arse playing Leicester and Lacazette puts arse a goal up inside 2 minutes. Not a bad start for the Froggy :o
-
They pulled one back 3 minutes later but arse are all over them like a rash :o
Bloody streams are playing up. The Foxes are 1-2 up, I missed both of their goals. >:(
-
2-2 at halftime, goal from Welbeck just before the half ended. arse will be lucky to get in the top 6 at the end of the season.
Here's my predictions:
1 United
2 Citeh
3 Spurs
4 Chelsea
5 Red Scouse gits
6 Blue Scouse gits
7 arse
Unless we have a fourth season on the trot with a ridiculous amount of injuries of course.
Bottom 3:
18 Newcastle
19 Huddersfield
20 Watford
8)
arse are 2-3 down now.
-
Bloody he'll, they ended up winning 4-3 lol ;D
I still stand by my prediction of 7th place for them though unless they get knocked out of the Europa League early.
-
Stupid challenge from Cahill with his studs up and gets a straight red 14 minutes into the game. Chelsea changing to a back 4 now.
2 yellows and a red for Chelsea in 16 minutes lol
Can't believe that Cahill was that stupid. That's a red card in each of their last 3 games :o
-
The red Scouse gits ended up with a 3-3 draw. That's 13 goals in the first 2 Premiership matches :o
The Roonster is starting his first game back home today too. Now that we've got rid of him he'll end up being the Premiership top goalscorer this season lol ;D
-
Burnley go a goal up through Vokes after 23 minutes. :o
-
That's 0-2 now, a cracking goal from Ward.
Never mind. They can always put Costa on. Oh. ;D
-
And that's Vokes with a brace. 0-3 to Burnley just before halftime.
Might be worth picking up a fine and not coming out for the second half to keep the scoreline down to 3 lmfao ;D
-
Red for Cahill was still harsh in my opinion but he's a stupid twat for giving the ref a decision because of his poor first touch.
Both Pedro and Cahill's cards have been for challenges no worse than we've seen in other matches so far but for which no red was given.
Ultimately this is down to the Chelsea board. 4th time they've done this after a title win. Utterly fucking ridiculous and most ardent Chelsea fans have been predicting it, though we didn't expect it to go this bad this early.
Started well until the red.
This was the easiest of our opening fixtures and we have some tough games coming up now. This is 2015/16 all over again and unless we spend stupid money (which I'm not totally in favour of) we are totally fucked and I can see Conte walking out before the end of the transfer window.
-
Tbh I thought Conte might have quit when we signed Lukaku. He probably would have gone if we nicked Bakayoko too.
Fibreglass needs to watch his dissent otherwise he might end up going too.
-
Mind you, I shouldn't give it the biggun too much or we'll get hammered by The Hammers tomorrow lol
-
Morata with his first Chelsea goal. 1-3 now. They MIGHT get a point if they're lucky but with 20 minutes to go time is starting to run out.
-
Morata looking good so far.
-
That's Fibreglass off now lol. He should have gone off earlier for a second booking for dissent tbh.
Crowd are now singing '3-1 to the referee lmfao.
A bit harsh to the ref, both red cards were correct decisions...and as I said, Fibreglass could have gone off earlier.
-
2-3 Now, goal from Louise. :o
-
2-3 final score. ;D
-
Fabregas first card was costly. Stupid dissent, but the ref overall was an absolute cunt. One of the worst I've ever seen. Letting Burnley off without cards for similar challenges time after time before eventually booking a couple and one yellow for a challenge as dangerous as Cahill's.
Good second half but I'd like a few minutes alone with that ref in a dark alley with no CCTV
-
The difference between that challenge and the Cahill one was that the player tried pulling out of the challenge. It all comes down to intent. Even if Cahill made no contact with the player it would have been a red card. Because the Burnley player tried to pull out of the challenge when he realised it was potentially dangerous there was no intent there. The red card and that yellow card were both correct decisions.
Louise could have had 4 or 5 yellow cards too, purely for dissent. :o
-
Expect jman and to go missing for a while now unless United get beat tomorrow lol ;D
-
Yep... I didn't watch or listen to the game, otherwise engaged I'm afraid... Just aswell by the sounds of it... By the way I don't go missing harv, I just don't want to talk to you because you're a bore who churns out the same shit every season after every game.
-
Nonsense. You DEFINITELY went missing when we beat you last season lmfao.
Does anyone else think that City's away kit looks decidedly homosexual? lol
-
Almost 80% possession for the Bitters and both teams go in without scoring. Brighton only had one shot on goal which was on target but a weak effort.
They've done well to go in level but you can't help feeling that it's only a matter of time before it starts raining goals. I almost put them in as my relegation prediction but thought that the Geordies were more likely by a whisker.
-
If any of you are having problems with streams like I did yesterday it's because ISPs have started to block them. To get around this use Touch VPN and set your location to the Netherlands. Problem solved! 8)
-
Awww...Citeh go a goal up :(
-
0-2 Now. The keeper should have saved that tbh. They'll probably get 3 or 4 now :'(
-
0-2 final score and a gutsy performance from Brighton. Quality and fitness made the difference as you would have expected but if they play like this until the end of the season they'll easily stay up. ;D
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Blind
Pogba Matic
Mata Micki Rashford
Lukaku
Bench: Romero, Martial, Smalling, Lingard, Herrera, Fellaini, Darmian
Just seen a Russian model on MUTV who's the 2018 World Cup Ambassador. Beautiful :o
-
It's all United so far as expected but we've only had one shot on goal so far. We're popping the ball around nicely though.
-
Pogba having a great game so far. Having Matic there is unlocking Pogba's attacking play. West Ham are keeping things nice and tight in their defensive third and are having trouble coping with Mata especially.
-
A quick counter via Rashford, Matic making a great run on the overlap to distract the Hammers and Rashford feeds Lukaku who makes a great finish past Hart. Nice goal, 1-0 to United 8)
-
De Gea makes a good save after a Hernandez shot deflects a bit and that's the first half over. Good performance from United so far but we haven't got anywhere near enough attempts on target yet AGAIN :o
Think we'll see goals from both sides in the second half.
-
And that's two for Lukaku. Terrible defending as Lukaku sticks it in from a free kick with his nut. 8)
-
Martial came on for Rashford and gets number three.
2 minutes to go plus injury time, another goal and we go top of the table lol
-
And there it is, Pogba makes it 4-0. United top of the table unless the Hammers get a consolation goal.
-
4-0 final score and a deserved result that reflects the balance of play. ;D
Great starts for Matic and Lukaku and Pogba looks to be benefiting from Matic's presence on the pitch. Top of the table and near the bottom of the Premiership Injury Table with only 4 players injured - the least amount of players injured for United during the last 3 years :o
-
United team news:
Same as last week.
Saved me a bit of typing lol
-
The Swans playing with 11 men behind the ball.
Pogba picked up an early yellow card so needs to be careful.
-
Bailly gets his first United goal. 8)
-
And that's the end of the first half, United go in a goal up. Goal came from a corner, Pogba headed it producing a good save from the keeper, the ball came off the crossbar and Bailly was quick to react and put it in the net.
I thought that Rashford would be the first to score because he was United's biggest threat in the first half.
-
Fer should have gone off for that challenge on Blind. That was a potential leg breaker :o
-
And Lukaku gets United's second goal. 8)
And 2 minutes later Pogba gets number 3! ;D
I want another couple of goals, we used to average 3 games a season (in all competitions) scoring 5 goals every season since the club was first founded and that statistic has dropped since Fergie left.
And Martial gets number 4! 8)
-
It ended 0-4 to United 8)
A couple of easy matches though to be fair but Leicester will prove to be more of a challenge next week. We've actually been pretty lucky with the Premiership fixtures this year, most of our tough fixtures are spread out nicely.
Still, easy games or not you can't sniff at 8 goals scored and 0 goals conceded in two matches. ;D
-
I watched most of the football over the weekend, I thought Pogba was incredibly lucky not to be sent off and Swansea did well in the first half, could of been a different game had they not conceded just before half time but I think the result was inevitable.. I think swansea will struggle to stay up now they've sold their best player.
Chelsea performance was good.. excited for Bakayoko, looks like an decent prospect.. he needs time to adapt to the PL though as he did give a few silly fouls away.. Morata looked absolutely knackered after 60-65 minutes.. obviously still not fit.. but should of buried that chance at the start of the game.
Caught about 60 minutes of the City - Everton game.. both red cards were ridiculous - Bobby Madley, same prick who sent Pedro off in the community shield match for a yellow card tackle - perhaps he needs to go to Specsavers.
-
Incredibly lucky? Nope. That second challenge was a foul and never a yellow card. You seem to disagree with just about every single pundit that's commented on the matter. ;)
A tougher test for United on Saturday against The Foxes but we're playing at home and our confidence is up.
I think a big problem that Maureen had last season was getting the players into the habit of passing forwards instead of sideways and backwards, plus the ridiculous amount of injuries we had. The top two at the end of the season is definitely going to be the two Manchester clubs imo.
Nobody else doing predictions..?
-
Martial gets a start this evening against Leicester and Rashford is on the bench:
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Blind
Matic Pogba
Mata Micki Martial
Lukaku
Bench: Romero Darmian Smalling Herrera Fellaini Lingard Rashford
A MUCH tougher test for United this evening compared to the first 2 matches but we did put 7 past them last season.
-
United were all over them during that first half. 13 attempts on goal but only 3 on target though. They've had 2 and one on target. You can't help thinking that it's only a matter of time before United score but we REALLY need to get more of our chances on target if we're going to win this.
-
Looks like that comment of mine has put the kiss of death on United scoring this evening. Young Schmeichel has made a couple of great saves including one from a Lukaku penalty. Should have been retaken though because he came off his line a fair bit.
-
Phew! Rashford just put us a goal ahead!
-
Fellaini on for Micki and now Lingard on for Martial. Rashford came on for Mata earlier.
-
And that's number two. Fellaini looked offside to me but I'm not going to complain lol. ;D
-
2-0 final score. 3 matches played, 3 wins, 10 goals scored and 0 goals conceded. The scoreline last week flattered us but this week on balance of play 4-0 would have been a fair result.
Pogba got the Man Of The Match award but it should have gone to Maguire. He was immense during that game. Schmeichel also came close to getting it from me too.
-
Man U looking top notch at the moment Harv
-
Yup, and only 5 injuries so far. Plus we've scored nearly a fifth of the total goals scored for the whole of last season in 3 matches lmfao
It's the Matic signing that's done it. Chelsea were crazy to let him go and even crazier to let him go to United. One of the most bizarre transfer decisions I've EVER seen a football club make. What the fuck were they thinking..?
Pogba's improvement so far is down to 2 things. Firstly Matic is allowing him to play further forward where his game excels and secondly he appears to have got rid of the 'ring rust' that he had last season after playing in Italy for three years.
Still, early days yet, but the signs so far are looking pretty good. All we need now is a bit of luck with injuries and we should win the Premiership. These last three seasons have been ridiculous. Any of the other top 6 clubs would have ended up mid-table if they had the injuries that we've had for the last three seasons, it's only down to our squad being the strongest in the Premiership that we haven't been mid-table every season. 86 injuries during Van Gaal's first season (although to be fair that does include players unavailable through illness too!). :o
-
Apparently Barkley changed his mind partway through his medical for Chelsea. :o
-
That total bullshit has been exposed in the press. He never had a medical. Decided to wait until he's fit.
Wouldn't be surprised if there has been a deal done to wait until January when his price will drop as he's closer to the end of his contract. Paying that kind of money for a player available on a free in the summer is just stupid, same as City with Sanchez.
Personally I'd rather we didn't sign Berkley. Not going to improve the first team.
Glad Ox didn't join us. Wanted to play in centre mid. Who the hell would he displace in out team on the wing or in the middle. I wouldn't even pick him ahead of Moses at wing-back. His stats from Arsenal are awful in terms of productivity (assists and goals).
Right now we should be looking to improve the first team if we can, not be spending stupid money on players who will warm the bench.
-
Yup, Barkley is a big fish in a small pond at Everton and Oxymoron is useless.
And I'm tempted to put a quid on arse to get relegated but they're only 750/1 now lol ;D
-
And Ray Wilkins has joined the LONG list of pundits that are baffled by Chelsea's bizarre decision to sell Matic to United. It seems like jman is the only person in the world that doesn't think it was a bad decision lol ;D
-
I think it was okay. If Utd hadn't bought Matic they might have bought someone better, and believe me there are a fair few better. Bakayoko for instance is a massive upgrade on Matic.
So it might have helped Utd but they;d have bought someone else anyway and nobody else was going to give us £40 million for Matic.
You'll realise his limitations eventually. He has his good games but he has periods during a season where he goes missing if things aren't going well - like our bad season a couple of years back.
Then there's the fact if we have belief in ourselves and the players we've bought, Utd were always going to be stronger this time round and if it helps Utd take points of of other top sides, then it may do us a favour in some respects. We've just got to make sure we win our games.
-
Chelsea are gonna get relegated. You should put your money on now before they end up odds-on :P
And arse too ;D ;D ;D
Shame you can't put a multiple bet on relegations these days, a Chelsea and arse relegation Double would give you GREAT odds :o 8)
-
£40m is definitely a great price for a 29 year old - in that context, its a great deal - I never said anything about selling to one of our rivals. Bakayoko has only played 1 game and will need time to settle - but he already looks a better prospect that Matic and much younger.
Anyone trying to suggest that Matic was as influential as Kante was last season (RW) is obviously talking bollocks.
United have beat Leicester, Swansea and West Ham and harv is giving it the biggun already lol - oh dear ;D
-
Those are the sort of matches we drew last season, we've not only won all three but we've also scored 10 goals and not conceded any. Like I've said before if we only have HALF the injuries that we had last season we'll win the Premiership. And it's not just me giving it the biggun, most pundits think it's only going to be United and the Bitters in the running for the Premiership title. 8)
-
Well that's 3 weeks knocked off the transfer window starting next Summer. It wouldn't be so much of a problem if the rest of Europe did the same. Even if they started the transfer window 3 weeks earlier it still wouldn't do English clubs any good because they wouldn't be able to sign anybody from a European club. And now European clubs can buy players belonging to English clubs after the transfer window has closed leaving them unable to replace players.
Great idea ::) :-\ >:(
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Darmian
Matic Herrera
Micki Pogba Rashford
Lukaku
Looks like Pogba playing as the number 10.
-
Bollocks. United go 1-0 down against the run of play. Nice goal too. :'(
-
Thought Pogba had got the equaliser but it was Rashford via a deflection. This first half has been all United, they didn't deserve to go in behind at halftime. 1-1. 8)
-
Lukaku makes it 1-2 8)
-
Aw bugger. 2-2 now. This half is more even and more open than the first half.
-
2-2 final score after a great second half from Stoke. Looks like Sparky must have thrown those tea cups around the dressing room during the break because Stoke were a completely different side when they came out for the second half. A point each was a fair result over the 90 minutes I think.
We're still top but only on goal difference. :(
-
Just leave this here... ;D
Those are the sort of matches we drew last season, we've not only won all three but we've also scored 10 goals and not conceded any.
-
most pundits think it's only going to be United and the Bitters in the running for the Premiership title. 8)
LMAO - they said exactly the same last season.
-
Just leave this here... ;D
Those are the sort of matches we drew last season, we've not only won all three but we've also scored 10 goals and not conceded any.
You can leave that there without a problem. It doesn't change the fact that those three first matches were the sort of matches that we drew last season. Stoke away is always a tough match for any side and we haven't beaten them since Fergie was at the club.
And we're still top of the table too. ;)
-
It doesn't change the fact that those three first matches were the sort of matches that we drew last season.
You won your first 3 matches last season... sounds like you're talking out your bum again ::)
-
Last season we drew against Swansea away and against West Ham at home. ;)
-
You beat Swansea away 3-1 last season and won your first 3 games, stop talking out ya bum.. Your defense looked as dodgy as it was last season, Jones and Darmian wouldn't get anywhere near Chelsea's first 11.
-
Oops, my bad. I was thinking about Swansea at home.
But my point still stands, we struggled to beat the small sides like Southamton, Swansea, West Ham, Bournemouth, Hull, Watford and West Brom. And many of those draws or defeats were at home.
We've had a great start to the season and unless we have a shitload of injuries AGAIN then wise money would be on United to win the title.
As for our defence you might want to remember that since the Premiership started United have ALWAYS had one of the best defensive records in the league once the season is over. And even if we do concede a shitload of goals we have plenty of firepower up front and in the middle to win matches.
United are going to win the Premiership, Chelsea are going to get relegated :P
-
Your point is bollocks...
You won your first 3 games last season against (so-called) lesser opponents - and you finished nearly 30 points off the top of the table.
You've won your first 3 games this against (so-called) lesser opponents.. and you think you are going to win the league ;D ;D
Mind you, you thought you were going to win the league last season.. and the season before... and the season before... and the season before ;D ;D ;D
-
Just wait and see. This is Maureen's second season and you know what that means ;)
-
Looks like Pogba is out for a good few weeks, that's harv's pre-made excuse sorted for winning bugger all this season ;D
-
Just wait and see. This is Maureen's second season and you know what that means ;)
That it's his last full season in charge?
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Aw bollocks. I had a dream last night that Chelsea vs arse ended up 0-0. I should have put money on it >:(
-
Wow. What a cracking strike from Valencia :o
United go a goal up in the first 3 minutes. Fantastic goal.
-
United have well and truly taken their foot off the pedal this half. Lingard on for Rashford.
-
Unselfish play from Lukaku gives an assist to Micki's goal. 2-0.
-
Lukaku makes it 3. He should have got a booking for that celebration though.
De Gea has won this for us though and the scoreline REALLY flatters us.
Martial gets number 4 from the penalty spot.
On the balance of play a draw would have been a fair result tbh.
-
Bah! We've lost the top spot on alphabetical order lol ;D
-
We're now in second place on goal difference with just one goal in it. Still, I can't complain too much about ONLY 21 goals scored and 2 goals conceded in 7 matches lol
We haven't played anyone any good so far though, but some of the matches that we've played and won convincingly so far are the ones that we struggled with last season so I'm VERY happy with the way things have gone so far. The red Scouse gits next after the international break.
-
Oh well, that didn't last long! Back to the top of the Premier League Injury Table again >:(
-
I missed the match against the red scouse gits earlier, thought we were playing on Sunday. Doesn't sound like I missed much. Maureen parked the bus. 0-0 draw. >:(
-
Another defeat for Chelsea yesterday, looks like they're going to be out of the title race before Christmas unless they get their arses in gear :o
-
Unfortunately, when you go into a season with only one decent striker and you've failed to strengthen your squad YET A-FUCKING-GAIN after a title win, it's hardly surprising.
Our board will never learn and we'll be appointing a new manager before long. >:( >:( >:(
-
Okay. Own up. Who broke the forums? lol :o ;D ;D ;D
United's first loss today against Huddlesfield, 2-1. United punished by 2 stupid errors by Matic and Lindelof who came on for Jones who has had yet another injury. If Jones could stay fit for more than 5 minutes he would be the best defender in the Premiership.
United denied a stonewall penalty in the first half when we were 2-1 down which could have changed the game but we didn't get it.
And Chelsea struggled to beat Watford AT HOME so at least jman isn't going to give me any grief for our result today lmfao ;D ;D ;D
With their 3-0 win over Burnley that's opened up a 5 point gap between us :(
-
We struggled to beat Watford (and were lucky not to be 4-1 down at one point) but we still beat them. You lost. YOu're not going to win the title. No second season glory for Mourinho. You'll give him a new contract and then he'll get a bigger payoff when you eventually sack him.
Good to see the real Matic starting to make an appearance.
-
Doesn't matter how badly Chelsea do, I'll give you grief anytime I want harv - I'm not the one suggesting we are going to win the league. You played awful against Liverpool and terrible against Huddesfield - Spurs and Chelsea to play in the next two games - you could be out of the top 4 in the next few weeks ;)
-
A good result against Spurs, we won 1-0 with Martial getting the goal. Spurs deserved a point from that tbh but I'm not complaining too much. Matic won the MOTM award but I would have given it to Young myself.
Things probably would have been different if Kane was fit but it's looking like Spurs are a one man team tbh.
-
Oh well, I wasn't expecting arse to do us any favours, they're getting hammered 3-1 at the moment by the Bitters.
Half an hour until the Chelsea vs United match, here's United's line-up:
De Gea
Bailly Smalling Jones
Valencia Herrera Micki Matic Young
Lukaku Rashford
Bench: Romero, Darmian, Blind, McTominay, Fellaini, Lingard, Martial
Plenty of potential game-changers on the bench for United and Chelsea might struggle to contain Young as our left wing back as long as Maureen doesn't do what EVERYONE is expecting him to do and park the fucking bus.
-
Lmfao, we should be a goal down after Jones scored an own goal. Ref gave us a free kick instead. VERY lucky :o
-
Unfair booking for Bakayoko, although to be fair he deserves a booking for coming onto the pitch with a load of candy floss on his head :o ;D
-
Herrera diving in his own box to get a free kick, Push on Morata in the box every bit as bad as the push by Morata for the disallowed goal. Ref biased as fuck.
-
Leave the ref alone, he's doing great 8)
0-0 at halftime and Chelsea have just edged the first half. Could still go either way but if Chelsea play the way they did in the first half I can see them winning the game.
One advantage that United have is that they have several potential game changers on the bench to come on - Fellaini, Lingard and/or Martial could be key to getting United 3 points.
-
Bollocks, 1-0 down. Header from Morata :'(
-
Should have been red for Fellaini. Looked first, knoew exactly what he was doing.
-
Another defeat at the Bridge Harv. ;) ;D ;D ;D
-
Nah, Fellaini is an angel lol
1-0 final score and a well deserved 3 points for Chelsea. :(
-
We probably would have got a result from a bit of bus parkage but I've no real complaints. It's not the way I like to see ANY side play let alone United.
-
Outplayed and outclassed - we look a different team with Kante... but Fabregas, Hazard and Morata were superb today - could have been 2 or 3 in all honesty ;D
Mourinho's away record against the top 6 is fucking awful
-
Not with us it wasn't ;) (I'm including first time with us too)
-
I'm not worried. We'll still win the Premiership...we're just giving City a sporting head start lol :P
One good thing today that has absolutely NOTHING to do with football is that I've finished another two models for my game. That's 3 in total now...only another 40-odd to go lmfao :P
I MIGHT be able to get this game finished before I die of old age :o 8)
-
I'm not worried. We'll still win the Premiership...we're just giving City a sporting head start lol :P
Cheers, I needed a laugh
Not as funny as Jose's deluded interview though. Apparently we scored in the only period of the game we were on top.
Like winning 4-0 last season on the counter attack.
The man has become a walking parody of himself.
-
Nice to see Lukaku proving he can do it against the big teams too ;D
Mourinho has always been like that Drags, it's just seeing it from the other side of the fence I think.
-
Still got the Christmas and New Year fixtures to come yet, hopefully the Bitters will be too full of Christmas Pud to win matches lol ;D ;D ;D
Just put my models in Unreal Engine 4 and they look awesome. Got some dropped frames here and there which is a bit puzzling. Not sure what's going on there, if I have any of those when I submit my game to Oculus they'll throw it back in my face lol :o ;D ;D ;D
-
Mourinho has always been like that Drags, it's just seeing it from the other side of the fence I think.
I'm not so sure, first time round there was a lot more humour to him, he was a wind up merchant. As time has gone on he has become more paranoid and seems bitter for some reason, like he feels he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
He wants to be seen in the same light as the Shankly or Fergie, even Pep gets ore credit in the media for his achievements, despite continually walking into ready made squads with oodles of cash to improve. Jose has at least had to rebuild a bit from time to time.
The reason he never wanted to follow Fergie directly at Utd was because he knew he would be on a hiding to nothing. A failure if he didn't win, riding on Fergie's coat tails if he did. So he swept in thinking he'd be the ssaviour but has not had a great deal of affection from the press and if he doesn't win it this year, it won't get any easier for him.
I seriously think he has developed a number of mental health issues.
-
Things should improve once we get Pogba back, it isn't a coincidence that a few of our bad results have come with Pogba having a long-term injury. He'll be back against Newcastle on the 18th hopefully.
-
Apparently Pogba, Zlatan and Rojo are all fit according to Maureen. Hopefully Pogba will start tomorrow evening. I think that brings us down to just 2 injuries. Fucking hell! :o
-
That'll do. C'mon FSW.
-
Oops, 0-1 down. Missed the goal because the stream fucked up for 5 minutes >:(
-
1-1 now, a header from Martial after some great work from Pogba. 8)
-
I quite like what he's done with his hair too lol ;D
-
And I've missed another one lol
2-1 to United, goal from Smalling. I'm sure these players know when my stream goes tits up. :(
2-1 at halftime and a good match so far, plenty of action for both sides.
-
And now 3-1. Goal from Pogba.
-
And that's the end of Lukaku's goal drought. 4-1. 8)
Pogba came off for Fellaini, great to have Pogba back.
-
And Zlatan is back. He comes on for Martial. ;D
-
4-1 final score. A great performance from United, we're a completely different side with Pogba playing. ;D
-
Another dogged performance from Brighton but a cruel deflection from a Young shot puts United 1-0 up. And it wasn't a corner either lol
I've been impressed by Brighton so far this season.
-
Well they were your toughst opponents this season according to the ever more deluded Mourinho.
-
Looks like United are playing with 3 at the back with Lindelof, Smalling and Rojo and Valencia and Young as wing backs.
Matic and Pogba in the middle of the park and Lingard, Martial and Lukaku up front.
Going to be a tough match.
-
I'm having a bloody nightmare with streams tonight. United 0-2 up and I've missed both goals, both scored by Young.
-
I saw the second goal, keeper was at fault for that one, and I've also missed goal number three. I think I've found a decent stream now so there probably won't be any more goals now lol ;D
-
Matic is injured, Herrera comes on to replace him. :(
-
Oh bollocks. 2-3 now, they've got a couple of goals back and 7 minutes to go. :'(
-
Wow. Jesse Lingard puts United two goals ahead with a fantastic individual goal. That will be a good candidate for Goal Of The Month I think.
Young has just been awarded the MOTM award, deservedly so.
4 minutes to go.
-
2-4 final score and a deserved win for United. That's the 8th time we've scored 4 goals or more. That's put a bit of pressure on City for tomorrow now but I'll be VERY surprised if they're not 8 points ahead again tomorrow night.
-
Well that's a good start! United go a goal up, nice goal too by Valencia ;D
-
Fucking hell, how arse haven't managed to get a goal in that first half is beyond me lol. They've had LOADS of chances but haven't taken any of them!!! :o
We've had 2 attempts on target and got 2 goals lmfao ;D
I can't see us keeping a clean sheet if the second half is anything like the first! :o
-
Bollocks, they got one back and now my stream has gone tits up :'(
-
De Gea MOTM so far, Lingard puts United 1-3 up.
Herrera on for Martial, time to park that bus!
-
Pogba deservedly gets sent off. United down to 10 men and that's Pogba banned against City. Shite. :'(
-
1-3 final score thanks to De Gea. Pogba being banned for the City game is a HUGE blow though. :'(
-
West Ham 1 up against City at half time :o
-
Bah! They ended up winning 2-1 >:(
And with us losing Pogba they'll be favourites to win next week too. :'(
-
They would be favourites anyway :-\ ;D ;D
This is how Mourinho is going to line up next week, guarantee it:
(https://mwl1967.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/parking-the-bus-21.jpg)
-
Hopefully not. The Bitter Berties will want a win to get 11 points clear of United before the Christmas and New Year fixtures start and with the ridiculous amount of pace we have we're quite capable of scoring a goal or two on the counter. Pogba is going to be a BIG loss for us though. :'(
-
No surprises in the team selection this afternoon for the Manchester derby, looks like 4 at the back:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Young
Herrera Matic
Radford Lingard Martial
Lukaku
Plenty of pace up front to cause City problems on the break. Going to be an even game I think but we have the home advantage which will hopefully get us 3 points.
-
We've got a ridiculous amount of pace up front, plenty of dribbling skills and we're just hoofing the ball up to Lukaku. We're not going to win like this ffs :o >:(
-
United go a goal down just before half-time, and I missed the goal because I can't find a decent stream >:(
And I was about to type 'the next goal is going to be vital' and have just seen we got an equaliser.
Thought I posted this earlier lol
Ended up 1-1 at halftime and now City have gone ahead again at the start of the second half. We've been piss poor for the first hour of this game, I can't see us getting bugger all from this. Our entire side has gone missing so far >:(
-
We've got a ridiculous amount of pace up front, plenty of dribbling skills and we're just hoofing the ball up to Lukaku. We're not going to win like this ffs :o >:(
Just like Mourinho did constantly when Chelsea lost to Liverpool in the CL. Very tactically limited is Jose.
-
Well that's probably the title over now unless they throw it away during the Christmas and New Year fixtures. If we had taken 3 points off them then anyone in the top four would have been in with a chance but I can't see anyone catching them up now. :'(
We've seen 12 point gaps closed and teams losing the Premiership before but I can't see them falling apart. >:(
-
Looks like there was a fracas in the tunnel after the Manchester derby lol. No real details on what happened but they had their music on too loud, Maureen went to complain and he got squirted with water and milk lmfao :o ;D ;D ;D
-
Hopefully the FA will dock both sides 10 points.. just to give the other teams a chance this year :P
-
Nah, they would only dock points if it happened on the pitch lol ;D
-
Bollocks, my internet is wonky so I'm having to 'watch' the match via the Sky Sports app on my phone. United are 2 up, goals from Lukaku and Lingard in the first half.
-
Good point by Neville before the game, 660m spent since Fergie left and 7 out of todays starting XI played under Fergie. ;) ;D
-
1-2 now. These next 15 minutes or so are going to be interesting lol
-
Phew! That was a relief! 1-2 final score. We really should have put that game to bed rather than having a nervous last 15 minutes. :-\
-
Bloody hell, we're only down to 3 injuries now!!! Fellaini is out until January, Bailly is out until March and no news on when Carrick is back. It's looking like his career is over to me, but I was expecting him to retire at the end of this season anyway.
So if we don't get any more injuries over the Christmas and New Year fixtures we could be down to just 2 injuries next month :o
-
And yet Bristol City just beat you ;D ;D ;D
-
And yet Bristol City just beat you ;D ;D ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Meh! It was a Cup tie, these things happen. And it's not as if Bristol City are a bad side either ;)
-
Yeah, they are a decent championship side.. ;D ;D ;D
Oh dear, no trophies for united this year then ;)
-
Leicester vs United is 1-1 at halftime. United have dominated the first half but we haven't taken our chances and Leicester went ahead on a counter attack before Mata scored the equaliser.
-
Mata put United 1-2 up and now Leicester are down to 10 men. We should be 2 or 3 goals ahead before that red card. So many chances wasted. :o
-
Bollocks. 2-2 now :'(
-
That's City 13 points clear now, hopefully they're going to drop LOADS of points over the Christmas and New Year fixtures lol >:(
-
Quiet today Harv, how's that title looking
-
Wanted to post earlier but had the privilege of having my puss sitting on my lap which doesn't happen that often and I couldn't reach my phone.
Burnley is always a tough match for us, although they haven't beaten us at home for donkey's years.
I missed the first goal because I've been having problems with streams again but the commentators said they were lucky to get it. Saw the second one which was a cracking free kick which De Gea came close to getting a hand to it, and before the goal we were laying siege to the Burnley goal.
2-0 to Burnley at halftime and the next goal is vital. :o
-
And the scoreline is VERY flattering to Burnley too.
-
Nice backheel from Lingard makes it 1-2. ;D
-
Bloody stream has died now. Am having to rely on Sky Sports text commentary lol. I think we've lost this and we certainly didn't deserve to. We were all over them. >:(
-
On the other hand...Lingard gets an equaliser in injury time! No idea how long there is to go though.
-
Avoided your first home boxing day defeat in 39 years
-
That's it, 2-2 final score. We really deserved 3 points there on balance of play >:(
-
Avoided your first home boxing day defeat in 39 years
Yup, for some reason United seem to play better after Christmas most seasons. We deserved a win there though. Bloody Clarets!
-
Lost to Bristol City
Drew with 10 man Leicester
Drew to Burnley at home
Looks like your won't even get 2 years out of Jose, he's gonna have that breakdown soon ;) ;D
-
Well we'll have to wait and see. I don't think we'll see Zlatan and Lukaku playing up front together again, they weren't too impressive today. So glad that he decided to play Young at right back and Shaw at left back though.
-
(https://s14.postimg.org/44yfyh935/FB_IMG_1514397722290.jpg)
;D ;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
He's gone all Scouse and is banging on about history too.
Which is quite close to histrionics we normally expect from him.
-
Yup, he'll probably upset either some of the players or the board and get sacked before the end of the season like he normally does lol
-
Shaw and Young starting as left and right backs. Hopefully Shaw can hold a regular starting place and not continue to be unlucky with injuries :o
-
Lukaku has got a bonk on the head, think he'll be stretchered off...doesn't look too good. Yet another injury to add to the list. :'(
-
Bollocks, should have had a penalty there but the ref wasn't in the best position to see it unfortunately :(
-
0-0 at half-time and United have been the better of the two sides in the first half but we're not getting enough of our goal attempts on target. >:(
-
Another draw, 0-0 final score and United booed off the pitch at half-time and full time and deservedly so. That's us down to third place now. >:(
-
Only 3 points ahead of Liverpool too lol
Is Jose bored yet? Can't wait for his implosion, looks like it's already starting ;D
-
It's only a matter of time lol
What I'd REALLY like to see is the board taking a gamble and give the job to either Cantona or Giggsy next. At least we'd see some decent football. :o
-
At least you can have the old injury excuse back now Harv :P
-
Not really, we've had just over half of the injuries we've had over the last three seasons...although I was right about the side luckiest with injuries winning the Premiership. It's City so far this year, Chelsea last year and Leicester the year before that. I can't see City throwing the league away now.
-
So if Huddersfield had zero injuries all season, they would be favourites to win the league? There's a gulf in quality and consistency between city and United, that's the difference - even if city had more injuries, they would still be top, they've been fantastic at times this season with or without their best players.
I'm sure United will still get top 4, people forget how shit arsenal have been this season and spurs always bottle it. However, not even putting up a title challenge is not good enough when you've spent as much as United have the past 2 seasons

Huddersfield with zero injuries would probably end up in the top half of the table. There's always one of the top 3 sides in the injury table getting relegated every season, it's why I predicted that Newcastle would go down this season because they've had injury problems almost as bad as us for the last 3 seasons. This season they've had a bit better luck so we might see them stay up.
United have had an average of 8 players injured EVERY WEEK for the last three seasons and we've now got that average down to 5 I think. And during those last three seasons we won 3 trophies. Any other club with those sort of injuries would end up being mid-table and without a trophy.
-
A decent win for United this evening, 2-0 with both goals being absolute crackers from Martial and Lingard. ;D
-
Oops, arse lost against Bournemouth earlier.
And the red scouse gits are beating Citeh 1-0 at Anfield. I can't see them beating them but arse getting beat makes it a good day whatever happens lol ;D
-
Bloody hell, Citeh lost!!! If we win tomorrow that's the gap down to 12 points and sides have dropped 12 point leads and lost the title a few times. Newcastle, us and arse have all done it.
Big game tomorrow and it's a must-win game! :o
-
Man United haven’t got the consistency in them to close the gap to city, be realistic Harv :P
-
Man United haven’t got the consistency in them to close the gap to city, be realistic Harv :P
Asking Harv to be realistic is like asking Trump to welcome Mexicans.
-
Nobody has the consistency that the Bitters have had so far, but the same can be said in previous seasons when other sides have dropped 12 point leads.
We've still got to win tonight anyway, and that's not a foregone conclusion by any means.
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Jones Shaw
Matic Pogba
Mata Lingard Martial
Lukaku
Great to see Valencia back and Shaw keep his place. Shaw still needs a few more games before he's back to his best so hopefully he'll continue to start during these next few weeks.
-
Valencia puts United a goal up but the stream went tits up so I missed it. I'm sure these players do this on purpose...happens too often for it to be a coincidence lol :o ;D
-
We'll fair play to Stoke, they're making a game of it so far.
-
Mata should have got a booking for that dive ;D ;D ;D
-
Martial makes it 2-0 with a nice strike, great assist from Pogba too. 8)
-
A great finish from Valencia for the first goal, great to have him back! ;D
-
Lukaku makes it 3-0, nice goal too. 8)
-
Oops, just seen that Lukaku handled the ball before he scored. You can't blame the ref for missing that though :-[
-
3-0 final score and that's the gap down to 12 points.
I'll pmsl if Citeh lose the Premiership this season lol ;D
It's a real shame they've got Newcastle next because winning their next game is crucial to stop them having the jitters :'(
-
Had a mate from Burnley around to watch the match so haven't been able to post until now. We beat them 0-1 and they deserved something from that match, they were the better side. :-[
-
Blimey, Maureen has signed a new deal :o
Looks like we'll be parking that bus for a while longer lol :'(
-
Don't be stupid, he doesn't do 3 seasons anywhere. He signed a 4 year contract extension at Chelsea and got himself sacked within 5 months ;D
-
Just seen that Gomes is on the bench. Hope he gets to come on, he's an amazing player.
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Jones Smalling Young
Matic Pogba
Alexis Lingard Martial
Lukaku
Not sure if Alexis will start on the right because those 3 players behind Lukaku can play in any of the 4 positions up front.
Have been watching MUTV and all this talk of a 'perfect January so far' could be tempting fate a bit too much though :o :o :o
-
Our U-23 side got beat by Spurs 1-3 at home the other day too. >:(
Good to see Chong back from his ACL injury though, and Gomes has now been promoted to the U-23s too. Had a solid game as well. We're going to see them both breaking through to the senior side next year I think.
-
Well that was a good start, 1-0 down already lmfao :o ;D ;D ;D
-
Quite an open game so far, no doubt helped by that VERY early goal. Plenty of action in both halves.
Alexis on the left, Martial on the right and Lingard as the number 10.
Shit. 2-0 down now. I told you that MUTV was tempting fate lol :'(
-
Own goal from Jones too. Oh Well, at least one of our players has scored lololol ;D
-
2-0 down at halftime and that's a half that Jones will want to forget. United have had a few good chances though. Spurs trying to contain Alexis is giving Young the opportunity to penetrate on the left but what I'd REALLY like to see is Martial on the left, Alexis in the number 10 position and Lingard on the right.
The game isn't over yet but if we concede a third goal I think it's going to be game over.
-
Spurs controlling the game now after some daft substitutions from Maureen :'(
-
Well that's 3 points thrown away and the Berties with a 15 point lead now. That's the worst I've seen us play for quite some time. Completely outplayed tonight. :'(
-
Oh Well, at least arse and Chelsea got battered too this week, and against worse opposition too so it isn't all bad. :P
-
Worst performance in a decade. Had no problem selling Matic but Bakayoko is complete and utter crap.
We've spunked the best part of £100 million on mediocre midfielders in Bakayoko, Drinkwater and Barkley.How Bakayoko gets in ahead of Ampadu is beyond me.
Once again Chelsea have fucked up after winning the title. 4 fucking times they've done it now. What will happen, the board will roll on and they'll sack the manager who will end up somewhere like PSG or Real, be given money and will do well.
We've gone from shopping in Harrods to buying expensive shit in Lidls.
-
I think Conte will quit before he gets sacked. He certainly isn't a happy bunny and I'm not surprised at all.
The performances of arse and Chelsea are the only thing keeping me going at the moment lol ;D ;D ;D :P
-
Still, I'd rather lose to Bournemouth than Bristol City ;)
Watching any other team has to be better than having to watch your defensive tripe every week... Yeah buy $anch€z they said, he'll make us a really attacking side they said, we'll see a different united side they said... LOL... Spurs absolutely dicked you.. ;D
-
If you're referring to us playing defensive football and 'parking the bus' you may want to consider the fact that we've had 12 games this season in all competitions where we've scored 3 goals or more and we've also scored 4 more Premiership goals than your lot too.
And getting beaten by Spurs isn't anywhere near as bad as getting beat by Bournemouth lol
As for Bristol City, these things happen. It was a Cup upset. We've all had them in the past and we will all have more of them in the future. Chelsea were VERY close to getting knocked out by Norwich too.
-
Team news for United:
De Gea
Valencia Smalling Rojo Shaw
McTominay Matic
Mata Lingard Alexis
Lukaku
Pogba and Jones dropped, no surprise though tbh. McTominay just got a NASTY bang on the head, pure accident, but it looked bloody painful. He's come back on Now, hopefully he'll be fine to carry on.
Wasn't a penalty despite Maureen's protestations. It was a 50/50 ball.
-
Alexis has been getting battered during this first half an hour, no protection from the ref at all. >:(
-
United go 1-0 up at the start of the second half with a Lukaku volley, assist from Mata. 8)
-
Alexis makes it 2-0 with a penalty. Keeper saved his first effort but Alexis slotted home the rebound. ;D
-
2-0 final score and a deserved win for United. I wouldn't want to be Alexis later on, those legs are going to be FULL of bruises :o
-
Apparently after that 90 minutes of football Alexis Sanchez is now the most fouled Premiership footballer. Not sure who was number 1 before today though. I'm REALLY surprised that the Tigers finished with 11 men on the pitch tbh.
And Burnley drew against Citeh earlier too. If we had beat Spurs midweek we'd only be 10 points behind. Bloody typical :'(
-
Think you'll find they said that he drew the most fouls in a premier league game.. 7.. unsurprising with all the rolling around, cheating and diving he does to be honest .. if you need reminding what a cheater he is (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcWY1D3VCgM) - he's worse than Costa + Drogba put together ;)
Hazard is usually number 1 fouled in a season ;)
P.S. Hull are Tigers.. Huddersfield are Terriers

Oops, getting my animals mixed up lol :-[ :-[ :-[
If you saw the whole match this afternoon you would have seen how bad the fouling was. Hazard? Not this season so far. The 7 fouls during this match put him at number one according to MUTV.

Well MUTV are wrong if they said that - according to this article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5350831/Kicking-Alexis-Sanchez-way-stop-him.html) - he's 4th in the list.. quite a way behind the leaders. One record he did break in his home debut.. the amount of time a United player has lost possession of the ball.. ;D ;D See Mkhitaryan get 3 assists at the weekend too.. I'd say that was a better home debut ;)
-
Well another embarrassing defeat for Conte. I think he'll get sacked if Chelsea get beat by the Baggies next week. :o
-
Well Sky Sports sources say that Chelsea are going to stick with Conte but we'll have to wait and see. He's looked VERY pissed off these last few weeks, it wouldn't surprise me if he quits tbh.
If he does go one way or the other he'll be the 6th manager in a row to lose his job after winning the Premiership which is quite a crazy stat. :o
-
4th, still in the champions league and still in the FA Cup.
So apart from being 6 points behind United and having spent considerably less in the last two seasons - we're in the exact same boat... and they've just offered their manager a new contract lol.. quite weird how different clubs view success.. if United are happy with a manager that guided their team to finish 24 points behind the champions last season and 13 points behind first place half-way through this season.. then good for them.
Personally I'm happy with Conte.. he has made some questionable calls and he's probably going to live and die by them in honesty - I dont think many Chelsea fans would want to have seen Costa leave.. and the bust-up with Luiz was never going to do the squad any favours... the absolute shower of shite we have played in the last 2 games is down to the players though.. I've rarely seen our team play that badly - so can only hope its a blip rather than anything else.. if Conte has lost the dressing room though then its only a matter of time before he gets sacked - he definitely won't quit (at worst it will be a "mutual" decision).
-
Yes, you're still in the Champions League...but you've got Barcelona next, can you honestly see Chelsea progressing with the way they've been playing lately?!!? :o
-
Erm... 2012 ring any bells ?
You lost to Bristol City - anything can happen in a cup fixture right ;)
-
Well with these last two performances of yours it's looking like Conte might have lost the dressing room so I wouldn't get your hopes up too high tbh.
-
We drew 1-1 with Fulham in 2012 before beating Barca and going on to win the Champions League..
We have West Brom and Hull, both at home before we play in the Champions League - plenty of time to get the spirits back up and start a run going again - we are the last English team to win the Champions League so we've got more experience than anyone ;)
-
Aw bugger. arse lost again. Normally news like this would make me a happy bunny but if he loses many more this season Wenger will end up getting the push and I think he's doing a fine job and should stay at arse forever lol :P ;D ;D ;D :P
-
Bollocks. United 1-0 down after 64 minutes. We've been pretty poor tbh. Pogba and Lingard have both been piss poor and have just gone off with Carrick and Mata replacing them.
-
Ref that sent Cahill off on the opening day for a lot less, let's Valencia off with a yellow.
-
They should have had a penalty in the first half too. The ref has been awful this afternoon from the point of view of both sides.
Final score 1-0 And 3 points thrown away again.
A toss up between Shelvey and their keeper for MOTM.
-
What's that phrase about glass houses harv? lol, if conte deserves the sack, so does Mourinho
-
The difference Conte and Maureen is that Conte looks like a beaten man going by his last few post-match interviews. If he hasn't lost the dressing room he's not too far off it imo.
-
Well, as you pointed out in another thread, drawing to a team near the bottom of the league is a worse result than losing to a team that is further up the table - and you actually lost to Newcastle...so your logic dictates that result as being far worse than both our losses to Bournemouth and Watford put together ;D
Fact is, we were champions last season - Conte did that... United finished 24 points behind and finished 6th - their second worst final position since 1990.
You are already 16 points behind the leaders this season and definitely no guarantee of a top 4 finish.
£90m for Pogba.. and subbed for Carrick lol ;D
-
Good luck drags and jman!
-
Bollocks. Great goal from Willian puts Chelsea a goal ahead. De Gea should have done much better with that! :'(
-
Is Matic playing for Chelsea again, he keeps passing the ball to them lol :o ;D ;D ;D
-
Lukaku with the equaliser. Nice goal too. Quick short passes in the goal area with Martial feeding Lukaku for the goal.
-
1-1 at half-time and Chelsea were the better side. We need to step our game up in the second half. >:(
-
Lingard puts United 2-1 up. TERRIBLE defending by Chelsea. A cross from Lukaku and Lingard gets a free header. 8)
-
Well that goal has given Chelsea a well needed kick up the arse, they had been playing for a draw since the start of the second half.
-
2-1 final score. Chelsea denied an equaliser for offside which looked onside to me but I'm not complaining. I still can't believe that Conte decided to have his side playing for a draw during that second half. A crazy decision.
-
Well it's been a bit quiet on the Chelsea front again :P 8) :P
-
Another loss for arse this afternoon lmfao :o ;D ;D ;D
That's 10 defeats in the Premiership so far this season. I think it's curtains for Wenger and has been for quite some time this season. Which leaves their board with a problem - which top talent can they afford and which top talent will be happy with having bugger all money to spend?
I don't think winning the Europa League will be enough to save him tbh :-\
-
And another defeat for Chelsea too. That leaves them 5 points away from 4th place. :o

-
Oops! United 1-0 down due to a cruel deflection >:(
-
United losing 1-0 at half-time but the game has been pretty even. Very few chances created for either side and United's passing in particular has let them down.
I can see us losing this if we're not careful, we need to step our game up and start putting more crosses in.
-
United caught napping with a quickly taken free kick and go 2-0 down. :'(
-
Decent header from Smalling gets United a goal back. 2-1.
-
United have been piling on the pressure during these last 10 minutes and Lukaku gets an equaliser. 2-2 with 15 minutes to go. :o
-
Fucking he'll, Matic puts United 2-3 up in the last minute. Palace deserved something from this game. 2-3 final score, a real entertaining match, those last 20 minutes or so we were looking like the old Manchester United. Fast paced attacking football with penetration and decent crosses.
That's us back in 2nd place now 8)
-
Looks like we are going to need a bit help to finish in the top 4 now then.. don't know what Conte was thinking last Sunday, it was the biggest pile of piss I've seen us play for a long while.. and that includes the performances against Watford and Bournemouth
-
Still plenty of games to go yet, the top 4 race is still on for all of the top 5 clubs. arse are fucked though.

-
Great work from Lukaku and Mata sets up Rashford for United's second goal. 2-0 to United. ;D
-
Scousers piling on the pressure in the second half and they could have had 2 penalties. :o
-
A Bailly own goal makes it 2-1. United have been far too defensive in this second half, hopefully that goal is going to light a fire up our bums. >:(
-
Fellaini comes on for Rashford. Crowd not happy but he has a booking so it's a safe substitution.
-
2-1 final score And that's United 5 points clear of Liverpool. Noice 8)

Will Carragher lose his job..? Should do. There's nothing worse than someone spitting on someone else, absolutely fucking disgusting:
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/jamie-carragher-spits-football-fan-12169442
Maybe he's had a fair bit of provocation that's off-camera but that's no excuse for this sort of behaviour imo. Sky should sack him after this.
-
He should of kung-fu kicked her instead.. you can become a legend for that apparently.
-
Spitting is absolutely disgusting. I'm particularly annoyed by people spitting in the street. It's actually illegal to do this but the police are too interested in getting money from traffic offences to take any action.
He's been suspended now and he wants to apologise to the family in person. I hope it doesn't save his job.

Although its disgusting, there's far worse - and the driver doesn't come off too good from this, what a pillock, driving whilst filming - trying to goad a reaction which has obviously been going on a while before the filming started.. hence why the daughter tells him to "stop it"
I hope he keeps his job, he's one of the best pundits Sky Sports have.. unprofessional and shameful and he's deserves to take a punishment - but no reason to sack him. Do football players get their contract terminated for spitting at someone else?
-
I've said on here before that players spitting at other players deserve to get banned for life, including Evans years ago. I'd also love to see players spitting on the ground getting fined too. When I used to play years ago I used to swallow it, no reason why other players can't do the same.
I'd also love to see police officers giving on the spot fines for people spitting in the street too.

Shit. Ray Wilkins is in the hospital in an induced coma after having a heart attack and falling on his head. Hope he recovers, I've always liked the bloke.
-
Lukaku puts United 1-0 up and scores his 100th Premiership goal. United's passing and movement is looking good for once and Swansea are playing REALLY deep, inviting United to attack.
-
Sanchez makes it 2-0, looked offside to me but I'm not complaining lol ;D
-
Herrera and Rashford on for Sanchez and Lingard.
A much more sedate United in this second half and Swansea have got into the game a bit more producing a couple of decent saves from De Gea.
-
Young having a poor game so far. He's the weak link in the United side at the moment.
-
Bollocks. 1-0 down. Poor defending gives Kompany a free header :'(
-
2-0 now. Missed the second goal because my stream went tits up. The next goal is going to be vital.
-
We were looking pretty good for the first 20 minutes but those 2 goals in quick succession has pretty much killed us. Hope they get a roasting at half-time :o
-
2-0 at half-time and if it wasn't for Sterling being shite we'd be 4-0 down.
The game isn't over yet but we need to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and score early in the second half if we've got a hope of stopping them from winning the title today.
-
Great goal from United and Pogba gets one back. Going to put pressure on Citeh now.
-
Another great goal, good vision from Sanchez and a decent header from Pogba to get him his second goal. Pep looks a bit sick lol ;D
-
2-3 now, Smalling makes up for his defensive error for that first goal. Great recovery from United. 20 minutes to go and Citeh need two goals to win the Premiership today.
-
And they're denied a stonewall penalty lol
-
2-3 final score and that was hilarious lmfao ;D ;D ;D
-
Oops, the Baggies have just gone 0-1 up lol :o ;D
Means that City will win the Premiership today if we don't get a goal back. :'(
-
And it finished 0-1 :'(
Oh well, a different result would have only delayed the inevitable I guess and at least they didn't win it last week. :-\
-
7 changes from Maureen against Bournemouth. Jones, Shaw, Damian, Fellaini, Rashford and Martial all started. A decent half from United and they go in 0-1 up at halftime through a nicely built up goal from Smalling. ;D
-
We're riding our luck now. They should have had two penalties so far. :o
-
Another great goal from United, Pogba with a great run through the middle and Lukaku with a cool finish. 8)
-
0-2 final score, Pogba got a well deserved MOTM award.
Next up is Spurs in the FA Cup Semi. 8)
-
Wenger is leaving arse at the end of the season >:(
I think he should stay so that we can see arse relegated next season :'( ;D ;D ;D
Puts the board in a difficult position though. Who can they afford to pay to do a decent job? And what manager will join them knowing their hands are going to be tied with regards to transfer funds? :o
-
Bloody goal line technology lol :'(
Brighton deservedly go 1-0 up. United have been awful tonight. >:(
-
1-0 final score and that was embarrassing :'(
-
Oh shit. Fergie has had a brain haemorrhage :o
He's recovering from brain surgery at the moment apparently, hope they caught it in time for him to make a full recovery.
-
Well I can't quite believe that we still have a chance of top 4 (3rd even) - providing we win our last two games, Liverpool have to win to finish ahead of us of goal difference, and spurs need 4 points from their remaining two.
I can't see either of them slipping up that badly unfortunately, regardless of what happens in the FA Cup final, its been a crap season for us and I think Conte is destined for the scrap pile, champions league or no champions league. I think he's a good tactical manager, but too many bust-ups with key players along with criticizing the transfer policy will not serve him well.. Costa should never have been sold and we'd have been much better up front with him there - you can see already when you have a big guy up top (Giroud) that the team play much better, Morata is great with his head but doesn't have the physical presence we need.
-
West Ham and United go in level at half-time with no goals scored. United have been the best side in that first half and are only going in level thanks to their keeper having a great game and making three good saves.
-
Handbags at dawn from the Hammers lol. Noble should have got a red card there but escaped with a booking.
-
0-0 final score and that's second place sewn up. United should have won the game in the first half tbh, the second half the Hammers improved on their first half performance but I can't remember De Gea making any saves
-
Fucking he'll, what's going on with Spurs? Last I saw they were 1-2 down and now they're 5-4 up :o
United 1-0 up, pretty boring game so far tbh. :(
-
What an utterly spineless gutless performance from Chelsea. Apart from Kante they can all fuck off and take the board with them.
-
It's been pretty obvious for quite some time that Conte has lost the dressing room. Hopefully that's going to prevent you from winning the FA Cup this week! ;D
