United Visit the Hawthorns!

Week Eight of the Premiership rounds up this afternoon with United's visit to the Hawthorns to take on the Boing Boing Baggies. I'm only around for a bit of the first half before an irritating meeting, but I thought I'd set up the thread and go from there. Enjoy!

Good afternoon, Bob. Thanks for posting the thread. I should be around about a half hour into the match

BUGGER!!! United are 1-0 down to the Baggies 31 minutes in.

Useless free kick by Mata from just outside the box that finds Row M

About five minutes until halftime and still 1-0 to the Baggies. The announcer said that Sess scored with a cracking strike.

Jones commits a foul just outside the United box.

Lescott heads well over from the free kick.

United play Chelsea at OT and don't stand a chance if they play like they are this evening.,

3:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Blind called for a push on Sess.

3:45 PM

A minute of stoppage time.

3:46 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

RVP fluffs his lines off a long possession and Mike Dean blows the halftime whistle as the Baggies lead 1-0.

Analysis of the goal from Gary Neville and Caradonna. Great job by Caradonna. He was correct that Luke Shaw did horribly off a long clearance from Bo Myhill. He let Andre Wisdom and Wise win the ball too easily then got too easily down the right . He ran down the right and his pass was put away by Sess with a finish in the upper 90 from about 25 yards out. The goal was scored in the eighth. Caradonna correctly stated that Di Maria lost Sess on the run.

The second half is underway . Ander Herrera has been replaced by the Hair Bear.

4:02 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Di Maria appeared top be fouled near the corner flag , but a corner is given. Shouts for hand ball.

4:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSS !!!! HAIR BEAR TIES IT UP TWO AND A HALF MINUTES INTO THE SECOND HALF . HE CONTROLLED A PASS FROM SHAW OFF HIS CHEST , WENT PAST LESCOTT ,THEN SCORED WITH A ROCKET INTO THE ROOF OF THE NET.

4:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Talk about instant impact off the bench! A great substitution by LVG.

4:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WIN IT UNITED!

4:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

What a time for Hair Bear to score his first goal for United.

4:08 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I've just walked in the office door in time to see the replay of Hair Bear's goal. Good stuff!

4:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A long range effort from Blind is very high and very wide.

4:09 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Raffa has a cross blocked for a corner.

4:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good afternoon, Bob. He scored two and a half minutes after coming off the bench. His first goal for United and hopefully the first of many.

4:11 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

"Attack, attack, attack, attack, attack!" chant the United faithful.

4:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I second that.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sess called for hand ball.

4:13 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I thought it might have been Fellaini's first for United. He's been a flop so far but maybe that well taken goal might be a turning point for his career at OT.

4:13 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I sure hope so. His time out of the first time may have been time for him to reflect.

Janu picks up a decent free kick out wide. What they do with this one?

4:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nasty foul by Lescott on Jan . It should be a booking. I think it was.

4:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Di Maria to take.

4:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Half an hour plus stoppage time remaining with the match in the balance.

4:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sess tries to win a corner off of Rojo, but it ends up as a goal kick.

4:19 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now a corner opportunity for United - cleared out by Gardner.

4:20 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh dear - Berahino has run through the United defense and slotted home.

2-1 Baggies!

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BLOODY HELL !!! THE BAGGIES GO 2-1 UP. BERAHINO GOT BEHIND THE UNITED DEFENSE AND SLOTTED IN THEW CORNER PAST DE GEA.

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

United caught ball watching and paid the price.

4:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

COME ON DESMOND!

4:23 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

LVG and Giggsy looking pensive on the bench. Falcao to come on.

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My video has been lost. I may need to look for another link.

4:25 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Falcao should be starting.

4:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rafa runs forward and launches one toward the city centre.

4:26 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - great turn and shot by RVP - hits the post and then Janu rifles well over.

4:30 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looking at the table now, Citeh are five points behind Chelski, Liverpool are 9 points behind them, and United, Arsenal and Spurs are 11 points behind them. Wow!

4:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I found a different link. About fifteen minutes plus stoppage time remaining. Ashley Young on for Di Maria. That won't help us at all.

4:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Di Maria is exhausted from playing two useless friendlies in China. I'm none too pleased about that.

4:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That was the final roll of the dice by LVG.

4:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rafael plus more like Ninja Turtle than a footballer.

4:35 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Brunt passes out to the left to Pocognoli then the return cross by Brunt is out of play.

4:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just saw that Bale is out for Real's visit to Anfield.

4:37 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rojo really isn't the guy that you'd want that chance to fall to.

4:37 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Gardener clears for a United corner.

4:38 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sorry . it was well of by Rojo. It's hard to depend on these streaming vids. Agreed, Bob.

4:38 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Daley Blind took one for the team there. Yellow.

4:39 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Shame - I was looking forward to possibly taking that afternoon off.

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

Five minutes plus stoppage to be played now.

The Baggies bring on some reinforcements.

4:42 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A cynical foul by Blind on Sess to prevent a break and was deservedly booked

4:42 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Mulumbu on for Berahino, who scored the winning goal at OT and what may be the winning goal this evening.

4:43 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

GOAL! Daley blind scores his first for United!!!

Desmond!

4:43 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Neatly steered in with his left peg there.

4:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
DESMOND AT THE HAWTHORNS. AS RAFFA HAD A CROSS LAID OFF BY FALCAO THEN A SUPERB FINISH BY BLIND. HIS FIRST GOAL FOR UNITED AND A TIMELY ONE TOO.

4:44 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now go on and win it!

4:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It's LVG time!

4:45 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed.
WIN IT UNITED!

4:45 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Giggsy is in the technical area shouting instructions.

4:46 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poconogli down, but seems to be okay,

4:46 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rafa win another corner. Come on!

4:46 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - Falcao knocked it down well but Hair Bear couldn't control it.

4:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Raffa wins a corner. Four minutes of stoppage time. Ping pong off the corner and a tame effort by Hair Bear goes straight to Myhill./

4:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Young wins a corner.

4:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And another corner.

A wild effort from Blind this time.

4:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Blind shoots well wide off a cleared corner.

4:48 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

United pouring the pressure on now. The Baggies struggling to clear their lines.

4:50 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Rojo takes one for the team. Yellow.

4:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rojo booked for a foul on Mulumbu near the halfway line. That should just about do it,

4:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It finishes Desmond thanks to a late equalizer from Blind. Next is Chelsea at OT on Sunday.

4:51 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Full-time: 2-2. Points shared.

Probably not good enough for United but WBA will be disappointed to give up the late goal.
