No doubt now who are the sixth-best team in the league.

Nice to see Spearing's learnt his lesson from that Fulham sending off.

Fully deserved MOTM for Gerrard there. Seem to remember he got one in the game against Utd "just cause it's nice to have him back" (Wilkins tbf)

McLeish said: "You don't want to be bringing attention to yourself. It is not something I want to be discussing."He added: "Was it a shisha pipe [Arabic smoking pipe] or something? I don't know what is in that stuff. For all I know he could have been blowing bubbles into it or something.

The big rumour is a loan for Carlos Tevez, although his wages would surely be a problem and they already have Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City; the rules permit no more than one loan from the same club (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/dec/29/transfer-window-club-guide-premier-league)
wha, why is this even a rumour when it's apparently impossible?

Yakubu is still in his 20s... I don't know how I feel about that.

Blackburn, defending, look like a third division team. Utd need to just work 1% harder and this is still 6-1.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:11 (twelve years ago) link
that was one of the worst attempted shots i've ever seen

Crap game, flat atmosphere so far
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:16 (twelve years ago) link
you know what i fucking hate? 1. saying that the ref would have to be brave to give another penalty 2. having that be your statement when a foul has been committed in the area; not 'he should give blackburn a penalty' 3. the resigned use to not only imply the ref is weak and cannot do his job properly, but also that to be too weak to call it is natural and fine at OT.
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:26 (twelve years ago) link
I could never call a game where Venkys's Blackburn are beating Utd at home crap. It is making a mockery of 'best league in the world' tho
― big popppa hoy, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:29 (twelve years ago) link
Half-time approaching, there's been one shot on target so far and that was the penalty (which was pretty soft anyway as they were both pulling each other)
― The Artist Formerly Known As Teh HoBB, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:29 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but venkys are winning at old trafford

i can't make out united's formation. carrick at rb?
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 31 December 2011 13:32 (twelve years ago) link
Carrick centre-back, Valencia right-back, Rafael centre midfield, I think.

jones is kinda floating somewhere
kean 4 lyfe (if the game ended now)

Rrro-wahs!
I have zero faith in this continuing obviously. Is Rooney on the bench? It's irritatingly poised for him to come on and turn the game like the world class player he is, same as Gerrard last night.

Substitutes
34 Lindegaard, 51 Fryers, 08 Anderson, 42 Pogba, 52 Cole, 32 Diouf, 48 Keane

huh welbeck is on the teamsheet? he must be giving a performance worthy of arshavin.

What is 'Keane'?

a surname iirc

If it stays like this then Venky's will have got half their points total from Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal (according to the BBC).

if kean can get a point from this, he deserves unconditional blackburn fan support imo
not that he ever will, this is about as inevitable as... every other utd game like this in the past 20 years.

have they given up on jones as a centre-half? i dont really know whats going on w/ him

commentator just said blackburn have been playing some 'lovely football'.

Think Jones is centre back today? I can't really work out today's team. Tbh, there have been so many injuries this season that Smalling, Jones, Valencia and Carrick seem to get used just about anywhere.
