Teams in the tunnel...NBC on Split Screen commercial....they'll go for another one after they come out!
Cue Z Cars
Morning, UWS - great to join you on this big Sunday morning. Teams are in the tunnel - NBC is missing it, though.
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Holgate, Baines; Walcott, Gomes, Davies, Sigurdsson; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.
Subs: Delph, Mina, Iwobi, Sidibe, Bernard, Kean, Virginia.
Manchester United: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Matic, McTominay, Fred, Bruno Fernandes; Greenwood, Martial.
Subs: Bailly, Mata, Lingard, Pereira, Romero, Ighalo, Williams.
Referee: Chris Kavanagh (Lancashire)
Not confident about this match at all
And NBC go off for commericals
Stop doing fanfests so you don't have to make as much money!
I had a conversation with Kate a couple of weeks ago when I was watching a match from Goodison:
Kate: What's that music?
Me: It's the theme music from a cop show from the 70s?
Kate: Why?
Me: I dunno; I guess they like it?
True - those have got to cost a bundle.
They used to be there to enjoy the atmosphere...not any more!
Just dialed in the Spurs/Wolves match
I guess I want a draw in this one
Too many Portuguese o the bench at Spurs!!
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
play and score like Our Bob's United from yesterday
We are off
Kick off time - both sides in their traditional colors. Well done.
Fred out hustled in the first minute
United playing a 4-3-1-2
Almos a 4-4-2
"Three man booth" - hate it.
Richarlson down hurt with a hard tackle by Lindeloff
I think it is just a knock on knee... he'll be fine
Totally agree about the booth
Fernandez looks like a heck of a buy for you lot.
Oh dear, oh dear - what a howler from De Gea! Sorry, Dave.
It just stuns me how they think that is a good thing to do!
JUST STUNS ME
STRUTH.. almost number two
Oh - Calvert-Lewin was in again there. This time De Gea does well to tip it around.
oooh, Matic off the bar!!
I agree, mate. Early doors though. Plenty of time to get this one back.
Oh - Matic dings one off the crossbar!
What a corker this one is right from the off.
What is with all this one on ones in the box!
It could have been 4-1 already
Martial makes a darting run but pass is behind his teammate
Oh - great move there ends with a ball in to Kung Fu Panda who turns and shoots just wide.
Oh - another ripper from Matic and Pickers could only parry it into a dangerous area. Someone should have been following up.
Another decent hit from Matic
United are attacking quite well with pace...just that crap at the beginning
That goal has jumped Everton from 11th ton 9th
Two points behind United and only 6 behind Chelsea
Pickford passing around at the back...don't these players learn?
Spurs take the lead
Again..United going forward quite well
You'd prefer a draw out of that one, right?
Greenwood with a header chance...over
Bugger
I'm sure that there are a fleet of football consultants that have advised teams that a certain percentage of possession leads to a certain percentage of wins, yada yada yada.
"better than he done"
Does he really think that is how you speak!!
I wonder where I can actually complain to NBC on how they have fallen in the coverage from games available without forking out $65, more than one game available Sat at 10, commercial after commercial and trying to have a comedy trio in the box
Tottenham up into fifth now - United must turn this one around.
Yada yada yada indeed
HIT THE BIG RECTANGLE AT THE END OF THE FIELD AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN
Coventry beat Sunderland at St Andrews 1-0 this morning
That moves them to top of the table and keeps Pompey in third
Coventry 64
Rotherham 62
Pompey 59
Wycombe 59
Sunderland 58
Oxford 57
Pboro 56
Flwood 55
Ipswich 52
VERY TIGHT
I've had a wee Google and found this website:
https://www.nbc.com/contact-us
I'd be happy with the match so far...if it wasn't for you know what
Cheers mate
Doesn't seem like that website would go to sport
Coleman off
Nice pass by Matic
Good control but than doesn't dribble it well enough
Wolves ties it up
Again...United are attacking much more than normal
But wouldn't the NBC suits have to deal with it?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!
FERNANDEZ WITH A GREAT GOAL!!!
NOW SCORE MORE!!
Yes! Fernandes with another goal!
Pickford should have saved that
You've got to put that down as a goalkeeper error. Pickers better not be doing that nonsense this summer.
Not exactly a goalkeeping clinic out there today
Not at all.
Three Stooges trying to make the jokes again
Trivia question....what well traveled striker stepped on my toe as he celebrated his goal when I was a ballboy?
Richardson down hurt again
He's been kicked by Lindeloff and Fred
It was that bloke at Cambridge United - don't remember his name.
Handbags over on the sidelines
Ancelotti looks upset too
Davies and Shaw give each other a hug
And of course they cup their hands
Checking for Red Card for violent conduct
None given
Sorry...only half a point....'that bloke from Cambridge United' is not a good enough answer
United should be in the lead here
Come on United... take the lead before half
Sorry, mate. Was his name Alan?
Again... the three numpties trying to make jokes
Maguire in the book now... stupid fouls
Yes it was!!
3/4 of a point
3 added minutes at Goodison
Phew...Richalson should have done better there
Oh - Richarlison should have scored there. Big chance!
GOAL... Aurier scores a lovely goal for Spurs
I'll take the 3/4 of a point.
HT at GP
Pleased with United's performance... apart from ....
Half-time - well poised at 1-1. Off to the bog.
Alan Biley
Teams out for the second half
COME ON MAN U
COME OM MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Away we go
back for the Spurs game too
Stop going backwards... Maguire looks forward. I want to see more of that
Free kick to United...too far for Bruno?
Yes, chips it in...comes to nothing
Back for the second half now. We’re back under way. We’ve had goalkeeping errors, big-money signings impressing, and a few dodgy tackles.
high wide and horrible by Bruno
Bailly has had some good performances but can't get a game
Will he play against Derby on Thursday?
Chance to break...useless pas by Fred
Who was that bloke they focused in on?
John Hollins.... whoever he is... definitely not the ex Chelsea man
Come on United... please win this one
Useless corner by Bruno
It's this time of the season when squad rotation is vital. I'm really worried about the small size of our squad.
ESPN + has the Cup Final(on the other thread)
Why couldn't they just put the FINAL on the Deuce
I think things are looking really rosey for Leeds right now.... I think they are going to finish as Champs
Free kick chance for Everton... another yellow
Row Q please
STRUTH....off the post!!
Rebound wide too
PHEW
DESMOND AT SPURS
Amazingly so, yes. I can't quite believe it. I was just about to settle for a playoff spot again. I really think that we're playing above our stations, with a patchwork squad of loan players, Academy players and the like.
If we do go up, the club is going to have to invest big.
Corner to Everton...cleared
Fred blew a break again
They need to go up and keep their Prem players
Martial down...I know it is a knock but get up and want to score
You're fine now
SO ANNOYING
That's great news for you lot - Joto with the goal.
United with a chance to break.... they blow it
Oh - great move from United but Martial should have hit it first chance he had. He delayed just enough for the defender to get the block in.
great move by Bruno but a little extra touch blew the chance
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Where is your little push up the backside like I try and give Leeds!!
Calvert-Lewin for England? I don't think so.
I think he will with the other two still out and the media going gaga
Sorry, mate. Come on, you Red Devils!
United NEED a win here
Up next in the League
City(H)
Spurs(A)
It's WHAT TIME?
C-L with a shot from an acute angle
Saved by D-G
Oh - De Gea saves well from Calvert-Lewin.
It's United time, mate. Come on!
I don't think United have played as well as they did in the first half
Free kick..Fred loses it and bumps into the ref and gets a yellow
Never a handball
Now with VAR...if this is a goal...why couldn't they change it because it wasn't a handball
Cheers mate
BTW, there is no other United playing right now so it works
ROW Z please...wall good enough
Justice
Fred has improved recently...but today he is has been pants
Ighalo and Mata replace Greenwood and McTom
Wolves take the lead!
Kate is distracting me from the match right now, chattering on about what needs to be done around the house. I really need to cut down her HGTV consumption. Sheesh!
I've really been impressed by Ighalo the few times I've seen him.
I suppose a Wolves win is better than a Spurs win, right? Raul Jimenez with the goal there.
Bruno almost finds Ighalo
Corner cleared of course
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
This one could swing either way now.
Here's how much Pep Guardiola cares about the League Cup. Phil Foden will replace Kevin de Bruyne in the Cty line-up. Grrrr!
Free kick out wide left for Everton now.
Another foul by Fred!
Come to nothing. Out for a corner.
COME ON UNITED
YOU NEED THE WIN!!
Obi Wan.... runs out of play...just get the ball into the box
Another corner for the Toffees
Now Richarlison bursts through and wins a corner. United have to get it back up the other end!
United aren't pushing for the winner
Not good this half!
I should have expected it!
I can see only one winner here
They seem to have settled for a draw.
Of course, Everton's goal was given with a bow on it
Great cross by Bruno...no one was there!!
Corner...COME ON!!
Very ATTACKING CHANGE
MARTIAL OFF FOR WILLIAMS
Oh - how did United not win it there!
OOOOH...how did United not score!!!
Bruno then Ighalo!
Pickers redeemed himself there. Kept Everton in it.
DAMN IT
Such a lucky second save
That is so annoying!!!
two of three added minutes remaining
BLOODY HELL
Great save by De Gea but the ball in the net
Will VAR check something
BLOODY HELL
Oh - now it's De Gea with a great save!
Oh dear - now it's gone in off Maguire. What drama!
This one will be ruled out, I suspect.
VAR checking
It will count
phew...not given!
Ruled out - phew!
VAR has been United's MVP the last three games!
Chelsea, Watford and Everton
Still hate VAR
Ancelotti having a go at the fourth official now.
Yet another corner for Everton now. This must be the last action.
That's it - probably a fair representation of the match in the end. Either side could have won it in the end but for some excellent saves. Still, the two goals were down to goalkeeper error.
That's it
Ends 1-1
Not really good enough
Still fifth and didn't lose any ground to City, Leicester, Chelsea or Spurs at least
Oh my! Ancelotti has been sent off after the final whistle!
Ancelotti gets a RED CARD!!
That is just stupid
All over at Spurs and Wolves win
I am off for walkies
I'll join on the other thread
I'm off to do some dishes before the big match. I'll be switching over to the other link.
