Good morning boys
I hope to be around for most of the United game but that is is. We are off to Cortland this morning for Tom's game.
News out of Old Trafford... Rooney starts for United!
Fellani on the bench
LINE-UPS - Man Utd v Crystal Palace (1245 BST)
Man Utd: De Gea, Fabio Da Silva, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Carrick, Anderson, Valencia, Rooney, Young, van Persie. Subs: Evans, Hernandez, Cleverley, Zaha, Fellaini, Amos, Januzaj.
Crystal Palace: Speroni, Mariappa, Gabbidon, Delaney, Moxey, Dikgacoi, Jedinak, Campana, Puncheon, Chamakh, Gayle. Subs: Phillips, O'Keefe, Kebe, Alexander, Jerome, Bannan, Guedioura.
Referee: Jon Moss (W Yorkshire)
I don't see why Fellaini is only on the bench
Where Kagawa? Not even on the bench?
GET INVOLVED #bbcfootball
United's team selection has already caused a bit of a stir:
Shane McMenemy: No disrespect to Palace but surely today is the perfect chance to give Fellaini and Kagawa a run out?
Sam Nolan: Joke. Where is Kagawa and why is Fellaini not starting! Should be two of our most important players...
Paul Gibbons: Shocking an England player not fit for country but fit for club...priorities
United haven't scored since the late Welbeck goal against Swansea!
Two games with no goals
Nasty rivalry game today
Burnley v Blackburn at 7:15
Bob's lot visit bottom of the table Bolton
Surely Fellaini could have picked a better number than 31
50 years ago today, a certain George Best stepped on to the Old Trafford pitch for the first time
Sept 14, 1953 against West Brom
Sir Alex Ferguson is going to be in attendance at Old Trafford today
SAF's second autobiography will be released on Oct 24th this year... Rooney' birthday!
Good morning UWS. I will be around for the first match too. Wishing Tom and Cortland the best.
I agree that Hair Bear and Kagawa should be given a chance against the likes of Palace. Also, When will Zaha be given a chance.
Morning MUR
Totally agree with both your comments
Great to hear that SAF's second autobiography will come out on Roon's birthday. I hope the first one came out on wee Gordon's birthday. Does that mean that SAF has had two lives?
Cheers UWS.I hope you are settling nicely into the new school year. I will have to be neutral in four weeks.
Away we go at OT
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
And they're off!
Hard to believe that they are having better weather in Manchester than in Harlingen. A collector's item!
School year has started off well
What do you mean about being neutral
Our weather has turned cold
We have had mega rain the last two days too
Valencia wins an early corner as United attack from the off.
Good attacking by United down the right... again Valencia didn't get it over
Nice effort by Carrick
The corner from RVP is headed away and United continue to attack and Speroni does well to push away a shot from Carrick
Please score early United
Why didn't United do this at Anfield?
That was dangerous by De Gea... yikes
Also, please score often United.
That was a Palace long throw taken with plenty of Moxey by Moxey.
quite a move for Dwight Gayle, moving from Bishop's Stortford to Palace.
United's # 10... McEnroe tries to find RVP... almost
A spot of tennis at OT?
Listening to comments on Talksport during the England match on Tuesday , Ashley Young had a MARE when he came on !
No sign of SAF yet
Why is Ian Holloway banned. I watched Palace vs Sunderland before the international break and didn't see anything unusual.
United want a pen... Evra goes down... never a pen
I think England were happy with a draw in Chicken Kiev, but it will be a different story if that happens vs Poland and Monte at wembley
I missed that while typing but that seemed to be the CW.
complained about the refs after the Spurs match
Roon has a cross deflected for a corner . Nice try by Speroni
Chamakh heads away a corner by Roon.
Some fans hinting that Hair Bear should be playing. I agree.
Could it come down to having to beat the Poles at Wembley to make the World Cup... ala 1973
The Clown in goal making so many saves
A missed tackle by Norman Hunter
The shot under Shilton's body!
Ta, UWS. That explains it. Typical Ian Holloway.
Who will he come on for?
GET IT OVER YOUNG
UNited can't cross the bloody ball
Useless cross by Young
It will, but this is a much weaker Poland team. There is a more important match that day in Fred Town. I expect six points from England's two remaining matches.
Wasted shot by Fabio
Twenty six years ago Moyes and Holloway faced each other in the Bristol Derby. Moyes scored for City and Holloway for Rovers
I think the FredTown match is the same as the Monte game
Tom is struggling getting playing time. He hasn't been given a fair shot so far.. hope it changes
Cynical push by Damion Delaney on Roon. Should have been a booking.
Great trivia there MUR
STAY ONSIDE!!!!
The free kick by RVP is headed out by Jedinak , but two players were offside . A total waste.,
Ta, UWS. I actually cheated off the announcer.
I thought Young would be good for United... I think Bob was right... he isn't good enough
The CL start this week?
Bayer Lev
OOPS! I reversed the order. Poland is a must win, but still a much weaker team than back in'73. I expect two wins from two matches.
Young dives and gets a card.... WHY GO DOWN!!!
H could have a had a shot!!!
He didn't even complain.. United players should do that
I agree with Bob too. Young deservedly booked for diving . Absolutely disgraceful
Half time at Turf Moor... goalless
I am sorry to hear about Tom at Cortland. I hope he gets playing time by the time of the "grudge" match. He deserves a chance.
I don't understand players... he would have had a clear shot on his right foot
A real classic Lancashire Derby, LOL or is ROTFL?
Good dribble by Young but then a crap pass to Roon
Sorry I forgo to answer your question. The CL does start this week. United play on Tuesday in the CL then the Manc Derby on Sunday.
OT sounding very quiet!!!
I'm afraid United may just be... not that good!
200+ minutes without a goal.
Scored very late against Swansea
Nothing against Chelsea and Pool and now 25 more
Palace finished third the year after they lost to us in the Cup Final
Who is Young looking for?
I was thinking the same. We can't even break down Palace at OT. We should know the answer by the end of the Manc Derby.
It is sad United don't have a #7 this year!
That is the type of player we need
Best, Robson, Cantona, Becks, Ronaldo, Nocito... those are they type of players United need!!
i already posted that trivia fact about Best earlier!
We lost to Palace in the League Cup at OT two seasons ago in the League Cup, but Glenn Murray, who scored both Palace goals is out injured.
I noticed that. Poor form by the announcer.
I would love to see you in the # 7 short , starting for United.
Poor by Young as he was easily tackled by Jason Puncheon in midfield.
Young screws up again.... get him off
I thought most of United's wide men should have been shipped off.... Nani, Valencia and Young were all crap... they're all back
Useles decision by RVP there
Still no shots of SAF
Where is Bob? A wee kip for our Bob?
I wonder... he posted this thread
He's not missing much
I would have shipped them off. Moyes had a poor transfer window.
That's the truth. Sad that is.
Didn't you already mention Palace finishing third when they lost to us in the Cup Final? This announcer is in really poor form today.
I mentioned the Cup :Final... he only said about finishing third
Better from United as a cheeky back heel from RVP is just wide off across from Evra. Speroni would have saved it.
He also mentioned the Cup final, but a full hour after you did.
I think Viv Anderson would do a better job for United than his Brazi namesake.
oooh... great effort by RVP
Great pass by Roon, chested down, volley.. off the bar!!
There's SAF
OH! brilliant long pass from Roon after Anderson won a 50-50 tackle in midfield, but RVP volleyed over with just Speroni to beat. Should have been the lead for United. Reminds of the goal vs Villa in April.
The cross from Young was just too high for Roon , who would have headed United into the lead.
I thought the same
United now on top and need to score while Palace are ripe for the picking.
Useless by Roon in midfield.
Struth.... I thought Palace took the lead
PHEW! Palace could have taken the l;ead as Gayle did well to control along ball and got behind Rio, but shot wide with just De Gea to beat
Again.. the FIFTH straight half with no goals!!!!!
If they had then Blame it on Rio would have applied.
STAY UP YONG!!!
HE GETS A PENALTY!!!!!!
DO YOU THINK IT WAS???
MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE FIFTH HALF
YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
DEFINITE PENALTY ASDICAGOCOI FOULS YOUNG IN THE BOX. A BREAK FOR UNITED AS THESOUTH AFRICAN INTERNATIONAL IS SENT OFF FOR DENYING A GOAL SCORING OPPORTUNITY. BASED ON THE RULES, THAT IS THE CORRECT DECISION.
Bloody hell... a red
I really feel bad for Palace....
I don't agree with both decisions... Young did go down easily again
RVP to take....
I don't think I agree with you
I think it was a definite pen. A stonewall decision. Two minutes of stoppage time.
Come on Robin.... ONE NIL!!!!
YES! RVP SCORES FROM THE SPOT, SENDING SPERONI THE WRONG WAY. A GOAL UP AND A MAN UP.
End of goal drought
I think Dicgacoi knew exactly what he was doing and had has nobody to blame but himself. Moxey booked for a nasty foul on RVP.
Useless free kick by Roon
Half time
Off for walkies
Poor free kick from Roon headed away and United one up at the half.
Cheers UWS. See you in the second half.
Celtic one up at Hearts at the half.
The second half is underway and they are still discussing the penalty
United should be able to score more as they are a man up at home to a newly promoted team.
Great block by Speroni from Young.
I'm back from walkies
I was listening to Talksport... they were agreeing with me about the pen
Morning boys - great to be with you again. Sorry - I forgot to set my alarm clock last night so I've missed the first half. But I'm here for the duration.
Burnley take the lead against Bburn
United have only lost three times when leading out of 379 halftime leads. I do not expect number four today.
Welcome BD
We are in disagreement about Unted's pen
I don't think it was
MUR does
Palace down a gaol and a man
United hopeless
Good morning Bob. welcome. Also, welcome back, UWS.
Everyone at NBC and Yours Truly thought it was a stonewall penalty.
NBC putting up updates
Ozil will start
There was talk that he had the flu and wouldn't
Talksport and almost all the comments on the BBC disagree
The Robbies thought it was. Robbie Mustoe said Good night from me and Good Night from him.
Sounds like Yashley has been a naughty boy. I'll have to have a look at that dodgy penalty call. Enjoyed reading your comments.
The Two Robbies...nice one
They must have seen a different match at the Beeb and Talksport.
Rovers tie it up at Turf Moor
Oh - Yashley tried to curl one into the corner. Just wide.
Ta, UWS. Chamakh deservedly booked or a foul on Vidic. What did he learn in the Arsenal Reserves?
Hair Bear is warming up - it looks like he'll be introduced soon.
United have jumped up from 7th to second with that goal.... horrible sight... Liverpool on top!!
Enjoyed the "Two Robbies" reference, MUR - boom boom!
I will only be around for the first match. The only match tomorrow is Sotton vs the Hammers at 11 AM. will anyone be around for that?
Nice pass by Young to Evra... his cross doesn't find anyone
Useless effort by Rooney now!
I am not sure what my plans are tomorrow... I will probably be around
This is the only match for me today though
Ta, Bob. I have been looking for an excuse to use that. I agree, UWS. I hope the Swans can help us out on Monday as Shelvey faces some old friends.
Geudiora, the Algerian international and former wolves and Forest player , is on for Campagna.
I would bring on Fellaini for Anderson... on cue.. he is warming up
Same here, UWS. This is the only match for me too, but I will probably be around tomorrow.
It would really tick off Roon if he comes on
Evra finds RVP... he finds Row Z
ALSo, Janusazj to come on for a league debut. SAF put him on the bench for the 5-5 draw. The young Belgian looked good in preseason
The shot from RVP taken off in the Z Cars?
Remy to make his first start for th Toon at Villa Park
Here comes Fellaini.. for Anderson... I could be in charge at OT!!!
Wahay - here comes Hair Bear: I think this calls for another burst of this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPylI9t1cMw
Roars of approval as Hair Bear is coming on for a United debut. WAY HAY! Anderson is off. Surely, Hair Bear will replace him as a starter.
Without even looking at the link
I loved that show
OT crowd finally making some noise
Me too - it was really weird and very 70s.
Bburn down to ten men in injury time
Each team has had a sub come on for a debut for that team. Cameron Jerome on for a Palace debut as he is on for Dwight Gayle. Jerome on a season long loan from Stoke.
Come HB... get a goal!!!
I will need to watch that video.
Will he start midweek?
Will he start in the derby?
I second that and boy do we need a second.
I sure hope it's yes to both questions.
United's young impressive forward Januzaj
Replace one of the wide men?
RVP wins a corner off of Gabbidon off a pass from Young.
Again, I could be in charge... Young off for Jan
First corner in the Fellaini Era
HIT LOW... BRILLIANT!!!
Janusazj on for a United debut for Ashley Young. Had a good preseason.
That was the penalty call? Looked very soft and probably outside the box.
Decent cross by Jan
Decent effort by Fel
Second corner in the HB Era... cleared
The subs do well . great save by Speroni from Hair Bear and Speroni pushed away a cross from Januszj.
I would love for UWS to be player/manager at OT.
Third corner in the HB Era... I am going to keep count until he scores one... he did it enough against us
United try a short one!! Whistle blew
another short one.. RVP hits one wide
First push in the Hair Bear era. That didn't take too long. RVP with a rocket just over from a corner.
I'll take the job
If I was in charge, I wold lambaste Young for his diving publicly!
Plenty of goals and shoving by Hair Bear vs United while at Everton.
I would too. I would fine him two weeks wages and make him clean the youngsters boots. A rather naughty boy.
IS it rue that Chicha will endorse tellys ? What might he be doing next summer? HINT HINT!
This match is still only one nil
United still haven't scored in open play since the last minute in Wales
Two North Africans having a tussle there.
HB will give us some power in the midfield
Janusazj wins a corner off of Gabbidon.
GET INVOLVED #bbcfootball
Robin Cooke: Not sure if #MUFC fans are happier to see Fellaini coming on or Anderson off... the latter has been awful as usual.
Dobzilla: 61st minute, cometh the man, cometh the hair.
Alex Jeffs: What Palace could do with is a young player, who can play on the wing and link up with the striker. Oh, someone like Zaha.
Fourth corner in the HB era... comes to nothing
COME ON ROONEY... HOPELESS!!
I agree. Both are from Morocco , but Hair Bear is a Belgian citizen, unlike Chamakh.
Kebe comes on for 10 man Palace.
United need some goals
They are +3 so far this season which is is the same as Pool and Chelsea.. Citeh have +5
Ron had two shots blocked. Five out of five on subs making debuts as Jimmy Kebe, signed from Reading, on for Chamakh.
I like this Jan... a new Solskjaer?
speroni pushes away a powerful cross from RVP.
Jan should have shot... he passed it out to Valencia.. of course his cross didn't make it!
Nice take by Jan and then found Valencia.
RVP - the pen goalscorer - about to come off.
I think Jan is more like Bryan Robson than Solskjaer.
Did they RVP was going to come off for Hernandez
Valencia wins a corner off of Moxey.
Valencia again fails to get it over
Fifth corner in the HB Era
The corner from RVP was headed away.
