Morning, David! Thanks for getting us going this morning. Nice to have a bit more time before the morning matches.
Morning Boys
I should be busy around the house but I am here for a bit to start...who knows!
Still loving yesterday's job by Leeds! I think it was deserved. They had quite a few chances to score some goals
Good Morning, Bob and Dave. Glad to help and it was great to have a lot of time to prep before matches.
Agreed. That match at Anfield was the most entertaining in a while and a joy to watch. Well deserved by Leeds
Still can't believe Forest don't have shirt sponsors the year they are in the Prem!
It's weird that the shirts look weird without it
We are off
They're off from the EM
I remember the shirt sponsors names started appearing when we were in high school. It looked weird when the sponsors names started appearing on the shirts.
I know!
I remember the first sponsoring years, they weren't allowed to be shown on TV. Then they had to make it smaller for it to be on TV. Now it looks weird without it
Just like black boots. Everyone wore black boots...now...if you see black boots... it looks weird
Great goal by the Gunners!
Martinelli with a great header from a good cross from Saka
GOAL ! I GUNNERS TAKE THE LEAD. BACK ON TOP
Hope United start this fast later on
Dave, I thought you would mention about Forest being caught in possession. Right back, Ryan Yates had his pocket picked, then a long diagonal pass found Saka wide right and his cross was met with a diving header from Martinelli
OH! Forest caught in possession then Saka schooled a player then found Jesus who curled a shot inches wide.
Moronic
Now it's top vs bottom and as a member of the defender's union., Forest caught faffing about for the goal and the near miss by Jesus
Agreed, Dave. It's easy to tell who is top and who is bottom.
I love that Liverpool lost to a team that was bottom as they kicked off and a team that was second bottom....in back to back weeks!! After they beat City!
Partey time for the Gunners? Dancing in the Streets of Alex?
I love it too. In my opinion, the loss of Mane has really hurt Pool. He seems to set the tone with his disruption of opposition defenses. Bayern's gain is their loss
The NFL's Jags and Broncos ruining the Wembley turf right now
I though they weren't going to go to Wembley any more and only play at Spurs..They've had two games already
Long may it continue... I'd love them not to make the CL
Barca, Athletico, and Sevilla all eliminated from the CL this week. That's what I call a good week. Just hope United don't face any of those in the knockout rounds
Morning, boys - just finished feeding Maddox his rice cereal.
Arsenal off to a flyer. I don't quite understand why they're so much better this season.
United's matches before the WC
West Ham H
R Soci A
Villa A
Villa H...League Cup
Fulham A
I think head to head is the first tiebreaker, so Pool will have to defeat Napoli by four or more goals to win the group. They will look like facing a group winner in the round of sixteen that's a non Prem team
United need to beat R Soci to win the group and avoid all of them
They need to beat them by two goals to win the group
Of course, I'm hoping that the Gunners thump Forest here.
Saka down. That's not good news for the Gunners and Three lions
Yes, UEFA is head to head
I prefer GD
Leeds have got:
Bournemouth H
Wolves (A - League Cup)
Spurs (A)
Dave, I don't see United winning by two or more in their back yard. It's possible , but a long shot
Big game vs Cherries...a win would be great to follow the win at Anfield....that sounds so great...win at Anfield
The matches vs Hammers and the Real Society look to be the two toughest. Cottagers are no pushovers either with M&M in the center of defense.
Must win vs the Cherries at ER next weekend and won't be easy. They gave the Spuds a tough match
Wonder if United win 2-1 would do it. Is Goals For the next tie breaker ?
OH! Off the line by Renan Lodi from his international teammate, Martinelli. Forest sliced apart yet again
No I think Soicedad win the group if it's 2-1 since UEFA did away with the away goals rule. Sociedad's goal difference would be +1 better. Those goals conceded in Cyprus are the difference in the goal difference.
I've heard that Macy is just a pest...always holding shirts, kicking shins, talking trash
Maddox is like his dad....hard but fair
It seems like it's back to Dave's statement of United needing to win by a minimum of two goals . I'm concerned that we may get the likes of Barca, Athletico, or Sevilla in the first knockout round by finishing runner's up. Do you all concur?
Bob is a good influence. Macy on track for playing in La Liga, Dave?
I hope Saka is ok for WC
He doesn't look happy
BUGGER! Saka coming off Reese Nelson replaces him for his first league appearance since the opening day of last season
Yes
Dave, I'm mistaken . You are correct that 1-2 would win the group for United and correct because goals scored would be the next tiebreaker. My apologies.
Athletic, Barca, Sevilla, and Juve all parachuting to the EL. Would want to avoid those teams and looks like a changing of the guard , so to speak
That's what I thought but after I thought of it...it would still be 2-2
Score flash...goal coming....because I am off to the loo
shot from Lindy threatens the corner flag. No wonder why United don't want him.
Thanks, Dave. I guess refer to what I posted at 10:22? That's my understanding from reading the tiebreakers.
Macy is indeed being a pest right now, trying to wake her brother up.
Poor form, Bob. Sound s like someone in the making. Are you concerned, LOL?
Arsenal creating the usual pretty patterns but I would have expected them to go on and put the hammer down here.
YIKES! The Gunners nearly gifted Forest an equalizer
Gabriel gifted Lindy a gilt edged chance , but his tame shot was easily blocked
Awoniyi with a free header off a free kick easily saved by Ramsdale , ut the offside flag was raised then Morgan Gibbs-White booked for a foul on Xakha Khan
Forest are knocking on the door with all of these set pieces.
Now I know what they mean by" I Feel For You." He really felt it!
A pair of stoppage time minutes. Will probably be another minute or two in addition
Jesus wins another Gunners free kick
The Gunners one up at the half, but it would have been more if they had out away more chances
Arsenal one up at the interval.
Back for the second half. Bob and Steve will be hoping for loads more Gunners goals
Back with a second cuppa for the second half. I am indeed hoping for more goals.
There's one! Reese-Nelson, the returning hero, slams home at the second offering.
GOAL RESSE NELSON PUTS THE GUNNERS TWO UP. HIS FIRST DSHOT WAS SAVED BY DEAN HENDERSON THEN HE EASILY PUT AWEAY THE REBOUND BY SMASHING HOME FROM CLOSE RANGE
That should be that for this one, so I'm going to head to the shower ahead of the United match.
It was a lovely Gunners move. It started with a throw from Ramsdale to Party, who went on a long run then passed to Xkha Khan to Jesus, to Nelson, who scored at the second attempt
GOAL ! RESSE NELSON AT THE DOUBLE OFF THE BENCH PUTS THE GUNNERS THREE UP
This goal also started at the back as a cross from Serge Aurier was headed out by Gabriel to Reese Nelson. Martinelli went on a long run and it culm innate in a one between Jesus and Odor Guar before Jesus's pass was diverted in from close range by Reese Nelson
Brennan Johnson for Morgan Gibbs -White and Manny Dennis not the Menace for Lindy as Steve Cooper makes a double substitution
GOAL ! WE'RE HAVING A PARTEY OR AT LEAST STEV IS AS THE GUNNERS GO FOUR UP. WHAT A SMASHING FINISH
Forest have given up as they ball watched letting g the Gunners put together 20-25 passes unchallenged . It culminated in Partey playing a pass wide right to Reese Nelson then back to Party for a curling short in the upper 90 just outside the D
I am back from walkies
Are Arsenal this good or Liverpool that bad?
Ronaldo starts for United
A double substitution from Mickey Arteta Martinelli and Tommy Ya soo are off. Fabio Viera Soares on. Steve Cooper with a double substitution . Joe Worrall for Awoniyi and Neco Williams for Renan Lodi., Sounds like damage limitation for Steve Cooper
Welcome back, Dave. The answer to your question I think is some of both
The final rolls of the dice from Mickey Arteta as Eddie is on for Xakha Khan and Kieran Tierney on for Willie Saliba
Five Nil
GOAL ! I SMELL A ROUT AS ODOR GUARD POUTS THE GUNNERS FIVE UP
Steve must be thrilled!
Where are all the fans wanting Arteta out?
It's Partey time from Nelson.
BOOM BOOM!
I heard chanting from the Streets of Alex.
WE WANT SIX!
Was that Steve?
Big match for Forest at SB next Sunday. I'm betting on the Gunners
Four , five , six without reply. Road thrashings for Forest.
A trio of stoppage time minutes
United would beat them one nil!
Nearly a sixth , but too much passing in the Forest box
LOL! I was thinking 8-1 , Dave!
I'm predicting four goals off the subs bench in the last ten minutes
Some supporters left early to out beat the London traffic
That's it as the Gunners thrash Forest 5-0
Bob missing more goals while showering than Dave in the bog?
Back from the shower - 5-0 wallop!
The team news out of Old Trafford:
Manchester United (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dalot, Maguire, MartÃnez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen; Elanga, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford; Ronaldo.
Subs: Malacia, Fred, Sancho, Pellistri, Dubravka, van de Beek, McTominay, Garnacho, Bishop.
West Ham (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell; Soucek, Rice; Bowen, Downes, Benrahma; Scamacca.
Subs: Areola, Johnson, Coufal, Fornals, Antonio, Lanzini, Areola, Ogbonna, Coventry, Emerson.
By the way, this is Manchester United’s final home game in the league until 27 December, when they host Forest. Meanwhile, Qatar v Ecuador kicks off in exactly three weeks’ time. It’s going to be weird, isn’t it?
It really will be!
United do play at home in the League Cup vs Villa after visiting Villa Park the match before
Welcome back, Bob. I will probably be a miss for Qatar vs Ecuador because I will be picking up Melanie from the Atlanta Airport that day and will be celebrating g our anniversary that day too.
It's strange to go without a home league match for nearly two months. Really bizarre.
I guess my debut match in the WC will be England vs Iran as I planned everything for November 21st before the schedule changed. Not changing the date of Melanie's flight
In terms of the PPP, Union Berlin has tied it up vs Gladbach late on. If this score stands Bayern goes back top, y a point. AA pair of extra points for everyone int the PPP as things stand
Teams coming out at Old Trafford so USA go for a commercial
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
Come on Man U
We are off
United need to match Arsenal, City, Spurs and Toon
And gain on Liverpool and Chelsea
They're off from OT! COME ON MAN UNITED!
West Ham almost had a break there!
Stop giving the ball away
Hammers away kits look like the Tangerines away kit. Don't like it, especially the shorts
A win would move us fifth ahead of Chelsea
Rash can't get a good connection from a Dalot shot
BLOODY HELL! Ball played wide right to Dilly Dalot which is what Rash did when he missed his kick
Do our clocks change next week?
COME ON! What is up with that shot from Elanga? He Zoumaed past Kurt that tapped a shot well wide of Flappy
Alanga was onside there... better effort please?
Yes w will be on standard time next week
I think you would have hit that hard with the laces in that position? That looked like me back in the day, not a United player
ETH has not changed the players for EL matches
Wonder what he'll do for the LC
The Hammers will be a much stiffer test than the like of I Shot the Sheriff.
That's a good question. Might as well play the EL players in the LC if I were ETH
Maddox says, "Come on, United!"
Union Berlin take the lead vs Gladbach in Dave's lucky seventh minute of stoppage time. They will remain top of the Bundesliga
Good boy
Are you lot playing Blackpool today?
Did you all hear about the wild stoppage time yesterday when Charlton hosted the Tractor Boys. The Tractor Boys were two up, but it was Desmond entering stoppage time.Tractor Boys scored to take a two goal lead in stoppage time then Charlton tied it up with the equalizer in the ninth minute of stoppage time as it finished 4-4
Did you see the Charlton Ipswich match yesterday?
Charlton 2 Ipswich 2 after 90 minutes
Ipswich take a 3-2 lead and then a 4-2 lead
Ends 4-4!!
Geez...David....JINX
LOL, Bob. That's what I mentioned at 12:18. Sunglasses required to view the shorts
LOL, Dave! I bet you weren't happy about the amount of stoppage time. Argyle can increase their lead at the top tomorrow in the local derby
Rash runs into the box...deflected over the bar
FINISH IT
GRRRR
OH! Shot from Rash deflected inches over for a corner off of Craig Dawson
Definitely so, Dave.
Rash with a header....straight Flappy
Free header for Rash easily saved by Flappy. Should have scored,
Aim to the side of the keeper
Creating a few chances...COME ON
Union Berlin hold on to win 2-1 , sop no extra points for us in the PPP. Union surprisingly remain top
Real being held 0-0 by Girona an hour in . They will be a point ahead of Barca if this result holds
United are attacking faster
CR 7 wins a United corner
Rice runs down the pitch....I don't think it went out!
It didn't
United got away with one. Declan Rice with a Peter Barnes type run down the left and the linesman flagged he ran the ball out of play when he did not
Sorry I missed your earlier comment, mate.
I like the fans complaining about not going forward
United keep losing possession in the wrong place
Will United do like the Gunners and markedly improve in the second half?
Two bad crosses by Rashford
Where's Morgan, Coppell, Hill, Kanchelskis, Giggs, Beckham
No probs, Bob. I still think it's a hilarious kit. In the words of Steve Miller, " A Pair of Cheap Sun glasses" to view those shorts
Agreed, Dave. I missed those players even though Sexton didn't agree with us about the injury prone Hill.
Moyes winless as opposing boss in the Prem at OT. Long may that continue
WH are just breakaway merchants. Hate them.
Bowen shot saved...offside anyway
First guy should have shot
Agreed, Bob. W need to do to then Hammers what the Gunners did to Forest
Would a victory vs the Hammers call for a celebration of Ham?
Kehrer needs to be more of a carer with the ball as that cross went to absolutely nobody
Real takes the lead vs Girona. Looks like they will remain top of La Liga . Not too much change happening in the PPP unless United win this match
CR 7 proving ETH right by naming him on the subs bench in previous matches with that atrocious pass.
Such a stupid back heal by Rash
Gareth won't appreciate that crap
overlap by Shaw....FIND a teammate!!
Just don't kick into the center
Not exactly a great effort by Elanga...didn't even go out of play!
Scimacca deservedly booked for a Rash foul on Rash near the corner flag after a ward volley from Elanga turned out to be a pass to Rash
Ericksen dienst beat the first man with the kick....PROFESSIONAL....STILL BALL...I don't get it
Not exactly a stellar pass from Bruno either
Elanga impersonating the wrong Dave with that volley. More like me instead of you.
YES!!!!! Great cross...great header!!
Are you watching Gareth?
WAY HAY! THAT'S MORE LIKE IT AS RASH HEADS IN A CROSS FROM ERIKSEN. A CENTURY OF UNITED GOALS FOR HIM
I don't think the pace was just on the cross Lee...It was a bullet header!!
#100 for Rash
Dixon is not right...the cross was floated
Wahay! Well done, Marcus! Great ball in from Erickson!
1-0!
LOL David!!
I'm sure you would have at least put it out for a corner!
United leapfrog Chelsea into fifth place
Goal kick not corner
The First King of Old Trafford in the stands
LOL, Dave! I did actually have one or two that did like Elanga's. Wondering if Bob has similar stories about shots on goals
King Eric needs to be in front of OT too.
Would put United seven points ahead of Liverpool
United would have game in hand on Spurs and Toon and 3 and 1 point behind respectively
Another replay of the goal to prove Lee wrong? He's still mention ing the pace of the cross when as Dave mentioned it was floated
I sure wish we weren't so far behind them on goal difference
Girona ties it up late in the Bernabeu. Former Teesider with the spot kick.Real still top by a point
Well...United need to keep their foot on the gas in some games...GOALS MATTER
Maguire heads clear and that is it for the first half
Keep on the front foot in the second half please
United one up at the half thanks to Rash's hundredth United goal
NINE minutes of stoppage time at the Bernabeu
Teams coming out for the second half
Flappy out
We are off
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
Arriola on for Flappy, who must be injured. Second half underway
Rash almost played in...don't cut back!
Its over at the Bernabeu and Real have been held 1-1 by My Girona, but remain top, a point ahead of Barca
Dixon is so anti-United
High boot by Scimacca on Martinez. He's already on a yellow.
I think it was that bad
Agreed, Dave. He was a Citeh fan as a child. We're anti Dixon
Rash needs to take a bit off that and find Bruno
United need another goal sharpish
Curling shot from Rash was a few yards wide
That Shaw was obstruction on Jarred Bowen
This would be an excellent result for Leeds - hang in there, United!
The Gooner is the biggest anti-Dixon person I know. He's always knocking the Arsenal.
Thanks for your support, Bob. It would be a great weekend to go along with Leeds and the Gunners wins
