Thanks for getting us going this afternoon, UWS - great image!
I'll be with you for kick-off shortly.
United better be wearing red tonight
Daniel James and Obi Wan Bissaka add much needed pace to the United side. That's something that's been missing the past few years
United players warming up in blue and black shirts
Looks like they will wear their normal kit except for white socks
Glad that common sense prevailed regarding the kits.
Manchester United have won more Premier League matches on Monday night than any other side
They are saying how bad United did at Molineux last season
They did lose twice but I remember the were the better team when McTom scored in the league match and then they just gave two goals away...I remember one from De Gea passing to central mid and United losing. The second was a scramble
Afternoon, chaps - I've cleared my desk for the moment and should be able to join you for at least the first half action.
Come on, you Red Devils!
I'm expecting a very tight competitive match at Molineaux. An early season test for United
Good afternoon, Bob. Glad you will be around. Sounds like a busy day
Teams in the tunnel
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Teams in the tunnel.
Yeah - I hit the ground running this morning with our Prep Week here at Fredonia. It's been non-stop all day long.
Well done Bob
Someone will be knocking on your door no doubt
A capacity crowd and a great atmosphere
NBC off for commercial but at least they are showing pictures....like they tried yesterday and failed
United without a win in five away games. They need to put that right at Molineaux.
GET TO THE GAME!
Harry Maguire reminds me of Pallister and Brucie . A great signing.
They will probably wait till the last second
A few seconds to spare.
Arlo was on the Monday Night Club on 5 Live
Wonder if he is on the mic
EVERYone is saying this is going to be tough... even our MUR... let's hope United wallop them
It is not Arlo
They're off from Molineaux.
COME ON MAN UNITED!
We are off
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man. U
Untied missing a few simple passes to start
Peter Dreary and former United player, Danny Higginbotham on the mics.
These two teams were the top two teams in the land in the 50s
Rash had a chances to get that one!
United on top but still the passing has to improve!
United merely need a 1-0 win to go top above Liverpool.
Wolves have been busy in EL action the past few weeks. They have a tricky tie away to Torino in the first leg of the playoff round on Thursday
Rash doesn't seem up for this one!
COME ON...CONCENTRATE
I was thinking the same , UWS. This is probably the biggest Wolves vs United match since the 50s.
Come on
Pass it better please
Rash and Kung Fu Panda need to work on being more focused and consistent this season.
That Wolves fixture list and tricky tie vs Torino makes me glad United didn't finish 7th and that Citeh won the Cup. They would have basically lost pre- season and not sure how they would have fared against Torino
They both haven't realized the game has kicked off
United well on top but too sloppy!
Was that horrible pass due to a case of McTomain poisoning? United players better not be eating expired food.
Matt Doherty wins a Wolves corner off a counter led by Raul Jimenez.
James thinks he is fouled... Wolves break for the first time
Get a corner
Commentator still giving Wolves a lot of credit
United have been all over them
Great defending header by Maguire
The corner from Joao Moutinho headed away by Harry Maguire.,
Now United break and get a corner
I can't believe that we missed out on Daniel James. Grrrrr!
Daniel James wins a corner off of Jonny on the counter off the corner headed away by Maguire.
That corner Shaw was headed away
Sorry, Bob. I think he was ready for Prem footie and didn't want to wait a season. Should be a great player for many years
Geez....the passing really has to be better!!!!!
If we'd even got him in for the spring, we might have gotten promoted.
That show I told you about was there for the failed transfer
He was devastated
United have completely dominated this match so far.
Geez....WHAT WAS THAT!
Atrocious United free kick
I'm still looking forward to checking that out.
Leeds would probably have been promoted with him in the side.
Pogba called for a pull back on Jota.
another good defensive header by Maguire, this time off the free kick
I am sorry for continue to harp on it but this passing!
What is going on?
Basics!
Pogba gives it away
Good cross by Rashford.... Martial fails to get on the end of it!
OH!!! Nice cross by Rash down the left, but not karate chopped in from close range. Nice long ball to Rash from Pogba.
He's got to dive at that one!
That is sad...not attempts on goal!
No attempts on goal from either side. We were expecting better than that
Do something with it UNITED!
Pogba wins a free kick off a challenge from Dendoncker.
Are Wolves a bogey team for United? Discuss....
United need to get into the space in front of them and attack it!
James dives and gets a yellow
Daniel James booked for a dive as he went past Jonny. Really poor.
I don't think so
They drew at home when they were pathetic last season
Lost twice at Molineux during the United Sucky Streak
Wolves might be, but I'm not sure. Will have a better idea after this match. Last seasons results not enough to say one way or the other.
That's not good - after a second thought, you lot can have him! ;-)
Of course, they did lose to Wolves during our reunion in DC watching the match at Summers
I agree with UWS
More piss poor passing by United at the back!
YES!!!!!!!!
MARTIAL PUTS UNITED IN THE LEAD!!!!!!
Of course there is still VAR
Well on
WAY HAY! UNITED KARATE CHOP THEIR WAY INTO THE LEAD WITH A SUPER POWERFUL FINISH
Commentators stil going gaga over Wolves
They are okay but not brilliant
Nice team goal with United building from the back that culminated with Lindy passing to Rash and his superb pass led to that superb karate chopped finish.
UNITED ARE TOP!
United now top.
The goal was the first shot on target of the match
United need to score the next goal...and then more and more
Obi Wan Bissaka tackles Jota for a Wolves corner.
That is Martial's 50th goal for United
The 53rd player to do so!
That seems low to me
Wolves with a couple of blocked shots off the corner
Agreed. I thought it would be at least double that amount.
Martial had a chance in the box there!
The Wee Neviller in attendance. Must be because he's a former United player, not due to scouting duty
James the first United player to be booked for diving since Smalling at Newcastle in Feb 18
Joao Moutinho down off a challenge from Pogba. Was a bit clumsy
I think James is fast but not to beat a man in a few steps
He is quick on full tilt but not at the start
Hopefully no more divers the rest of the season
United Shaw do win a corner off of Ryan Bennett
Great to see United back on top!
James will find it tougher in the Prem because defenders will be alert to that slow start
Agreed. We're fans of top placed teams!
A case of McTomain poison in the Vinagre as United win a free kick
A minute of stoppage time.
United should be out of sight
THE PASSING!!
I'll take a second half like last week too
Martial with a chance.... blew it!!!
Half time
COME ON MAN U
OH!!! Last ditch tackle by Boli on Kung Fu Panda surely prevented United from going two up.
United one up at the half and on track to top of the league
Marvelous - you two must be well pleased with that state of affairs. Beating Wolves away will be no mean feat.
United need to go on and win this match easily
I'm off home now, lads - I hope to be able to join you in the second half.
Why are Wolves booing James? The dive, for which he was punished? Honestly, you'd have thought that it was a Stoke City crowd.
Hi Steve
I think it was the dive
Second half underway
Second half underway
Good afternoon, Steve
Get on your bike Dr Bob
Wolves made a change as Adame Traore came on for Matt Doherty. Same position and quicker, but also more erratic
Wolves have just played their best of the whole game
Come on United.... enforce your dominance
Wolves win a corner as Jota is down off a challenge from Daniel James.
Hope Wolves are exhausted from all those EL matches.
Does anyone else look at their #18 and see "Dingo" on his shirt? If no, then what's the matter with me?
Pogba heads away the corner from Joao Moutinho
STOP ALL THE PASSING AT THE BACK!!!
UNITED ARE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMY!
Lingard whiffs!!
Are you talking about Jota? He does resemble one to an extent.
Ex Chelsea boss Sarri is being treated for pneumonia
Ruben Neves booked for a foul from behind on Neves.,
YIKES! That's horrible news. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Yeah, it's Jota. But with the scant attention I'm able to give him, his name looks like Meryl Streep's baby's nemesis.
Someone on the BBC says that OGS shouldn't be starting James too much... SAF eased in Ronaldo
Sorry. for a foul from behind on Daniel James.
That should have been a corner for United
LOL! Well, we've kept him quiet this match. He gave us all sorts of problems last season.
United fouled twice there...the second one was called
Come on United don't blow this
Maguire called for a trip on Adama Traore just outside the box. That was really soft
HOW DID THAT NOT GO IN!
I THOUGHT IT WAS THERE!
OH!! Free kick from Moutinho headed off the post. PHEW!
Come on United!
WHY DO WE DO THIS
Off the post and De Gea!
BUGGER!!!
Crossfield pass to Traore volleyed and cleared by Maguire for a Wolves corner
We should be out of sight..... same old same old
BUGGER! RUBEN NEVES TIES IT UP WITH A SPECTACULAR LONG RANGE EFFORT OF THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BAR.,
VAR cehcin for something... is it offside ?
HE IS!!
var reviewing for possible offside on Jota from the short corner. It was close.
They give the goal
Wasn't he offside?
It was stupid but
BUGGER! It's given as a goal. Thought he was inches offside.
I think the ball was played backwards
United are now going to lose this
SHOW ME SOMETHING!
A trio of Portugese players combined for the goal. Moutinho took it short to Jota back to Moutinho . He passed out to Neves , who scored that long range spectacular effort a minute after Jimenez had the header come off the post from the free kick
Peter with some dreary news. Wolves scored their first of the season and United conceded their first of the season
Martial doesn't look up for it in the box when crosses come in
ATTACK THE BALL!
Interesting stat. Ruben Neves , who scored that long range goal has a baker's dozen goals for Wolves and ten have been long range efforts.
ATROCIOUS EFFORT FROM RASHFORD!!
BUGGER! Absolutely horrible free kick from Rash.
I really hate VAR!
People say that offside is black and white...no it isn't
When did the ball actually leave the passer's foot?
I'm just home in time to see the worst free kick ever recorded.
Sorry to see that Neves equalized.
United were top but have fallen to fourth and possibly more
Ryan Bennett deservedly booked for tripping Rash on the break
Penalty to United after Pogba winds his way through into the area. Brilliant stuff from him!
PEN!!!
COME ON!!!
Pogba to take this one!
YESSSSSSSS!!! POGBA PLAYS A KARATE CHOPPED ONE TWO THEN GOES ON A SOLO RUN AND IS TRIPPED IN THE BOX BY CONNOR COADY FOR A UNITED PENALTY
SAVED!
Pogba to take this one....
Saved!
Sorry, lads - that was a rubbish effort.
Why didn't Rashford take it?
He buried it last week
bugger! Rui Patricio saves the penalty from Pogba
Ach! Absolutely rubbish penalty hit straight at the keeper's body. Does Pogba think that bloke is a ghost?
I DON'T GET IT!!!!
Good save by the keeper, I have to admit. But a good height for him.
Afternoon, Gooner!
James breaks into the box
Wasn't sure what to do with it
Bring on Greenwood
Daniel James has a shot come off Connor Coady for a United corner off a run off a sloppy Wolves pass.
Agreed. Rash needs to take future penalties. Greenwood is a great option off the bench
We will get a great chance to witness Stoke fans since Stoke vs Leeds is on Plus on Saturday
Corner to United . Rash takes and it breaks to Obi Wan Bissaka. When they say may the force be with you that doesn't mean shoot it with such force that it lands in Row Y
I can hear their leathery wings scratching against themselves. Looking forward to Leeds giving the goblins a bloody good hiding.
Still plenty of time for you lot to win this one.
More atrociousness by Rashford
Agreed, Steve. Would love for that to happen. You must be delighted that Stoke is bottom of the Championship
And to lose it
Marvelous - thanks for the programming note.
United faffing about with the ball at the back again
Rashford makes another poor decision
Daniel James with a cross off of Jonny for a corner.
Cheers, Bob. It's a 10 AM match. Will be looking for to Leeds thrashing the Potters
Just a reminder that there is a Friday night Prem match this week, which is Villa vs the Toffees.
Mason Greenwood on for Lindy
My Worlington friend, Bruno, is playing golf in Scotland this week. He just told me that he is going to St Johnstone play United's U18s tomorrow night. He also said that the son of the guy he is staying with up here is signing for St Johnstone on Wednesday and his name is Alex Ferguson !!
Traore Shaw did skip past the United defender then his cross was headed by Jonny straight to De Gea.
WOW !!! Great story. What an interesting coincidence.
Alex Ferguson playing against United is a great headline!
Obi Wan Bissaka booked for intentional hand ball.
I won't be around for Friday Night Lights...I am going to a musical in a park in Albany with our old neighbors
Pogba is so annoying!
Corner to United
Obi Wan Bissaka wins a corner off of Neves from a run and pass from Daniel James.
