[blade1889]

Really? Weird and surprising stat.


Just realised you meant Manchester

 

[Nath]

Recipe for disaster.

The most popular team in the country shown on TV shocker.

[silkyman]

The most tedious team in the country shown on TV shocker.

FTFY.

 

[KevinMcallister]

they are such an exciting team are Yawnited

 

[Nilsson]

Playing 2 deep midfielders at home to Sheffield United. Horrible game.

 

[smat]

Well that was fascinating (not!!! )

 

[silkyman]

Still, the tirade of abuse from the England captain to the ref must have been worth the entry fee alone.

 

[Nath]

We're desperate.

 

[silkyman]

Lot of empty seats, again, I see...

 

[Renegade]

Highlights how poor Swansea are, it is just very easy to nullify this team. Nothing has changed in the last week, I really don't know why the pressure on Van Gaal has alleviated. Surely this has to end soon. There isn't a more boring team around.

 

[smat]

Can't really see United pulling themselves out of this torpor, and it's a bit of an undignified end for a great and successful manager, really. Shots from distance against a League One side ironically cheered by his own fans. Sad imo.

 

[silkyman]

Stop milking it Bastian... You didn't get the penalty.

 

[Benji]

Looked like that was going to be a bad injury on Schweinsteiger but he's playing on, only slightly less mobile than usual.

 

[Stevencc]

I've not been able to see any of this (and I don't mean in the Saltire sense, I've actually had stuff to do).

I see Silkyman is posting a lot though so I'm guessing United have been poor.

Another famous 0-0 though by the looks of it, can't wait for the highlights show later.

 

[Christian Slater]

FTFY.

Doesn't stop you from watching.

Woeful again. There's not much more that can be said that hasn't for two months.

 

[Renegade]

I've not been able to see any of this (and I don't mean in the Saltire sense, I've actually had stuff to do).

I'm so fucking jealous.

EDIT: this is the only way we'll score. Unlucky Sheffield United.

[Stevencc]

Silkyman's just smashed his laptop to smithereens.

I saw it live and it looked like a ridiculous dive - stream died before the pen or the replays though.

I've dipped in and out. Looks like the old United are back though. A penalty in injury time.

All good. Keeps LVG in a job with the barest of minimal benefit to United on the pitch.

 

[Nath]

Completely undeserved.

 

[silkyman]

Looked an absolutely terrible dive, but the replay showed 'some contact'

 

[JimJams]

I know a win is seen as a positive but surely a 0-0 or a loss here would have been best long term cos LvG would surely have been shown the door.

It's a definite penalty. You'd be having it if it were for City.
