Afternoon, MUR - thanks for the post! I'm with you for the time being.

Stoke seem to be drawing on the Tony Pulis blueprint so far.

2:51 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Interesting to see how easily Geoff Cameron has fit into this system.

2:53 PM

I don't have video, but I have audio.

My pleasure , Bob. Sorry I didn't post a picture, but I was unsuccessful from the school computer.

2:54 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Finally got video at the third attempt. Still the same boring, predictable Moyes tactics.

2:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Young falls down easily under a challenge form Cameron. Sound familiar?

2:59 PM

Also a match in the Championship as Not a Big Club hosts Wigan

SPEED IT UP UNITED!

I've seen mules play with more pace!

3:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great down the left by Wellie then Palacios tackles Wellie to prevent a corner

3:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A rare Stoke attack as Assaidi, the hero vs Chelsea , curls an effort high and wide.

3:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Young wins a corner off of Cameron amidst a chorus of boos and wanker. An Atrocious corner from Young that finds absolutely nobody.

3:07 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United are starting to dominate now.

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gordon Banks in attendance at the match. He will not be impressed by what he has seen.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Crouch won a loose ball in the United box and a cross be Pieters was headed out by Evra for a Stoke corner that came to nothing.

3:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cleverley has a shot easily saved by Sorensen as the Stoke defense failed to clear.

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bob will be pleased that Wigan have taken the lead at Hillsborough.

3:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Evra and Valencia have shown that they cannot cross a ball.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Very pleased.

3:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - my word, the ref has abandoned the match due to the hale!

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Miserable conditions in England with a driving rain and gale force winds. Now turning into a downpour and now a wintry mix.

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Correct. Senor Clattenburg has temporarily delayed the match

3:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mark Walters needs to shut it. Let the ref decide when to resume the match and stay away from the United dugout.

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I guess we can go to Shite Fart Lane to watch the other quarterfinal.

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mark Walters is a real moron. The only player out on the pitch as everyone else had the good sense to go to the dressing rooms.Not exactly an academic.

3:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I am loading a link for Spuds vs Hammers due to the delay at the Brittania.

3:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have French audio, but no video from SFL.

3:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Have video at the fourth attempt from SFL. ADE finds Row Z off a pass from Kyle Walker.

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gonner and Johnno are snickering as Tim Sherwood is caretaker manager

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Audio in English Ade is tackled for a Spurs corner. Taken short as a cross from LUFC Academy is headed out and the Hammers win a free kick.

3:27 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

They're back on even if Clattenburg didn't look like he fancied it. He looks as if he's rather be at home in his favorite chair with his feet up having a warm cocktail.

3:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I wonder if Stoke vs United has resumed. Two minutes plus stoppage time till halftime of this borefest.

3:28 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

No goals in the other one between managerless Spurs and the Hammers.

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Typical Clattenburg! THANKS FOR THE UPDATE.

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Tim Sherwood is managerless, to the amusement of Gooner and Hammers fans.

3:30 PM

Dafoe can't pass.

One minute of stoppage time.

3:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Halftime and 0-0 from what looks like a really horrible first half from SFL. Back to the Brittania.

3:32 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Off to a meeting for a tick - be back soon!

3:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Still 0-0 from the Brittania as I actually have video.

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers mate. Hope you will be back soon.

3:34 PM

Halftime and 0-0 from the Brittania.

3:43 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The second half is underway from the Brittania where the weather has been more interesting than the footie. The weather is much calmer at this time.

3:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Pathetic cross from Raffa to ruin what was for once a nice United possession.

4:00 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A nice cross from Geoff Cameron was just too high for Walters

4:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Valencia has a shot blocked for a corner as wellie held up the ball.

4:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Evra heads wide from the corner taken by Cleverley.

4:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

High and wide by Glenn Whelan, who was a Citeh trainee back in the day

4:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Useless effort by Anderson.

4:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Raffa is just as poor at crosses as Valencia. Chicha about to come on.

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chicha on for the useless Anderson as Moyes is going for the win and rightly so.

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

4:13 PM

Arnautovic is on for Assiaidi and
GOAL !!!
YOUNG OF ALL PEOPLE GIVES UNITED THE LEAD.

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chicha held up the ball and his shot pass was hammered home by Young from about 25 yards out. Sorensen got a hand to the shot , but could only divert the shot to the roff of the net.

4:15 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chicha wins a corner off of Shawcross.

4:15 PM

4:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bob will be pleased that Wigan have won 0-1 at Wednesday on a Wednesday. Any day of the week will due.

4:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Hammers have gone 1-2 up at SFL as Maiga has given them the lead. Two goals in five minutes for the Hammers. Johnno delighted and Gooner amused.

4:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Confusion for Stoke as Charlie Adam is on for either Shawcross or Palalcios and it's eventually Shacross off as Palacios had initially gone to the bench, but returned to the pitch

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
EVRA PUTS UNITED TWO UP WITH A LOVELY FINISH WITH A CURLER IN THE UPPER 90 FROM HIS WEAKER RIGHT FOOT AFTER A NICE ONE TWO WITH YOUNG.

4:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now United need to preserve the lead for fifteen minutes and they are through to the semis.

4:31 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Both United goals came seconds after Stoke made a substitution. Sparky looking none too clever.

4:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fletch about to come on as Raffa wins a corner taken by Young and far too high for anyone.

4:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Fletch on for Wellie.

4:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

United fans chanting " There's only one Darren Fletcher." Lovely Jubbly.

4:40 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cheerio, mate! I'm just back in the office in time to see that United have seen off Stoke 0-2 with a professional display this evening. And a late goal by Maiga has added to Tottenham's woes - West Ham are through to the semis along with United this evening. Well in, mate!
