Cheers for the bump, mate. I was an inch away from making plans with the gf's family. Ha! feck them.
I wonder if I can get this on a stream at work ??
Seems like it is totally worth the risk.

If we can get anything from this match without our 3 best players, I will be very impressed.
It appears to be a little windy..
Any chance for Streams?
oh dear Henderson - that was so bad it was almost funny 
I can't remember the last time I saw a keeper make an error like that
I can't remember the last time I saw a keeper make an error like thatwow that was bad
Any chance for a stream?
Edit : never mind got one.

City looking very strong and dangerous. We're playing against the wind but not started well so far.
it's the wind....we can't play our way out because of the wind
This is a bit of a farce.
don't understand why we even try to play a long ball - it can't work. Keep it on the ground or kick it out of play. It's a matter of surviving until half-time and then strike back
horrible tackle by Goss - awful! God knows why he isn't sent straight off
Not good from Goss that.
Missed a great chance that.
Huge chance.
Poor defending there from Evans. He knew he was in trouble and should've got goalside a lot earlier.
Can we beat City at any level ffs?
They were too big and fast for us. The CBs and Croskery did alright.
What was the result? I didn't wake up til gone 12.
2-0 to city ambrose with both goals
Ah that's a shame. How did we play? Shit?
Conditions made the 1st half difficult, playing to a massive head wind. Can't comment on the 2nd as I got scolded at work for watching it instead of making calls.
Defended pretty well, got nothing going in attack whatsoever. Not surprising i guess given the players we had missing and against a very strong side.

U18s: United 0 Man City 2
Manchester United’s Under-18s were beaten by league leaders Manchester City in the mini-derby at a blustery Aon Training Complex on Saturday.
Paul McGuinness made four changes for his team’s third game in a week and his young Reds acquitted themselves well but were unable to prevent a powerful City side claiming the points, thanks to Thierry Ambrose's double.
With a strong wind at their backs, the visitors dominated proceedings early on and went ahead when striker Ambrose charged down an attempted clearance by goalkeeper Dean Henderson, one of the Reds’ changes, and calmly slotted home.
United struggled to get out of their third in the early exchanges but grew as the half wore on, albeit without creating any real chances of note. City, meanwhile, went close through Brandon Barker and Olivier Ntcham, while Nicholas Ioannou made a last-ditch tackle to thwart Ambrose.
The wind continued to play havoc after the break but, though it was now more in the home side’s favour, City continued to threaten, with Kean Bryan’s shot deflected wide and Barker seeing an effort blocked by Henderson, who responded well after his early error.
With the score still only 1-0, United sensed an opportunity and Joe Riley’s free-kick drew a first real save from Billy O’Brien, with Ioannou firing the rebound into the side-netting.
There was a delay as Denzeil Boadu was stretchered off following a tackle by Reds midfielder Sean Goss, and soon after substitute Ruairi Croskery had United's best opening with a goalbound shot that was just blocked.
But that proved to be the Reds’ final chance and City wrapped up their 13th consecutive win in injury-time as Ambrose ran on to a through-ball to finish well.
United: Henderson; Evans, Barber (Borthwick-Jackson 78), McConnell, Ioannou; Willock, Goss; Riley, Mitchell, Redmond (McTominay 72); Rashford (Croskery 72). Subs not used: Pereira, Thompson.
