Corry Evans, Jonny's brother.

Mars Bar · 31-07-2010 3:52am

Is it Corry Evans in midfield?

EDIT: seemingly it is.

Did the ref spray paint a line on the ground for the wall?

Yeah that's the best thing ever.

I've decided Chicarito is now my favourite player!

It's a disappearing spray, I think it started in Argentina, makes the wall stay where the ref puts them.

Nemanja91 · 31-07-2010 3:56am

I've been so impressed with cleverly all pre-season, I kind of want him to stay for the season but I wouldn't mind seeing him on loan in the premier league

It doesn't really though! The wall finished a foot ahead of the line!

It's funny to see though!

Well that's the concept anyway! At least it makes it obvious when they try and steal a yard...

Cheers, didn't even know he was on the tour. Watching Chico is really exciting me. We haven't had a natural striker like this since RVN(Obviously Owen but come on). His positioning is suberb.

True, I like the idea. Blatter wouldn't have any of it though...

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 3:59am

That was a neat looking replay

You'd be surprised... well, at least according to the inventor;

MJRS · 31-07-2010 4:01am

Even though he might achieve nothing with it... When Berbatov does things like that

nkay1985 · 31-07-2010 4:01am

I could see Chico's pace and movement causing defences trouble.

On the subject of the match, Nani on the right for United would make a huge difference. Very impressed by Cleverly.

Hah, it was. He was fairly stretching!

Diouf is a bit...I dunno. I haven't been too impressed with him anyway...

You missed Chicharito and Smalling score within 2 mins of each other!

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:04am

Diouf is...missing something...He never seems to actually be in (the box) and get chances.

Yeah, something like that. He wants to get the ball deeper but he's not very good at holding it up.

niallk · 31-07-2010 4:06am

I can't ****ing wait to see Berba and Chico as a front 2. With Chico's movement a nd pace and Berba's vision, they could be lethal. 2nd half hopefullly.

Mars Bar · 31-07-2010 4:06am

Hernandez's was fantastic! Left footed half volley from outside the box into the bottom corner. Smallings was a header from a corner.

MJRS · 31-07-2010 4:06am

A bit odd watching last year's away with this year's sponsor..

I think the key to Blatter's support for this is that it's cheap and you still have the scope for human error since the ref has to guess where 10 yards is!

Yeah, sure we don't need Rooney anymore!

Of course, a bit of confidence and he'd be a complete different player, always the way I guess.

He can play centre mid from now on

Paul Tergat · 31-07-2010 4:09am

Hernandez is fast becoming my new hero. Smalling on the other hand im not so sure why shelled out on him but im willing to give the lad time, still young and can improve but i think we could definitely have spent 12m better.

edit:
ghey goal conceded

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:11am

*Potentially* 12m, gol gol gol!

Cypher_sounds · 31-07-2010 4:11am

United arent well at all, diouf is anonymous up front and with berbatov alongside him hes not helping matters

GOOOAALLLL

Liam O · 31-07-2010 4:11am

saw the goal on replay there, very nice.

wonder did any of the United players think about celebrating with him?

Insect Overlord · 31-07-2010 4:11am

Ah for feck sake...

Bob the Seducer · 31-07-2010 4:11am

Feck 2-1 Chivas

Mars Bar · 31-07-2010 4:11am

Sloppy, sloppy defending. That's 3 goals conceded from set pieces now...

Liam O · 31-07-2010 4:12am

stellar defense there from United :rolleyes:

well offside though...

Paul Tergat · 31-07-2010 4:12am

i guess i have to do this

4k post

I LOVE UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:13am

Has Evans touched the ball yet?

Cypher_sounds · 31-07-2010 4:13am

ah come on ref harsh yellow for scholesy

Smegball · 31-07-2010 4:13am

Hahaha gotta love Scholes tackling.

niallk · 31-07-2010 4:14am

FFS Scholes. Wasn't he banned for a pre-season red card a few years ago. Cop the **** on. Still, gotta love him.

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:15am

Bit too much of a gap between midfield & attack *Football manager mode*

Mars Bar · 31-07-2010 4:15am

Good tackle by De Laet there...

EDIT: Ouch, your man really got his foot stuck in the ground there. That has to be sore...

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:16am

He slide so hard the pitch caught fire.

Paul Tergat · 31-07-2010 4:17am

Wow its not fun watching a game ****ed

Anyone gimme a link to Hernadez goal/?

Shy_Dave! · 31-07-2010 4:18am

Are they growing drugs in the stadium?

Mars Bar · 31-07-2010 4:18am

These lads love their replays. You'll see it again in a couple of mins when half time comes, and probably from a million different angles in slow motion too!

Bob the Seducer · 31-07-2010 4:19am

If Chicharito gets two in the second half does it still count as a hat-trick? :pac:

Cypher_sounds · 31-07-2010 4:19am

Sloppy from Diouf hes not doing himself any favours on this tour
