Chance for Dorrans to get himself a transfer today, which seems to be what he wants, but he needs to impress. #wbaby pennwba via twitter 12/29/2012 3:00:17 PM -

Dzeko has got his second for City. Why is he constantly left on the bench?

Gareth McAuley do OG again. Looks like awkward week for him #MUFC #UNITEDby awdyrizky via twitter 12/29/2012 3:14:18 PM -
13- All 11 West Brom players are in their half happy to defend for now. If they concede a second then it will surely be too much for them to come back from
-
Kagawa looks like he's never been away. Lovely on the eye #mufcby kevwright_ via twitter 12/29/2012 3:15:25 PM -
16- West Brom players getting very frustrated with the ref. He is giving them nothing at the moment.

18- Welbeck is playing brilliant so far. He is doing rings around the defenders. Dont be surprised if he scores today
-
19- The Baggies seem to be feeling sorry for themselves. They have been on the ref's back since the start but they have no choice but to get on with it. It's more frustration with their own play rather than the ref
-
I do not understand how welbeck gets in the team over hernandez we will end up losing him and he is class #MUFCby Craig Olive via twitter 12/29/2012 3:20:40 PM -

22- Long gets a cross in but there's noone in sight. It's going to be a long day for Brom you feel.
-
23- There are goals to be scored at Old Trafford today. United have already condceded 298 goals in all competitions this season, as opposed to West Brom's 23.
-
24- Neat play by Kagawa allows Carrick to take a pop but easily blocked and cleared
-
25- 19 year old George Thorne is making his debut today for the baggies. He is getting stuck in but seems to be slightly confused where he is at times.
-
27- Van Persie has just been shown on the bench looking very unhappy. If the score stays the same, he surely wont be involved this afternoon.

Rodriquez has restored the lead for Southampton at Stoke
Stoke 1-2 Southampton -
what a player bale would be if he stopped divingby GerardONeill10 via twitter 12/29/2012 3:28:15 PM -
29- Danny Welbecjk seems to enjoying his return immensely today. His movement is top-class. No wonder he has recently signed a 4 year contract.
-
30- Kagawa plays a ball out to Welbeck on the left side of the box. He crosses the ball in for Young but he heads it well over. Just a few inches too high.

Would not want to go into a 50/50 with Vidic!!#Mufcby Macca via twitter 12/29/2012 3:31:18 PM
