Premier League Football Resumes on a Tuesday Afternoon


 


There are three matches on this afternoon and it starts with a match that doesn't seem to interest us. The Evil Blades vs the Toon kicks off at 1 PM. The big one is at 3:15 PM Burnley vs Un    `on NBCSN . Wolves vs the Toffees kicks off at 3:15 PM as well on the Cock. It's a must win for United as this is their game in hand and they can go three points on top ahead of Pool before the  big showdown on Sunday

The Evil Blades won their first match of the season defeating the ten man Toon 1-0 thanks to a penalty from Billy Sharp. Wee Ryan sent off shortly before half time for a his second booking

OGS and Sean Dyche cracking jokes prior to kickoff. Moment of silence for Burnley fans that passed away during 2020

Liam McHugh said the last time United finished a day top this late in the season was SAF's last season in charge

They're off from Turf Moor.

COME ON MAN UNITED!

3:17 PM

It's 0-0 at the half at Turf Moor. United started dominating the closing minutes at the half. The highlights were a deflected shot from Chris Wood off Eric Bailey going just wide. For United, Harry Maguire had a headed goal disallowed for climbing on Eric Pieters while a karate chopped shot just before the start of stoppage time, headed for the upper 90 was turned around by Nick Pope. There was a five minute stoppage for a double VAR review. It Shaw did result in a United booking. The booking for Robbie Brady for a foul the other end of the pitch was rescinded . VAR had checked for red for denial of a scoring opportunity, but the United player booked as that had occurred before the foul at the other end of the pitch

Blogger United We Stand said...

NOW SCORE A COUPLE MORE

4:47 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

GOAL!!! POGBA GIVES UNITED THE LEAD WITH A CRACKING VOLLEY. POGBA WON THE BALL IN MIDFIELD AND IT BROKE TO RASH WHO PUT IN A GREAT CROSS THAT WAS VOLLEYED IN FROM POGBA FROM THE EDGE OF THE BOX

United are now three points up on top of the table.... and they still stink

4:49 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Welcome back, Dave. It's been all United the last ten minutes with Burnley just lumping ti clear to nobody. United eventually were going to break through

4:50 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

LOL, Dave. United haven't been top this late in the season since SAF's last season in charge

4:50 PM

COME ON

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

Rashford is clueless!!!

What was he thinking of there... pass it or shoot!!

4:54 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Rash off for Greenwood

What I have seen...he's not been at the races

4:55 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Like for like as Mason Greenwood is on for Rash

4:56 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Rash was off and on this match. Great cross for the goal and set up some chances then invisible other parts of the match

4:57 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Still too much passing but the ball gets to Martial...saved

4:58 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Nice reflexes from Tark as he blocks a karate chopped shot off a nice pass from Pogba

4:58 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

At least Pogba has had one of his better matches

4:59 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

phew.... Burnley almost in!

5:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Shot....sliced wide....phew

5:00 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United ae three points ahead of Liverpool but still SIX goals back... why don't they want to score!!

Goals could equal a point

5:01 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

This is one of those matches where United is having to grind out a result. Burnley haven't been at the races since the last five minutes ion the first half. As far as I know De Gea has yet to make a save

5:02 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

STRUTH....side netting

Why do United do this to me!!

5:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

PHEW! Matty Vydra has a shot deflect off Eric Bailey into the side netting off a deflected pass

5:03 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That was blocked by Bailly... just like at against Villa


Another chance given by United defenders

5:03 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Then Vydra blasts over off a poor clearance off the corner

5:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

VAR checking for a handball... nothing given

5:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United look scared to win games!!

5:04 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Watching United is like a visit to the dentist?

5:04 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

McTom comes on for Bruno....again... negative moves from Ollie

One minute of the 90

How much time will be added? Reason for a lot?

5:05 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

United look amatuerish at the end of this match

5:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A Babrber Shop Quartet of stoppage time minutes. Same as the first half

5:06 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ben Mea down off a bout of head tennis.

5:07 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Not sure why the amount of stoppage time. I was expecting three minutes

5:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

This is ridiculous.... they are sitting back and still giving HUGE chances away!!


These head injuries will add mega minutes to the 4 added!


Again, I like the rule I made up the other day

Have the ref keep the time... stop the clock all the time in the last 10 minutes... for subs, cards, injuries....
The ref adds the couple of minutes from the first 35 of the half

5:08 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They look so edgy!

This is not champions material at all

5:08 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Toffes have won 1-2 at Molineux

5:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Everton won 2-1 at Molineux and are fourth


Martial with a chance...rubbish!!!

5:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody useless by Martial....he is not a good striker!!

5:09 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Bloody Hell... Tuanzebe on for Martial...SO NEGATIVE

5:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BUGGER! United should have gone two up. nice karate chopped block from Nick Pope off a through ball from Cavani

5:10 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Taking his time getting off.... it will just add more time!

I HATE IT

5:10 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I think OGS made that late substitution to ruin your day. Sorry, Dave

5:11 PM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

phew... Vydra.... thank god he has his wrong boots on!
ANOTHER chance given

5:11 PM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...
