Man United v Sunderland dec 26 3pm

madma

Hi all

anyone know if this match is been televised?

I've checked sky there only showing 12 and 5.30 matches

setanta not showing anything either are Espn so it ain't looking good!

Heads wrecked will be out in the boozer for the day I'm a united fan and there will more aswell as a few Sunderland fans so was looking forward to the banter.

Months ago we saw the fixture and thought deadly..

Only to see now that there's no 3pm game? What's goin on? Same happened 2 or 3 yrs back they showed some crap fixtur instead of this one and look what sky show.. No disrespect to the teams but fulham v west ham for f@ck sake they havin a laugh?

GLaDOS

Sky can't show 3pm games, it's to help attendances I think.

Mars Bar

Yep, it's a gammy set up. Unless you can find a boozer with access to some weird channels that might have it, you'll be watching it on the net.

Emelio

This is most concerning.
You must open your mind to new teams and indeed perhaps new sports.
The irish pub is for socialise, not for watching Manchester.

It's a pub, not Mecca, he can do what he likes :pac:

madma

Ah yeah it's just dissapointing were all big footie fans and all united and Sunderland fans, would make for a good day out.

I wonder if Stevens day was on a Saturday this year maybe setanta would have showed it as they show the 3pm matches on Saturdays!!

We always go the same boozer so only way now is if I contact the pub and ask If they can get any weird channels that are showin it and sure offer him a few quid but sure we'd be putting enough money behind the bar from the booze! It's very unlikely it's a smallish pub.

Cheers anyways.

Sunderland are 10-1, draw no bet for this. Amazing price. Their strikeforce of Wellbeck, Gyan and Bent are dangerous.

Welbeck will be illegible from the loan terms.

Except Welbeck won't be playing, and Cattermole will also not be playing.

Will be a tough game for United, no doubt, but they are two big losses for Sunderland.

Warper

Forgot about that. Ya 2 big losses alright. Still at 10-1 they are way overpriced in the Draw no bet market.

madma

It's a good price but ya can't see united losing at home there defensivly great at the moment vidic playing deadly..

but sure results are all over th place at the moment remember Chelsea losing 0-3 to them recently

Predalien

It's not just Sunderland's attack that's been playing well, defensively they've been excellent recently.

RasTa

Yeah 10/1 are great odds I must admit.

They're 15/2 DNB, 10/1 for straight win

Bounty Hunter

Id be more interested in the odds the game will go ahead and not be called off due to the weather

madma

Very true

I fear most games will be off and Stevens day will be depressing!

More please Dimitar

how many ESPN's are there?

I see that the match ain't on it but the ESPN in USA is showing it live. Kick off 8.25 there time obviously.

I have ESPN AMerica bit it doesn't show footie it is an add on with the Ntl digital pack I got so now I wonder if it will come through on that station.

3hn2givr7mx1sc

Nah, ESPN America never have EPL.
No British channels are allowed to show 3PM games, so that attendances don't drop in stadiums.

I've heard of that before and was in uk before and couldn't find anywhere showing matches at 3 what a joke

I thought setanta/ 1 might be showing it as they do the 3pm games

Probably not allowed 'cos it's a Sunday or something, feckin' annoying that streams will be needed.:(

Setanta 1 or Setanta Ireland usually have one on Saturdays, but they're allowed to 'cos there's no Setanta in England.

Paully D

Sunderland fan here.

Mensah, Cattermole and Welbeck are all massive losses for us.

We'll line up something like this:

Gordon

Al-Muhammadi Onouha Ferdinand Bardsley

Malbranque Richardson Henderson Zenden

Bent Gyan

If we had a full side I'd be confident of putting up a decent fight to get a draw, but United will have too much for our makeshift side IMO.

As we did against Chelsea, we'll go out and attack from the off but ultimately I think United will control the midfield and win the game 2-0.

Oh, we have an awful habit of gifting goals to players that have been struggling to score for ages so get your money on Rooney to score his first goal from open play since the Ice Age.

As for viewing the game, it'll be on virtually every dodgy channel around so a stream on the internet will easily be found. I use Flash Sport Streams which is a subscription site but shows Sunderland live every week.

True. But they have no Welbeck, Cattermole, Mensah, Turner. Will be expecting 3 points!

Thanks mate.

homerjay2005

is this definately not on tv? s*ite?!!!

impossible to predict how we will line up tomorrow, taking the following 2 weeks worth of games into account. im not even going to bother trying to pick the team.

Average-Ro

I think Fergie will be more inclined to get this run of games of to a good start after going so long without a match. I can see him going for as strong a team as possible and rotating against West Brom maybe.

I'm more worried about Birminham away than tomorrows match TBH.

Jax Teller

The match is on epsn Latin America . Hope we can get a link to it

Mars Bar

It's on Canal+ also I think. I'm fairly sure that's what we'll be watching it on in the pub tomorrow...

Which is the South American channel were they cover old rock n' roll songs and change the lyrics when someone scores? Whatever it is, it's hilarious!

S.M.B.

There will be plenty of streams available. Star Sports will be showing it anyway therefore plenty of sopcast streams.

Actually, Star are showing the Livepool - Blackpool game and ESPN are showing the United one.

I think I was watching it before and carrick scored and they started singing satisfaction by the rolling stones

NaiveMelodies

Has anyone had experience of downloading Sopcast on a Mac Book? Have had a look at one guide but it's fairly complicated and alot of people claims it has many glitches on the thread in question!
Cheers..

S.M.B.

I had a look into doing so when I first got my Mac a few months ago but failed.

What I've done is partition my hard drive so I can boot up into Windows and watch sopcast from there. It's the only time I ever use it.

Yeah unfortunately Sopcast isn't available on Mac and neither is Veetle. I run windows using parallels and then use Sopcast.

The best one I ever saw was some wigan game, don't think it was against us, but Rodallega scored and he started off: Ro-o-o-o-rodallllleeeegaaaaa!!! to the tune of Sweet Child of Mine, and went on for ages. I watched the rest of the game on full volume after that.



Now that I think about it, it might actually have been the same game Carrick got serenaded too. The game keysersoze was on about.

Will utd win this easy? I know suderland are missing a few players but would that not give sunderland players more of an incentive to just stay behind the ball and play for a point

I've done it but never got it to actually work, I can open the program but channels never actually load.

ParkRunner

I wonder will the lack of match practice have any effect on the team. Valencia on 7th December and Arsenal on 13th December both at home are the only games United have played this month so far!

Paully D

My source has told me the Sunderland side. This is a definite:

Gordon

Al-Muhammadi Onouha Ferdinand Bardsley

Malbranque Henderson Riveros Zenden

Bent Gyan

It will be interesting to see how Riveros performs in the centre of midfield. His only other start for us was a 45 minute cameo against Spurs in which he was fairly poor.

Unfortunately, as I said before, our lack of important 1st team players means I can see Manchester United winning 2-0.

It will be a long time before Sunderland go to a Top 4 side and sit back after what happened in the Chelsea game (i.e, we attacked and hammered them).

Sunderland will give it a good go regardless of personnel.
