De Gea out
Shaw being abused by Jose but in the starting line up!!
Manchester United: Romero, Darmian, Bailly, Rojo, Shaw, Fellaini, Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Ander Herrera, Lingard, Ibrahimovic.
I just heard from birthday boy Matt
He is sick and wants to come home
I am going to pick him up
I'll miss the start of the match but will be back
TTFN
Morning, UWS - thanks for getting us going. I'll look forward to chatting with you during the match.
Good morning, Bob. Ready to join you action. Thanks for getting us started, UWS.
Morning, MUR - how are you, mate?
The teams out on the pitch now:
Sunderland: Pickford; Jones, Denayer, Kone, Oviedo; Larsson, Rodwell, Cattermole, N’Dong; Anichebe, Defoe. Subs: Mannone, Djilobodji, Borini, Pienaar, Khazri, Manquillo, Gibson.

Referee: Craig Pawson (South Yorkshire)
Sunderland get us underway at the Stadium of Light. Peter Drury and Clive Allen on the mics.
Clive Allen calls this a "must win game for both sides." Do you agree, MUR?
A minute into the match.
COME ON UNITED!
I'm up and a little tired, but otherwise doing well. Thank you for asking. How are you?
I don't recognize this United side at all - they look like Everton.
Lindy long range effort was picked out by Pickford.
Doing okay - we had a good time at a dinner party with a group friends last night. Well rested and ready for a new week.
Yes. I agree with Clive that it's a must win for both sides
Great to hear and it's a short week this week due to the holiday weekend . Glad you had a great time/.
LOL, mate. Interesting reference given we played Everton on Tuesday, Hair Bear and Moyes are also ex Toffees. So are Roddy and Anichebe.
Pogba wins a corner.
United have an early free kick on the edge of the Sunderland box.
The corner from Shaw is too deep. The Black Cats can't clear and Rojo wins a free kick just outside the box.
Zlatan hovering over this one.
Free kick deflects off the wall and goes out for a corner.
The free kick from Zlatan deflects for a corner. The corner from Shaw is cleared and Lindy fouls Ndong the Bong.
Something is wrong if we can't thrash these mugs. I think even Richard Burton can defeat them.
It's been all United pressure so far - a goal is coming.
Anichebe wins Sunderland a rare corner opportunity.
Anichebe wins the Black Cats first corener of the match
Billy Jones heads the corner from Seb Larsson well wide off of pressure from Bailey.
Luke Shaw just back from injury picks up the match's first yellow card for a rash slide in.
It takes only fourteen minutes for Shaw to be booked on his return to the starting lineup as he was guilty of a p[oor foul on NDong as if smoking a bong.
Easily nodded out and then Ndong chipped tamely back in.
Miki wins a corner off of Larsson.
Ndong attacks off the corner from Shaw that was headed away.
Rojo called for a high boot on Dafoe about thirty yards from goal.
I am back as Rojo is an idiot and kung fu kicks a guy and thinks nothing is wrong with that!
Morning boys
The free kick from Bryan Oviedo is deflected straight to Cesar Romero.
United have been toothless from I was listening to on the way home
Ibra can't kick the ball
Welcome back, mate. No goals as of yet but United is dominating.
Still no chances created though...this is the BOTTOM club
No pace either
85 days since the punters at Stadium of Light have seen a home goal. Crikey!
How's Matt doing, mate? Is he okay?
Welcome back, UWS> After a good start it's been the same old United.
21 today and sick!!
He is so bummed because of the game he's going to miss
Zlatan seems particularly lazy today.
I don't understand what Jose says to his team
Go out and suck?
Sunderland have had more chances than United
Pass on my best to him.
Lee Cattermole straight at Cesar Romero.
Defoe nearly in there but he was flagged offside.
Defoe almost in
Lingard down the other end... keeper makes a good save
Useless corner by United... of course... another poor cross by MIki
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IBRA
GOAL! Mr. Lazy wakes up and scores!
WAY HAY !!! FINALLY, ZLATAN GIVES US THE LEAD AND WITH QUITE A FINISH
Now, United need to score at least three more
still took 30 minutes
Zlatan moves on the 17 goals, level with Diego Costa now. Still four goals behind Lukaku.
It took a moment of magic . After some poor crosses from Miki. The ball was laid out to Zlatan . He cut inside and shot right in the corner from just outside the box, giving Pickford no chance.
Jose should be wearing the United blazer and tie... and get a shave
Peter Drury and Clive Allen are drooling over Zlatan now, but I'm not sure that he does enough during the course of a match. Your thoughts?
Pogba curls a long range effort straight to Pickford,.
A bunch of Swedes in the stands!
Larrsen or Ibra fans?
We desperately needed a goal scorer. We have our fair share of workers, but few that can provide a moment of magic like he just did. He has filled that vacancy despite some other faults.
Larsson? LOL!
Great pass by Ibra, great cross by Shaw... Hopeless by Fellaini
Oh - Shaw got to the by-line and teed up Hair Bear. Just couldn't poke it home.
BLOODY HELL! Hair Bear miss kicks from a yard out after good work from Shaw. Should have put United two up./
Why is he called Pickford. Because he "PICKS" the ball out of the back of the net.
Oviedo has done his hammy - he'll have to come off.
Bryan Oviedo is down with what looks an injured hammy. I guess he gets to escape the Titanic!
So bad David
Is Jose going to give Shaw some credit
He's been picking on Shaw
Roberto Martinez, the Belgian National team manager, revisits what is his Waterloo. He was sacked by the Toffees after they were thrashed here , which had continued a poor run of results.
Manquillo, the Spaniard, is on for Oviedo, the injured Costa Rican.
He might. He he Shawed up or defense?
This United side keep the other side in the match and they will then concede..... almost did just then!!
PHEW!!!! Anichebe got behind the United back four and Romero blocked his close range effort for a corner. Great pass from Billy Jones.
United last won here in 2013 when we were Moyes Boyz and when Jan was Jan the Man, scoring twice.
Untied have a gear to move up to....THEN DO IT
WOW - Sebby Larsson has been sent off!
WOW!!! Seb Larsson gets a straight red for a foul on Herrera. The last thing the Black Cats needed as they are already a goal down
The OTHER Swede gets a straight red
Not sure it was red
Sunderland will just sit back
United will not be able to break them down
Jose will blame the brick wall in front of them
Not sure why Larsson is arguing - that was studs up and over the ball. Ridiculous challenge. And the Sunderland fans are applauding him off.
Seb Larsson idiotically refuses to leave the pitch. Finally heads into the tunnel.
I don't see how the Black Cats can back into this one . They had a tough enough time with eleven let alone ten.
Craig Pawson may sound like a Black Cat , but sure hasn't done them any favors.
Herera being unfairly criticized by the ignorant Black Cats fans.
Herrera is being booed every touch now - really unsporting from the Black Cats fans.
Black Cats fans are delighted as a long range effort from Herrera lands in Row M.
HT
I'm afraid it just not good enough still
The half-time whistle goes and Sunderland are deep in the mire. Not sure what Moyesy can do about it.
United are a goal up and a man up at the half despite an average performance.
Just looking around the internet and I am on the Guardian website
I just looked on the Norwich Reading match page... IT SAYS IT ALL ABOUT POSSESSION... HOW IT MEANS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
Possession Norwich 45% Reading 55%.... well done Reading you had more of the ball
Final score
Norwich SEVEN Reading 1
Why doesn't anyone ever say anything!!!
Team out for the second half
United are just going to pass the ball around and create nothing
Robbie Mustoe agrees with me
The second half is underway
Celtic's 'nearest' rival, Aberdeen, thumped at home by Rangers 3-0
We are underway at the SoL
Here we go
Just passing the ball around
OH YES!!
MIKI SCORES!!!!!
WAY HAY!!!! MIKI PUTS UNITED TWO UP
More please... show no mercy
Did Sunderland touch the ball?
I am serious...United need to score many more
GD may come into it
Man down
Team deleted
United should go for the jugular
It may have been just passing around, but United scored from it. In fact, he scored before a Black Cats player even touched the ball. Great finish from Miki.
Zlatan down under the challenge from Pickford. I'm sure what Zlatan could have done to have prevented that?
Zlat charges the keeper...hope he is okay
We do have some important matches coming
Anderlecht twice and Chelsea
Looks like he is
Pogba called for a foul on Cattermole.
Rojo9 heads away the free kick from NDong
United break.... WHAT AN ATROCIOUS PASS BY POGBA
The boys have always said he is great... HE SUCKS!!
His name is POGPANTS from now on
The answer to your question is no. The first Black Cat to touch the ball in the second half was Pickford , to "pick" the ball out of the back of the net. So bad: By the Black Cats that is.
The corner kick was nowhere near in the arc... what's the point!! Then the corner is pathetic!! Serves him right
and by you for using that pun twice!
I saw you post Rangers win at Aberdeen. I think that was a surprise as the Dons had been in a good run of form and are in second place.
United win a free kick
Take it quickly for some reason and go backwards
Sigh
The second time was being nice by answering your question, LOL!
One lucky goal from these stupid free kicks United are giving up and it is game back on
Last time we were in the Northeast it happened.
Two up at Boro and then they score and then it is squeaky bum time.
atrocious cross by United's captain!
Jan is stil a United player?
How about this? Dreary by Drury as he stated that the Black Cats have gone 630 minutes or nine weeks without scoring in the Prem. That really is dreary by Drury. I thought Dafoe had scored more recently. I guess dreary Drury knows.
sigh
Back for the last half hour after having brekkies with Kate.
I was surprised when I heard that. Why is he lingering on at OT?
United take an age to take a short corner... pass it around... then crosses it... just like a corner...just take the DAMN corner
The corner is headed away then Zlatan has a shot blocked by Jason Denyer making him a denier.
Welcome back Bob
I agree with you about Pogba, UWS. He's been a massive disappointment this season.
I will miss the end of the second match because of the game at Siena... stinks that I have to go when my son is not playing
Stupid foul by either Miki or Shaw on Ndong.
Defoe tries a free kick from distance - nothing doing.
Dafoe curls the free kick straight to Romero.
What a wasted from Pogba!
Free kick chance for Sunderland... saved
United are going to rue it when they give these free kicks away
Decent quick attack by United
Do it more often
Pogpants misses from inside the box
HE SUCKS
Even Clive gets on our bandwagon as Pogba miosses a sitter with a close range volley that lands in Row T.
What the hell
Why is he taking off Shaw.
STUPIDITY
He is just playing mind games.... I don't get it
Shaw comes limping off - Daley Blind on for him.
Blind on for Shaw, who gets a pat on the back from Jose on the hour mark.
Done nothing wrong
He does have a yellow but let him play the full 90
Welcome back, Bob. If you missed the second goal I would describe,it , but involves a pun I've already used twice.
Jesse Lingard will pick up a yellow card here.
I caught it from the kitchen - nice strike from Miki!
Just keep the puns coming.
Lindy booked for a foul on Manquillo , but got a boot in the face for his troubles.
Rash on for Lindy
Thanks, mate. Dreary Drury said that Romero sent Pogba on a journey. Surely it was just a cul-de-sac.
Defoe was in the middle of that move and found a yard to shoot. Well over.
Dafoe finally gets the ball, but is well over with a long range effort.
An attacking switch by Moyes as Borini is on for Cattermole.
The table as of now
Chelsea P31 Pts. 75 GD +40
Spurs 31 68. +42
Liverpool 32 63 +28
City 31 61 +25
United 30 57 +21
Arsenal 29 54 +25
Everton 31 51 +19
UNITED NEED GOALS
The Black Cats last two home defeats to United have involved Moyes. Once as a manager of each side.
United could still blow this or come close to blowing it
We need help from Palace tomorrow too.
United break
Bad pass by Zlat
United are toothless
Frustrating from United as they were through on goal and put together ten passes instead of getting a shot off.
Toothless or long in the tooth?
Pogpants wins the ball but fails with the pass
Deneyer the Denier with a last ditch tackle on Rash off a pass from Pog Pants!
Ibra tries to play in Rash again
Fails again
I think you're in good shape for the Europa.
Another poor touch by Zlatan , who seemed to be through on goal.
I sure hope so. I'm not sure how Anderlecht is doing in the Juliper League, who are in the midst of some weird playoff system.
Why is there so much debris on the pitch at the Stadium of Light? Are the Sunderland fans throwing trash at their players?
Based on the Black Cats schedule, I would say they are all but relegated.
One goal and things could all be different
Should have been three or four but it isn't
This match has seemed over for about twenty minutes now. Somehow there are still 15 minutes left.
Well...their team is rubbish!!
Either thrown or wind blown. Hard to say.
I reckon that you'll still run out 0-3 winners today. Plenty of time for another (or two).
BOOM BOOM. Well stated in both French and English.
I think that was the score the last time we won here with Jan scoring twice.
United win a free kick thanks to a Rash challenge from Kone.
Short free kick that goes now here then passed to Pickford. Sigh ...
Jose's final roll of the dice is to karate chop Miki off the pitch.
Some United captain...STUPID yellow
Hair Bear picks up a yellow for kicking the ball away - silly boy.
A long ball from Blind leads to a chip that is attempted to be karate chopped over Pickford , but straight to him.
MORONIC
Thankfully, they wasted another free kick.
You can count on that from Sunderland - they are poor.
Nice turn by the Black Cat
Useless shot..one of those could go in
Now it's Martial into the book for a late one on Pickford. This is the silly part of the match where the ref goes nuts with the cards.
Now Martial gets a yellow
He didn't do anything!
At least Martial wanted to try and get the ball
A really stupid illegal karate chop on Pickford results in a yellow card being picked up.
United win a free kick thanks to a stupid foul by NDong on Pogba.
Free kick chance for United
Pogpants will hit it over or Zlat will hit the wall
Rubbish free kick by Pogpants.
Pogpants hits it wide and over
The free kick from Pogba is not too far wide and looked to have clipped Ndong's head, but Pawson, the cat, says goal kick.
Ndong is booked for a foul no Darmian
Black Cats fans head towards the car park , presumably to make it in time for afternoon tea.
Another wasted Black Cats free kick. Fred gave up a while ago.
I blame Fred.
Ahead of the late match , I guess we will be rooting for Shakespeare's lads , who were claiming earlier in the season that something was rotten in the state of Denmark.
GOAL! Told you - 0-3 United. Still complaining, UWS?
Three nil
Rashford scores United's third
WAY HAY!!! RASH SCORES HIS FIRST GOAL IN AGES AS UNITED GO THREE UP LATE ON.
I am
Still not good enough in my book
tHRFEE MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME TO MATCH THE NUMBER OF uNITED GOALS.
Why not get a fourth
Ibra was almost in ....then blows it
Darmian with a yellow
