I'm more worried that Carrick is on the pitch

He's done it a few times, not quite in such a big game as this though.

It's them boots Wayne. Oh well, hope it doesn't matter.

35 seconds gone and it's 3-1.

When Jonny Evans hit the crossfield ball, Nani was on his way back from an offside position, just. But it was offside.

Of course this luck, and good form will run out eventually but I'm sure as hell going to enjoy it while it lasts. Still a bit worried about our defending though. 14/1 on Utd to win 5-0. Now that's pushing our luck a bit too far.

Okay so the second goal was offside aswell. Nevermind.

NANI! WHAT A STRIKE!

United's defending (or lack there of, more specifically) is worrying me.

DE GEA! Well done that man, he could've given up when Torres squared the ball but he didn't, he tried his best to get across and got his reward. Nice to see the Schmeichel's in the crowd aswell cheering the lad on.

United: De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Evra, Young, Fletcher, Anderson, Nani, Rooney, Hernandez Subs: Lindegaard, Fabio, Giggs, Carrick, Park, Valencia, Berbatov Chelsea: Cech, Bosingwa, Terry, Ivanovic, Cole, Ramires, Lampard, Meireles, Sturridge, Mata, Torres Subs: Turnbull, Luiz, Romeu, Mikel, Malouda, Anelka, Kalou Oh and £55m on Carroll and Henderson looks to be money well spent.

I don't think it was. I'm sure Chiles mentioned her name but I hadn't heard of it. He was probably wrong though

De Gea will start on Sunday. And the ITV interviewer holds her own against SAF

Luisao is MOM by a country mile.

Well they were 1-0 down.

Giggs is still having a poor game, aside from the goal and our other best chance. I'm being serious Carrick is useless, can't run, is too weak and can't pick a pass tonight, useless all round. Shame to see Valencia come off because I think he's been our best player. Good to see Chicharito come on though to give us another attacking option, I'll be happy with a point though. Lindegaard has done okay, good save in the 2nd half but distribution is poor. Hope De Gea plays against Chelsea. Oh and City are 1-0 down

Aslong as it's not Ashley Young or Phil Jones I'll be happy.

This game won't restart. Too much rain and we're running out of time.

Not as bad as it could've been and I hope he can recover well like Welbeck

The tackle on Cleverley isn't awful to look at, just a bit of a silly one that was never going to end well. Such a shame for Cleverley though, he'd started the season so well, I hope it's only severe bruising. Onto the match, we were very good but we were helped by how bad Bolton were. I can't quite believe our start so far this season but I'm certainly not complaining. Oh and another clean sheet for David De Gea. Well done son, very few would've predicted that before today I reckon but I'm delighted for the young lad, it'll help his confidence no end.

He did yeah but still. Ferdinand and Evans isn't exactly a physically strong pairing, both good on the deck but in the air? Ferdinand is a beast, bigger and stronger than Jones. I probably would have had Smalling at right-back though. Taller maybe, but stronger? Disagree.

Sturridge isn't on the pitch anymore

Check Starv's original post. Smalling is on the bench.

Any news on the bench mate? Was hoping Fletcher might be available for this game to give us some bite in the middle of the park to let Cleverley play. Glad to see Fergie stick with De Gea, hope he plays well now. EDIT: No Fletcher. Jones at RB? What a waste. He's been great at CB so far and would be better at coping with Davies than Rio will be. Plus, Smalling has been awesome on the right so far, why change it?
