Cambridge United are one up vs Braintree Town in an East Anglian Derby.
Young Fergie are one up at the Fake Northampton.
News of Blighty that Alan Curbishley has been named technical director of Fulham.
The teams are heading out of the tunnel at the KC Stadium.
COME ON UNITED!
Fletch starts for United for the first time since Dec 1,2012. United playing in the 4-1-4-1 formation they used last season.
They're off from the KC Stadium.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
United in all white as Red somehow clashes with yellow and black stripes.
el Mohammedy wins a corner off of evra.
BLOODY HELL !!!! FORMER UNITED TRAINEE , JAMES CHESTER GIVES HULL CITY THE LEAD OF A CORNER FROM FATTY. IT WAS HEADED ON BY BRUCEY'S SON AND CHESTER STUCK OUT A LEG AND IT WENT IN OFF THE BAR. PATHETIC DEFENDINFG FROM UNITED
Hull City have the best home defense in the Prem , conceding only three at the KC all season. It won't be easy for United.
The replay shows that a corner should never have been given, but United's defending at the corner was awful.
Young Fergie 1-2 up at Northoventry at the half.
JIngle bells, Arsenal smells, United ran away, how much fun it is to see Leeds win on Boxing Day....ay!
Morning, MUR!
I'm just getting going this morning and notice that Hull have scored an early scrambly goal. Sorry, mate.
Allan McGregor , the Hull Keeper , down injured after a collision with Young off a nice through ball from Cleverley
Good morning Bob. Nice lyrics. A farcical start as it was schoolboy defending off a corner that never should have been given in the first place.
Oh my....
That's one of the ugliest goals we'll see all season, and United are 2-0 down. Sorry, mate.
BLOODY HELL !!!! UNITEDGIVING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS AS HULL CITY LEAD 2-0. SMALLING THE GIFT GIVER AS HE SHOULD HAVE CLEARED, BUT PASSED TO DAVID MEYLER AND HE SHOT UNDER DE GEA'S BODY. LAST WENT IN OFF OF EBVANS AND MIGHT BE AN OG.
Ta, Bob. Like giving raw meat to a tiger. Sound about right?
United need three goals to win and that's how many Hull City have conceded the entire season at the KC.
Naughty by Roon on Fatty
Pleat use the word ball in a sentence four times in a minute prior to the first goal. Was that a distraction?
Valencia heads a cross from Raffa well wide and now Jan is on for the injured Raffa. Valencia should move to right back.
Moyes is being forced into an early change here - and it's an attacking one with Janu coming on for Raf.
Jan wins a free kick seconds after coming on and Maynor Figueroa is deservedly booked.
Immediate impression there as Janu flies down the wing and Figueroa gets a yellow for chopping him down.
GOAL! It's 2-1 as Smalling converts the Rooney free kick with a huge leap and header into the corner.
What a game!
WAY HAY! SMALLING HEADS IN A FREE KICK FROM ROON TO MAKE UP FOR HIS EARLIER ERROR.
Only the fourth Prem goal that Hull City have conceded at the KC this season.
Fatty fouls wellie on the left
Now it's Fatty giving up a free kick against Welly.
And Welly nearly scores from another free kick! This game is crackling with action!
Oh - and now McGregor struggles to tip a shot behind!
Hey Boys
Happy Boxing Day
I watched the beginning of the match upstairs… ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!!
As I left the room, Smalling gets a goal back but I am disgusted!
Yuletide Felicitations!!!
A header from wellie off the free kick from Roon is deflected off of Chester for a United corner. McGregor with a great save and Roon Volleys to Row q off the corner from Jan
Good morning UWS. Was it like feeding raw meat to a Tiger.
HAPPY BOXING DAY
Hull City have made the KC a fortress this season as even leaders Pool have lost here. Smalling only the fourth player to score against the Tigers at the KC this season.
Happy Boxing Day, UWS - I think your United will turn this around.
Weird, they're pointing out Janu and Figueroa in live action.
Did I pick the right picture for the thread? I thought it was kind of amusing, yet fit the theme.
Oh - what a goal from Rooney!!!!
Desmond arrives at Hull!
YES!!!!
ROONEY… Great finish
DESMOND!!
WAY HAY! DESMOND PAYS A VISIT TO THE KC WITH A TRDEMARTK VOLLEY FROM 25 YARDS OUT OFFA CHESTED PASS FROM WELLIE. HIS 150 TH PREM GOAL FOR UNITED.
A pained expression on the face of the Hull fan behind the goal but even he must have been impressed by that volley. Marvelous stuff!
wELLIE FOULED BY eL mOHAMMEDY. Set piece chance for United
Watford take the lead vs the Evil Lions.
Again, Valencia fails to find a man on a cross
This could end up a cricket score - four goals in the first half hour!
Again, Valencia fails to find a man on a cross
United become the first team to score more than one away goal at the KC this season.
Bob's cricket comment in the middle of a UWS sandwich!
Let's hope United win by a cricket score. The Tigers look like a wounded animal.
I am the tasty meat filling in UWS starchy bread.
United's last loss to Hull City was in 1974 at Boothferry Park in the old second division.
Jan booked for a foul on el Mohammedy near the corner flag..
Nice one, Bob. Rather tasty,
Fatty drives a useless free kick straight into the wall.
Thefree kick from Fatty is driven and cleared then Roon heads away a cross from Fatty
I wish his first corner was like that
Desmond busy today as Northoventry have tied it up vs Young Fergie.
Have I told you this Unites team is just no bloody good
What kind of ball was that from Phil Jones?
Have you? I'm not sure. You might have. Hee Hee.
I believe that you've mentioned that. But why did this team win the Championship last season?
Was my Boxing Day photo better than this United performance?
I think it was down to great managing from SAF.
Gooner will be annoyed with all this Spurs talk from Pleat
So, Fergie was worth nine places in the table? Cor!
OH! That deflected effort from Danny Graham could have gone anywhere.
The corner from Fatty is headed away
The picture is the MCC for the Boxing Day Test Match
Wrong Sport!!
Good picture though
England stinking it up by the way
Charlton and Brighton are at 1-1 at half time.
Watford are 1-0 up over Evil Millwall.
I would say seven places since we are currently eighth.
Again, I thought United were pathetic last season
What's the match at 10 am?
Ta, UWS. I must have been out of it if I put up a cricket picture.
Cambridge winning at home with 20 to go
Hammers vs the Gunners. Not going down the tubes this time.
Hammers vs the Gunners. Not going down the tubes this time.
Useless from Fatty. Long may that continue. Three minutes of stoppage time.
Brucey's teams traditionally give United a tough time.
Watford two up vs the Evil Lions.
I really don't get how Valencia still plays. How can you be a wide man and not cross the ball.
Is it just me?
Brucey wouldn't want it any other way, right?
Half time
Still not happy but 2-2 is better than 0-2
That's it - off to make myself some breakies.
Halftime and it's Desmond at the KC as United have come from two goals down to tie it up. a thrilling second half in store.
I am having brekkies too. I agree with UWS about Valencia.
Northoventry take a late 3-2 lead vs Young Fergie.
Charlton now 2-1 up vs Brighton.
Brucey forced into a substitution as McGregor , injured in a clash with Young is replaced by Steve Harper
Second half is underway from the KC
Second half underway
Hull have to make two changes. Keeper and middie
Back after my Grape Nuts hoping for more goals.
Actually a double substitution for Brucey as David Meyler, scorer of the second Hull City goal, is off with a knee injury and replaced.
Just hope UNited are not chalked full of nuts.
BOOM BOOM!
That was not promising from Yashley. .
Pompey one up vs Daggenham at the half
Janu always seems to make things happen.
Are you in Fredtown Bob?
Northoventry now 4-2 up vs Young Fergie in second half stoppage time.
Nope - I'm down in Alexandria at Gooner Central. I'm off to pick up my dad for the later matches in a moment.
The first result this Boxing Day as Northoventry have defeated Young Fergie 4-2 in a noon kickoff.
The second result and another noon kickoff as Cambridge United have defeated Braintree Town 1-0 in an East Anglian Derby.,
Top of the Table Cambridge United
Hull should have retaken the lead there
Smalling's defending is diabolical
He was no where for the first goal
Useless cross again by Valencia but it makes it thru and Smalling tries a back heal sigh
I did NOT miss a goal while in the bog.
Johnny Not on the Spot was at fault too. United's defense is really bad comedy.
Fletch straight at Harper.
Evra down injured. It must have been the fall from that challenge with El Mohammedy
Valencia booked for a trip on Sagbo. He will be suspended for the trip to Carrow Road this weekend.
Roon heads away the free kick from Fatty
Fletch replaced by Hernandez
Come on Javier
Chicha on for Fletch, who gets a deserved ovation from both sets of fans.
Off the bar…. can United defend corners….EVER
OH! Alex Bruce heads off the bar from a corner by Fatty. Brucey's son nearly gave them the lead.
Charlton 3-1 up vs Brighton.
Can they Evra defend ?
Keep the ball movie Hernandez!!!!!
Useless by Chicha after great work by Wellie. a Hull City break ruined by a foul by Graham on Valencia.
YES!!!!!!!
OG!!!!
Bullet of a header from the bloke that scored the first
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
AMES CHESTER SCORES FOR BOTH SIDES AS HIS OG GIVES UNITED A 2-3 LEAD.
( think Evra wanted a corner
it was great work down the right by Young as his great cross was headed into his own goal by former United trainee, James Chesters as he was pressured by Roon
so that bloke who scored at both ends is from the MUFC academy as is Young Brucey.
Poor pass from Jan, but United get a corner.
United take it short, to the annoyance of UWS.
Finally got a Soccer Special going on Sky
Wellie fouled by Young Bruce just outside the D.
Free kick chance for Rooney… come on Wazza… bury it!!
Young Brucey booked for that
HEre he comes… wide
Roon gets a card… what did he do
The free kick from Roon is wide and now he has talked himself into the book. He wanted a corner.
George Boyd , part of the SAF connection, as he was signeed from young Fergie by Brucey. On for Maynor Figueroa on Brucey's final roll of the dice.
Watford now three up vs the Evil Lions.
As it stands… United ONLY FIVE POINTS behind the leaders!
Stunning!!
Carrick about to make his comeback
Good to see him back
The Tigers have conceded as many goals in this match as the entire season combined at the KC. Quite an achievement for United.
Useless break by United
Terrible pass by Hernandez then Welbeck doesn't have a clue
What has happened to Javier
Great stat, UWS. We're in the title race. Looking for a draw at the Etihad today and a Hammers win.
Carrick on for Young. A great sight./
Brighton score at Charlton in stoppage time as they trail 3-2 at Charlton.
3-2 at the Valley to the hosts
Young Brucey with a nose bleed.
Watford four up against the Lions
Watford four up vs the Evil Lions.
Charlton have defeated Brighton 3-2.
United better not blow this like they did at Cardiff
Agreed. we also did vs Saints at OT.
HOLD ON UNITED!
A DEFINITE DIVE BY rOON. Lucky to still be on the pitch.
Hernandez can't even dribble anymore
HE has definitely declined.
Terrible defending by Evra there but a header easily saved by De Gea
[PHEW! United let off the hook as Sagbo made afool of evra as Graham headed straight to De Gea.
This United side just sit back and take the pressure
Bloody hell…. we were lucky there
De Gea went walkabout
what was De Gea doing there as he made a mess of a cross and United got away with another error there.
Where is the side that buries teams and don't give them a sniff with 15 minutes to go!!!
sigh
BLOW UP REF!
bloody hell!! Really stupid by Valencia as he is sent off or a second yellow for kicking the ball away. What was he thinking?
3 added minutes
Roon lets the ball bounce and gives away a corner…. screams… he's on a yellow too… grow up
Glad to see Moyes completely ignoring Valencia when he went off
Struth… what a save by De Gea ….. where the hell is the defenders!!
This is piss poor
PHEW !!! GEORGE BOYD PUTS CHESTER THORUGH AND dE GEA COMES OUT TO BLOCK AS DE GEA PUNCHES AWAY THE CORNER FROM FATTY
Last chance saloon…cleared… blow up ref!!
I'm glad Moyes ignored Valencia too.
STRUTH… they do give another chance up… thankfully wide
I am disgusted!!
United hanging on by a thread and fortunate to be leading.
Game over
United just not good enough!!!
There was the Old United Resilience???
No it wasn't
THEY HUNG ON!!!!!
United win 2-3 as they survive late pressure from the Tigers. A fortunate three points for United as they are up to sixth for the time being.
An accurate description, UWS. That is what United did.
Next on NBCSN is the Hammers vs the Gunners. That match was postponed on Boxing Day last year
I don't want Moyes to come out and say it was a good performance… showed character to come back!
I want him to come out and say we were very lucky to get the win… our defending was comical…. we have to improve
James Thomkins starting for the Hammers today despite being charged with assaulting a police officer. UWS is correct in stating that modern footballers are really stupid.
I agree, UWS. It would be the correct thing to do.
I'm back with Dad and happy to see that Moyesy's boyesies (I'm trademarking that) have hung on for a 2-3 win. They all count as three points, gentlemen.
Now looking forward to seeing Gooner's Arsenal against WHR's West Ham.
Some nice funnies on SS
Hammers fans blowing bubbles as the teams go out - and the NBC coverage just shuts up and soaks in the atmosphere - marvelous!
Second lot of matches about to start
Nice rendition of Bubbles being heard
Of course, being a TW customer, I have have a choice 8 games to choose from
I think I'lll watch the one on NBC Sports tho
Here's the team news:
West Ham: Adrian, O'Brien, Collins, Tomkins, McCartney, Noble, Diame, Joe Cole, Nolan, Jarvis, Carlton Cole.
Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud.
Watford have defeated the Evil Lions 4-0
They're off from Upton Park.
West Ham trying to punk Arsenal right from the off. Doesn't quite work out for Jarvis.
A shame that WHR could not come over as there could have been some trash talking
UWS will be pleased that Pompey have defeated Daggenham 1-0
True, Bob. United up to sixth and five points out of first. Can you believe it?
Wolves take an early lead vs Crewe,
West Ham definitely taking it to the Arsenal early doors. The Gunners are playing as if they haven't gotten off the bus yet.
Your dad and Gooner must be cheering loudly at Gooner Central.
Dad and Gooner none too pleased.
Oh - I thought Giroud could have got some contact on that cross from Sagna.
Bob will be delighted that Oldham have taken the lead at Bramall Lane
I am delighted. Yes.
I'd be even more delighted with a goal for the Whites at Bloomfield Road.
Celtic take the lead at St. Johnstone
That match kicks off at 12:15. A win will keep Leeds in the playoffs
Yeah - that's true - I'll even take a goal for Leeds before the match starts, how about that confidence?!
West Ham and Arsenal are giving us some entertaining footie, don't you think?
Sotton take the lead at Cardiff the Canaries take the lead vs Fulham
Oh - Adrian tips around a Caz header brilliantly.
Morning, WHR - good match so far. Would love to see some goals flying in right about now.
