Lennon dives thinks its a pen, not in this life fouls outiside the box arent pens

Crouch just wide off the corner
 
31 minutesL Anderson looked like unleashing Rooney there with a slid fifty yard pass, but Cudicini gathered, and it was off side anyway.

Lennon doing a bit of jinking there at the edge of the box and looks to have been fouled at the edge of the box but it's ignored and a corner is given. Crouch heads wide from the resulting corner. Could've done better.
 
34 minutes gone, very very end to end now with Defoe capitalising on a Vidic mistake, but put it wide.

Berbatov is hanging around on the edge of their box and not doing much, while Rooney is running from one touchline to the other.
 
Bull shit

Random foul called on Fletcher, Rooney was in
 
36 minutes: Ref's after giving a foul against Fletcher which seems to have been unwarranted. Unaware of the free, Rooney beat each of their defenders and went through only to be pulled back. Pity that. No booking.

In personal news, my stream has sorted itself out and long may it continue. Though I have now jinxed it and it's started to hobble.
 
Rooney with a decent throughball to Giggs, well gotten to by Cudicini
 
Berbatov got it about thirty yards out, slowed it down nicely and waited for Giggs to get in front of him but the pass wasn't great and the opportunity was gone.

The commentator on my stream said it's "Fast, it's Fierce, it's ...". He clearly couldn't think of any more F words, so I will offer frustrating and frenetic. Fascinating too.
 
Corner to United

Poor effort

ANDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
United worked it well from Anderson in the centre circle doing a three point turn shifting it right, then across to left and winning a corner. Nothing happened from that though.


Except from ANDERSON SCORING.

I'm very proud to be here for this moment
 
A side note Anderson carries an invisible AK-47
 
Anderson is well worth his place, I've been saying this since he signed he will be world class
 
Rooney with a good attacking chance but he misplayed it, foul by Berbatov
 
Rooney's been good, he's been carrying the ball forward in countless counter attacks.
 
44 minutes gone now, John Gregory says each of the United players look likely to score. Amazing how an Anderson goal can send the world in to a frenzy.
 
Vidic destoys Crouch, yellow card to the Terminator
 
Vidic booked a little harshly for fouling Crouch on the centre circle. Spurs have gotten away with worse several times.

Just creeping up to ht now, if anyone has any suggestions for how we can make this better let us know.
 
Ok, so the second half is starting pretty soon (or depending on how slow the stream is, it's started already). I've spent my fifteen minutes wisely, quick trip to Tesco for a Goodfellas Delicia Pizza that was down to €2 so happy enough. Had an even quicker dump and read the contents of Time magazine that was sitting on my sister's washing machine. Nothing of note to report from either trip.

It's been quite a good first half, entertaining and all that but I suppose when you're watching United you don't really get to notice whether it's entertaining or boring because it's United. United will hopefully push on from here, one thing I've noticed is that it's been very United c. early noughties as opposed to recent United if that makes sense? I'm not sure why, it just reminds me more of olden times.

As I've said above, any suggestions for how to make this better, let us know.

The second half is just getting ready to go, I'll go for 2 more goals in the second half, with one coming before the sixtieth minute (a goal between now and 55th minute is 12/5, I like the odds). United next goalscorer is 11/10, and United win is 1/4.

We're off now and United have just tipped it about from side to side so far.
 
Keane from close, deflected by Vida over the bar
 
Assou-Ekotto did very well down the left, getting in to the box past Fletcher(?) I think. Squared it to Robbie Keane who could have scored, great block from Vidic.

Get your money on a goal soon.
 
My stream is just giving sound now, but John Gregory says "Spurs have started the second half very well, taking the game to United". I think they've only crossed the half way line once.
 
Good clearance by Keane, United had players all over the place
 
50th min: Ledley King is after dribbling across the Spurs box, very nearly had it robbed off his toes by either Rooney or Berba, can't remember which.


Rash typical Scholesy tackle, yellow card. Queue Gregory with the usual Scholes can't tackle tripe.
 
Yellow to King on a foulon Scholes,not malicious you could see it coming a mile away
 
Off the bar from crouch off the corner, Spurs are picking it up
 
Jenas got it about thirty yards out, takes a touch and bends it into the top corner, but Foster makes a great save.

Crouch hits the bar from the resultant corner.

This means the bet I had advised is now lost, but at the same time, Spurs came close twice. I can't legislate for the brilliance of England's Number One.
 
Daniel Levy - "feck off"

I hope Berba gets a goal
 
Both were nothing challenges, racism v the gingers again :(
 
feck that Rooney was onside, and saved, but Berba had us up 3-1
