The Prem and the Third Round Draw









I overslept  a little due to the unusually chilly weather, but Fulham have a 2-0 lead early in the second  half vs Villa. The Third Round Draw is in a few minutes , then Arsenal vs Everton late on.

The appointment of former United assistant, Rene Muelensteen, has made a big difference as this is a completely different Fulham side. They are playing with lots of passion . Goals by Steve Sidwell and a penalty by Drac have them two up vs the Villa

BUGGER ! THEEVIL BLADES WON 0-2 AT CAMBRIDGE UNITED IN THE SECOND ROUND OF THE CUPEARLIER THIS MORNING. Bristol City one up at Tamworth late in the second half.

BLOODY NORAH! Fulham only away from safety by goal difference. The Cottagers are up to third from bottom , level on points with Palace and the Hammers. Ahead of Palace on goals scored and behind the Hammers on goal difference.

Looking bleak for Sunderland , who are now five points from safety as John's Hammers are being sucked into a relegation battle. Cardiff and the Baggies dragged in too.

OH! Off the post by Risse and nearly 3-0. Who are these Guys? I don't think United can beat them

Great cross by that pitbull, Karagounis, who is having a superb match. Has been fouled by Delph and Herd, which resulted in both Villa bookings.

Karagounis fell out of favor with Martin Jol, but is defying father time.

I guess not as he is off by personal request and gets a deserved ovation by the fans and a deserved hug by the gaffer. Kasami, the young Swiss attacking midfield player, on in his place,

10:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nearly an OG as a run by Kasami led to confusion in the Villa defense and nearly 30.

10:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Damien Duff on for Kacaniclic, who also gets a standing ovation. Cheers for Duff too.

10:07 AM

Long range effort from Risse just wide as the fans yelled shoot.

A double substitution for Villa Lowton for Herd and Albrighton for Andreas Weimann.

It appeared that Agbon was tripped in the box, but Mike Dean was not interested ,then Fulham go up the other end and was Guzan outside the box when he knocked the ball away? No. Agbon dove in the box and should have been booked.

Fulham end a run of six consecutive defeats , moving up to third form bottom, behind the Hammers on goal difference.

Still 0-0 at the EM and the tie of the round is obviously the North London Derby at the EM. Gooner must be loving that

11:24 AM

Other highlights are that Liverpool face Oldham for the third season in a row. Pool won 5-1 in the Third Round twe years ago on their way to the final while they were upset 3-2 at Oldham last season.

Wigan defend their cup by hosting the Fake Dons. Uwe Rosler recently took over at the DW. Bob should be pleased that Leeds face Rochdale although he would have preferred a tie at ER. United host Swansea and could be on for yet another home defeat. Someone will be pleased that Everton will host QPR while John will be pondering the Hammers tricky trip to Forest.

Giroud through off a nice ball from Young Jack as his shot was blocked by Timmy,but flagged offside.

11:42 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Giroud through and blocked by Timmy for a corner. Gareth Barry booked for something.

11:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Naughty off the ball on Ozil the reason for the booking. Actually a throw near the corner flag

11:44 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another great block from Timmy , this time from Ramsey off a nice through ball.Nice through ball from Carzola to Ramsey who put Young Jack through. a minute of stoppage time.

11:46 AM

Halftime and 0-0 from the EM. Fairly uneventful until the final five minutes of the half. The main event was news that there will be a North London in the Third Round of the Cup.

11:48 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice one touch passing from the Gunners and a volleyed pass from Young Jack is headed straight to Timmy by Carthola from close range.

12:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great save by Seu Seu Seudio from a long range effort by Ross Barkley

12:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great job by Timmy to push a volley from Ramsey around the post. Great one touch passing.Merte heads wide from the corner.

12:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Dragged well wide by Ross Barkley when a pass was a much better option.

12:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A high challenge by McCArthy on Ramsey and deservedly booked. He will be suspended for Everton's next match. A huge loss for the Toffees as he leads the Prem in tackles won this season.

12:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ross Barkley with a rocket from the D that was straight at Seu Seu seudio and Seu Seu Seudioed away.

12:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Theo for Carzola, and Flamini for Young Jack, and Rosicky for Ramsey as Arsene makes a triple substitution. Roberto has Jelavic on for the already booked McCarthy. Almost like preseason with the massive substitutions.

12:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another substitution as Steven Pienaar is booed for his brief spell at Spurs as he is replaced by Leon Osman.

12:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! Just wide by Flamini as the Toffees failed to clear their lines.

12:28 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The last team to keep a clean sheet at the EM was Everton in April. Will they emulate that feet today?

12:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The last time Arsene made a triple substitution was at Roberto's Wigan in December 2011. A coincidence that it was against Roberto's team again?

12:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Timmy booked for time wasting.

12:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Great through ball by Osman to Mirallis as his shot is turned around the post . The corner from Mirallis was headed away then a deflected cross by Mirallis is headed high and wide by Distin.

12:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gerard Delafeu is on for Mirallis and
GOAL!!! OZIL SMASHES THE GUNNERS INTO THE LEAD.

12:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Disaster for the Toffees as the Gunners scored twenty seconds after THE tOFFEES MADE THEIR FINAL SUBSTITUTION. A goal kick from Deu Seu Seudio was headed to Rosicky. His long angled cross from the left was headed down by Theo, Giroud missed the ball and Ozil smashed in at the far post.

12:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

One Nil to the Arsenal would put them seven points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea.

12:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!!! 1-1 AN EVETFUL APPEARANCE FOR YOUNG DELAFEOU AS HE TIES IT UP FOR THE TOFFEES.

12:41 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Barry did well to win the ball in midfield and Ross Barkley played Bryan Oviedo down the left. The Chunk completely missed the ball with an attempted bicycle kick and it made it to Delafou as his shot was deflected off of Gibbs and into the top corner

12:43 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

In a period of four and a half minutes on the pitch , Delafeu saw the Gunners take the lead , then tied it up for the Toffees.

12:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Arsene furious as a seven point lead is trimmed down to five. An up and down seven minutes for Gooner and dad.

12:45 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nearly the lead for the Toffees as Deulefou played through the Chunk , but Seudio did well with a foot save.

12:46 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

DEulefou booked for a foul on Rosicky.

12:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Three minutes of stoppage time as it was heart in mouth time for the Toffees as Timmy completely missed a cross , but Giroud could not take advantage.

12:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Chunk blasts over from just outside the box as he tackled Ozil in midfield.

12:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Steven Naismith on for Ross Barkley.

12:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! Off the bar from Giroud in the dying seconds, then Webbie calls a foul on the Gunners

12:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Webbie blows the final whistle and it finishes 1-1. Gooners will be disappointed as they thought they had won the match , but the Toffees tied it up four and half minutes after the Gunners take the lead. The Gunners remain top, five points clear of Pool and Chelsea.

12:53 PM

That's it for me. Over and out.
