anyone have good streams?
mate i always use http://www.rojadirecta.org. its pretty reliable
starting XI?
Pleased to see Bebe get a start. Hopefully if bag a few goals, Morrison might get a look in.
Rumor has it that the Daily Mirros have their own Bebe camera at OT. They don’t give a crap about the rest of the game.
@wathall
Thank you much!
hey can one of you name the line up? can’t find it anywhere
Great free Live streams: http://bit.ly/manchester-united-live
@ ryan7
I was on here one day and one of the guys recommended I download sopcast. i haven’t regretted it for a moment since. every United game, good to great quality (even on full screen) and it rarely ever skips out. you donwload it and then you can find a channel on myp2p.eu and its perfect, just another option for you
Agreed about sopcast. It’s very good especially if you have a fast connection.
Costas – They don’t need the bebe camera. They already went to a fortuneteller who said he’ll play like a peace of crap.
PS: That fortuneteller was Pierce Moron.
@loughie 21, what the fuck are you doing on ROM, get the fuck out of here. lmao
evening mate.
@Zelh
Yeah, because they have been watching him since he was born. Meant to say the Daily Mail of course…
love sopcast hate murdoch
@xol aye you are spot on! lol
@redscot
same thing you are mate! looking forward to a great match and a bebe hattrick!
It was a fucking hit
The mob had gotten wind that the octopus had clearly identified that Don Ferguson was the enemy of our enemies and so the Don had to be protected
Now that Roonito had been just made the consigliere of Gazini Nevino and Paulo Scholesino were sent to fucking send a message to everyone that no one will fuck with the family.
Man Utd
* 40 Amos
* 06 Brown
* 12 Smalling
* 20 Fabio Da Silva
* 23 Evans
* 13 Park Ji-Sung
* 16 Carrick
* 28 Gibson
* 26 Obertan
* 27 Macheda
* 33 Tiago Bebe
Substitutes
* 29 Kuszczak,
* 02 Neville,
* 21 Rafael Da Silva,
* 42 Eikrem,
* 14 Hernandez,
* 37 Brady,
* 49 Morrison
Absolutely love that line-up, hopefully Morrison, Eikrem and Brady get off the bench, Obertan needs a proper run out, as him and Bebe could be doing it for years to come.
I have sopcast but can’t find the stream. Is it up yet?
@The Promised land , one of the funniest best written, no holds barred blog on the net. Wish full thinking mate regards a Bebe hatrick. i am going for a Wolves win, to piss of my dear new mate Dave Mack. lol
Cmon united biggest dissapointment for me is Mick McCARTHY wont get a 25 grand fine. lol
Don’t even mention that Piers F*c*ing Morgan! He gives journalist a bad name. What kind of journalist starts his article with “ha ha ha ha ha ha” (even longer that that).
He doesn’t know the word “shame” nor he can feel it. He’s skin is as thick as rhinosour.
@ryan7 at the moment I am on 82153, it usually works but hasn’t started just yet, i’ll try a few more and hopefully if someone finds one they’ll put it up
@redscot, bebe is starting so hopefully a goal to shut all the c***s in the media up
Did you go to myp2p? There’s probably some streams on already…
Hopefully we will put the tie to bed before 60 minutes then we might get to see eikrem, morrison and brady or atleast one of them.
Could have started with rafael but then Brown also needs some playing time.
@ Loughie i know exactly what you mean, its just fucking jealousy that united can spot potential.
Cmon Bebe, what was that chant again again something to do with Cat Stevens,
This game has OBERTAN and BEBE written all over it….
It’s their chance to prove themselves….
The same goes to MACHEDA, who sadly hasn’t impress me at all since West Ham.
Bebe up front?
oof
@ loughie21
Thanks buddy. I haven’t missed a game in about 2 years now and I’m not about to.
Glory Glory United, and the Reds go marching on on on
I want my Bebe Bebe Bebe on the pitch. I want my Bebe Bebe Bebe on the pitch. I want my Bebe Bebe Bebe on the pitch! Bebe scoring some goals! (To the tune of I want my baby back ribs)
What do you think the formation is going to be like?
I say 4-3-3:
————————Amos—————————–
Brown —-Smalling—-Evans——-F. Da Silva
———————–Carrick————————–
——-Park Ji-Sung———Gibson—————
Obertan———————————–Bebe——
———————-Macheda————————-
@redscot cheers
Sounds like Wolves aren’t bothered about this cup. Come on lads,6-0, Owen 4 goals.
@Ryan7 sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/82153 seems to work
@xol cheers to mate have a wee drink, make sure you have your Green and Gold scarf on and enjoy the game. its a united win for me all night.
Owen four goals, is this in the last 20 minutes lol
Cheers mate enjoy.
Cmon United.
@ryan7
82153 has begun to work, great quality, match has kicked off. now to enjoy it!
Time to see what’s made of obertan, he looks ready for the big time so hope he impacts the game, he certainly won’t get bullied as he has being pumping the weights, same with bebe who seems a scapegoat to some fans who think we should shell out billions on overrated players, come on BEBE lol.
so many empty seats, thats a real disappointment. i’d love to be there
@ loughie i agree there are a lot of empty seats mate, its the Glazer effect.Wiping doon ma windows.
I just imagine i am there a nice bit of weed does that and a stiff Whisky.
Cmon united.
@RedScot
Damn right. We got the best away fans in the league. But the Glazer effect has hurt our home support.
@ united 4 eva, agreed i wrote that earlier on my second favourite United blog, United rant, the best away supporters in the premiership.
And those cunts are fucking up your and my club.
Cmon united
looks to me as bebe doesn’t strike the ball very clean
@ injury time, is this in general or one occasion?
@RedScot
All we can do is hope that the Glazers put all their eggs into one basket sell their other businesses and put everything into a gamble that a healthy United will make them the best profit when they sell or that they just accept the profit they thought was in football aint there and reduce their asking price so we can just get some good owners.
jaysus Carrick needs to start finding those killer passes again forward or its goot night Micheal
Soz****Goot = Good, not that this a blog on Shakespearing ettiket
@ united 4eva.
I like that thinking mate, you mean sell their crumbling malls in the states, their failing Tampa bay bucs team.
I get your wave length. truely do.
Cmon united
Remember how good Carrick used to be?
i wonder what is happening with the goal keeping situation here, Amos is great, what can the PIG be thinking, there is forward thinking going on here.
@fred…. those were the days ….sigh….
anyone see the judas poster?
was it aimed at rooney?
what the fuck is going on with Ebanks Bukkake…silly fucker keeps falling over….
@ tony bee, who the fuck are you “those were the days my friend” Mary hopkins? lmao
yeah we have the Glazer in year 2010
I can sense a screamer from Bebe coming up. YHIHF.
I can see a cup of warm brew and half a fucking orange and a stalemate
I thought that was gonna be it then! So close…
Hmmm……very disappointing first half….if this is our future, we are in trouble.
Darren Ferguson in the Sky studio yawning!
‘Redscot …those were the days when Carrick my friend tra-lalalal -lalala ….WAS a footballer….. whom had something to prove when he was trying to get in the side….now he is in he don’t want to try no more. And who the fuck are the Glaziers…..they Yankee window specialists….. ????
the ridicule will start, the boys are still in the tie, dont start singing till the fat lady says I have had enough.
no poke at any one in particular. lol
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@RedScot
Don’t know really but he doesn’t seem to “put it where he wants it”
bebe look like a monster tearing up the right wing…improve his crossing a bit he can be as good as valencia…
that referee is a fat fucker aint he…….
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz is right.
hiya Costas….heard any good gags lately
@Tony Bee its just me bantering and having fun as if we were at the match.i fully know carrick is a ghost of himself.
I wont comment further tonight on the window lickers(gimps), its boring i know during a game
Cmon now lads. Got to step up a gear and put this game to bed.
Just read an article saying that fergie in his programme notes mentioned about drawing a line under the Rooney thing. He’s realised how big we are and has apologised to the gaff and the team. Are we to expect an apology? I know this is for tonights match but I feel it’s valid if it’s in the programme notes. My anger and disappointment is yet to relent. SELL SELL SELL!!!
Redscot me old mate dont mind me…..just taking the piss in my ol way…. enjoy the Craic does I…!!
@ injury time well the broadcasters I listem to say he and Chris Smalling have been the shining lights along with Obertan. And I agree wholeheartedly
@ryan 7
use this link to find sopcast connections:
http://www.myp2p.eu/competition.php?competitionid=&part=sports&discipline=football
@ injury time, not another one that takes the piss” he puts it any where” lol
Let it rest regards wayne eh. me for one am fucking sick and tired of it
I hope The Little Pea is brought on now. Don’t especially care who for, take your pick (as long as it’s not Bebe, there’s something about that lad.)
This game is all set up for Chicharito to come on and crack the winner in isn’t it?
Let’s see young morrison! He’ll tear em all to pieces!
~@ fred and united 4 eva, then we can sit and have a wank, at our new found “humble ” star*** Javier
Bebe’s just a bit nervous on his first start, at Old Trafford no less. He’s gonna do something special in this second half, I can feel it…
@RedScot – I’m not getting my cock out just yet, pal. Thanks for the offer though.
@ Fred I am nervous too, buts thats just called the early stages of parkinsons.
Cmon united
Shit his pants?that’s special
Latest “mystic” prediction in tribute to the late great Paul the Octopus: Park & Obertan are getting the old heave-ho on the hour mark.
Nice try kiko, just not set right
@Devil310 – we’re in trouble? Why because they haven’t scored 50goals like you dreamt of? You do realise wolves are solid premier league outfit? Get real buddy and give them young players a chance, its all potential we are working on and it requires patience.
Good effort from Kiko Mac.
@ Fred what offer you must stay off those illucinatory mixtures you digest! lol
three lungs should habe buried that
Cmon United
Shite free kick from Gibbo. I suppose I should be impressed that it was on target at least after some of the shooting we’ve seen tonight.
Park should have buried that. Shocking.
Obertan is a Gazelle, made bye him, we HAVE a goal from Bebe, fantastic.
BEBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take it all back
Glory Glory Man united
and Bebe scores
What did I tell you???? He meant that too!
Be my, be my Bebe!
Bebe!!!!!!!!!!!! This game has come alive……
cum on Bebe light my fire*singing*
Bollocks.
The draw nightmare strikes yet again. Unchallenged. ffs this needs sorted to close out a game. its a coaching problem.
Cmon united
Probably saw that coming…
Amos looked like a little girl trying to get to that ball….”excuse me, please”
Well wolves have equalised.Now there is fire in the game, nice to see bebe get off the mark though, will push the doubters away for a bit.
cmon United!!!!!!
Sit the fuck down Macarthy you bignosed cunt…your team are fucking shite…..
WTF is brown doing. fucking about at the back
Welcome to top level football amos, won’t crack it at the top level if he keeps squealing like a little girl, what was he doing? Brown should take a blame for that too, meant to be the experienced one.
I am sure sir alex is testing these lads metal and see if the can “step up to the plate”.
easier said that done.
cmon united
Tonybee – i nearly choked on my cuppa reading your comment.
Is Obertan playing?
@ Devil 310, yes if you put on your night glasses on and take your head out your @ss
Don’t worry Bebe, everything will turn out alright.
Smalling looked a bit dodgy in his first few outings but he’s been class tonight. Fair play to the lad.
Amos’s distribution is a bit crap.
Parky does the business. He needed that, the way he’s been playing this season.
@ samuel i nearly choke on most lads comments on here but thats a seperate matter.
3 lungs I fancy a chinkie carry out tonite, fly flied lice and some mushrooms, and a rillle loast ram
@RedScot
Was being sarcastic, just in case you didnt get that.
He went missing for 15mins…that’s all
macheda first touch is awful needs to learn from chicharito
Three lung park!!! – nice goal, he is not a winger, when will sir alex stop playing him there.
I hope one or two of the young guns get some minutes now… as I type this Gary Neville comes on! FFS
@ DEVIL 310, of course I get it mate, i play the game its just fun and banter.
We are all united supporters after all or why here
Shit Shit double whammy, gibbo come on mate, eyes. fucked bye a Scot, my team
Oh FFS
Gibbo you tit.
fuckin substitution….fabio shud hav bn thr……PERiOD
Bebe’s fluke goal…
http://www.manutd24.com/united-players/video-bebe-scores-first-goal-for-manutd-from-obertan-assist-manutd-1-0-wolves/
Cmon United
good job gibson.
Robbie Savage on 5-live sounds like he’s on coke. Wish I could get these whacky non-Murdoch stations you guys watch on.
Ben Amos a long way from even being considered a man utd keeper
Fuck me sideways….. what the fuck ,is going on here….come on SAF get some steel in the midfield…
Alright boys….lets stop giving the ball away, and put this to bed.
Carrick has improved 2nd half….sad to see Da Silva being subbed. Look like he was about to cry :*(
Good effort from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake. Always nice to see products of our academy doing well for themselves, even if it is against us.
Yesssssssssssssssss Fucking great our new star Javier sort this buggers muddle out.
Its written in the stars for me.
Gibson and Carrick are not cutting it and Bebe looks knackererd
fUCK how fast was obertan there like streak fucking fast
what is SAF really up to, wat point has neville to prove, wat kind of sub is dat wen talented kids need a run to prove themselves???… really frustrating!…
Ohh you fucker Gabriel close but look up mate, and see your mates in a better postion
What a pass from Chicharito to put Obertan through. The young Frenchman should have done so much better with it.
Doyle is danger watch out lads
Hippo gibbo won’t make it here i can assure you, enough excuses for this boy an elephant is more mobile than the irish man , he is diabolical.
quote; SHUT THE FUCK UP MACARTHY you are a shit manager from a shit team you aint never been any fucking good; unquote Roy Keane….
That Mexican is all over the place…
@Legolas – sir alex is getting sentimental mate, thought carling cup was for the youth, approaching extra time now.
Love the way Hernandez is already one of our “go to” players. I knew the kid was talented but this is amazing.
U n I t e d , united are the team 4 me
I told you SOOOOOOOOOO…….. lmao
We have a new hero
WAYNE WHOOOOOOOO????????
CHICHARIIIIIIITTTOOOOOO!
pppppppppppeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!
CHICHARITOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
chichhaaaaariiiiiitoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
the little pea strikes again
fucking brilliant !!!!!!!!
Chicarito fucked wolves dead
Chicharito Hernandez. What a fucking player. £6m FFS!
Ravel!
Little! I suggest BIG PEA
But it doen’t translate as well.
Well done Chicharito!
On United!
**** Claps lets see you play**** welcome to united Ravel.
Sir Alex must think the game is deid
So… uh who’s that new striker we’re going to get in the window….
VIVA CHICHARO, VIVA CHICHARO, VIVA CHICHARO
GIVE THE LAD THE BALL AND HE’LL SCORE A GOAL
VIVA CHICHARO….!
Glory glory glory MAN United glory glory glory and the Reds go marching on on on on
Who is Wayne Rooney. It’s Chico time!!!! Viva Hernandez!!!
During watching the Wolves game and us lose the lead twice in the game it got me thinking how many times we’ve lost the lead this season:
Chelsea (3-1)
Newcastle (3-0)
Fulham (2-2) Lost lead twice
West Ham (3-0)
Everton (3-3) Lost lead once
Rangers (0-0)
Liverpool (3-2) Lost lead once
Scunthorpe (5-2)
Bolton (2-2)
Valencia (1-0)
Sunderland (0-0)
West Brom (2-2) Lost lead once
Bursaspor (1-0)
Stoke City (2-1) Lost lead once
Wolves (3-2) Lost lead twice
That’s 8 times we’ve been in front and lost our lead, twice in the same game at Fulham and home to Wolves. On three occasions we have been two goals up only to allow the opposition to equalise (Liverpool we went on to regain our lead and win of course).
A worrying stat I’m sure you’ll agree.
chico!!!!!!!!!!!!!you fucking beauty…
Chicharitooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! You beauty!!!!
http://www.manutd24.com/united-players/video-javier-chicharito-hernandez-scores-injury-time-winner-manutd-3-2-wolves/
go somewhere else MR AMBITION and f*** yourself….
ambition my a**…go on and made MR AMBITION look even dumber MR CHICO………..wooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
We are through but it’s shocking how eaily this team keeps pissing away leads.
VIVA CHICHARO, VIVA CHICHARO, VIVA CHICHARO
GIVE THE LAD THE BALL AND HE’LL SCORE A GOAL
VIVA CHICHARO…!
He scores here, he scores there his name is little javier!!!!!
@bchilds
Was just looking for that stat. Ridiculous.
the defending was poor..gotta improve..but we made it to the next round..that’s all that matters..
chicharito needs a pay rise
what a class goal by chicharito. how cool was that? even rooney couldn’t finish like that – that move was a mix of the best of rooney and berba…. hats off
Shocking defending again, but a good game nevertheless. Good performances from Obertan, Bebe, Fabio and, of course, Chicharito. I was hoping to get a better look at Ravel Morrison. Poor lad barely got a touch of the ball.
@Costas
Awful isn’t it, we’ve got to keep the back door shut!
BChilds – it’s a worry alright but for the moment let’s just enjoy another late winning goal by Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez. What a beauty it was too!
Bebe’s celebration FFS.
@bchilds
It all starts with the midfield. Teams are going through it like knife through butter. It’s a good thing that our lucky charm struck tonight. Not talking about Chicha, but my horrible internet connection. I lost it twice and we scored both times.
obertan needs to improve on his final ball..there were times when he delayed his pass..he’s got everything else but needs to be improve on that aspect..and a great performance from bebe..loved his celebration after he scored..is still not match fit but he will get there..BUT SHOCKING DEFENDING!!!!!!!
chicaritooooooooo!!!!!!!!
defense is really wanting to give me a heart attack this year!
Get it sorted lads!!!!!
Glad to see maybe Carricks coming a bit around to his old self.
looking forward to this weekend
@bchilds
That a horrible statistic, i thought Wes Brown was mucking up at the back big time, him along with evans didn’t do their jobs properly. But on the plus side, Bebe,Obertan,Fabio,Park and Hernandez looked really good. Sadly can’t say the same for the midfield pairing of Gibson and Carrick, although to be fair he did provide the assist for the last goal, that said he was messing about in our half and got robbed of the ball resulting in the second goal
midfield defensively was absolutely shocking.. without fletch there is no tackling in there… imagine if we had hargreaves.. we would win the treble.. SIGN A FUCKING DM
and wtf is with bringing neville on? brown was getting ripped by jarvis.. so he brings on neville? who got ripped by jarvis aswell? so glad mark jarvis went off… or we would have lost
obertan looked good.. very positive.. runs at players, has skills and is willing to use it… needs to work on his touch and passing to a degree… maybe just shaky as its his first start this season.. bebe looked good but very very raw.. alot of work needs to be done there.. but he does get lots of power into his crosses and shots but long long way away from the first team..
brown and evans… shocking at times.. evans really needs to hit the gym.. but what can i say about chris smalling.. fucking monster of a defender… was absolutely solid tonight and in his previous games.. he should be ahead of brown and evans in the defensive order… great prospect…
amos needs alot of work but has got potential
and here it is…….. FUCKING MY MAN CHICOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WHAT A PLAYER… EVERY TOUCH OOZED OF CLASS!! IT WAS AS IF HE WAS RYAN GIGGS WHEN HE CAME ON. EVERYONE LOOKED TOWARDS HIM FOR GUIDANCE AND HE CAME UP WITH THE GOODS.. GREAT COMPOSURE.. GREAT FINISH.. WOT A PLAYER.. WOT A STAR
United4eva, good on ya lad.
Viva Chicharo!
That’s the way to sing it!
Well 1st game I’ve missed attending cos I opred out of the carling cup auto scheme on my ST and you know what I don’t regret it, used to feel guilty if I couldn’t make a game.
Anyway we looked ok tonight but Wolves!!! Mick M what a prick, I had to to turn the telly over just in case I caught his post match interview, does this man ever say anything worth listening too.
p.s why is nobody mentioning what obertan did for the first goal?? great run.. ran past 2 defenders.. surrounded by 2 more and kept the ball close to his feet then looked up and played the ball into bebe… i thought that was first class.. like my name states… obertan will be the new star
but the star right now is chicharitoooooooo!!
Crap first half, not much better second half, but we’re through at least, thanks to the little pea.
SAF please sort out the midfield..I just can’t see my beloved Utd getting clobbered by wolves of all teams..
christ some of you lads need to stop playing championship manager in my opinion and just enjoy a great fucking result from a young and growing team.
if you note( read) my post @ 21.38. Thats being called a supporter with crystal balls. lmao
night Reds, glory glory man united and the reds go marching on on.
Believe to remove the Gimps from our fabulous club
way to go bebe park and chicho! wahoo!
OMFG, manutd.com don’t have a clue about fan perception sometimes:
http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_36937_4852.jpg
For the rest of the season, SAF will be using Chico to teach us all a lesson about the phrase “value for money”.
I thought Carrick had a decent game, it can’t be easy playing next to Gibson who lacks experience. Carrick just did what he does, starting our attacks and trying to keep controll of the game, he played some passes through from adavanced positions and for all our goals he picked that foward ball which gets us on the front foot.
@FletchTheMan
Absolutely mate. No need for Viva Ronaldo anymore. At last we got a song to replace it. At last we got a hero to replace him.
Viva Chicharo!
That dummy was a thing of beauty took the defender completley out of the game. Amazing. One chance, goal. Beautiful!
hernndez = natural deadly finisher, they are hard and rare to find but we have that now and he is not just not scoring any goals, they’re match winners, he’ll be fantastic at this club, he is a big game player too so watch out arsenal, spurs,city, chelsea e.t.c, chicharito will slay you all (hopefully) ha.
Well twenty or twenty one games unbeaten now. Why are people moaning. This was our fourth team and we are thru to quarters. Hernqandez is summat else this kid has potential to go right to the top. He pops up everywhere. Unbelievable touch and movement. Impossible to mark and what a finisher. The most exciting talent since ron. He wants the ball and makes thing happen. A fucking star. Macheda again was poor. Needs to pull his finger out but still young. Smalling a right prospect. Aside from gibbo giving the ball away and didn’t think him or carrick put a foot wrong. Bebe showed great signs as well. A decent second half and still unbeaten.
@utd4life
It has become wishful thinking. We keep saying the same about our midfield game after game. Don’t know what else we can do anymore.
@ bchilds
Come on cut them some slack, thats the official site. you can’t expect them to go all fire and brimstone now can you
Goodbye Wayne….Welcome Javier.
@slim
No I don’t expect them to be like that but not ass licking either!
I always say that the boss lost it lately. Taking off Fabio and inserting Neville was sheer madness. Sticking with Kiko for 90 minutes…. another lunacy.
really wanted to see eikrem and morrison play..hopefully they will get their chance in the next match..
@Costas
the tackling was missing from the defence… gibson looked rubbish.. there is no hustling or fight for the ball… it was really poor.. this is where we really miss hargreaves.. fletch does this job and has been for a while but its been catching up with him… p.s where was anderson?? looks like his united career is over.. he looked pretty pissed after coming off against bursaspor and walked straight down the tunnel.. could be a injury though?? do you know or anyone know whats happening?
@obertanthenewstar
I’m sure Ando came off and walked down the tunnel because of an injury
First half was boring. Second half was very lively. Bebe was pretty decent so was Obertan and Chichi just keeps on impressing me. A little tightening up at the back is required tho since we’ve been losing leads quite often this season. Well done lads!
@King Eric Spot on my man. Look to the positives. I want to look at all the goals really.
You might say Bebe’s was a bit of luck, but Obertan really battled to make the lay off pass and then Bebe was being proper mugged the entire run into the box. He deserved the goal for all the work. Wasn’t a pace off the entire game. Chicharo was a step up in class when he hit the pitch. Not fair at all to compare him with the Kiko or Obertan, This guy has been the main man and it really shows. Hope the others continue to get chances as they can be there as well. Also, for those slagging Carrick, think it was himself that put that final ball through to Chicharo, didn’t need to break stride. Bit of a deflection, but money in the bank. Personally glad to see all the youngsters getting bits of game. Just enough class put on by the manager in the end. Nicely done, On On United.
@jesmonta
Jarvis was killing Fabio towards the end so Jonny was stuck out there to help cope with the threat coming down their right flank so I don’t disagree with that change plus Kiko needs minutes so again I don’t see any problem giving him the 90
@obertanthenewstar
Ando’s must have been an injury, but there hasn’t been any update on it. I hope it’s not anything long term because he was just starting to regain some sort of form.
The problem is that we can’t keep expecting Fletcher to bail us out in these situations. We shouldn’t need him in games like this. Last season, we comfortably beat Wolves 1-0 at OT with a similar line up. And we were down to 10. The CMs were Carrick and Gibson. It’s worrying when you consider how things have changed in a year.
Costas – Correctly, but what’s the problem, if it was Gibson and Carrick last year too.
Also, Fletcher hasn’t been all that great this season has he? WE really need some serious reinforcements in mindfield. Honestly, if that happens, I think all our defensive worries will disappear as well.
What a great result for my B’day
and Bebe, what’s with the dance? 
@Zelh
They weren’t as commanding today as they were in that game. Ok Wolves weren’t exactly the same a year ago either, but I thought that this was the kind of game you can expect Carrick and Gibson to stay free of any trouble.
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2010/10/united-3-wolves-2-cult-status.html
Attendance: 46,083
thats almost as bad as Obertan played
Costas – Carrick had a good game tonight. He played great balls like he used to do earlier and tried his best defensivly. Imo Gibson was really poor tonight even if he assisted Hernandez’ goal.
@bchilds
Fabio needs minutes as well. Kiko is performing below standard, J.Evans is afraid of tackling and defending lately. Neville has passed his golden days long time ago. Considering Bebe is coming from an orphanage with no facilities,good athletic preparation and background, played a very good game today. Fabio`s substitution cost us a goal since the boss had to move all defenders except smalling form their positions to accomodate granddad Neville.Apart from the fact that he gave the ball away in the build up to their second goal. Amos needs a lot of goalkeeping practice as well.
Yes lots of positives with a number of the kids getting outings they needed and I was pleased to see improved performances from Carrik and Park.
FletchTHEman is right about Chico being in a different league. Hard to believe he isn’t going to be a world class star. Obertan reminded me of Nani a couple of seasons ago. Great pace and skill but not always making the right decisions. Bebe looked a bit tight but worked hard and every game gives him another layer of confidence to build.
Hate to say but the dissapointments for me are Macheda and Gibson. Not sure the former is going to make it and convinced the latter isn’t. (Gibson’s lack of pace in getting back caught us on several occasins and resulted in their second goal.)
Great result though. Happy days.
@Zelh
Yep, that I can agree with. He looked better going forward and his pass for Chicha was Carrick of old. Good to see Park redeem himself for his miss too.
I am worried about the defensive work of our midfield because Saturday’s game is a tough one. Spurs want to make up for their awful record at OT and they will fancy taking the game to us. I don’t think it’s a game we can afford to open up in hope of winning 3-2…
Not surprised about the attendance, hard times folks.
anyone got the goals?
Forgot about Bebe, not a bad performance for a guy who has no touch, terrible celebration though lol.
Costas – Lets wait and see. I think this team is growing with his opponents. Against Spurs will be a totally different game.
Positives tonight – hernandez , bebe, obertan, park , smalling
disappointments – macheda, evans, amos, the fact we only got to see 30 seconds of ravel morrison.
in my opinion anyways!
Regarding Bebe’s celebration, he was dancing ( or trying to dance) Windeck. hahahaha Me and my brother laughed so much .

Chicharito has really settled down now. Quicker than I thought he would. He is breating down Berba’s neck now with 6 goals. And he has scored them in 4 different competitions too. At this rate, he will force Rooney and Berba to fight it out for a place in the side!
@Zelh
Hope so. 100% focus required from everyone for that one.
King Eric makes a good point about this unbeaten run of games now approaching 20 or so. Despite the disapointing draws not losing helps build belief.
Huge performance needed on Saturday against the spuds.
How much do you think he is worth now? I’d say since his World Cup showing and early season glimpses, £7 million was a bargain…he’d be worth £15 million now easy…Hopefully we can
match his ambitions and he’ll be here for a very long time
@Rai
Don’t say the a word. I am scarred for life.
40 million?
@ Costas
it’s hard not to get carried away with this kid, even for the most cynical of supporters like me!! He’s the best natural finisher we’ve had since Ole….and he’s scoring important goals at important times…
Fegie deciding to sign him before the WC probably halved his price. Spurs talk about Van der Vart as the bargin signing of the season. I think we’ll give them a good run for their money with Chicharito!
He reminds me more of RVN, fox in the box.
@ Dave Mack
I’ve moaned previously that we should have got VDV in the summer, but realistically we can’t get every bargain out there so if I had to choose one….I’d take Hernandez everytime. Fergie and his scouts did well
And what’s Amos worth Two balloons ans a birler,if you know what a birler is.
@Rai
Yeah, I agree. I meant the word “ambitions”. I can’t listen to it anymore, lol. I don’t have to add anything else about little pea. Speaking of Ole, we could see Chicha used as a super sub too. His pace, especially late in a game, can kill the opposition.
Agree Willie … Ruud , Ole comparisons. Really think he’s only going to get better and better as his confidence grows with every winner he scores.
@ Parryheid – a birler??? I’m gonna have to google that one mate!!
@ Costas, agreed about utilising his pace he’ll tear teams apart if they’re tired…but if our midfielders get a good understanding with him he’s got enough pace to punish teams for 90 mins!! I think Owen is going to struggle to get a look in…
Thank God for Hernandez, eh. We may be unbeaten in 20/21 games or whatever, but squandering leads has officialy become a HABIT. Teams now know they can get at us after they have levelled the score – Wolves very nearly scored 2 after they made it 2-2. This worries me greatly. The fact that we conceded twice after leading meant that Eikrem, Brady and Morrison didn’t get any playing time. FFS.
On the positive side. I was impressed by Bebe’s performance today. I wish I could say the same for his celebration.. but he worked hard and created some good chances. Shooting needs working on though. Obertan I thought started excellently but then he was hit and miss really. Final ball and composure was pretty terrible. His selfishness at the end pissed me off a bit. But he made some very nice runs nontheless.. Macheda = disappointing. Gibson was good until his error. Smalling continues to impress. Some strange subs made by both managers today, with McCarthy taking off Jarvis who gave Wes a torrid time, Fergie taking off Fabio who I thought was the only defender playing well. I also thought Fergie should have brought on Hernandez much earlier for Macheda, who was nonexistent tbh. Hernandez, what a bargain. In the 10/15 minutes he was on the pitch he looked a class above our other youngsters on the pitch. Wonderful talent, great attitude.
King Eric @ 22:11: “Bebe showed great signs as well”
yes AND no. He’s still very raw – last season he was in the Portuguese third division – and inexperienced so he makes silly mistakes, with some frequency. BUT he is a physical force – and he wants to beat his man, every fucking time he has the ball. There’s a lot to be said for his willingness to take on that responsibility, rather than hiding and passing sideways and/or backwards. Taking into consideration that he was up against EPL journeymen – not cloggers in the Portuguese third division – his up-side seems terrific.
The other player who impressed me was Chris Smalling – very composed and tough to push around in contrast to Jonny Evans who seemed to be playing on an icy surface.
And, what can one add about Chicharito ? I can’t see how SAF can demote him when WayneRooney gets back to health and mental fitness. This kid is a rare gem and needs to be kept in game actioni so that he can continue to get better-and-better. The purpose of the game is to score more goals that the other guys and having a natural finisher like Chicharito is a huge bonus – it’s been a long while (since RVN’s star went into decline) that UTD have had someone who is so intuitive as the spearhead of the attack.
Rai @ 23:23: “How much do you think he is worth now?”
Comparable to Kun Aguero or Luis Suarez and definitely more than Alexis Sanchez. In fact, since Chicharito has scored against top-ten international sides AND done briliiantly in his short UTD career, I’d venture to guess that he might even be worth more than any of that trio of highly-regarded forwards. Probably, close to 40 million (quid/Euros ?) like WillieRedNut suggests.
Chicharito’s got it all, hasn’t he? Both feet, his head, instant control, lightning decision-making, an eye for the perfect space, the pace to get in there and the ability to use it with deadly consequence. And I’ll tell you now, as I was watching live, as he hurtled like an exocet missile into that space, I never had one shred of doubt that he would score (I was also there On The Mound when JHK got shot, saw the Twin Towers come down, and just watched my beer can slither, unaided, across the desk into my hand…)
But seriously, what impresses me even more than his outrageously superb finishing and movement, is the guy’s intelligence, vision and (in football terms) maturity. We were a different force when he came on – he transformed the match, and not just with his goal. We instantly looked more threatening. And then, having scored, he had the sense to hang on to the ball and pass it around, knowing that time was nearly up.
And he works well with Berba and Nani too.
And he doesn’t a squillion bucks a minute either.
Wow.
Anyone want to discuss what SAF means when he talks about finding value in the market? Mud in the eye to all those who come on here spouting doom and gloom because we can’t or won’t buy Messi or Torres or who-the-fuck else… and yes I know Chicharito’s having a fine run now and it might not last — and I don’t care.
Cheers!

United unbeaten in 21 matches now. Won 15 (including Bayern, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, and Spurs), drew 6.
Goals: 45. Against: 19
Those 45 goals: top scorer, Nani 8, then Berbatov 7, then Hernandez 6.
It’s actually 13 wins in the last 21. Too many draws has been our undoing this season.
@ Willierednut & Denton Davey
I reckon most clubs would value him at about £25-£40 million…City would pay considerably more! I really hope he keeps scoring and Fergie gives him a good run in the first team…Wazza has got his work cut out for him to get back in the starting line up…he might end up on the left wing if he doesn’t find form soon
@StatesideAussie, you in the Navy or in the arms procurement/supply department?
Not many would relate to the exocet missile. Heh.
Talking about pace reminds me (again) of Rafael. That boy’s acceleration off the mark is so damn scary. If anyone has a recording of that match against Bursaspor, watch it and look out for a part in which Rafael overtook the opposition player when he was about 2 – 3 metres behind, easily within 1-2 seconds I think.
Don’t understand the criticism of Macheda, he needs first team games to progress and get experience… playing in the reserves just isn’t the same. But for some composure and lucky, he could’ve gotten one or two goals, especially when Bebe gave a nice cross that unfortunately just bounced a foot before it got to him. I think he’d do better with someone like Berbatov just behind him.
Anyway, very very refreshing to see the side. This season might be Evans’ nightmare season which he’ll eventually recover from. I do agree that Smalling has looked better this season, especially considering he has a relatively short football education. But Evans was solid and he’ll wake up soon I hope.
For now, Kuszczak over Amos. I don’t understand how anyone could feel more comfortable watching a scrawny GK like him instead of Kuszczak.
Lastly, Obertan and Bebe just needs at most 2 seasons. Exciting times ahead.
Agree Costas
Our midfield was horrid. Carrick and Gibson proved once and for all, they are no where near good enough. The way Gibson gave away the ball on the second goal was just stupid. The next attack thereafter he was just looking that the wolves player as well, and we could have lost it. we need way more grit and determination in our midfield. Carrick had soem nice passes, but he seems so slow and undetermined – whats up?
The goaly – terrible way to defend a corner on the first goal. He did the same thing in Norway when up at Molde and always went off the line at the wrong times and exposed the goal.
Other than that I thought the team did pretty well. Macheda seems to have a heard time lately and doesnt get into good scoring situations. Nice to see Brown as captain, guess that fight with SAF wasnt as bad as reported in the papers.
@Vilhelm28
Carrick had a good game I thought. He doesn’t run around like a headless chicken but 9/10 he is in the right place to break up an attack and last night his passing was alot more positive and offensive than it has been recently.
Gibson mind you is a problem. I said it at the end of last season and the start of this but he should have been on loan. As someone who was 22 and now 23 he should be at a level where he is a serious first team option but he is far from it. He is lacking in so many key areas but they are key areas which he should be able to quickly acquire with regular football but he won’t get that at United. In Jan I would get Cleverly back and send Gibson out
This is a tad off topic but does anyone think Morrison looks a lot like Agbonlahor?!!
What the fuck is with the criticism of Carrick ? He had a decent game last night. Aside from gifting the 2nd goal I thought Gibson did ok too.
Which part of our midfield is shit don’t you get it? It was never the same after that Barca CL final bashing. Seems that some of you guys are just living in the past thinking mediocre performance from our central midfield week in week out is okie since we were winning trophies back then. Our centre midfield is the weakest link and it needs to get sorted out one way or another.
