NBCSN's pregame has started!!
LOVELY JUBBLEY!!!
After a very surprisingly exciting World Cup and England's wonderful run to the semis....it is back to the bread and butter
COME ON MAN U
Football is back! Thanks for getting us started, mate. I can't wait for the match. I'll be back for that one later.
BREAKING: Paul Pogba named Manchester United captain!
He might be starting... team news not out yet
Pogba starts and is captain!
Is that the turning point for his United career
Fred and Pereira starts
Lukaku, Martial and Vardy on the benches
This is the first season that I haven't picked United to win.... PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG!!
Man Utd: de Gea, Darmian, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw, Fred, Andreas Pereira, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Sanchez. Subs: Lukaku, Martial, Smalling, Grant, Young, Fellaini, McTominay.
Leicester: Schmeichel, Amartey, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell, Ndidi, Adrien Silva, Ricardo Pereira, Maddison, Gray, Iheanacho. Subs: Evans, Vardy, Albrighton, Ward, Iborra, Fuchs, Ghezzal.
Referee: Andre Marriner (West Midlands)
United have a team of quality...it is time for Jose gets them to play!!!
I heard on the radio that the board said to Jose...You have the players.... win
Captain of Manchester United and World Cup winner.... This is going to be his season!!
Jose... smiling and upbeat.
Now he is complaining that it took an hour from the hotel and no police escort... complaining already
He needs to just stop being such a grouch and appreciate that you are the manager of Manchester United
Whew! The return of Rebecca Lowe. All’s well with the world
Welcome Steve.... good times indeed...except school is getting far too close!
I’ll be in and out because it’s a work day.
Great to have you on board, Gooner, especially during a weekday. Thanks!
Bloody Work!
Where is Jesse Lingard? There goes my first goalscorer prediction! Curses!
Can City become only the third club to retain the Premier League trophy? Chelsea retained the trophy in '06 and United have retained it in '94, '97, '00, 01, '08 and '09
HAHAHA
Maybe there will be no goals scored in the first WEEKEND!!
I have clicked on the predictions attachment and it won't open
False alarm..finally opened
Again... still very annoyed that Manchester United are wearing not wearing white shorts in their #1 kit... for the first time EVER!!!
Good Afternoon, Bob ,Dave , and Steve. A great way to spend the end of Summer vacation.
I read the comments and did not pick United to win the title for the same reasons as UWS. I agree with Jose naming Pogba captain and we do need to attack.
I don't like the new kits either. I am firm believer in going with the traditional kits.
It is the FIRST TIME EVER I haven't picked United... even under Moyes and LVG!!
I don't mind the shirts... just have white shorts!
Just to let everyone know that I will be returning to work on Monday, so I won't be around for the League Cup action.
It's possible that none of us will get the two points for the first goalscorer. Lukaku and Vardy both on the bench - they were the most popular choices. A couple picked Alexis - he's at least on the pitch. None of us picked Fred!
I'll be back at work again on Monday, too.
Good afternoon, Bob. Are you referring to Fred, the United player or my cat?
Teams in the tunnel. It seems like we just finished the World Cup yesterday. Crikey!
Teams in the tunnel... Pogba praying... and here they come!!
Players out in the tunnel and now entering on to the pitch
Come on United... play at 100 mph.... forward!
Agreed. A short break between the WC and the league season.
Some really interesting predictions this year. A lot have picked City for the title. But I don't think so. History has proven that it's really difficult to defend Premiership titles.
Agreed. The toy cars in the Manchester 100 were faster than the way United played at times last season
Great to have you boys on board again. I'm hoping that my appeal reached a few people and that we might have some other visitors before long.
I know the two Nocitos picked Sanchez and one picked Mata
Don't like this commercial crap
I think Citeh will defend the title . Don't really see anyone else taking the title away from them
Man Utd just bought Maguire...he changed shirts in the tunnel
It is 12 vs 10
I picked the Chunk, not realizing that he would be on the subs bench. So much for getting points for that one.
Finally NBC are back... are you FOX in disguise!
Actually Fox didn't do that in the WC
WE ARE OFF
Leicester get us going and the Premier League season has begun - wahay!
They're off from OT!
COME ON MAN UNITED ! ATTACK ATTACK!
Nice one, UWS! You wish you had Harry!
Nice ball by Pogba as United finally get it in the attacking side of the field
Field looks great
Oh my word! It's a penalty for United!
PENALTY FOR UNITED
COME ON SANCHEZ
What a numpty - arm up there by Amarti. What was he thinking!
Damn it.. it's Pogba
PENALTY UNITED! THE FOXES CALLED FOR HAND BALL DEFINITE HAND BALL BY AMARTY AFTER WES MORGAN BLOCKED A SHOT FROM ALEXIIS
Pogba is up to take it....
Odd technique but scores!!!
United 1-0 up within two minutes. None picked Pogba, btw.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! CAPTAIN POGS BLASTS THE PENALTY IUN THE UPPER 90 AS KASPER DOVE THE WRONG WAY
YES!!! ONE NIL!!!!
Pogba!!
Shame Sanchez didn't take.. anyone pick him?
If not... Sanchez to score next
Didn't like how Pogba didn't celebrate that much
Blimy. What a mug waving him arm out there. 1-0 to the Black-Shorts!
Definite pen
Agreed, Bob. When I saw the weird jog , i was skeptical , but delighted that he scored.
Ball is moving quickly here
I like it so far but keep going forward
Hello, Steve. He sure was, but we'll take it.
Silly walk run up but deadly finish.
Me too. Hope United sustain this pace the entire match
Rashford looks good with #10 on his shirt
Notice that United does not have a #5 in the squad...keeping it open for January?
Agreed. Not a fan of the silly walk, but definitely pleased with the finish. Captain Pogs a python in disguise?
The President was bought from Norwich
Great free kick in for Leicester but well cleared by Pogs.
Great pace going forward there... shame it came to nothing
BOOM BOOM, DAVE!The fourth President at that.,
Pogba has passed well to start
Totally agree with Mustoe... MUST keep going forward
Stupid foul by Darmian
Stupid foul by Darmian on Gray. The last thing we want is to gift the Foxes a way back into the match
I never like the gift of captaincy to an unsettled player. Seems desperate.
But Pogs must love his silky black shorts this year. Looks splendid.
Darmian gives away a silly foul to Gray who was skipping around him. Dangerous chance here for Leicester again with Harry Maguire lurking.
The delivery from the President was more like Trump than Maddison/.
Another great delivery by Maddison but it's cleared out once again.
Don't understand how Pogba , Rashford and Maguire can play even though playing in the final weekend of the WC but Lukaku, Lingard and Vardy can't
Two great defensive headers by Pogba so far
Funny line on the BBC
"In my opinion, best goal of the season so far"
They are talking about no celebration by Pogba...not even a raised arm
Pogs looks good in the new kit, Gooner, but what on earth is Alexis doing? He's got his shirt tucked in and shorts hiked up like a grandpa doing the gardening. Extraordinary choice by him.
Bob, are you stating that the delivery from Maddison was Progressive rather than centrist? Just wondering.
Can I still get a point for Sanchez if he scores?
I don't either, mate. Why can't all of these players recover in a month's time?
Yeah - it's one point for the first scorer in the LOB pool.
I have the same question as UWS, but for the Chunk if he comes off the bench and scores the first goal in the pool.
United survive there!! Offside though
Thanks, Bob. There's still hope for a point.
Oh - Ihenacho turns and nearly scores! He was in an offside position but that will still give him some hope.
Ballotelli used to sport a “nah, nothing special” celebration. Maybe He’s wearing a “Pourquois toujours moi?” tee underneath?
Come on United...keep going for a second goal... and a third and more
Alexis knows you look! Don’t look if you can’t handle his hot pants. Actually, don’t handle his hot pants at all.
Not really the Mourinho way, is it UWS?
What is with Sanchez.... he was unstoppable in Arsenal red!! In United red...he gives the ball away all the time!!
I'm going nowhere near Alexis' hot pants!
Agreed. He will call a 1-0 win a perfect performance.
Great job by Rashford...didn't foul stupidly... and won the ball back
Alexis can be a headless chicken in spells.
United should be wearing black socks as well!!
They wore them like a permanent remembrance for Munich 58
Just a few years in the mid 60s they wore red
Like the fact that the tackles are flying in. So do the fans.
Some people on the BBC are saying it was a gifted pen!
Does anyone think it wasn't a penalty?
Fred has been a bit mixed in possession so far and gets a bit lucky when he wins a free-kick after some loose control. We have a scrappy phase at the moment.
El Prez’s cat is pretty settled already.
He was such a danger for the Gunners... not for United?
Strange cut out of the cross by Baiily
100% daft penalty.
I thought it was an obvious penalty. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise.
Leicester look dangerous
Wenger brought out the best in him. He was spotty with Barça too. Little Joe, well, maybe his own mum loves him. Maybe.
Southgate sans waistcoast in the stands tonight.
Thanks for the mention, Steve. It's the cat treats and those cat like relaxes that allow him to hold down the fort in midfield.
3rd/4th place playoff managers sitting next to each other
Did you know England made the semi final... wasn't it great!!
22 minutes away from the Final... sigh
Southgate and Roberto sitting together, presumably discussing the two world Cup meetings.
Oh - great stop by De Gea from a shot by Maddison, who has been the danger man.
Great save by De Gea from Mr. President.
Great save by De Gea!!
That was a goal last season at Carrow Road
Leicester on top
Oh - that shot by Amarti could easily have gone anywhere!
A long range effort from Amarty deflects off Pogba for a corner after a poor punch from De Gea.
Not sure why United are inviting Leicester onto them right now.
Fred tackled on the counter off a Foxes corner.
Maddison more like Trump with that dive off the challenge from Pogba.
Pogs trips up Maddison and its' a free kick in a tight space.
No post-WC blahs from De Gea. He’s been sensational early doors. Just goes to show what a handicap having Ramos in front of you is
Maddison thumps it into the wall and the chance goes.
No Mahrez for Leicester....row Q please
4th Pres hits the wall
Nice analogy, Gooner. I agree 100%.
United with a real rearguard action for much of this half.
Leicester City looking much more dangerous than United
Even though the end product has not been that great , it seems like United is showing more commitment than last season. The quality does need to improve.
Don't get it... same old same old
phew...United escape there!!
Great tackle by Lindelhof on Ihenacho. United living dangerously.
Terrible touch by Fred.... is his last name Flintstone?
Lindelhof down after the challenge, holding his shoulder. Gets up and seems okay
Nice one. You're on fire today
So bad by Sanchez... come on!!!
The pass from Alexis is poor as he was attempting to put a layer through. Is it the shorts?
Just what I feared... too slow...too deep... too negative
Pogba tries a speculative effort but it's gathered by Kasper.
Long range effort from Pogba straight to Kasper
Sanchez with a chance... offside... missed anyway... he was onside...NO VAR
Alexis' blushes are spared by the offside flag. In truth, his headed effort was woeful.
Alexis offside as he chipped Kasper, but it was well over.
Great pass by Fred to Shaw...then Shaw to Mata... decent effort by Shaw... I like that
Luke Shaw straight at Kapser off a one two with Mata
GO FORWARD
I'm not sure what exactly Fred is supposed to be doing for United. is he a playmaker? An inside left? More defensive? Not impressed at all so far. Is he the new Quinton Fortune?
I'm under the impression that he's supposed to fill a similar role to Kante to free up Pogba. Looking more like Fred Astaire out there.
Not sure what Alexis and Pogba are discussing. The Famous hand cupping the mouth
Fred’s the deep laying midfielder looking to grab up scraps. For his first match in England, he looks pretty settled. Some stray touches here and there but better than ok for his debut.
A minute of stoppage time.
Into the one minute of stoppage time.
Sounds like you're describing my cat, Gooner.
United are one ahead but they haven't been solid defensively
Leicester could have scored three
Half time
United one up at the half thanks to an early Pogba penalty.
United head in to the dressing room 1-0 up. If we didn't know, we'd think that they were playing away, though. Ironically, they've been pulling a Leicester, laying deep and attacking on the break.
Le Socks says that Alexis has looked sharp. Is he watching the same match that we are?
Teams out on the pitch as the second half is about to kick off.It's underway
Would like to see United dominate more. Not pleased that the Foxes controlled the first half.
Please be more of a force going forward please
Rash passes to front post
Sanchez went back
Stupid foul by Alexis on Chilly.
United haven't had a kick up the back side at half time
Same pace
This is NOT how United play
Welcome back, UWS. Are you looking forward to a full day of fixtures tomorrow?
Rash wins a corner off of Damari Gray
Can't stand all this talk of counter attacks by United
OTHER teams counter attack...United attack
Corner comes in... no one one with in 10 yards from Kasper
Second best again
Agreed. That's definitely not the United way
We are supposed to be at home!!!
Amartey booked for a foul on Alexis as he was distracted by the shiny shorts.
Free kick... we go backwards!!
Rash offside as he was superbly put through
SHOOT IT RASHFORD.... called for offside but so what
Oh - why didn't Rash pull the trigger there? Alexis was off anyway.
I agree with both you and Bob. It's as if the match is being played at the KP instead of OT.
Fred still feeling groggy from his halftime nap. Woken up by Andre MArriner.
Fred now booked . Is his last name Astaire?
Fred picks up a yellow - Maddison should've got one as well.
The President should have been booked for that challenge instead.
Welcome back, Bob.
Darmian strikes one at goal but Kasper gathers.
Kasper fumbles a long range effort from Darmian then gathers at the second attempt./
Cheers, mate - enjoyed a refreshing root beer float with Kate during half-time.
Vardy is going to come on...United are going to blow this
Sanchez sucks again...twice
Strange punch there by De Gea
WOW! That's really refreshing at this time of the year. I was about to ask if you were having a halftime snack. I guess I was partially correct.
Bloody hell Sanchez.... atrocious
It will be tough getting up really early tomorrow morning, but might as well since I will be going back to work on Monday
Maddison booked. Wish it was Trump.
United are boring me again....I am so fed up and this is the first game of the season!!!
It's our favorite snack on a hot day here.
To right, mate - after a couple of early Premiership mornings, you'll be back in match fitness for the new school year.
And...your last!
Great tackle by Bailey on Ihenacho.
Great by Baiily.... another atrocious cross by Sanchez
Here comes Vardy and Ghezzal... whoever he is
Correct, Bob. You and Dave get a great deal of the credit for helping me get this close to the finish line. Wishing you tow a great year as well.
Jose's indicating his intentions here by not bringing on Lukaku.
Puel is making two changes, though. Vardy on for the impressive Maddison. Ghezzal on for Amartey.
I feel for you David about school...still a few weeks to go for me
Ghezzals are really quick. He can save the pace for next match
Sanchez sets up Mata...missed... he says it was blocked
