I'll be watching it on TV...there's a TV genius living in waterford that always finds a way to get matches in. I know he's helped one particular pub this week cause they've advertised it as being exclusively shown in their place...Maybe there's a similar genius near you... (by the way..I happen to know that this guy is a boards member too)

Lemlin

John O'Shea!!!???

For people living in the Waterford City area. I have put this match into the Stand Bar in Micheal Street. The game is been shown on a French Channel. AFAIK it is the only bar showing it in the city center.

United team to play Sunderland.

VDS, Bardsley, Rio, Silvestre, OShea, Ronaldo, Scholes, Smith, Park, Rooney, RVN

1-0 Bolton vs Chelsea, Stelios after great play by Diouf.

Aquos76

1-0 to Utd Rooney

Very lack luster preformance in the first half my Man U. The goal really came against the run of play. United are really finding it hard to to put any passes together. Ronaldo has had a couple of shots fly wide. Park is playing ok Ruud has only had one shot on goal. O shea is looking very nervous but thankfully he is not giving away too many. Rio is looking a bit better that he has been in our previous 2 game.

PHB

United have looked crap in the back 6 players, of the back 4 and the two midfielders.
The attacking 4 have been great apart from Ronaldo.
Ruud and Park are linking up really well, and Ruud is getting some mega impressive flick ons, which Park is running onto, and then passing for an assist, which isn't something Rooney or Ronaldo do.
Ronaldo should be subbed for Giggs who is in fantastic form, Scholes should be subbed for Fletcher, who has also been in fine form for country.

Lemlin

Hopefully United keep a clean sheet. Have Van Der Saar as my captain with Ferdinand in defence in the FFL.

I couldn't see the game, was this a 4-4-2? I'm very surprised Giggs didn't start given his current form.

Giggs came back from international duty with a bad back according to reports. The Rossi era has begun!

Lemlin

Hopefully the Elliott era has begun too!

We could do with Elliott playing more games for ireland.

Any option instead* of Squinton Morrison is a good one.

* Once the option isn't Doherty.

wheres me jumpa

just saw the highlights.

sunderland were unlucky to go behind. van der sar was amazing again. elliot looked in great form. he skinned silvestre twice in the first 20mins and scored an absolute screamer. glad to see rossi getting a goal, hopefully he'll get a few more games this year.

PHB

Very happy to see United go for the win in the second half
I feel over the second half we deserved to win it.
Rooney had three passes in front of the goal that an inch the other side would have gone in, and he is still young
Getting better and better.

p.s.
We still havn't had a midfield goal this year.
Rooney and Van Nist, and now Rossi.

VDS - Signing of the year without a doubt

I saw it on some Spanish satelite channel in the pub... great goal by Elliot - maybe we'll be seeing Stephen Elliot and Kevin Doyle partnership up front for Ireland in future?

how does O shea get into the team mg hes crap

scuba steve

O shea should be played in midfield more often. Great so see Rossi scoring a goal. Hopefully he'll get a few more games under his belt this season and next

When Gary Neville and Gabrielle Heinze are both injured, there really isn't much competition (also illustrated by the fact that Bardsley started, though he seems like a good player).
