United and Leeds and the Arsenal - Oh My!

 

It's a bumper crop of Prem action this morning, including matches involving our three favorite clubs. I'll be on the road heading toward Gooner HQ during part of the morning, so I'll be a bit in and out. Join me?

This is a must win for United. Rash dropped for disciplinary reasons and replaced by Garnacho in the starting lineup.

OH! Garnacho Sa did force a save from Jose with just the keeper to beat off a shocking back pass from Semedo . Should have given United the lead

I thought Rash was dropped from the squad, but he's on the bench. That's really not much of a disciplinary measure.

Yesterday in the Premiership, The Bees won 0-2 at the Hammers, increasing the pressure on Davie Moyes while Pool came from behind to defeat the Foxes 2-1 thanks to a pair of OGs for Belgian super defender . Wout Faes. I don't know Wout the Faes he was thinking.

There were Football League matches as well as Burnley won 0-1 at the Potteries remain top of the Championship. The fifth placed Hornets lost 4-0 at the swans , which is a real Swan dive. In L1 the Rams defeated Cambridge 1-0 to go fifth . Those are the highlights of yesterday's action.

Morning, David - great to have you on board. Half an hour in and I'm disappointed that it's still 0-0. We really need United to get a result today.

Thanks, Bob. Great to enjoy the pleasure of your company. I think Wolves will be a mid table team and I was expecting United to have to grind this out prior to kickoff. Agree though that United should be doing better

If you were on diaper duty with M&M then you may want to add Rash, who was dropped for disciplinary reasons. Is there cream for that Rash?

Barca takes an early lead in the Barca Derby as a pair of former Chelsea defenders combine. Marcos Alonso assisted by Christensen. Barca back on top of La Liga after Real won 0-2 at Valladolid yesterday

Offside as Marc Antony should have given United the lead. His Header sa was fukbed by Jose , but Sa did bare avoid crossing the line. It's 0-0 at the half.

Rash is finishing serving his sentence as he's on for Garnacho, who was nearly invisible during the first half. Adamants Traore on for Diego Costa, who was also all but invisible during the first half. Second half underway

De Gea Does well to turn around a curling free kick from Ruben Neves

It wa s lengthy possession off a United throw that culminated in a one two between Rash and Malacia. Rash played pin ball with two Wolves defenders then Sa did finish well past Jose

WAY HAY! RASH AT THE DOUBLE AS HE SCORES HIS AND UNITED'S SECOND

BUGGER! It Sa is disallowed for hand ball as Rash was through with just Jose to beat. His shot came off the keeper, bounced off his hand then thigh , so United hanging on to a slim lead instead of sealing the points.

It's over as United grind out a 0-1 win. It started with Rash sitting the bench and ended up with him scoring the winning goal. A key three points for United.
