Little Neviller,Frazier Campbell. Not a full eleven but it's a start.
I will add Jonny Evans to the list as well as Robby Brady , currently playing at Hull City.Surely , there must be two more players to make eleven. Let's have a match!
I forgot about Phil Bardsley and Chris Eagles.Every player on that list is starting in the EPL or the Championship so lets have a match!
2057:
Opta Sports: "1 - The last away team to win a PL game at Old Trafford after going in 0-0 at HT were Arsenal (1-0) in September 2006. Distant."
Beckham is still playing so he is in
That trumps most anyone else
Thank you for your honesty, MUR. LUFC Academy Rules!
I want to see more from United this 45 minutes
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Away we go!
ESPN still have Sky's commentators on!
Great point, UWS. Robbie Brady and Roy Carroll, who is playing in Greece with Olympiakos can be on the subs bench.The second half is underway
I agree, UWS.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
United on the backfoot from the off
Citeh attack , but a foul is called on Tev to end an attack.
I am not liking that
I don't see how the LUFC Academy side can beat the MUFC Academy side I put out along with Beckham
Nice cross by RVP... no one there!
Welbeck blocked... nothing given
That's the second time Raffa has had a heavy touch. Has he been to the ER school of trapping?
We are back up and running. It's over three years since a side stopped Manchester United scoring at home in the league...
Never a penalty there.
That could have been a pen. Nice corner from Giggs punched out by Hart
The last one was Villa?Bob did you see the MUFC Academy side I put out? It's spread out over several comments and UWS added Beckham.
I still haven't heard the eleven academy players that you'd put out against us, lads. If you'd like to put old Goldenballs out on his own against our eleven, I'd pay to see that match!
GOAL! It had to be - LUFC ACADEMY!!!!!
One nil!
GIGGS' FAULT
I like to call that the LUFC School of Goalscoring - wallop!
BUGGER! I WAS HELPING A STUDENT WITH A PROBLEM WHEN I CAM BACK TO SEE CITEH TAKE THE LEAD WHEN WATHCING THE TAIL END OF THE REPLAY
That should liven up proceedings.
Useless free kick, but United have a corner.
Terrible corner by Roon and then a crappy cross to boot
Could United still lose the league!!
Carrick blew in the midfield before it got to Giggs... not good by United's center two
I think that you lot have been agreeing with Roberto Mancini on that point all season long!
Come on United... start passing the ball better
Get rid of it Rafa!!!
We have a large lead, but you never know.
Get it over Rafa!
Foul called
RVP to swing in a free kick now toward the Stretford End.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JONESEY!!!!!!!
Great free kick!!
GOAL! Phil Jones equalizes from the free kick!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! 1-1 AS PHIL JONES HEADS IN A FREE KICK. HART MISSED THE CROSS FOR WHICH WE THANK HIM.
It's actually on that evidence a Kompany own goal.
That's an OG
That could have gone right in from the free kick
I'm off to teach, lads. Best of luck with the last half hour.
Take care Bobby
Young almost found RVP there!
MUFC Academy Side:
Foster, Bardsley,P Neville, O'Shea,Jonny Evans,Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Eagles, Frazier Campbell, Wellie
Subs Roy Carroll, Robbie Brady, Corry Evans
How can poieple playing for MK Dons and The A League beat this side? Everyone in thew MUFC Academy sid estarts in the BPL or the Championship except for Roy Carroll, who plays for Olympiakos.
Roon looks to be losing his head a bit
Cheers Bob.I am watching a streaming video, so I couldn't tell that it was an OG,but I believe you.
Well done MUR
what is your opinion of the MUFC Academy side, UWS?
Cheers, UWS. You helped by reminding me about Beckham. Well done to you too.
It was an OG
The free kick may have been going in but Jones headed it but it was going across the box... hit Kompany... and in
Young didn't stay with Milner's run... come on United... keep it tight
Come on United... attack attack attack attack attack
ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS BY ROONEY
Decent header by Welbeck easily saved though
That makes sense. The quality of the video isn't the greatest.
20 to go
Decent effort there by Nasri.... nice attempt
It is his last kick of the game, he is being replaced by Aguero
Aguero on for Citeh
I am confident that out Academy side could beat Bob's , even if we gave him Roon.
RVP wins a corner off of fellow former Gunner, Clichy,that he will take and pushed away by Hart. United keep possession
Get Rooney off
Terrible cross again from a long corner
United don't get the ball in the box and take it all the way back to De Gea
A shot from Young is easily saved by Hart
Great block of a shot from Yaya
Yaya should have scored there
Valencia on for Wellie. From bad to worse.
12 to go!
United really needed to just stop him
Why let him run all in the box!
Valencia replaces Welbeck
Valencia has been United's worst player all season
I missed the goal. I was helping some students. BUGGER!
Evra wants a corner... not given
It was almost like the QPR goal
Sounds like the second goal was a horror show
Stupid foul by Rooney....What does he expect
He went thru the man
Definitely not happy. It's like relieving a nightmare!
Not a good effort by RVP
Stupid foul by Young on Zaba and the Argie is none too pleased.
Hernandez about to come on
I would take off Rooney
Chicha about to come on . He should have started.
Weak header by RVP is straight to Hart
It will be Rooneu
Tevez in the book... I don't think it should have been
Tev is booked for cumulative fouls. Chicha on for Roon as UWS ordered.
Chicha is fouled by Kompany.Useless free kick off of Barry for a corner.
Terrible free kick but it almost was there
Weakly headed wide by Jones off the corner.
Terrible cross by Valencia and then Evra can't dribble it
A fracar or handbags or whatever. I was helping a student when the incident that led to it started.
Giggs and Barry are booked.
Into stoppage time.Four minutes
Terrible again by Young!!
United get a free kick
I don't think it was
Zaba is booked.
Only 4 added?
Kagawa is about to come on for the injured Young
Kagawa on for Young
Corner to United 92 min
GET IT OVER GIGGS... HE DOESN'T GO RIGHT
Citeh counter through Aguero off the United corner and Raffa is booked for a nasty challenge.
Javi Garcia on for Tev as part of a time wasting tactic
Valencia booked for a foul on Barry, who makes the most of it
United can't keep possession
This last five minutes have been everyone laying down
Last chance... corner..saved
That should do it
Valencia has a cross deflected for a corner.The corner by Giggs is headed by evra straight to Hart and that's it as Citeh win 1-2 at OT
It is all over
It is down to 12 points
BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER
I am extremely disappointed.
I need top sign off as class is about to end. It was a bitterly disappointing defeat, but as always it was great chatting. Hope you enjoy the rest of the day.
TTFN
