    Team news yet? I hope Owen starts.

  2. Fze123 says:

    United team: Foster, Neville, J.Evans, Brown, Fabio; Obertan, Anderson, Rafael, Welbeck; Owen, Macheda. Subs: Amos, O’Shea, De Laet, C.Evans, James, Tosic, King.

    Where’s gibson????

  3. ben says:

    Raf in mid field? I like it.

  4. Jandsdad says:

    finally get to see obertan in 1st team action.
    He looks great on youtube, lol.

  5. rooninho says:

    my guess for starting xi:

    owen, kiko up front , welbeck, obertan on the wings.

    gibson, and ander-son-son-son in the middle.

    fabio, evans, da laet, raphael

    foster

    hopefully we can see eikrem, king, and tosic come on as subs in the second half.

    with mame biram diouf and adem ljalic coming into the squad in january our future prospects look quite bright!

    can’t wait to finally see the highly skilled obertan in a game that counts!

    ooh aah obertan!

  6. rooninho says:

    hadn’t heard the team yet!

    where’s gibson?

  7. Jandsdad says:

    @ ben

    beat me to it, SAF may be pushing forward as he sees de laet as the right back to rafael’s right midfield

  8. ben says:

    Makes sense, doesn’t it?

  9. Jandsdad says:

    my mistake rafael is playing through the middle. Obertan on the right

  10. wazza (Bezi) says:

    why not Eikrem in subs either ?

  11. sanj says:

    Eikrem is back in Norway recovering from injury, I believe.

  12. Jandsdad says:

    1-0 welbeck header from an anderson corner

  13. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    the away support is unreal
    heres a welbeck chant

  14. dv-ant says:

    quality ball from ando that almost gave welbeck his second

  15. jessetto says:

    ando gonna score a peach tonite

  16. dv-ant says:

    fukin hell! wats with all the back passsing
    foster in danger of havin another clanger of he aint careful

  17. dv-ant says:

    almost from obertan

  18. TonyBee says:

    Watch the set pieces boys and Nev get stuck in to that winger show him who’s boss

  19. dv-ant says:

    need to defend them corners better

  20. TonyBee says:

    is it me or is Wellbeck hogging the ball too much ….. needs to keep his eyes on who is around instead of trying to do too much himslf…. going off him fast

  21. dv-ant says:

    bloody hell that obertan lads quick

  22. Jandsdad says:

    obertan getting more of the ball now that he’s moved onto the left wing

  23. rooninho says:

    pretty poor movement in the final 3rd so far, especially in the box. owen typically is getting in the right spaces, but everyone else is being too greedy, or standing around waiting for the ball to come to them.

  24. Jandsdad says:

    welbeck tracking back well also

  25. Xyth says:

    Obertan looks like a decent player. Will his rise spell an end for Nani?

  26. Drew Vader says:

    I was hoping to see a revelation from Rafael in the center of midfield…. But on second thought, lets keep him at right back…

  27. rooninho says:

    probably should be 1-1. lucky to be leading. come on united!!!

  28. rooninho says:

    obertan looks decent thus far, and what great pace he has. hope he sees more of the ball in the 2nd half. he’s getting fouled right before he tries to skip by his markers. like to see him go at defenders more so we can see some of his tricks.

  29. dv-ant says:

    owen shud hav scored there

  30. dv-ant says:

    great ball from ando to tosic

  31. bigshowfardy says:

    what a goal owen… great run and tucked it into the corner

  32. rooninho says:

    owen!!!!!!!! go on my son!!!!

  33. dv-ant says:

    brilliant from owen
    2-0

  34. TonyBee says:

    Thats why SAF signed him …. made it look fucking simple…..

  35. dv-ant says:

    luv the way he danced through the defence

  36. bigshowfardy says:

    off?? wtf he went for the ball sure the leg was high but twas a great tackle

  37. thereddevil says:

    fuck! what the hell neville

  38. dv-ant says:

    straight red for red-nev
    oh dear!

  39. stretfordendole says:

    Nev, got the ball, not sure he meant it, but the way ref’s are treating us at the moment you just knew it would be red.

    2 great goals, now keep it tight and hit these tyke twats on the break.

  40. mikekelly12 says:

    I know we’re a man light but we’re defending like muppets!

  41. rooninho says:

    does foster seem confused out there or what?

  42. TonyBee says:

    Brown and Evans are being bossed around by some 2nd rate strikers what the fuck is going on …. Jesus get some steel in the defence for fucks sake boys

  43. mikekelly12 says:

    We’re lucky they’re shit!

  44. dv-ant says:

    how many chances to these guys need

  45. TonyBee says:

    that Bognadovich, or what the fuck the cunts is called, is a nasty snide fucker aint he …he has had a couple of sly digs at Fabio leaving the boot in

  46. mikekelly12 says:

    Great save Foster!

  47. TonyBee says:

    Bout time Foster earnt his corn ….

  48. TonyBee says:

    good save though

  49. dv-ant says:

    good save foster

  50. stretfordendole says:

    great save Ben!

    Does anyone else think Wes is worried about picking up more injuries? there has been a few occasions when the Wes of a couple of years ago would have gone in for a hard tackle but he seems to be a bit tentative today.

  51. Jandsdad says:

    anderson should have done better
    hamill is a nasty wee shit

  52. TonyBee says:

    fucking crap game against a crap team

  53. mikekelly12 says:

    Job done! Glad Owen got on the score sheet, was a neat finish!

  54. Jandsdad says:

    United away support excellent tonight.
    Couple of morons got onto the pitch and put the ball that was about to be taken by foster for a goal kick into the net.
    Shout from the crowd “fergie fergie sign him up”

  55. TonyBee says:

    whole Barnsley team were nasty pieces of work…. our first team would have destroyed them cunts…. as it was, our second team did the biz, although Nev should have kept his foot down a tad and took his fucking ankle instead of under the pricks knee….

  56. TonyBee says:

    Funny how all the Referees seem to want to be in the papers next day after doing one of our games….seems they like to issue us with cards and such like and let our players be kicked and pushed to fuck with no cards ( or not many)
    offered against the opposition

  57. Costas says:

    Happy with the win. That’s 4 red cards already this season. We will break last season’s record at this pace…

  58. Park's Lab says:

    hahahaha! The fascists are losing 3-0! mwahaha… ha!

    ps Scott, your need to turn your clock back. My life is all out of kilter!

  59. Stand up for the Red Army says:

    The away support of the Red Army is fantastic in cup games like these, simply stunning, love it.

  60. Gaffer says:

    As Scott just wrote about Nevs foolish behavior, the tackle made the point clear – if anybody didnt get it sunday. Glad to see Ben did well, and to me man of the match Ando

  61. denton davey says:

    Obertan is very reminiscent of Djibril Cisse – long legs, very fast, and runs like a stallion. Let’s hope that he’s a better footballer – and a better person !

    Foster’s save was terrific but he still didn’t impress with regard to the issues that have been identified – commanding the area,communicating with his defenders, and distributing the ball.

    I also thought that Macheda did nought – squat. Does this kid have a case of “big league head” ?
