Ok, it looks like SAF is viewing this match as a reserves match. I’m cool with that. Maybe we can get up 1-0 early and make them have to bring in Ronaldo. Or maybe, we wear them down and they lose to Porto next week. I’d hope so. Man U can’t win the quintuple. That’s not right.

First Half

Ricky needs to show why he has the manager job. No screwing up. We need this win in the worst way. Don’t be afraid, ATTACK! Now I know that’s easier said here in Buffalo NY than at the ground, but I want a win, dang it.

And can Man U get rid of those stupid Blue kits? They’re almost as bad as the Chelsea yellows. And speaking of yellow, Rooney’s boots are the colour.

I’m not watching this, only listening to it, so I won’t be able to tell if the refs are scared of SAF. But I’ll guess they are.

Neville booked for diving? What you mean Man U can do something wrong? Apparently, they can.

Damit, 1-0 Man U Paul Scholes. Damit. Damit. We need a keeper. Dangit.

As the match summarizer has been mentioning a lot, we need set piece practice. To the Black Cats credit, they’ve been getting a number of shots on Ben Foster (not a bad keeper). Just hopefully they can get one or two through. And there has almost been an own goal, why can’t Man U look stupid?

Half time 1-0. We aren’t playing that bad. We might not lose!!!!!!!! Now into the changing rooms for half time talk.

2nd Half

We have more attempts on goal than Man U? And they are winning? Huh, this team needs finishing training. Come on Black CATS!!!!!!!!!!!

KENWYNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Jones equalizes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry I got alittle too excited here, but this is a good thing). Can we beat them?

From the SAFC website:
55 mins: Goal Sunderland 1 Manchester United 1 Tainio goes past park down the left and crosses, Jones’ header is stopped by Foster but the striker hooks in the rebound. And now SAF brings on Ronaldo. Great, the worlds greatest flopper is on.

Can these commentators stop gloating about the Man U youngsters? It’s not like they are the only team who has youngsters.

Damit, 2-1 Man U, Michael Carrick. Damit, 15 minutes left.

Err, sorry 76 mins: Goal Sunderland 1 Manchester United 2 Carrick’s shot from 20 yards is gling wide when Macheda sticks out his foot and turns it past Gordon.

Handball by Man U? Oh wait, when it comes to the end of matches they don’t do anything wrong.

Fourth defeat in a row, but still outside the drop zone. The lads played well, probably the best in a long time.

Man of The Match – Kenwyne Jones.
