No matter what happens... the Arse have to score three goals minimum

3:44 PM

Good afternoon, UWS. I'm watching both CL matches.

3:46 PM

Afternoon MUR
Glad you came over to this thread
I just have the Arsenal match on.
Is the other on FS2?

3:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

If Arsenal concede.. not much would change.. they would still need three but only tie

First chance for Monaco...over the top and wide

3:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Just over by Moutinho in what looks to be a nightmare of a return to Monaco for Arsene.

3:48 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers UWS. The other match is on FS2.

3:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Did you see the lIverpool game
They should have been way behind at half
Played better second half but boy what a lucky goal!!

United are killed at Swansea twice with deflections!
Shelvey's shot against United and Pool's goal last night!

3:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My pick to win the Champions League is on FS 2. They need to come for a goal down against Bayer Aspirin.

3:49 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What a difference this would be if Arsenal didn't concede that late goal
Do Citeh have a chance because Messi didn't score that pen or rebound

3:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I did see the match. The Swans dominated the first half and should have won. I think the deflection for the goal came off one of the central defenders

3:50 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Blackburn take the lead at home to Brentford.
Good score for Ipswich

3:51 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Citeh need to score twice without conceding. They have a chance , but very slim odds.

3:51 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

No, the defender did a sliding tackle... went off Henderson's shin... it bounced on the ground and over the keeper's head

3:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I thought Arsenal would have started faster here

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I have the link playing . Cheers UUWS

3:53 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners were so bad that even Drac looked world class. That takes a lot of work.

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Good
I have this one saved
It is just for SS

3:55 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Norwich take the lead at Huddersfield... no... it has been called off for handball

3:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Have Norwich taken the lead? Bradley Johnson has a goal disallowed for hand ball and is booked at Hudders.

3:56 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The Blades take the lead at Walsall

3:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bob will not be pleased that the Evil Blades have taken the lead at Walsall.

3:57 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hudders fans will be delighted that the goal was disallowed as Bradley Johnson has played for local rivals , LUFC.

3:58 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jay O' Shea has scored for the Gils. So good it rhymes and what a name for Sty. Paddy's Day

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Giroud with a header just wide

3:59 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Giroud heads a cross from Bellerin just wide. The Gunners could have used a goal

3:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Goal for league leaders Bournemouth... terrific strike

4:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Harry Arter gives the Cherries the lead at Cardiff. I think that puts them top.

4:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They were on top on GD going into tonight

4:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Derby vs Middlesbrough is the big match in the Championship this evening.

4:03 PM

Pompey take the lead

4:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Tim Ream, the American international , misses a sitter for Bolton vs Ipswich

4:03 PM

Congratulations , UWS. A chance of making the playoffs?

4:04 PM

4:06 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wolves score a pen against Wednesday on Tuesday

4:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That definitely makes it a complete evening.

4:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bad news for Athletico as their keeper is off injured, limping off the pitch.

4:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jan Oblak on for Miguel Angel Moya as Athletico will need to come from behind with a reserve keeper.

4:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another missed sitter for the Gunners

4:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Kos hits the bar but was offside anyway

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Ruddy Norah... all that promotion chatter.... Pompey are now losing!

4:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

It shouldn't have been offside
It was a back pass

4:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kos was offside, but hit the top of the bar with just the keeper to beat as a Monaco defender had a back header of a Gunners free kick

4:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. It should have counted as a missed sitter.

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I didn't feel good about Sunday's game but it turned out well
Don't have a good feeling about this Sunday either

4:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Atletico take the lead to tie it up on AGG

4:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL !!! ATHLETICO SCORE WITH A DEFLECTED EFFORT TO TIE IT UP 1-1 ON AGG. A FREE KICK HAD BEEN HEADED AWAY

4:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Pompey now trail. Sorry UWS.

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

so last week, Real lost home but squeaked thru
Chelsea drew at home and are out
THis week... how will the away team do

4:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I know... everyone needs to stop talking about promotion!

4:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hearts take the lead... close to promotion already!

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I thought United played the best they had in a long time against the Spurs. They will need to do the same this Sunday to stand a chance of getting anything from Anfield. I would make our ribals the favorites.

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Me too but they've not been their best the last two games
Yesterday and Blackburn

4:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They sure.are. Rangers and Hibs look set to fight it out in the playoffs for the second promotion spot.

4:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Charlton score at doomed Blackpool

What a drop for recent Prem team

4:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Tangerines are all , but relegated to League One. I think they have a lot of financial problems.

4:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Runaway leaders Bristol City have taken the lead at Ashton Gate

4:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Bristol City , set to replace the Tangerines, take the lead vs Crewe.

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Hartlepool take the lead at Oxford... Stelling would be thrilled

4:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Jeff's team take the lea vs Oxford United and
GOAL !!! GIROUD SCORES FOR THE GUNNERS!

4:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

GOAL... THE ARSE TAKE THE LEAD!!

Giroud nets it... I missed it cuz I had turned to the other match

Lucky bounce but great finish
Charlie is thrilled

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Welbeck runs with the ball... but just loses the ball.. he does a lot of running with no clue of what he is going to do with it
I don't miss him

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! Wellie has a shot deflected inches wide for a corner. The corner was cleared.

4:23 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners definitely are worth their lead. They have dominated and the goal started as Alexis nicked the ball off of Brazilian defender , Wallace. The ball broke to Wellie, who put Giroud through. His shot saved by the keeper, and Giroud put away his rebound

4:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I don't miss Wellie, but I think he's played well tonight. He assisted on the goal and was unlucky to see hi shot deflected inches wide

4:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Preston take the lad vs the Posh.

4:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Sanchez goes down in the box
Ref blows whistle... gives him a yellow for diving

4:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Alexis is booked for diving. I think the ref was correct after looking at the replay.

4:27 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Charlie thinks it is a pen

4:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bristol C. two up

4:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wallace barely touched Alexis with his finger tips and Alexis went down as if he was rugby tackled. The right call.

4:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Goal at Ewood... all square. Brentford tie it up

4:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Desmond at Fratton

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Brentford tie it up at Blackburn with a deflected effort.

4:30 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Congratulations, UWS

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

oooh, hammered across by Welbeck... Giroud with a deflection... straight to the keep

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Half time
So far so good for Arsenal... they could do it

4:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bugger... Cambridge behind at home against Tranmere

4:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The Gunners are one up at the half, but need two more goals.

4:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Into stoppage time in the match at Athletico.Four minutes of stoppage time due to the injury to Athletico's keeper.

I will be gone the first fifteen minutes of the second half. I need to take Melanie and a friend to her violin teacher's house , so they can get a ride to practice with the UT Brownsville orchestra,

4:43 PM

Talk to you when you get back

4:46 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They're off in Monaco

4:47 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal had a chance there... comes to nothing
Wellie should have done more to get it back to Giroud

4:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Rangers only drawing at home to Alloa 0-0

4:48 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Nice quick movement from the Arse but a wasted cross by Ozil but gets a corner

4:51 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Comes to nothing

4:51 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bournemouth have lost 24 points from winning positions!! Wow, look how far they could have been ahead!

4:52 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Arsenal are by far the better team.
Do I, as a United fan, want the Arse to win to keep them busy?

4:53 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hiya, guys - I'm just back from some serious wedding planning. Thanks for getting us going this afternoon.

4:53 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I think you probably do want both Citeh and Arsenal to somehow stumble their way through this round to keep both busy. United have every chance of finishing top three at this point.

4:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Free kick chance for Arsenal
Sanchez fouled... to the right of the goal... Sanchez and Ozil standing over the ball.... Ozil with a nice effort... keeper saves it but it was going in

Maybe even top two - isn't that incredible?

4:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Brentford invite Desmond to Ewood

4:57 PM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Oh - another free kick is cleared out - Arsenal need to make these chances count.

4:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Are Chelsea definitely first?
Remember, when you left the Em, Citeh were six points behind United with FOUR to play

Scramble in box... SHOOT!!
