A Sunday Footie Double Header
A typical Prem Sunday which starts with the opening act, Swansea vs the Spuds and concludes with the big one: Chelsea vs United. Chelsea have never lost a Prem match at the Bridge in either of Jose's spells in charge. If United want to end that streak then they need to pull their fingers out and stop sucking. Come join me for all the banter.

Morning Boys
I join LOB as the teams are walking out of the tunnel
Spurs looking for their fifth straight away league win They haven't done that since October 1960
Of course, United need a Swans win and United win and United are up a spot!
Aint going to happen!!
Away we go
Good morning UWS. They're off from the Liberty Stadium
I guess one can hope for a Swans win.
The through ball from pozuelo to Bone was just too long.
Routledge wins a Swans corner
Morning MUR
That was a great break by Swansea… shame with the final ball
Useless effort by Jonjo
Taken short from Pozuelo to Routledge and horribly wide by Shelvey
Better effort but still wide…closer
Wide by shelve. A better effort by Shelvey. Good start by the Swans.
Do you agree with my post that United need to stop sucking to have any chance at the Bridge?
Very much so
I am very confident about the visit to the Bridge.
Very confident that United will be steamrolled
I think it will be tight because Chelsea are too defensive minded to run up the score. They keep it tight even against the lower placed teams.
Jonjo does hit the target but is saved by Lloris
Better by Shelvey as he turned inside and forced Lloris into a good save from long range . Leon Britton shows why he doesn't score many goals as he shoots well wide.
Nice run down the right by Eriksen, but cross easily caught by Tremmell. Spurs starting to dominate.
How is Chadli offside if Ashley Williams headed the ball back to him? Played by the defensive player.
A rare sight in the Prem as Kyle Walker takes a throw and it goes out for a goal kick. Ade none too pleased about it.
Decent effort by the Bone. Not far wide.
Useless pass by Bonny but it comes back to him and he gets a shot off
Pathetic clearance by Shelvey
Swansea's passing has been really poor today
Nice hit by Boni off the bar
OH! A rocket from the Bone is off the bar then headed oaway for a corner.
Pozuelo had a shot deflected for a corner then Spurs countered off the next corner, but it came to nothing.
Ben Davies down injured for the Swans.
Some of the passing from both teams has been ATROCIOUS!!!
I guess we need Everton to drop points at the Hawthorns tomorrow night too
It's been really awful. Could United be any worse.
We would definitely want that. The main thing is to hope United can get something today
Poor header by the Bone . Should have given the Swans the lead. A real boner.
I have to do a few errands
I'll be back for the second half
Sorry for leaving you to ride solo!
The Bone is offside as he forces a save from LLoris off a through ball from Shelvey.
No probs. Cheers mate.
BUGGER!!! ADE HEADS THE SPUDS INTO THE LEAD. NICE ONE TWO BETWEEN LENNON AND ERIKSEN. THEN A NICE CROSS FROM ERIKSEN IS HEADED IN BY AN Unmarked ade at the far post. spurs were given far too much time.
Tremmell tips over a shot from Chadli.
A poor pass from Danny Rose is sliced out by Chico Flores for a corner.
Great block by Tremmell from Ade.
Swansea cheaply gift possession the Danny Rose has a shot land in Row Z.
Routledge wins a corner off of Ciraces
Amat volleys well wide off a corner from Shelvey.
Ben Davies gifts possession off a pass from Tremell.
Three minutes of stoppage time.
Nice turn by Eriksen , but shot tamely to Tremmell.
Great run down the right by Angel Rangel and his cross is chested out by Walker for a corner. The corner from Shelvey is headed away
Halftime and the Spuds are one up thanks mainly to sloppy Swansea passing. Boni did hit the bar for Swansea.
The second half is underway
Chico Flores heads out a cross from Ade for a corner. Swansea gifted possession. Tremmell catches the corner from Eriksen.
Pozauelo becomes the first player booked in this match, for a nasty foul on Ciraces.
Shelvey down injured, holding his hammy.
Roaland Lamah warming up and that's it for Shelvey.
GOAL !!! SPURS TWO UP AS CHICO FLORES PUTS INTO HIS OWN GOAL OFF A CROSS FROM WALKER. POOR BACK TRACKING BY LAMAH AS DAWSON WAS GIOVEN FAR TOO MUCH TIME AND SPACE AS HE PLAYED WALKER DOWN THE RIGHT.
I am back for errands, shower and shave and Spurs double their lead
This one is done and dusted as Spurs look like winning five consecutive away league matches since October 1960, their double winning season.
Correct. Swansea have been really poor since you left.
Also, Shelvey went off injured just before Spurs scored their second.
I said that fact at the beginning of the match
Lloris blocks a shot from Boni then gathers it.
The dog is really at me for a walk. I am going to have to go now and get it done before the later mauling!!
You did.Now it is reality. Welcome back mate. Hope your errands went well.
Have fun. Stay warm.
Ben Davies has a cross deflected for a corner.
Lloris catches the corner.
Now Routledgeis hobbling off a push from Danny Rose as a corner from Pozuelo is headed away.
Lamah has a cross deflected for a corner.
A better corner as Flores heads just over off the corner from Pozuelo.
Siggy on for Chadli
Boni booked for a reckless challenge on Ciraces.
OH! Denmbele beats the offside trap and shoots just wide with just the keeper to beat. Nice through ball from Walker and Ade furious with Dembele.
GOAL !!! ADE EASILY SCORES A SECOND AS HE SCORES WITH JUST THE KEEPER TO BEAT. Swansea CAUGHT ON THE COUNTER ANDA NICE PASS FROM DANNY ROSE WAS EASILY TUCKED AWAY BY ADE. THIS ONE IS BASICALLY ALL BUT OVER.
Boni heads well wide off a cross from Routledge.
GOAL!!! BONI SCORES WITH A GREAT FINISH AS A CROSS FROM BEN DAVIES WAS NOT CLEARED ANDLAMAH PASSED FOR BONI TO SCORE WITHA GREAT FINISH. MERELY A CONSOLATION FOR THE SWANS.
Naughton on for Walker. Like for like
Spurs have switched off the last few minutes then Danny Rose stupidly gets booked for kicking the ball away.
Ade wins a free kick as Flores tugs his shirt near the corner flag
Boni heads away the free kick from Eriksen.
Siggy straight at Tremmel off a pass from Walker.
Swansea got away with a horrible defensive error from Flores off a through ball from Siggy. He fell asleep on the play and Ade failed to round Tremell as he could have had a hat-trick.
Naughton came on for Lennon, not Walker.
Five minutes of stoppage time.
I am back after a walk and some lovely French Toast for breakie
Martin Atkinson blows the final whistle and the Spuds easily win 1-3 at The Liberty. Spuds now up to fifth, but Everton will overtake them if the Toffees win at The Hawthorns tomorrow.
Nice brekkies. welcome back.
Hope Valencia was watching how the first Spurs goal came about… a decent cross!!!
LINE-UPS - Chelsea v Man Utd (1600 GMT)
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Luiz, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Eto'o. Subs: Cole, Lampard, Torres, Mata, Mikel, Matic, Schwarzer.
Man Utd: De Gea, Rafael Da Silva, Evans, Vidic, Evra, Jones, Carrick, Valencia, Januzaj, Young, Welbeck. Subs: Giggs, Smalling, Lindegaard, Hernandez, Cleverley, Fletcher, Kagawa.
Referee: Phil Dowd (Staffordshire)
United's team doesn't really send out fear
I agree with both statements.
Gary points out that Jan was started in the middle last week and then moved wide and United played better… he starts there again
United cannot give away stupid fouls today and that is what a lot of them do!
Rafa, Jones, Evans...
Jose says he doesn't play the team 11 points behind the top but the Champions… he had to put that points difference out there. He is trying to sound gracious but he is evil… I HATE HIM!
I don't care how United do this year. I am just glad he is not in charge at OT
If Untied happen to take the lead here, I have no confidence that any lead will be safe enough… okay maybe 5-0! We did that in the Cup and won 5-3
Teams in the tunnel
United team look glum!
Here they come
I have to say
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Teams out of the tunnel at SB.
Not as big a roar as I thought there'd be
Where is the Blue is the Color?
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Agreed . Jose is evil. He is really nasty.
Nani in the stands…wearing Chelsea BLUE!
Becks is here
Away we go
Please play well United
Lots of former players along with Woy in attendance. They're off from SB.
United haven't done that bad in the league away from home. Haven't lost since at Citeh
COME ON MAN UNITED!
First cross by United blocked by the first man of course
DRIBBLE THE DAMN BALL DANNY
A good away record, but this is a stiff test. Great observation with Nani.
Valencia does beat the man and has a step to cross but he doesn't'
Young with a chance!!
Saved
Terrible attempt by Valencia. Great block by Ivanovic from Young.
Corner to United
Keep it up
Nice move by Young and Welbeck
A waste as the corner is headed away and Phil Dowd calls a foul
Short corner… cross doesn't beat first man and of course Young was offside when it was laid back to him
Not the smartest idea!
We need to keep this up the whole match
Chelsea have been a second half team in recent matches. It has been 0-0 at the half then they have won 2-0 in the last four or five matches.
We need to beat Chelsea here to knock Jose off his home porch!!
Of course, they should have lost to WBA this season but got a gift of a pen in the 95th minute
Valencia goes past Ramires then Azpi clears for a corner.
Valencia betas the man.. doesn't get it over
Another corner for United… not a short one please
Jan crosses and it goes for a throw in
The corner from Jan headed away as United keep possession
Welbeck runs sometimes like a frightened deer
Agreed. Jose is getting a swell head and they were gifted that last second penalty against the Baggies.
United playing like this is great but we need a goal to make it worth something
Rafa with space but AGAIN fails to put the cross over
IT IS PATHETIC!!
I would spend an entire practice crossing the ball!!!!!
And a 90 minute performance, especially in the second half.
They sure could use the practice.
Nasty body check by Sideshow and instead of being booked Phil Dowd gives Chelsea a free kick
Jones can't dribble the ball either and then gets called for a foul… it was a foul by David Luis not Jones but please just dribble properly!
Ramires straight at De Gea.
CHelsea's first shot… weak right at De Gea
Get a good free kick over please.. bloody hell… did not beat first man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pathetic free kick by Jan headed away by the first man and that back heel by Valencia was a sickly joke.
Willian has a shot deflected straight to De Gea.
Chelsea with fewer attacks, but theirs are pacier and more of a threat
Weak clearance by De Gea but Untied survive
They're talking about Cole not playing again after Ivanovic has come back… is he going to leave?
United have had 78% of the possession in the first ten minutes
Agreed about Chelsea attackes
They need to start creating more chances with all that possession.
I would guess that Cashely will be leaving this summer.
Bloody Hell
One nil Chelsea
Deflected in
BLOODY HELL !!! ETO'O GIVES CHELSEA TTHE LEAD.
Completely undeserved
Poor defensive header by Evans and poor defending by Jones as Eto'o scored with a deflected effort off of Carrick that wrong footed De Gea.
Will that change the whole match or will United continue to play well
In previous years, I would think the latter… this season… not so much
I thought Jones was weak with the covering of Eto
Sideshow booked for an off the ball foul on Valencia.
SHUT IT JOSE! YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS COMPLAINING!
David Luis with a yellow.. should have had one earlier
I hope it's not a long afternoon for United. They win a corner and Vidic heads a deep corner from Young straight to Cech.
Corner not too brilliant again.. far too long
Why have Jan there for a short one? Last time it was called offside and now you have one less player in the box
He should have but he was awarded a free kick instead. Jose needs to shut it.
Hazard goes easily past Hazard and Raffa then his pass was cut oput by Evans for a corner.
Hazard has the beating of Rafa and Vidic
Cross blocked
Corner to Chelsea… struth.. all the way thru the six yard box
Poor corner from willian fails to leave the ground, but Chelsea keep possession.
Short corner from Hazard then eventually his cross lands on the roof of the net
Shut up Terry… you're a thug
Why wasn't Welbeck attacking the bouncing ball in the box
JT fouls Jan.The free kick from Young cleared., but United still in possession.
Surely that was a body check by sideshow on Raffa. Lucky to still be on the pitch. Chelsea break , but it's a poor cross by Ivanovic
Chelsea break with such pace… that's what United used to do
Ivanovic does a Valencia/Rafa and kicks the ball out of play
Wow… a decent cross by Valencia… does' t find a man though
SHOOT JAN!!!
Into the side netting by Evra as he was gifted the ball by Oscar.
Evra with a shot.. hits side netting
No real worries for Cech
Jose is talking rubbish!!
He wanted OT
Decent pass from Valencia intended for Wellie, who was far too slow.
Valencia tríes to find Welbeck… of course.. he doesn't have the pace to get to it
I don't know why people say he has pace
agreed, but he's not the man for the job. I would still like Klopp at OT.
Oscar with a United style cross.
Untied doing better after the goal and Chelsea doing worse after the goal than I thought
I thought the tide would change completely… it hasn't
Great move by Jan but no one was there!!!
GET MEN IN THE BOX UNITED
Jan does well to get past Sideshow, but why wasn't anybody up to put away that pass?
Agreed. Actually a decent United performance compared to some of their performances this season.
My concern is that Chelsea have been a much better second half team this season.
Agreed
I am pleased with the performance except for the lack of quality in the cross on final ball
STOP TRYING TO OFFCIATE JOSE! He should be sent off.
I have seen better crossing from nuns!
Absolutely pathetic by Welbeck!! YOU PLAY FOR MANCHESTER UNITED AND ENGLAND!
No you can turn AND pass an accurate pass THREE FEET
Young booked pulling down Ramires on the break after Evra gifted possession.
Another three foot pass goes to a blue shirt. This time by Evra
Young with a yellow for a professional foul
Again, I think the mistake Moyes made was that he came in a brought in his own men and said this is my team and we're going to do it my way.
The problem with that thinking is that his way has won nothing. The United way has won everything
He should have come in and said… SHOW ME HOW IT IS DONE!
I feel that Jose's system is the reason for the lack of productivity from his strikers. Just look at the Chunk/
Bloody hell Welbeck… finish that!! HIT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE KEEPER!
Not United or England quality in my book
Wellie should have tied it up as Jan got in a good cross a, but he shot a tame effort right at Cech.
Moyes would have been better off doing it the United way. If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Collision with Jones and Luis.. both up
I miss the old drop ball
THe kick out for a throw in!! Should have gone right back to De Gea
BLOODY HELL! Ivanovic as spiteful when clearing that drop ball. What a wanker!
United get the ball back but don't attack the space in front of them
Evra with… surprise surprise.. a weak cross
Bloody useless from evra after A nice nutmegged pass from Jan through Sideshow's legs.
Ball is blocked from Jan shot.. Welly refused to run after a bouncing ball… what a Wally. I am calling him that from now on
Oscar with volley over the bar!
PHEW!Oscar high and wide with an overhead kick off another deflected effort from Eto'o after a pass from Hazard.
Nice Nickname.
Wally starting for England… sigh for Brazil
Anderson has been shipped out on loan to the delight of UWS.
Stupid stupid foul by Jones… why are you so dumb
Free kick chance for David Luiz to take a pop
Agreed about Wally.
Wish some on the field would go too
Up he comes… deflected off the wall
Corner
The free kick from Sideshow is deflected off the wall for a corner.
Bloody Hell
Two nil
Two at least completely open in the box!!
