United has rested Rooney for the game against Stoke.
Very physical game so far, Stoke are really crashing in.
Hernandez off after 10 minutes after an awkward fall in the box, Owen subbed on

[Jim05]

Nani with a good goal, United 1-0 after 27,
From the restart Stoke go forward and De Gea pulls off a great save

Half Time
Stoke 0-1 United

[Jim05]

Crouch levels it at 1-1

[Jim05]

Crouch then misses from 1m out a few minutes later

[Jim05]

Had to settle for 1-1 draw. Really poor game by United. Fielded a weakened team and then lost Hernandez after 10 minutes but the guys we had on the park should have got the job done. The positives were Jones was awesome again and De Gea who made at least 6 quality saves and wasnt at fault with the goal. The negatives were Berbatovs pathetic display, at least look interested ffs. Id rather play Welbeck and Macheda at least they look keen, time for Berba to go.
Hopefully just a blip on the radar, still top and always a tricky place to get points at.
Stoke now have drawn with Chavski and United and beaten Liverpool

[Bully]

typical berbatoss there Jim....always loses interest when hes not in favour.

very physical game at stoke and always is....the refs seem to let a few tackles go there when any team plays there and again last night. Memories of shawcross tackle on aron ramsey which broke his leg 2 years ago.....the game is physical at stoke and tough for any side.

[Il Duce]

Yeah Rugby FC is always a hard place to pick up points and it's there form at the britania that has seen them improve season after season. De Gea is starting to settle and will be a great player for you guys....sadly, the count should be moved on but its hard to do that to someone who was the league's to scorer last season and not many clubs can afford his wages. Ok I will admit that Ellen DeGeneres is a good pick up and will be a fantastic player and help united to more titles.....like u f'n need them.

Yeah you are spot on.
How did you see your mobs performance?
Thought you guys played really well, Ramires is in top form.
Very stupid by Torres, he had just scored and was looking good, you are up 2-0 against a bunch of scrubbers and he lays probably the worst tackle if the year, just dumb football. Good to see Drogba get a run and score

[Il Duce]

I thought Swansea could of troubled us if they gave us a real go but they rocked up to the bridge with the thought they had already lost. Torres is now starting to be the player he once was, running the channels, palying the ball around and scoring, was a good goal aswell by him after a fantastic mata pass. I think the excitment of scoring + crowd getting right behind him he can feel some of the presure come off and all this = the most stupid tackle in a pointless area and it got the red it deserved (btw that was an attackers tackle if I've ever seen one) and no one from the Chelsea sides of things batted an eye lid when the straight red was issued. Ramires was Chelsea's best player last night and against you guys, people say box to box, I think Ramires is touchline to touchline the man never stop's running and has unbeliveable pace, get himself in great positions and I would say is the main cog in the engine. Great to Drogba get a run and I will assume he will play the next 3 league matches with Torres only able to play champions league, good that he scored with and almost similar to Torres finish also good to see Josh McEachran get a run. As a whole I would say it was a good game by Chelsea except disapointing we let them score late and it was from one of there defenders who had found space at every corner or set piece they had, luckly for Chelsea he only finished once but otherwise good game for the blues.

[Bully]

haha rubgy FC...love it

on the topic of that...i still cant understand how the refs allow Delap to take nearly 30 seconds- to a minute to take a throw in? i agree its a great throw in from him and causes major problems for opposition defences, but he takes to long. Its simply not fair for the oppositon team

Norwich 2 - Sunderland 1

Early rise for 4.30 kick off. We looked pretty nervous in the first 20 minutes , but then took control of the game.

Sunderland were very disappointing and first game this season that I was condident of taking the 3 points.

Ruddy excellent in goal
Tierney for a bloke that struggled to make the Colchester 1st team two years ago, is playing magnificently at left back.
Hools is an engine, never stops and just sets our tempo.
I could go on with all the other blokes.

Paul lambert super manager.

1st game without conceding a penalty

If we can keep the intensity up like the first six games, we will have a great chance of staying up.


Man utd watch out
