As I said, a win is even more important with only four making the CL
A win here would move United up to THIRD!

Every time Chelsea have left the door open, United have failed to walk through it... I hope the burst through it!

Moment of silence for Big Jack

Whistle and knee.... and we are finally off

COME ON MAN U

Welcome MUR

Good Afternoon, Dave. Thanks for getting us started with a great post

3:02 PM

Nice ball by Pogba to Bruno...kicked out

Come on United...score early and often

3:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I s aw a graphic that United became the first team in Prem history to win four consecutive matches by three plus goals

3:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I was on Youtube the other day and there was a United match vs Fulham. The match ended 2-2...but the stat that was crazy was United had EIGHTY-ONE CROSSES!!


I miss those days

3:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I saw that too

Let's go for FIVE

3:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Did you see that meltdown by the Foxes yesterday? That was incredible and against the Cherries of all teams. First time Cherries came from behind to win a Prem match in two years

3:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Of course, City have won 5-0 and 5-0 and now have Bournemouth on the docket

3:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Crazy stuff. I did watch the second half

3:05 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think I remember that match. It was the season Moyes was in charge of United and SAf's former assistant in charge of the Cottagers, who were relegated. United dominated, but gifted them two goals with errors

3:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Beneteke and Soyuncu were morons yesterday. Now their season is over

3:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Stupid passing at the back there!!
Drives me nuts!
Arsenal yesterday
Leicester yesterday

I don't understand how every thing is so cautious these days but the managers allow it... in fact insist on it

3:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I could see Citeh winning 5-0 vs the Cherries.

3:07 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Greenwood makes a great run but Rash didn't see him... Rash then just went wildly with the ball and gave it away

He has been awful... I hope turns it around today

3:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not sure why they are so cautious other than only lower division team play differently. If so that is faulty reasoning

3:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Five players around the box and we still go short!
If there five there...then there HAS to be space long!

3:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Again, United starting slowly
Everyone is saying how United have been on the front foot...I don't see it!

3:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

AI agree with you about going for five. A 5-0 win would be nice, but this team defeated Citeh ,. albeit with a chip from the halfway line

3:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wycombe are one up against Oxford coming up to half time at Wembley

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not sure how we're the form team of the Prem. We have got away with a few results

3:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

DAMN IT!!

Terrible passing by Southampton... Martial... 1 on 1... saved!!

I hate the dink....just bury behind passed him!

3:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! United should have karate chopped their way to the lead. Through on goal and shot right against the keeper. United gifted possession because the Saints were faffing about at the back

3:12 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Armstrong with a decent effort saved by De Gea

3:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Comfortable save by De Gea from Stu Armstrong

3:12 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER! ARMSTRONG GIVES THE SAINTS THE LEAD

3:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

One nil Southampton... all came from ridiculous play in the back!!


JUST KICK IT LONG DE GEA!


I JUST DON'T GET IT!!!!

3:13 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

How is this not lambasted!!

3:14 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Pogba's fault but was also De Gea.... and OGS for allowing it

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Moronic defending by Pogba , who had his pocket picked just outside the box and a cross from Nathan Redmond was headed in at the far post by Stu Armstrong

3:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Kasper was guilty of the same thing as De Gea yesterday

3:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

De Gea too... he can see he isn't completely open!!

3:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

We are STILL passing it in the back

3:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United did fall behind to a southcoast team last time out at OT

3:16 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think Harry Maguire just got away with a foul on Danny Ings

3:16 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

GO FORWARD WITH PACE

WE JUST WANT TO PASS IT AT THE BACK!


Even the crowd noise is booing

Ball in the net... flag is up.... he is

3:17 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER! Rash has a goal disallowed for offside as he Sahw did receive a pass

3:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bob gets his win... and buggers off

Poor Form!

3:17 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Work Shmerk

3:18 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

We will need to come from behind again against a South Coast team

3:18 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Almost blew it again!

GET YOUR FINGERS OUT UNITED!!!

3:19 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

LOL! Bob should be here . He is definitely missed

3:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Useless free kick by Bruno

3:20 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Poor free kick from Bruno headed away by Ryan Bertrand , the first man

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

What is going on.... Southampton almost in again

3:20 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Too slow United!

Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on United...score more!!

3:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice team goal .Obi Wan passe dit back to Pogba , who had a pass into the box that was karate chopped to Rash to tie it up with a well placed finish at the far post

3:23 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARTIAL!

3:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WAY HAY! UNITED TAKE A 2-1 LEAD

3:24 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

United played it from the back to Rash and it was passed wide left then a nice karate chopped run inside that fooled two Saints defenders then a great finish

3:26 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Don't relax... score more... keep the 3+ goals streak going

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not a great time for drinkies as United were on a roll

3:26 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Wonder if Palace will be easy to beat since Beneteke is suspended. Chelsea on Sunday is a key match

3:27 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The cup semi is the toughest match. All the league matches should be United wins

3:28 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wish it was Zaha

3:29 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Decent shot by Pogba...saved

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

OH! McCarthy does well to push away a powerful long range shot from Pogba

3:29 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed about Zaha . He was a flop for us

3:30 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am confident about Chelsea

Hard to beat a team FOUR times in one season!
Will have to do it twice!! Chelsea in the semi and then probably City in the Final

3:31 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This not won yet.. we need more!!

3:32 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think that would be the first Manc Derby Cup Final of any sort

3:33 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I'm also confident without the Foxes. Their best central defender is suspended and they are really out of sorts

3:34 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Too many passes... Martial hits one high wide and horrible

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A United shot is karate chopped into the upper level of the cardboard cutouts off a nice team move

3:34 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

SAF with a dental face mask

3:35 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United still need 8 points to match last season

3:36 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They should be able to get eight points which means eight is enough to finish in a CL spot or so we think

3:37 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I WANT ANOTHER GOAL!

3:40 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

or three

3:40 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. At least three more without reply

3:41 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody Pep making a goal keeper essential to having good feet

How about just saving shots

3:42 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United with a chance... should have left it for the runner

3:43 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed . That's what a keeper is supposed to do

3:43 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Here we go... more passing to the keeper

3:44 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nasty by Alpha Romeu on Mason Greenwood. Should have been a card but he gets away with it

3:44 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Now Saints keeper believes he's Pele and fakes out Martial

3:44 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

More losing it around the back.... just stuns me!

WHY DOESN'T ANYONE SAY ANYTHING!

3:45 PM

OH! Just wide by Nathan Redmond as United were caught out

4:09 PM

United survive there... Redmond should have done better there
Obiwan left him open


This United side is no where near being good enough!

Wycombe retake the lead with a 79th min spot kick at Wembley

4:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

From the Beeb
DRAMA AT WEMBLEY.

Oxford keeper Simon Eastwood has absolutely FLATTENED Fred Onyadinma and the Chairboys win a spot kick.

If this were Looney Tunes, they'd be peeling Onyadinma off the turf.

Second bad game in a row for Bruno

4:14 PM

That's a brilliant description by the BEEB

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed about Bruno

4:14 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Now I see what you mean about Netflix. He could watch a movie with that

4:15 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Rash with a decent effort...sidenetting

4:19 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I don't like how they say United have to make up X amount of points.... this is a one off season from Pool. I know they had a lot the season before but you can't compare it to normal

4:21 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am not liking what I am seeing

United NEED to win!!!

4:22 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed. We should be expecting a much tighter title race next season

Chelsea play tomorrow and United on Thursday

How is that fair for the Semi

Have United used up their three change spots

4:51 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Williams out...United down to ten men

4:53 PM

United will need to see out the match with ten men because Brandon Williams has gone off injured

4:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

what was that from Fred!!

4:53 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Wonder how many more will be added
