Re: 9/27 Howard -- Man Utd @ Leicester City {R.} Easy there ... no need to give the soccer gods reason to curse Tim.
Re: Re: 9/27 Howard -- Man Utd @ Leicester City {R.} That's why I said "probable". After a day of braving Ballarat's weather, where you can have all four seasons in a few hours, you try not to tempt fate. But I think it'll be an easy three points for Man Utd... prediction, Leicester 0 Man Utd 3.

does anybody have a direct link to a internet radio that covers the game? The offical utd radio isnt working for me. what is the url of the match on the utd radio?
Voices on Century FM via Man Utd's webcast mentions that Howard didn't have to make a save against Arsenal last weekend.
4th min. - Scowcroft shoots just wide of Howard with the ball going inches wide of the right-hand post. Webcast commentators mentioning that midfield "giving the ball away too early" in the early stages of the match.
9: Nice to see Scholes back in midfield. Scholes 30 yard pass finds Fletcher for an open 20 yard shot, saved by Walker
9th min. - Fletcher tests Walker, but the Leicester makes the save. 11th min. - Howard makes a kick save from Marcus Bent, then gets clattered into by Bent. "Shaky at the back" are the words from the webcast commentators.
14: ManUtd forced to make another backpass to get out of pressure. Howard cleverly dekes the attacker and plays it with his feet. 15: GOAL Keane. Scholes brilliant ball over the top finds KEANE!!! inside the six yard box
1-0, Man Utd, just after the quarter-hour... Keane slots home from short range from Scholes' return pass that cut open the Foxes' defence. Make it 2-0... RVN scores...
Scholes 30 yard shot stopped dead by RVN on the run to the penalty spot. Easy finish. ManUtd has blown this thing apart in 60 seconds. What a game Scholes is having.
It's amazing the difference in ManUtd's attack over the last few weeks with Scholes out of the side and when he is in the side today.
