The 2011/12 Gary Speed Memorial Thread

[Lineker]

You're not Lineker!

QPR: Cerny, Gabbidon, Bothroyd, Faurlin, Mackie, Traore, Connolly, Barton, Young, Helguson, Wright-Phillips .

Subs: Kenny, Orr, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Campbell, Smith.

Manchester United: de Gea, Evra, Jones, Ferdinand, Evans, Rooney, Smalling, Carrick, Nani, Welbeck, Valencia.

Subs: Lindegaard, Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Young, Fryers.

Referee: Mr H Webb (S Yorkshire).

Off to the Lane later. Fairly confident that we'll get a result over Sunderland but the O'Neill factor could end up inspiring them. Who knows.

[Lineker]

Jesus, one-nil already. Valencia crossing for Rooney to head home in under a minute.

[Starvinho]

Decent first half but I think we'll be needing a second goal at some point.

[Baddar]

A superb attacking display in the first half. Young will need to perform when he gets back in the side to stay there, because Nani and Valencia are at it again, like early last season.

A bit complacent towards the end - as Jordan has said, we'll need a second goal because the equaliser has started to look more and more likely. It could easily have been 4 or 5 though, so I'm not worried about creating more chances.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Decent would be an understatement, we've been bloody brilliant.

Game should be done by now really, could of had four or five right now. Pressed them really well to stop them creating a great deal and we've looked great going forward.

Do need to get another though, as it'd be gutting if QPR managed to grab a goal and level this game up, because we should be well clear right now.

[Starvinho]

Michael Carrick! What a fucking goal!

[Starvinho]

Great performance, just hope Arsenal can do us a big favour later on now.

[brenchill]

Keeper should have thrown his hat on that Carrick shot. Very poor goalkeeping.

[Baddar]

I think Cerny expected Carrick to play Rooney in, so took a step to his left. Still should've saved it. Top of the league until at least 6pm though!

[Gazz]

Can someone get Pepe Reina a hammock for the afternoon so he can have a siesta.

[Jimmy]

Heskey starting up front should be a hoot.

[Baddar]

Oh dear, Villa are fucking shit.

[brenchill]

Fucking hell.

We are DREADFUL from set pieces. This could be 6 or 7.

[brenchill]

Players always score against their former club.

But not Heskey.

[Lineker]

Oh Villa.

[brenchill]

Suarez was so unlucky with that effort. That would have been masterful.

[Hobo]

Suarez hits the woodwork twice with what would've been fantastic goals. It's only a matter of time before Liverpool get a third. I'd say.

[Lineker]

Lennon has done a hamstring and has been replaced by Pav. 4-4-2 with VDV on the right. Not a good game this.

[Lineker]

As I post that Wickham looks to have done his knee again.

[The Future]

Can McLeish go away? watching a once exciting Villa team in this state is just urgh.

Important win for United today, Jonny Evans was unlucky to not get two goals surprised Berbatov didn't get a game even though we took Welbeck and Rooney off his confidence must be absolutely shattered. One thing that's been worrying me is Patrice Evra's form it's been declining rapidly and he gets skinned by really average players nowadays.

Hope Arsenal do us a favor and take something from City
