This bartender isn't getting many tips today.

Pretty strong lineup for our game with Roma:

Jones, Kelly, Skrtel, Coates, Enrique, Lucas, Allen, Coutinho, Borini, Lambert and Ibe

Subs: Ward, Agger, Henderson, Can, Suso, Coady, Phillips, Robinson and Peterson

Always thought Ibe was around Sterling's size but he looked huge stood next to Allen and some of the other players during the minutes silence

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Oh joy, Borini injured and subbed

Edit: My stream's working fine yet Dean Saunders keeps stuttering.

This BT Sport commentary is absolutely shocking. Christ.

It's annoying you have to have it full screen to get the max quality.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

I can't decide whether Dean Saunders is absolutely hilarious or absolutely dreadful. He's like the Alan Partridge of football commentary.

'These top players, the difference between the players at the top.. at the top, is the speed of thought, is the difference'

WTF?

 

[Robbo]

Yeah, it's a constant stream of poorly delivered, hilariously obvious remarks.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Pretty poor half of football but decent performances from Coates, Coutinho and Ibe again. Kelly and Enrique have been poor and Lambert, Allen and Can have all been anonymous so far.

Must win game according to Saunders though so expect more in the second half.

 

[Robbo]

Hahaha!

"He doesn't look as if he's dislocated his shoulder, but he might have just popped something out..."

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

WTF was that meant to mean?

'Before a game starts the ref often tells you to take a player off before he brings one on'

 

[Robbo]

No idea.

 

[Purdy]

'You don't see that often nowadays, a goalkeeper taking a goal kick and hitting it down the pitch'

Wat

 

[Robbo]

Comedy gold this commentary.

 

[Purdy]

Damn that was a nice hit

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

His story about meeting Ian Rush for the first time and learning about anticipation was genius in the first half.

Edit: 'Biggest weapon as a defender is your voice'

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

1-0 Roma

 

[Robbo]

This commentary has been far more entertaining than the game.

Own goal too.

 

[twist3d0n3]

Dull game, that. Hoping United fare better in a bit

 

[Purdy]

I don't know why I never learn with pre season games, they always suck and aren't worth watching

 

[Robbo]

Team confirmed:

De Gea, Smalling, Jones, Evans, Valencia, Fletcher (c), Herrera, Shaw, Mata, Welbeck, Rooney
