I am back from coaching and ready for the match
I have enjoyed the pictures that our own David has sent
Starting lineups are as follows
CITY XI: Ederson, Adarabioyo, Kompany (C), Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Walker, Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling, Aguero, Roberts
UNITED XI De Gea, Valencia, Lindelof, Smalling, Blind, Herrera, Pogba, Rashford, Mkhitaryan, Lingard, Lukaku
Ive taped the George Best show.. can't wait to watch that too
I hope ESPN do a better job on the microphone tonight... It was atrocious in Salt Lake
Didn't turn it over to ESPN until the Best show was over. I didn't want to see any of it... I hope it is good
Our on site report says it is a home crowd for United. They out number City fans 50 to 1
City players getting booed...United cheered
United are the big uns... always!
ESPN finally get started and we have Derek Rae and Craig Burley with him
ESPN here for 30 secs and off to commercials!
Will they miss the kick off... they definitely will miss the second half kick off...they are 2 for 2 missing the start
Well, it hasn't kicked off but didn't see the teams come out
We are off
No mention of the bees on the shirts
Sterling getting roundly booed for his Liverpool and City ties
Rashford is out on the left... I wanted him to play up to with Lukaku
They mention the bees
Kompany fouls his compatriot
Herrera with a shot... decent effort... saved thru his hands
Nasty neck tat
Great run and pass by Lukaku... Lingard blew the chance
Lukaku showed a lot of pace and strength... I like it
Commentating so much better
All United to start
City with their first shot
Sterling shot saved by De Gea
United playing well... and ATTACKING
City is almost in there
Corner
Great tackle from Pogba
Rashford wins a corner...bloody short one...gets it back...fails to beat the first man
SIGH
Rashford down hurt
Seems to be running it off
Nice turn and shot by Miki
When United have the chance, they break. quick
Pogba with a free kick chance from miles out... straight into the keepers arms
United survive a scare!!
Evening, mate - I'm joining you at the half hour mark. How's it been so far? I'm going to read your comments.
That was a foul by Smalling... he has to stop being so stupid
Hey, Welcome Bob
United have been. on top and playing with pace
City are coming back into it
It sounds like it's been a good match.
United break... Miki can't find the pass...Damn
Did you see Leeds drew with Borussia M'Glabach today 1-1 in Germany
I hope that MUR is having a cracking time tonight. Loved the pictures. I haven't seen my beloved play live since I was a teenager.
I hadn't. That's not a bad result.
Looks to be a full strength United side tonight.
USELESS BY SMALLING THERE
Oh dear - Smalling nearly contrived to give Citeh a big chance.
Took the lead inside 2 minutes
Check the scores on Fotmob
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LUKAKU!!!
GOAL! The Chunk does it again - this time against the old enemy!
Great finish!
GOAL! Rashford with #2 - oh my!!!!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RASHFORD!!!!!
Im LOVING IT!!!
United broke with pace there through Miki who fed Rash.
United looking mighty good right now.
2-0!
Great to hear you being so happy with your club, mate. It's been a long time.
THEY ARE ATTACKING WITH PACE
Entertain me
Good hit by Foden - turned around by Twilight.
Yaya picks up a yellow for a nasty one on Miki.
Keep it tight in the back!
I love how fast United are going forward!
Wow - Pogba taking on a man! What's gotten into United tonight?
Don't know a few of these Citeh players - Roberts, Foden.
Blind gets a yellow for tugging back Roberts. Free kick chance for Ginger Winger.
and they didn't name all the substitutes
City have a free kick... comes to nothing
Half time
WELL DONE MAN U
And that's nothing. And it's half-time. MUR can have a lovely half-time churro with thoughts of that first half.
De Gea is done for the day
Blind and Smalling too
Most others are still on
ESPN are showing the players come out and aren't in commercial!!!
BREAKING NEWS... WE WON'T MISS THE KICK OFF
Same again please
Jones is so bad
Useless little pass there
Rash tries to cross to Luk but it deflected and almost went in
Corner is a decent one... Lu heads it wide
oooh
Luk hits a hammer.... off the woodwork... GREAT EFFORT
Rashford off for Martial
Miki for Carrick
Herrara for Fellaini
Decent side netting effort by Pogba...he's looked much better tonight... A force
20 minutes for United to add on or hold on
City go close
Romero saves... rebound lobbed too high
I'm back for a bit of the second half. How has it been?
Looks as if Lukaku has been doing the biz. Is he your pick for Golden Boot? Might be mine.
Sounds like MUR is mixed in with a load of Citeh fans.
Double sub now - F-H and Perreira.
Oh - United have it in the net but it's ruled offside.
United get the ball in then net eventually but the flag is up
Welcome back
United have not been as good but still on top
I think Lukaku will be my GB... get your hands off him!
That has got to be a really satisfying performance for United fans. Top four next season?
I can't ride those coat tails? Okay - I'll tip Harry Kane then.
United survive a chance
"One for the cameras" from Romero there.
City creating more recently than they have the whole game
Pogba has looked good tonight
I'm off again, mate. Have a good evening!
You should pick Milner for your GB
I'm back again. Kate told me to get back on the blog and finish the match.
Milner? I might pick him for running the most yards or taking the most rubbish corners that don't beat the first man. Not the top scorer, though. No way.
Take care Bob
She's a good un
2 added minutes
Rae and Burley have been 100% better than in Salt Lake BUT can Rae please stop announcing some names weirdly!!
That's it
A great 2-0 win and. playing well!!!
I am happy Chappy and well done David for seeing them win with ease
That she is. I'm delighted for you and MUR tonight. You might be onto something here.
Take care Bob
I am off to bed!
Sleep well, mate - dream of title runs.
