A SUPER Sunday....not Super Bowl
Today is a day of Premier League Champions. Four of the six are on display today. Only missing are Chelsea and Blackburn.
Can United do what City and Liverpool couldn't do lately and beat the Foxes? I hope so! Ole still undefeated but only got a draw las time out.
Can United move into fifth?
Can City move into second?
I missed out yesterday but here with bells on today

Good morning Bob and Dave. Great post, Dave. Back from walkies as well and ready for the match
I'm back from walkies
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Morning, MUR - how was your Saturday evening?
How did the MathCounts event go yesterday, mate?
Good Morning, Bob. It was a quiet relaxing evening. Thank you for asking. How about you and Kate?
Teams in the tunnel now.
I hope Mr. Math Counts is counting three extra points for United at the conclusion of this match.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
COME ON MAN UNITED!'
COME ON MAN UNITED!
The're off from the KP.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
We are off at the King Power
Let's hope Leicester play like Princesses
It was lovely. Had a couple of friends over for a game night.
Come on, you Red Devils!
Stop phaffing about with it at the back. That is how Burnley scored their first midweek
Of course, I am happy United are wearing white shorts... wish there were black sock
Not good by Bailly
YIKES! What a calamitous back pass from 50 yards out from Bailey for a Foxes corner
Dangerous corner there... United lucky to survive
That's where corners have to go
Close call there from the corner. United can't be sloppy at the back.
The corner skims off of Ndid's head and out for a goal kick
I won't be around next weekend either!
I have my niece coming in for a couple of weeks next Thursday AND our friends Dick and Lina are coming in the same day for the weekend
ooh Rashford misses!! DAMN
OPEN GOAL
OH!!! Rash should have scored. That Shaw was a great cross and Rash , with a free header from three yards out heads wide.
That early goal and United could have won like at Cardiff...now it could be a struggle
Good open start to this match. I expect goals.
WOW! Sounds like a great weekend , UWS. You will be missed. If I remember correctly, United play the Cottagers in the early match on Saturday
Still wish Maguire was wearing red today
Happy Friendevesary, Bob. According to FB today is our ninth anniversary
ooh, United do a short corner and almost score but STILL knock it in the box
Lindelof wins a United corner and Kapser saves from Rash. Now the Foxes attack
I still like United going forward with pace
Not sure about Maguire. Would have fit into Jose's system, but not sure about the OGS system where pace is vital and he's a tad short on that. Definitely a good footballer.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RASHFORD!!
Great pass by Pogba
Great control and finish by Rash
Happy FB Frienderversy, mate!
GOAL! Rashford celebrates our big day with a great finish!
YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! THE FOXES GIFT US A GOAL AS PERREIRA GIFTS POGBA THE BALL AND FINDS RASH , WHO GOT BEHIND THE SPEEDY MAGUIRE AND FINISHED PAST THE STRANDED KASPER.
Modern Day Football goal
Players giving the ball away in such a dangerous position
Lovely chipped ball through Pogs there; he's a man reborn under OGS.
Cheers, Bob. His ninth Prem goal of the season on our ninth anniversary
Fans singing
You are my Solskjaer
My Ole Solskjaer
Dirty version
Now up to fifth ahead of the Gunners by a point.
Rash finished past Kasper because he ghosted behind the Foxes defense.
The dirty version sounds interesting.
From the Beeb
Rashford stats
Leicester 0-1 Man Utd
Marcus Rashford is the sixth player to score on his 100th Man Utd Premier League appearance, after Denis Irwin (1993), Eric Cantona (1996), Andy Cole (1998), Nani (2011) and Anthony Martial (2018).
He becomes the fifth player to score in at least four consecutive Man Utd Premier League away matches, after Ruud van Nistelrooy, Robin van Persie, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
OH!!! The Fourth President through, but he Shaw had a shot blocked over for a corner
I like my clean version
You're never boring
You just keep scoring
Dirty version
Alan Shearer
was F**king dearer
Vardy heads over the near post corner from the fourth President
United up to fifth two points behind Chelsea
Arsenal, having hit fourth last week, are down to sixth
Hope Rash is ok
Great post from the Beeb, UWS
Not promising as Rash is down. Definitely want him to be ok.
Both #10s are down receiving treatment now.
The bloke talking to Ole... looks like Phil Nev. I know it's not him but sure looks like him
Do we want Citeh to defeat the Gunners or do we want a draw?
Celtic beat St John 2-0 and are six points clear...yawn
I've been wondering about him. He was part of Jose's coaching staff as well.
Rashford still looks like he is limping
Rashford is in great company there. Has he become United top striker?
Run it off Marcus
Agreed. Talk about a real surprise.
I assume that you want a draw, right?
All big names on that list
Sounds like great advice . The coach always told me that, but for a different reason.
Lindy picks up a yellow for the team as Maddison was streaking away.
Lindy booked for rugby tackling the Fourth President on a Foxes counter after United gifted possession.
Useless pass by Pogba there... get it in the box
Leicester break... Lingard gets a yellow
COME ON... I WANT A SECOND
Almost in by Lindy
Oh - Matic threaded the ball through to Lindy but he couldn't control it.
Hate to think I am rooting for a City win today but I have to
It would definitely benefit united.
I still think United side like to give away some silly fouls that put us in danger
This is the slate of return matches of the Opening Day of the season
Maddy with a long range effort straight to De Gea and easily gathered.
Nice drop of the shoulder and shot by Maddison; didn't trouble De Gea.
That's right and this was the opening match of the season on Friday night. United won 2-1.
Damari Gray cuts inside and his powerful effort causes pain to the noggin of Bailey
Bailly with a whack to the head....kick the middle ball
Bailey up and ready to continue.,
Not sure about Bailly for you lot. Surely theres' a better option in the transfer market next summer.
Young... find a man with the cross
Stop worrying about whipping over
Be precise
Lindy with a shot deflected straight to Kasper off a pass from Yash . Took too long to shoot.
I thought he would be good... HE SHOULD BE GOOD
Vardy gets a a yellow...that was nasty
Vardy goes into the book for a studs up slide in. That could have been red!
Vardy booked for a striker's challenge on Lindelof.
Get it over Herrera!
DIRTY BASTARDS!!
Leicester 0-1 Man Utd
Jesse Lingard's yellow card earlier means United are the only team to have had a player booked in every Premier League game this season (25).
Nobody has ever done it in every Premier League game. The record is 37 by Derby (2000-01) and Sunderland (2016-17).
United are creating Leicester's best chances
United definitely don't want to emulate that record.
Despite leading, OGS may have to have a go at the players at the half.
Chilly has a cross deflect off of Yash for a Foxes corner off a pass from Maguire.
Maguire called for a push off the corner from Maddy. A decent chance.
Talk is United will hire Ole for good if he beats PSG
Foul called on Maguire...phew
Come on United.... get your finger out
Yash tackles for another Foxes corner.
OH!!! Former United player Jonny Evans not Jonny on the spot as he heads well wide from the corner.
Evans now with a chance....see how dangerous corners can be?
I don't know why teams don't do the same...especially following England's corners in Russia
Not happy how United have been playing since the goal
COME ON YOUNG!!
Great run....shoot or pass to a teammate!!
OH!!!! Nice long diagonal pass to Yash, but the pass to Rash was far too long.
Bloke on the Beeb
Jay Barnes: Why spoil a good thing? Manchester United should keep Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the interim manager ... permanently
Matic booked for pulling back Perreira on a Foxes break.
Matic in the book
Dirty bastards
Long range effort from Harvey Barnes a few yards wide.
Terrible free kick by Leicester but Rashford still presents a chance to Barnes... thankfully wide
I agree with the bloke on the BBC - OGS is working at OT - why move him along for some fancy dan Continental manager?
And another yellow card now - for Mendy.
Mendy booked for a nasty foul on Herrera.
That's another one that could easily have been a red. Why are all of these players lunging in today?
Yellow card again
They are given out far too many times in today's game!
I remember when a player was so annoyed and it was big news when a yellow was branded!
These days....reds are almost regular!
The pundits always say... I don't want red cards but that should be one
A trio of stoppage time minutes
Rashford benefits from a defensive area but Kasper is behind his shot.
Rash with a shot from just outside the D easily saved by Kasper.
Geez Pogba... what was that!!
I still can't believe how invisible Sanchez is for United
Keep it tight United
Some pinball football by the Foxes around the United area. Comes to nothing.
Leicester have been more dangerous since the goal
Sanchez could find the right ball there... grrrr
Promising United counter, but a poor pass from Alexis.
Perreira straight to De Gea.
Half time.... could be better!!
Off to make the shakes
United one up at the half, but not a great performance.
The shakes are definitely working for you, UWS. All of the Nocitos looked especially trim and healthy in the Christmas photo you sent.
Second half underway from the KP.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
Second half underway
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Hope UWS makes great shakes , which United weren't in the first half.
United being pinned back.... COME ON!!
My shake is lovely
GORDON BENNETT
What is going on!!!
So bad by Matic!
Near post effort from Maddy into the side netting
Come on, you Red Devils!
More terrible play by United
They are sleepwalkng!
Welcome back. Hope United are great shakes this half.
Can we go back and start again please?
I cannot believe this.. just giving the ball away every possession!!
United looking clueless at the back gift the Foxes a corner.
United with a chance to break
Rash continues United terrible start... awful pass to Sanchez
Clueless all over the field
Don't recall Kasper having to make more than a save or two. We need to work him and often
Herrera now gives the ball away.. what was said at half time?
I am really annoyed right now
Klopp blamed it on the snow. OGS won't be able to use that excuse. Seriously!
OMG.... SANCHEZ... WE ARE WEARING RED SHIRTS
Pogba down, but okay after a late challenge from former United defender , Jonny Evans.
Lindy gifts the Foxes a free kick
United need to calm it down - it's gotten really frantic out there.
OGS probably said that if they don't pull their fingers out he'll make changes at the hour mark.
I really think Ole should make a change to show everyone he is not happy
Martial on for Sanchez please
Another crappy pass
Now Pogba passes to a blue shirt.
Commentator isn't saying much about how bad United have been
5Live isn't saying it either....are we seeing something different
That would be a great change. Wonder if Pogba will be able to continue.
Finally attacking... shot hit wide by Rash
Better possession from, United , but a poor finish from Rash.
Another stupid tackle...dangerous position for a shot
Vardy goes down under the challenge from Matic. Looked a dive.
Free kick chance now for the Foxes. Maddison strikes it into the wall and then De Gea saves from Vardy.
Free kick into wall... rebound... overhead kick...saved by De Gea!
OH! Into the wall by Maddy and it breaks to Vardy, whose bicycle kick is spectacularly saved by De Gea, who then gathers at the second attempt
Not offside because Young sprinted back to the line and Vardy well on side
Maddison coming off... glad for that
5Live is stunned by that change
Maddy replaced by the Gazelle, which is a speedy animal. despite that , boos from Foxes fans.
Let's hope he's not too speedy.
That was a poor long range effort from Ndidi indeed as it landed in Row H.
come on United....TRY and score another goal
Agreed, Bob. They're causing enough problems as is.
Do you think United will make the top four with Arsenal and Chelsea busy in the Europa League?
The announcer stated that the Dean of officials is one red card away from his century, miles ahead of any other official. Definitely the Dean of Red cards.
Herrera mis-controls the ball in midfield... WAKE UP ALL OF YOU!!
Well, by the recent form, United would definitely finish top four. I think it's a distinct possibility, as I don't think Arsenal or Chelsea are that consistently good right now.
I think United have a great chance of making the top four. It will be a three horse race for that spot the remainder of the season.
Alexis troops off - not really his day.
Finally a United change as Alexis is karate chopped off. Alexis deserves a karate chop after a mediocre performance at best
Ole makes the first change
Sanchez off for Martial...just like I wanted
Sanchez still sucks
How could he be SO GOOD for the Arse and SO BAD for United
Matic....CAN'T PASS THE BALL
Terrible clearance then blew the break
Long Foxes possession and Harvey Barnes drags a shot wide.
I don't want wins like this!
United karate chop their way to a corner.
Corner to United.... bloody short one!
Taken short. It makes it's way to Bailey, whose cross is headed away by Chilly.
Another terrible effort of cross by Matic...you're a professional
Then Herrera gifts possession to the Gazelle , but nothing comes of it.
Twenty minutes left - United really need to push for a second goal. Leicester are well capable of scoring an equalizer.
I guess this is one of those days when United will have to grind out a result.
More crappiness.... Lingard just runs the ball out of play trying to turn
United's decision making has been awful!!
Always picking the wrong pass
Gray coming off and Okazaki coming on...he scares me
Okozaki on for Damari Gray as Claude Puel senses that United's defense can be pressed.
Poor clearance from Schmeichel. United should have capitalized more on that one.
Terrible clearance by Kasper but again the decision making is rotten by United
United have had one shot this half... off target by Rash
The announcer said that Okozaki has gone 34 matches without scoring. He's on to be more of a nuisance than a goal threat
Leicester have had six
The Gazelle Shaw does win a free kick for the Foxes.
City play Arsenal at home today, Everton away on Wednesday(supposed to be played on League Cup Final Day) and then Chelsea at home next weekend
Great save by De Gea
Oh - marvelous bit of keeping there. Great save!
WOW! The free kick from Gazelle headed for the upper 90, but well tipped over by De Gea.
Not liking this change
Rashford off for Lukaku
The Chunk is on for Rash. Sure hope he takes a Chunk away from the Foxes chances of winning.
The Chunk comes on for a late cameo.
