Hiya Boys
I am in a gap of tutoring sessions. I won't be here for the whole match but will be here for as long as I can
I know United will drive me nuts today as well....not confident at all... very sad... Brighton at home!!
Rashford and Pogba both on the bench

Tomorrow 9-4...free at 1-2
Thur 10:3-6:30..free 4-430
Fri 9-330
I'm knackered
So... Lindeloff comes off the bench replaced by Heaton... TWO KEEPERS on the bench!! Surely United have some other place rto take their spot
Whoa - that's a load of work, mate!
Love to see City get tripped up
People are saying Pep would be a failure at City if he doesn't win the CL... hasn't won anything someone else has won
Kick him down the stairs
Still no coverage on the Peacock feed - grrr!
Used to be that you'd have Becky Lowe and the two Robbies on from 2pm onward on these days.
Good Afternoon , Bob and Dave. Got Porto vs Citeh on the computer and waiting for the match from OT on the ROKU
Been so busy
The coverage just started on the COCK
Finally the Cock has started their coverage
Sound like it Dave. Glad you have a break until 4:30
ICiteh with a goal disallowed for offside. Weekend at Bernie's pulled it back to Phil Foden whose shot was saved by the keeper, then KDB appeared to be just offside as he pulled it back for Mahrez to score, but it was disallowed
If and it is a big if....If United win, they will go two points ahead of West Ham having played the same amouth of games
They would be 4 points ahead of Arsenal but the Gunners will have 3 games in hand(one v Chelsea)
Wolves would be 6 points behind with two games in hand
Spurs would be 6 with 3 games in hand
United are in major trouble no matter what happens
I'm predicting that United will take the lead then the Seagulls will tie it up and it will finish 1-1
Did the City goal count... FOTMOB still has them one up
After a lengthy review by VAR the goal stands Citeh one up due to that Mahrez. KDB just onside based on the replay
BBC says it counts
Teams in the famous tunnel at OT.
John Stones heads wide with just the keeper to beat. Cross from Sterling poorly headed out and Stones should have put Citeh two up
Not exactly an out on a limb prediction there David
That's what United always do
That's what Brighton usually do
Come on, United!
It seems as if the Mahrez goal is going to count, despite the suspicion of offside by KDB. Great start for the Citizens.
Remember, away goals don't count in the CL anymore
Will PSG get knocked out by Real Madrid?
If they do, will Poch leave?
Will he go to Old Trafford?
Should the go for him?
What has he won?
He managed to lose the French league last season....which is almost impossible !
McFredTomain the two defensive middies for United
Geez... McFred make up the midfield
RUBBISH
LOL, Dave. That's why I made the prediction. Trying to play it safe
Is the McFredTomain a new salad at McDonalds, David?
Bruno , Sancho ,and Elanga the three behind CR &
Lamps should be worried
Boreham Wood are one up vs Altrincham
Sorry, CR7
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
And we're away from Old Trafford - come on!
LOL,Bob. There is. It comes in an expired overinflated , botluism box
COME ON MAN UNITED!
An early goal with quieten the nerves in the crowd tonight.
The salad makes you run faster than the pace of United's attack. Sound about right? Not to the stomach
Sounds delicious, David! ;-)
Lamps is worried because he's got Wood in the Cup. Lamps got Wood?
It's the best tasting meal over
So many times, United just go through the motions in these matches
The game starts and it seems like they haven't realized it
They do it again in the second half...conceding inside the first three minutes of the second
GOAL ! WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S PUTS CITEH TWO UP
Geez....more crap play at the back almost give up a chance
Stunning
Old Trafford....has the ball been outside our own half inside the first three minutes and counting?
Bob and Dave will be shocked to read that the Citeh goal came from a rare long Citeh corner. It was headed down and the rocket of a half volley from Bernie crashed off the underside of the bar and in
Citeh doing better in Lisbon than they did last May
Wow - Citeh are cruising it! They really lucked out with that draw.
4 minutes.... STILL NOT OUTSIDE OUR HALF!!!
OH! United coughed up possession then Gross forces a great close range save from De Gea. He really should haver scored.
Over five minutes....De Gea kicks it over the half....finally!!
sorry. It was Moder that forced the save from De Gea, not Scully. Like something from the X Files
Lasted five seconds!
Sancho gets a chance....HE HAS TO SCORE!!!
Oh - that was lovely stuff from CR, with a backheel to Sancho. Sanchez did well to keep the shot out.
He had to score!!
OH! Identtical save by Robert Sanchez from sancho off a back heel from CR 7 . according to Webster's dictionary that's the meaning of the word mistake
That is a big problem of United.... no reason not to be one up
If United's strikers were just a bit more clinical, you'd likely be in third at this point.
Not liking the sound.... muffling the crowd noise
United lose the ball trying to build out from the back.... stuns me it keeps on happening
De Gea thinks about going fast.... slows it down
Get men and the ball in the box!!
Too much passing!!!
NO SHOT
I am pleased that the crowd don't like back passes....
ATTACK ATTACK
ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK
The amount of space United give opponents going forward do how little attacking force they are are is stunning
Glad I won't be able to watch this whole match...driving me nuts
All we are doing in back and sideways!!
Get it all the way back to De Gea who then kadumpfs it
Sorry, mate. I know how frustrating this is to see United playing like this.
United break.... comes to nothing
Oh - Elanga nearly in on Ronaldo's pass.
OH! Nice counter by CR 7 , but the ball fore Elanga was too long and Cucarella easily prevented the shot. A missed opportunity
Thanks mate ...it just makes no sense
It is a team that always attacked
not just under Fergie
I'm wondering why I didn't stay outside and finish yard work on a lovely day
5Live has City match on. I just turned it on... Foden makes it 3
Maybe you should David....too cold here!
McAllister with a half chance there, well claimed by De Gea.
Alexis McAllister straight to De Gea
Apparently PSG have had a lot of possession but still 0-0
Far too cold here, as well. But fortunately, we haven't had any snow this week.
GOAL ! PHIL; FODEN PUTS CITEH THREE UP OFF POOR DEFENDING FROM FORMER POOL DEFENDER, SEB COATES. NICE RUN AND PASS FROM MAHREZ
What's the point of City playing the second half or the second leg
Pogba seems relatively happy to be sitting on the bench tonight. I'm surprised that he's not playing Fortnite on his phone.
Wish United were as clinical as Citeh have been tonight
Agreed, Dave - that fixture is basically over. Sporting should be ashamed of themselves.
United attack wave after wave
One chance....wait another 20 minutes and then another
Every game is the same!
Cuccarella appears to be a fully paid up member of the Hair Bear Bunch.
Fred into the box....useless back heal!
Citeh have out shot Sporting 6-0 and they're the away team. wish United had those stats in this match
All the United players are not moving
Agreed, Bob. Cucarella is paid in full on his annual dues and is a member
Is it Covid that is allowing United to play the same time as the CL
It was never allowed before
What I've noticed in the last few matches is that United are most dangerous on the break, even when playing at home. They don't seem to be able to break down teams in the regular course of play.
Ronaldo... bad pass to Elanga....United don't have a clue what to do with the ball
It must be; I wondered about that, too.
Tomorrow
Inter v Liverpool
Salz v Munich
Leeds v United on Sunday.....actually on the Telly!!!
There are three matches being played in the Championship . All are 0-0 at the half
McFred pass it to each other and then a bad pass to Dalot
Dalot kicks it out and Bruno controls it very well
His pass is piss poor
I'm happy to hear that - we haven't had one of those for quite a while. Of course, it will likely mean that we'll get tonked 2-7 or something.
Fred keeps miss controlling the ball
Maguire....rubbish
WHY DO I WATCH
There matches being played in L1 . Two are 0-0 asa the half . Richard Burton three up vs Bolton at the half . All three goals scored early on in a seven minute spell.
Last season...it was a nil niller
UNITED ARE BORING ME!!
City bore me too but they score goals... four nil
I hope it's an open and high scoring one. United do like to play us.
Can Sporting throw in the towel?
Can the ref step in a stop it?
There is still THREE more halves to play!!
GOAL WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S PIUTS CITEH FOUR UP OFF A DEFLECTED SHOT FROM WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S OFF A LAY BACK FROM STERLING WHO COLLECTED A NICE LONG BALL.
United KEEP giving the ball way!
An LOB blogging trio of stoppage time minutes in Lisbon
After Sunday's match, we've got Liverpool at Anfield in midweek (that's a Covid make-up match) and then Spurs at home at the following weekend.
United and Spurs... chances for points
Cross from Leo Trossard Shaw was headed out hen the seagulls volley wide by a Gross
How sad is that...Sancho's shot the only shot on target
Have we had one off target?
This is so easy for Brighton
City are 4 up at half time
Will they win the tie 16-0
Citeh FOUR up at the half
DAMN...I have to watch the whole match...my 4:30 was just called off
LOL! That is bad when you're looking for work to take you away from the match!
It is a Last Minute Cancellation
I still get paid!
Do you get any dosh if they cancel at the last minute?
Oh - I see it - that's fantastic!
Yes, I think I get paid more
Each school district is different pay but a LMC is another price
TH 14 along with Caradonna and Micah Richards in an effort to raise the intelligence level ion thew studio above nil. I n otiose that the two numpties are more serious since TH 14 his there to keep them in line
Fingers crossed my 5:30 gets called off too!
Well done, Dave. That is with the tutoring session, not the match
Brighton seem to be the home team
Great save by De Gea
Oh - De Gea with a wonder save there!
No pressure on the cross....man wide open with a header!
Where are the United players?
The latest update on the United press under Ralf The truth is that it is to press Dave's patience. Is he succeeding?
Bloody hell - Brighton are through again! Bissouma couldn't find the target.
OH!@ De Gea does well to turn around a header from Moder, not Scully. Nice cross from Joel Veltman
United get worse in the second half....is there lower to go after this performance
OH! Just wide by Bissouma. The seagulls have United a sea
Brighton fans singing....You're f**king sh*t
They aren't wrong
I can't really see that United have improved under Ralf Rangnick. They were on the edge of CL qualification then and they still are.
Not sure, Dave. There needs to be some teutonic anger from Ralf at the half.
I agree, Dave. Spot on by the seagulls supporters
Free kick to United
Ref calls it outside the box...it is
Free kick chance for United....into the wall shortly
First goal of the day in the Championship. The Evil Lions take the lead vs QPR
Decent free kick chance now for United. Come on, Ronny!
The replay shows that Alexis McAllister fouled Elanga just outside the box . Nice run and pass by Dalot
I called it
Bugger - straight into the wall!
Another corner gone....no goals
Free kick from CR 7 into the wall and out for a corner
What was that throw from Shaw - straight to the Brighton players!
Half time and boos ring around the ground.
OT fateful should boo
Bruno still laying on the ground
He likes to lay down too much
He likes to complain too much
His performances have been useless
Boos at the whistle....good
Bruno Shaw is down off a United throw
Into stoppage time
Boos at the half as it's 0-0 at the half at OT. Ralf needs to give the payers the hairdryer treatment at the half. I bet he hasn't been doing that
City think they got a fifth but a late VAR call and it was offside
PSG all over Real but still nil nil
back from getting the mail. Evil Lions two up vs QPR and Evil Cardiff one up vs Coventry
Surely United have to improve!!
Sadly, they haven't done so in most of their other matches
Can United make it to the 48th minute without conceding?
Off we go
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Wigan firmly second in L1 as they take the lead vs rock bottom Moitley Crewe
We're underway at Old Trafford in the second half now - come on, United!
Second half underway.
COME ON UNITED STOP SUCKING.
LET THE STRETFORD END SUCK ONE IN
United didn't win a SINGLE tackle?!?!?!
Sterling gives City a 5-0 lead
Boreham wood two up vs Altrincham . Lights put for Lamps in the Cup?
United actually cross the ball into the box!
Only one man to aim for and it is cleared
Now a corner.....chance gone then!
GOAL! STERLING PUTS CITEH FIVE UP
Comes to nothing of course
Maguire looked lost going for that
PSG get a penalty.. VAR will check
United have hit the 48th minute....no goal conceded
Penalty stands... Messi to take..Courtois saves!
Sterling actually lived up to his name. Long clearance from the sporting keeper headed on by Rodri to Weekend at Bernie's and his short pass went to Sterling who scored a curler in the upper 90 from 25 yards out
I love it when Messi messes up
GEEZ! Really getting messy for PSG .
Not sure you love Citeh thrashing the away team in the CL.
Blimey - Citeh are now 0-5 up over Sporting! Embarrassing for the Portugeezers.
Manchester United take the lead!!
I heard it on the radio over a minute before I saw it
PAHTETIC PEACOCK!!!
Great finish!
GOAL! CR-7 to the rescue!
WAY HAY ! CR 7 GOIVES UNITED THE LEAD WITH A GREAT FINISH
Now score another!!!!
Brighton played in the midfield like United do!!
Bruno didn't really celebrate...why not
Bissouma caught faffing about then CR 7 did what he does best. Cut inside then a swerving shot landed in the corner from the D to give United the lead
Interestingly, it came from a Brighton defensive mistake, not from build up by United. Well taken by Ronny.
Free kick to United again... United want a red card
Stop complaining so much...they are acting like babies!
I hate that crap
Now then - was that a red card offense? Seemed like Dunk was last man back. Yellow card given.
VAR checking.... gave Bruno a yellow for his complaining
Lewis Dunk caught faffing about then brings down Elanga. How was that a booking instead of a red card. He would have been through. The Aussie ref in charge of the VAR review
VAR still looking at the incident. I think it should be red. No way the other defender was going to catch Elanga.
Ref having a look now - he'll be going off for sure - the right decision.
Now the ref is going to the monitor. I think the Seagulls are going down a man. He's going to be dunked off
VAR checking for a Red Card
United won't dominate even if they go down to ten
It is a red
Lewis Dunk not best pleased but he's got to tell his story walking now. Off he goes having a grumble on his own. Brighton down to ten men!
Lewis Dunk sent off as it's changed to a red card. That's the right decision
United need to go on and score three more...don't HANG on and concede an equalizer
Not sure how Dunk can argue. The ref watched the video Straight into the wall by Bruno
Bruno....into the wall.... of course it does
Agreed, Dave. We need to put the ten men to the sword as stated in Brighton Beach Memoirs
Ronny lining up the free kick now - let's have another! Unfortunately, it's into the wall again.
Nice Neil Simon reference, David.
United MUST score again!!
Andy Townsend now says United need to get a second ., I bet Dave told him to say that
