the official UNITED v SCUM thread...

I think Butt is going to be subbed. Rio having to defend against Kewell. Kewell knocks becks to the ground, but its somehow Leed's ball. Bollocks. Butt is on and still getting the important tackles in, hope he can stay on.
 
Butt is a fecking star, soldiering on and doing his job well. Ruud shot blocked by woodgate. Woodgate having a great game actually.
 
A real premiership game this, incredbible pace, real end to end stuff. Suits us.

Rio's having a great game, Blanc and O'Shea also being solid. Despite all the attacking, this may well end up 0-0 because of the level of perforance of the defenses.

Chadwick on for Butt!
 
Beckham into the centre.

Ole wins a corner. Becks to take, Rio up for it. Near post, but O'shea heads it back, retain possession, eventually out for a real united throw in. Mickey pressured into conceding another throw in to the sheep.
 
Kewell header, under no pressure at all from the cross, Mickey not even close to him. Pitiful, like we have been at setpieces the whole game.

They have played absolute crap and Kewell was useless and a stupid defensive error and they have taken the lead........

FECKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
 
Should've made more from our chances earlier, same old story. Leeds breaking, Bowyer poor cross, barthez collects. Giggs tackled, throw in, becks over to o'shea, poor pass to ruud, cut out, becks picks it up, to ole, back to rio, Forlan getting ready to come on, Ruud to neville cross in blocked out, Leeds with the ball.

Cross came from the right, but the header was from central left, in loads of space. Where was the defense???

Aye. The lot of them, I just don't understand why you've chosen Silvestre.

Our right winger was marking the crossed, our right back was in... err... central defence remembering he should be playing on the right and starting to run there.

Maybe just a sign of all the changes we're forced to make.

DOesnt mater mate!!! ANOTHER defensive error and we are behind!!!
 
Same old fecking story, we've got more of the possesion but don't take our chances, they get the odd chance and score from it.

They're still attacking, have a corner.

Harte takes, Rio heads out, late tackle on becks, he gets up though, passing it around the half way line, giggs flicks on, goalkeepers ball.
 
Leeds are winning every defensive header, and they're starting to play a bit of keep ball, although not stopping attacking.

Not enough movement from us, every time the front men get the ball, their defense comes in and gets the ball.

Amir, blanc and rio were nowhere to be seen either.


Mickey putting his boot back on.
 
Free kick to Kewell on near post, poor shot off target from him. Our attacks have lost their threat somehow, Chadwick trying to run at them but Leeds too strong.

Chadwick tries another run, gets the ball to Giggs who turns and shoots, but blocked again.
 
Rio continuing to have a great game.

Mickey to Diego, long pass to beckham up front, defender wins the ball, back to Robinson.
 
Smith wrestles O'Shea to the ground, could have been a yellow imo.

Kewell gets another shot on goal, bathez coudln't have saved but it goes wide. Leed 9 attempts on goal to our 7, totally different second half.
 
Chadwick trying to get past 2 defenders, but its a tall order.

Long throw into 6 yard box, but we don't get on the end of it. Barthez on half way line, ball up, but not winning it. Goes out for goalkick.
