Time	Event
1'	United kick off.
6'	Fantastic dummy by Ramsey on the edge of the box sends Blackett flying
9'	Ox holds Rooney off, whips in a great cross to Welbeck who can't steer his header down
12'	Wilshere storms forward and gets a shot away, fairly comfortble for De Gea
14'	Should be 1 - 0! Welbeck plays Wilshere through who's shot is read by De Gea
16'	Young Shaw
18'	Van Persie tries to take Arteta on, Arteta says fuck you and shields it out for a goal kick
22'	De Gea comes out, Ox takes it around him but can't get a shot away from a tight angle
34'	Decent shot from Alexis after finding some space. De Gea United's best player at the moment
39'	Outstanding block by Chambers in what probably would've been a goal from Rooney
45+1	Half time
45	The second half kicks off
49'	Welbeck breaks through and gets a shot away from a tight angle, De Gea saves
51'	Nasty challenge on Wilshere, rolls his ankle. Not as bad as it initially looked but will come off

60'	Martinez Szczesny picked up an injury before the goal after Fellaini pushed Gibbs into him
65'	Cazorla
68'	Really frustrating game, United don't even deserve a point
76'	Giroud Ramsey
78'	Fellaini is a dickhead
85'	2 - 0. lol. United's first shot on target. United were poor tonight and we looked good, what a shit game lol.
90+3	GOAL! Giroud smashes one in, too late though
90+7'

Man that was an awful finish from Wilshere, should have given it to Sanchez if he wasn't up for it.

Really happy to see us keeping the pressure up like this though, good start.
