Manchester United vs. Blackburn Rovers

[noodlehair]

When unlazy Berbatov shows up he just runs games, almost on his own. I've never seen him and Rooney be so consistently aware of each other's position though. It's almost been Cole-Yorke like.

Overall there's been what, about two missed placed passes, from the entire team? and Rio and Vidic have snuffed out some dangerous attacks in an almost piss taking manner.

i'm having second thoughts about the penalty, at first i said it was a clear one, but after watching it again i think berba hits the defender

Penalty. Although I don't think he would have scored anyway. He should have shot before. When he was brought down there were enough defenders there IMO to prevent the shot from from causing any trouble.

 

[Red Pavan]

Rio hasn't given away a PL free-kick since April, according to the Noggie studio people.

 

[Red Dreams]

I hope the rumors of Anderson leaving are just that. We certainly need the lad. Carrick and him have been very good. The entire back 4 impressed so far.

 

[elmo]

any idea why rooney was limping a little in the first-half?

Some incident with Salgaldo, not too sure myself.

 

[olesmyhero]

that Geiko advert with the drill sgt from Full Metal Jacket is brilliant!

The best ones are the woodchucks chucking wood and the little piggy one. Geico has had some of the best commercials over the past 5 years or so(in the states at least).

I have to agree. He was looking for it. He should have just gone for goal.

MotM is going to be a toughie today.

Exactly what I said. Never seen them play like this together.

Carrick and Anderson compliment eachother so well and IIRC Anderson's best performances have come alongside him. Coming to think of it, it is actually the best partnership we can put out there in central midfield given Scholes' physical decline.

 

[Kelvin]

i really think berba should have taken the shot early, he was trying to walk the ball into the net.

His Berbaness for me so far.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

cant get any damm stream to work ?

 

[MrK]

Okay great half but, one big complaint ... what are Rooney and Berbatov doing when it comes to Nani - seem to be ignoring him. Think it's making Nani want to try too much once he gets the ball now.

Sexual stuff.

hmm I've noticed Berbatov play the ball to Nani a bunch of times, and I've noticed it because people keep saying stuff like this.

On the performance though, it's been a pleasure to watch, but just goes to show what an early goal can do. Without that we could have ended up with frustration again as Blackburn packed out the defence. Hope we steam on in the second half now and grab a couple more to improve our goal difference and our confidence, another hat trick for Berb please!

 

[20le_Solskjaer]

sopcast stream anyone?

 

[Red Dreams]

I had a fright when I saw Rooney limping...not again...

Hope he can play the full match.

 

[togg]

I'd take rooney off are the 65 minute mark...just to protect that ankle

Carrick tends to naturally compliment anyone because he's such a natural footballer.

Wonderful player who is coming into his own now after a lean year.

Agree.

 

[kouroux]

The great part is that we're expressing ourselves on the pitch. That's what we want to see.

Btw, Diouf's tackle was a disgrace. Class from Evra not making a meal out of it.

Diouf is an asshole, Evra knew there was nothing to gain from arguing with him with a 3-0 but like the commentator he should have been sent off.How the hell did the ref not a penalty at the end is also beyond me ?

Everyone except VDS

As do I, but we can't really fault him for it in that particular situation. He did it incredibly well and only thing that stopped him from scoring and amazing solo goal is a tackle that should've resulted in a penalty. We'd not been complaining had the ref done his job properly.

Why are Rooneys ankles so brittle these days?

 

[Feed Me]

If he's fully fit, which he would appear to be, then there's no need. He'll never get a chance to fill his boots and really play his way into form. He and Berbatov both need the mins.

 

[Bref]

sopcast stream anyone?

I need one too...

This is the problem and one reason why players make a meal out of things. Because ref's react to fouls depending on how much the player makes out of it, which is ridiculous.

 

[WR]

Finally got a good stream for the 2nd half, shame the commentators are yanks

EDIT: Oh they're not, just the presenters

 

[holyland red]

stream please

 

[Jacob]

Agreed about the natural part, although he is a bit slow and less direct (offensively) than our alternatives. Anderson's explosiveness and willingness to dribble up the pitch gives a very balanced match.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

All too easy

 

[Rado_N]

Agree with this, keep them both on.
