Man Utd v Tottenham - 12:45 Sat 8th Aug

[JimJams]

I like the setup for Utd though. With attacking fullbacks and Schneiderlin covering that back line they might be alright defensively when they bomb on. Certainly with Spurs having Dier and Bentlaeb in there it at least nullifies some of Spurs attacking options from midfield anyway and perhaps gives them less to think about. Dembele desperately needs a good showing.

 

[SALTIRE]

Romero not played at all for United or at all competitively in 2015.

He's was Argentina's keeper in the Copa America.

 

[SALTIRE]

Oooooooh, unlucky there for Spurs...

 

[JimJams]

Kane took the piss with that pass.

 

[Stevencc]

Bloody hell Dave, Kane is seeing plenty of the ball.

 

[SALTIRE]

Kane is playing well, and Spurs looking the more dangerous side thus far!

 

[JimJams]

Kane and Eriksen are up for it. Rooney and Depay have barely seen the ball. Young seems to be the go to guy for Utd.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Schneiderlin got Schneiderlin'd there. Weird seeing him in another clubs shirt.

 

[SALTIRE]

Fuck me if they have Howard Webb there in any capacity, he'll somehow make sure Manoo wins here!

 

[Stevencc]

Saltire "I'm not going to be watching the football this season, I need a break".

*United have the first match of the season*

*Saltire goes into full Saltire mode*

 

[Stevencc]

GET IN THERE!

I'm going to be missing the matches tomorrow though mate, going away for a few days. Its the first match of the season though

 

[Storzy]

As well as Spurs are playing, their centre midfield is shit.

 

[JimJams]

How's yer luck?

 

[G-Dragon]

0 shots on goal 1 goal...typical united lol.

 

[SALTIRE]

Dont tell me they are wearing black armbands for Neville Neville!!!

 

[JimJams]

Not sure why you let someone who is somewhat of a free kick specialist, not actually take the free kicks!?

It was best suited to a left footer and Mata is somewhat of a freekick specialist himself!

Doesn't Mata have the best conversion rate in the Premier league for free-kicks scored?

 

[G-Dragon]

FACT: Kyle Walker has scored more goals for Manchester United this season, than every #MUFC player combined.

 

[Stevencc]

That wouldn't surprise me, he's pretty efficient with them.

 

[liu]

Bentaleb has been shit.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Bentaleb has been shit.

You mean "Bentalla" I think. Hoddle knows best.

 

[Stevencc]

Did anyone else catch Owen say about Alderweireld "he had a good season at Tottenham last season and now he's moved to Spurs, let's see how he fits in" - or something to that effect?

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Romero: I just kicked the ball out of play

 

[Nath]

Romero is ropey.

The guy is a complete mug.

 

[Stevencc]

We didn't make the best of starts but after the goal we took control of the game, pressed well and penned Spurs in.

My missus has visitors coming round so I'm being turfed out - off to the pub to watch the second half and imbibe alcoholic beverages (woe is me).

 

[mistermagic]

This is shit.

 

[SALTIRE]

This is shit.

Have it running in the background but not watching it. Watching Bournemouth at 3 though in their first game, that shouldn't be as drab.
