Toon v Man U live discussion

[Lee]

1-0 Toon, shove your clean sheet record up your arse Man U

 

[The Todd]

Clean sheet record went against Blackburn. It was van der Sar's record that he still had, and his mistake led to the goal. Newcastle could have scored again there.

 

[Lee]

Oooh nice shot by Martins, hits the side netting

Carrick is getting lots of boos.

 

[Lee]

ah right, Newcastle are doing well for some reason, shocking free kick by Taylor there.

 

[The Todd]

Against the run of play ROoney equalises. He sure loves scoring at St. James doesn't he?

 

[Lee]

pah, Newcastle fail to sit back. Interesting.

 

[The Todd]

What a game mind. End to end, not many games are like this anymore. Always count on these two to but on a spectacle.

 

[Lee]

I'm surprised how well we're doing, very back and forth...not like us at all.

I thought Man United would have more of an eye on next week, with Inter and Liverpool to play, and you Geordies are always up for the big games, especially when you start well. But Man United have pretty much full strength team out, bar Giggs and Rafael, yet Newcastle are matching them.

 

[klunderbunker]

Tied up.

 

[Lee]

I'm amazed at how much offensive work we're doing here.

 

[Lee]

Where's Polley?

Corner to Man U...

 

[Lee]

wahey that's the toon defense I know...shocking.

 

[The Todd]

See, this just proves teams should attack Man United more. Newcastle have taken the game to them, and are opening them up. Teams usually sit back, but always get broken down eventually, but see a 1-0 defeat as acceptable. Never seen the Man United defence so vulnerable.

 

[Lee]

I'd like to know the stats of this game so far

 

[The Todd]

According to bbc sport. Newcastle 51%-49% Man Utd possession
Both have six shots on target, newcastle three off, Man Utd one off
Man Utd ahead on corners 6-3

 

[Lee]

Exciting stuff, a very impressive opening by the Toon.

 

[Lee]

Taylor and Rio were lucky not to get sent off there.

 

[The Todd]

Could easily have been a red card there. Set up nicely this.

Boro's return to form didn't last long then. Spurs are easily going to stay up, they showed on Sunday they're way too good to go down.

 

[Lee]

that's 3-0 now for spurs.

We're not getting this game in America. I'm stuck with west ham and aston villa.
