I will not be able to watch the game due to a family emergency but good luck NUFC!

Also Colo might not play due to back spasms which would add insult to injury.

Got a late start this morning, sorry

Lineups are posted, refresh to see if you’d like. Colo is fine, Guthrie is in and Best didn’t even make the bench. Obertan slips back in ahead of Sammy. No surprises on the Man Utd side that I can see.

It’s a little terrifying. They may have their faults, but that speed from one end of the pitch to the other, with the sight of our defenders sprinting 100 miles an hour for so long, has been nerve wracking.

No offense to Danny Guthrie, of course

True

Overall, wonderful first half for us.

It reminds me a lot of the 1-1 game at Old Tafford last year (or at least the last Man U game of the season, last year. It was on a Monday, pretty sure it was at Old Tafford).

Lots of pace and agression from both sides, to the point where it got a little sloppy in the box.

it seems as though there is something about this side of the pitch

maybe I’m reading into it, but Man U looks to be doing a lot of the same things Newcastle did in the first half, especially Nani making runs nearly identical to those Obertan did… maybe a quick patch of grass there down near the touch line.

although you’re always going to want to hold on to HBA to see what he might pull out… Sammy is probably on for Obertan who has kind of disappeared in the second half…

I think he knows Pards is about to take him off.

Also… why is Colo playing so absurdly high? Back up, bro!

True.

I didn’t see it as a penalty at first even as I was screaming PENALTY!!! at my TV
