Jon Champion at OT just reported that Rooney went straight into the back of an ambulance and the initial prognosis is at least 4 weeks out. Which means he'd miss the England qualifiers.

[MJB]

Was disgusting, he was standing up afterwards and blood started pouring out of it, mental. Rod dived in the air and literally stamped on him (accidental in fairness), looked terrible. Hopefully it's not too bad, Rooney looked in agony when going off on the stretcher.

Made that hard for ourselves. Dominated the game and then conceded as ridiculous of a goal that you'll see all season. This let Fulham back into it and changed everything. De Gea made up for the communication era with Vidic with some class saves. Happy with those three points, shouldn't of been as hard as it was though.

Oh and yeah, Dembele was excelled. Again.

Listening to Charlie Nicholas, you'd think that De Gea had a shocker.

I was playing myself until about 4.30ish so I didn't manage to see any of the game but I'm just glad we've got the three points. Really hope we can get Rio, Jones, Evans and Smalling back soon.

Oh and the terrible weather has just hit where I live and my Sky has packed up, anyone give me an idea of what SAF has had to say?

[IAceI]

The suns out in Sunderland. It can fuck off quite frankly, turning up now is no good to any of us. And my train home is delayed. Think my 'saving money' needs to be sacrificed this bank holiday weekend!

[Lineker]

Lol, Ace.

[Colly]

It's weird, seems like its tanked down everywhere but here. Admittedly not dry enough to get me washing out but not bad. Must be the smog.

Really? Then again, Nicholas does talk some utter shit at times.

De Gea had the howler with Vidic (you could blame either of them really), outside of that he was fantastic as he was against Everton. Really cant understand why some pundits have it out for him.

[Colly]

Rats. Need to go back to 4-3-3, playing two up top to let Ba play his favoured position is lovely, but it kills the quality play we had back end of last season.

[IAceI]

Lol, Ace.

I know

[Baddar]

Just caught RVP's goal. Very nice.

Seems the officials have something against Torres (as well as the moronic commentator).

First he's booked for diving, despite not diving. Then he delivers a lovely cross field pass, it's given offside, despite clearly being on. And now he's taken down and the referee decides to ignore it

Edit: AND NOW HE SCORES!

Torres has been shredding Newcastle all match, this is looking very much like the guy we grew accustomed to seeing in 08 and 09.

[Colly]

Tickaboo son. Great hit. Thought the yellow was harsh but the last one he's just ran into Coloccini for no reason looking for a foul. He's better when he's actually trying to do good things clearly.

[Summers]

Can we ban Smokes from the Sports Bar? So frickin' annoying.

Hazard is sublime.

[Colly]

Relatively happy with that, Chelsea were my cheeky bet for champions and I'm becoming more and more convinced as they go along. Move on, and two trips to SJP in four days coming up which I'm really looking forward to.

He does seem to love his smileys.

Just saw Fulham's second. Yes, it's a cock up between De Gea and Vidic but I think that Petric did well to cause such confusion.

From the way Charlie Nicholas was talking earlier, I'd pictured a mix up without any opposition anywhere near them but that wasn't the case. De Gea should be stronger and Vidic looked a bit slow to react but Petric had a clever little lean into De Gea as he jumped which seemed to put him off balance.

Anyway, still a good three points.

[Summers]

Dembele is brilliant.

Also De Gea smashed it. Great game for him despite conceding 2, he made a string of great saves.

[brenchill]

I honestly think most of you must be watching a different De Gea to me. I think he's complete toss. He just looks so unconvincing.

[DavidMarrio]

Seemed that own goal to me was a lack of communication between the keeper and the defender. One of them should be shouting that its theirs, I mean Petric done well making things hard for both of them but Vidic should be shouting for it or De Gea should be shouting for it.

I think De Gea is a great shot stopper but he does have weaknesses, I think with time and experience he'll become a more well rounded keeper.
