The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

United team vs WBA: De Gea, Jones, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra, Welbeck, Carrick, Scholes, Young, Rooney, Hernandez

Subs: Amos, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Rafael, Cleverley, Pogba

Pogba on the bench amid rumours he's signed a new four year deal at United.

Seen the odd rumour or two about that, nobody seems to have a source though and it could just be one of the usual tits making it up? Interested to see what the hell is actually happening with him and whether the Juve stuff is a done deal or not.

Nice lineup with Welbeck, Rooney and Hernandez all starting. I'd still rather see Rafael at RB though.

Something has definitely changed for him to be put straight back into the first-team squad all of a sudden. If he has signed a new deal I'd expect United to confirm it soon.

I'd expect something to come out within the next day or two if it's true. Possibly even Fergie to bring it up today if so.

Rumours also coming out that Anderson has done his hamstring and is out for the season. Horrendous news if that's true.

A Rooney volley gives Utd the lead.

[The Future]

Best United have played in a while, hope we keep it up and kill this off would love to see Pogba get a run out

[Starvinho]

A solid first half for us, we could have got 1 or 2 more goals on another day. West Brom are looking threatening though so we'll need another goal in the second half I think.

[Starvinho]

Also just seen that Sinclair missed a pen, fucking hell the bastard. Still optimistic Swansea can get something out of that one though.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Yep and apparently it's the first one he's missed in two years.

Very nice from us in the first half. Young and Evra combining well on the left and we actually picked our game up once we took the lead, which we haven't always done as of late.

[IAceI]

Liverpool are absolutely terrible. That's pretty much all I could garner from the match, I was so bored I just had a chat with the lads next to me instead. Awful match. Colback was immense, however.

[Noah]

Pleased with the performance so far but like has been said, WBA are looking good and a 2nd goal would be most welcome. Whoah as i type this, how the hell did that miss?

[Noah]

Wow and again! This keeps up and i fear an equaliser.

[Noah]

Feeling sorry for wba, after they conceeded again but these 3 points will be amazing if swansea hold on.

[Lineker]

Norwich: Ruddy, Naughton, Ward, Whitbread, Drury, Crofts, Hoolahan, Fox, Surman, Jackson, Holt.

Subs: Steer, Martin, Johnson, Morison, Pilkington, Elliott Bennett, Wilbraham.

Wigan: al-Habsi, Boyce, Alcaraz, Caldwell, Figueroa, Beausejour, Moses, McCarthy, McArthur, Gomez, Rodallega.

Subs: Kirkland, Ben Watson, di Santo, Maloney, McManaman, Diame, Stam.

Referee: Kevin Friend (Leicestershire)

[Cheeky Hughes]

Knew we would throw this away. Not able to see the game, but at least Swansea aren't/weren't sitting back, hoping for a fluke goal. Fair play to them, we don't deserve anything.

[Starvinho]

Excellent performance for us, only negative would be not scoring more goals to boost our goal difference. And thank you very much Swansea! Top of the league!

[The Future]

Swansea

We should have scored more today, lots of chances created but WBA deserved a penalty as well. Good game by everyone involved

[Lineker]

Wonderful deft finish from Wes Hoolahan to give Norwich an early lead against Wigan.

[Baddar]

I told my dad that Swansea would beat Man City 1-0 today, so I was able to go downstairs with a smug look on my face after it.

It's an important day in the title race, because if we can pick up 3pts next Sunday at Molineux, it puts huge pressure on City for their game against Chelsea on the following Wednesday night.

[Adam]

Swansea and Norwich really have been magnificent this season, a real breath of fresh air and a great surprise. Glad they're both doing so well.

[Dan]

Facebook is currently a map of the UK of Man Utd fans saying "we" are gonna win the league and laughing at City.

Pretty amusing really.

[Starvinho]

Fergie has just come out and said Pogba has yet to sign a new deal because he hasn't made his mind up but 'he knows where he should be'. I'd be suprised if he doesn't sign now.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Still a long way to go in the title race, hope too many United fans don't start getting cocky just because we're a point clear. That said though
