Looks like Real will be wearing all black today
What will United wear?
Red doesn't clash with white!!
United are going to be wearing Red shirts , white shorts , white socks
This woman needs to shut up!!!
She is just yelling and arguing and not letting others talk
This match used be between European Cup winners and the European Cup Winners Cup winners
The first Super Cup was in 1972 with a two legged final where Ajax beat Rangers.
The first one off match was in 1998 for good (84, 86 and 91 were all one gamers)
United won it once in the history in 1991

Eight players have played for both teams
Laurie Cunningham
David Beckham
Gabriel Heinze
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Cristiano Ronaldo

Angel di Maria
I hope United go out to win this and not go and try not to lose
United's win against Red Star Belgrade was a one off game at Old Trafford because of trouble in Yugoslavia
Ronaldo almost broke his neck getting off the bus!!
United won only 1-0 and missed a pen
So Bale starts for Real... does that mean he stays?
I am sure this match doesn't count toward being cup-tied
Apparently, it very warm in Skopje and a drinks break will given to the players
I am ok with that but they keep the clock running... why? Just stop it!!
Only 33K fit in the stadium
Teams are coming out of the tunnel
Both captains bringing out the trophies they won last season... I like that
All Italian officials today
Every question asked to the woman... she talks for TEN MINUTES!!
Tony Jones and sadly David Pleat on the microphone
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
United keeping the ball for a while but not going anywhere but then a ball to Lukaku... almost in but taken away
There is also the League Cup matches kicking off all over England as I type
Real win the first corner of the match
Struth... useless defending by United allow Bale to get his foot on the ball...phew....he poked it wide
All preseason, I haven't been too impressed with United's back three or four
There will be a three min water break at the 30 and 75 th minutes
Early goals in the League Cup
Barnsley 1-0 Morcambe
Bristol C 1- Plymouth
Grimsby 0-1 Derby
Great run by Miki... I think he was touched... he wouldn't have gone down if he hadn't been
Miki with a dangerous cross just blocked
He tripped over himself... I don't think it was a foul and not a dive either
United dominating at the moment
Both Bristols are hosting matches tonight...just a bit of gossip!
Wonder if they have hosted the same night. Not sure the police are too thrilled
That wasn't a foul...or it was by Smalling
More terrible defending from a corner
Real hit the bar!
United break... Pogba takes a shot from miles out... PASS IT TO MIKI
Holy Crap... United defending has been very bad
An atrocious clearance by Darmian
Real starting to be on top
Modric whips the ball across that somehow landed in De Gea's arms
United sitting too far back
Again, the defending is embarrassing
1-0 Real..... bugger
Terrible pass by Valencia!!
After the first 10 minutes, no United player is doing anything
Drinks break.... BUT... the clock still ticks!!
How much added time will it be
We are off again
Navas looks like he is playing for Norwich!!
Herrera with a free kick... far too long... straight out of the play
Sigh
Good afternoon, UWS. Sorry for not being around, but I have been really busy running end of Summer errands. I will be leaving at halftime and am recording the match. I will be in and out for the League Cup match tomorrow, but should be around for the second half.
Lukaku called off side...he should have left it to Herrera... he's the one that hit it!!
NOT SMART
United creating some chances.... USELESS EFFORT BY POGPANTS
OH!!!! The Chunk had a shot blocked after great hold up play by Pogba.
He is trying too hard!
Hi David
Glad you're here
Is Bale auditioning for United or Chelsea?
Cheers, Dave. I should be around for about another five minutes. It's been a crazy day considering it's Summer vacation.
I want Rashford on
High and wide by Herrera.
Nice cross by Valencia... cleared
Will Bob be around tomorrow? I googled Carabao, the sponsors of the League Cup. It's an energy drink from Thailand.
The picture of Yours Truly with the Shield is in front of Bob's beloved grapefruit tree.
Lindy booked for a foul on Isco.

Glad to see Pompey up at Evil Neil's Cardiff.
Grimsby vs Derby postponed due to rain. They didn't do that back in our day.
Well won by Pogpants... can United do something with it
Too slow
I noticed that there aren't any northern clubs facing southern clubs in the League Cup.
Lukaku gets a header on goal... straight at the keeper
The Chunk shoots straight to Navas.
Into stoppage time. Not sure how much?
I see a pair of minutes and halfway through that.
Wednesday equalize on the on Tuesday
Pogba should have taken a shot there... passed it to Real instead
I don't get it... two minutes added and we stopped for three
WHY IS NO ONE SAYING ANYTHING
Half time
It was great chatting with you, albeit for a few minutes . Sorry I couldn't stay longer. I will try to be around for Leeds vs Port Vale tomorrow. Cheers.
Wednesday now2-1 up
This woman is still just rabbiting on!!!!
Take care MUR
Teams waiting in tunnel
There hasn't been that much of a gulf... shut it idiots!
Rashford on for Lingard... that's the way it supposed to be in the first place
We are off with no commentators!!
45 seconds in so far... no talk
over a minute
I like it with the no Pleat
Now Fox studio panel are talking... why... it was fine with no talk
Kroos with a great shot and a great save by De Gea
Seriously, the panel don't need to be talking!!
United give the ball away so cheaply again
Great run by Rashford... just too much at the end
2-0
United ripped to shreds
BLOODY HELL
Pogba with a header saved then Lukaku hits the rebound so far wide and high
United two down and what is Jose going to do... bring on Fellaini
Fellaini on for Herrera
Time for some stupid fouls
Fellaini is looking so bad out there
Can't really walk and run properly!
Bale hits the crossbar... wide open with the run
The defenders are really really really concerning me
They have been atrocious!!
YES!!!
2-1 a goal on a rebound by Lukaku
Nice shot by Matic
He should have had a brace!
70th minute
United win first corner
Ronaldo stretching
Terrible free kick by Rashford
Didn't beat the first man
Following cross.. same result
Real bringing on two players... Assensio and Lukas V
Water break.... clock still running
Bale being replaced
Isco off too
Decent cross by Matic to Fellaini.. he heads the back of Sergio Ramos' head
Fellaini is bleeding
Fellaini still on the ground. How much time will be added with this and the water break
Fellaini has a new shirt broth out to him
Got a huge storage around his head... Terry Butcher style except black
oooh... United create a chance... Rashford should have scored!!
Real break... great saving tackle by Darmian
Ronaldo coming on
He'll get a good cheer from everyone
Rashford should have scored! So bummed
Free kick chance... Rashford to take...USELESS EFFORT!!
SO BAD
Another atrocious free kick for United
Straight to the keeper
Who knows how much time is left
87 gone but we had the water break and the Fellaini injury
7 added minutes
Fellaini heads toward goal... easy save
Then.. De Gea with a great save
Useless defending again by United from a corner
Free header from Ramos.... thankfully wide
terrible cross by Rashford
He has not been good since he came on
Rash in the book for a rash challenge
Valencia fouls Ronaldo
Free kick chance for the ex red devil... skied
That is it
Ref blows the whistle before the 7th minute
Not happy
Take care boys
