Not getting a goal before HT is a blow. Leeds may come out as a different team in the second half. The commentators are going mad about Beckham's elbow. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
Considering how many key players are out with injuries, I'm pretty happy with the first half. Ole should have gotten a penalty but I can't complain about it too much because Becks could easily have been sent off. Lucky not to have at least gotten a yellow card.
United well on top, disappointing we havent got a goal. Beckham should have been sent off....
Looking at the replay, Becks could have been sent off.
nice one lads... we've played well and are very unlucky not to be in the lead... i can't believe the fecking ref missed two blatant pens... the formation is very condensed in the midfield, this has helped to stiffle Leeds' play...
the only negative has been Beckhams distribution , which, quite frankly has been terrible... however, he's put in the effort.

Well the MU Radio claim it was the most blatant elbow you'll see. No doubt the media will go ape tomorrow on how Mr Winter favours us.
Neil, it was a blatant elbow. Nice one, he couldn't have aimed it at a nicer bloke.
We were very good from 20 mins on.
We should've got a penalty.
Becks was lucky not to be sent off - the referee can't have seen the elbow.
COME ON UNITED!

For once everyone is really really trying. I think the atmosphere has a lot to do with it, you can't but give your best.
Surprised that we're dominating so much, but Giggs and Beckham are causing havoc, and Ole too. O'Shea very solid, Rio and Barthez though have had poor understanding - Fabien needs to obey Rio.

Neil - I've just seen the one replay but I think Bowyer saw it coming and leaned in towards the elbow to maximise the visual effect. It just looked like a piece of theatre to me. I doubt there was much impact, but I may be biased.
I'm very glad to see that Beckham and Giggs are rotating free kick and corner duties. It's about time we looked at our options in that area. Giggs dead ball delivery has been good today.
Leeds players look strong in the middle of the park but have a curious habit of falling over very easily just outside the opposition box, especially when they are on the right hand side of the area. Harte's delivery looks like Leeds best option for a goal today.

i've been reading the live game cast from <a href="http://www.soccernet.com" target="_blank">www.soccernet.com</a> and we seem to have a lot of the play, hopefully we can do something with it
OGS made one pass that if it had been Veron would have been raved about.
BUUUUURRRRRRRPPP

supersub's played well...
Matteo and Barmby off, Radebe and Bakke on - no changes for us.
Kinell... Bowyer close straight away. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />
O'Shea blocks Kewell, Barthez fumbles another attempt, but gets it back again. Same hectic pace!
Credit to the lads at the game, we're making some noise! HELLO HELLO!
C'mon Ruud, muscles away from the defenders, great save by Robinson. Damn!
Dirty Dirty Leeds, kept playing while Phil was on the ground
What the feck is Barthez doing? He makes a save, under pressure from a leeds player, then goes nose to nose with him.
Phil walking to the sidelines <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" /> Get on chadwick! Phil jogging back on.

He wanted a word with Kewell I believe
More even second half so far, not got our movement going again yet. Leeds, and Smith, still being very physical, this time Smith gets a yellow. Dirty Leeds.
Smith booked
Poor cross by Beckham after good quick passing by us. Nice solid tackle by Blanc. Butt though is struggling to get off the floor.
Smith ploughs into Silvestre again and gets booked.- where actually was that on the field. i reading text and have no idea
Butt injured it seems.
Butt is injured, loooked like a knee in the back, he's kinda on his feet, but hobbling off. Chadwick warming up. I wanted Phil off, not fecking Butt!

How's O'Shea doing on the right?
