Kopitalks Commentary From The New Habour Cafe, along Tanjong Pagar Road, Singapore 

1st Half : Before the match kick off.. 

Johnny (Liverpool Fan) : I bet on Newcastle to win tonight! Did you bet? 

Norman (Newcastle) : Yeah.. I bet on 3 goals for Total Goals. I predict a 2 - 1 Newcastle win tonight. (Smiling) 

At kick off time.. 

Marcus is a Manchester United Fan pretending to be a Liverpool / West Ham Fan. 

Marcus (Man U) : Tommy, I am a West Ham Fan but I am supporting Man U for you tonight. Aren't you happy? Man U will win tonight. 

Tommy (Man U) : No lah, we got 6 key players missing from the team. We won't win tonight. 

During the 1st 24 min.. 

Norman (Newcastle) : (At 0 - 0 after 5 min from kick off) The atmosphere is tense at Old Trafford. 

Marcus (Man U) : The teams will take some time to settle. 

... 

Norman (Newcastle) : Did you see that? Bellamy were pulled back by Brown and the ref won't do anything. The Ref is bias! 

Johnny (Liverpool) : Hmm... the Ref seems to favour Man U. 

On 25th min.. Man U 1 - 0 Newc 

Marcus (Man U) : See? Scholes scored a scorcher from outside the penalty area. I told you Man U will win with my support. 

Norman (Newcastle) : I'm not worried. Newcastle are comeback kings. I am backing them to win 2 - 1. 

On 35th min.. Man U 1 - 1 Newc

Norman (Newcastle) : Goal! Did you see that? What a goal by Bernard, 20 m out. Bernard scored with an attempted cross to Barthez's far post. 

Marcus (Man U) : That was obviously a cross! He got lucky. 

Norman (Newcastle) : Hey, that was a cross-shot by Bernard. The cross had an unpredictable spin that fooled Barthez. Now, we need to score another. (Smiling) 

On 38th min Man U 2 - 1 Newc 

Norman (Newcastle) : Oh no.. Why Newcastle concede a goal so fast after their own equalizer? 

Marcus (Man U) : Told you, right? Man U will win with my support. See how determine was Silvestre to lay the cross for Nistelrooy to head into the goal. Hee.. hee.. now your newcastle can't win by a 2 - 1 scoreline as you have predicted.

... 

Beep.. beep.. Beng Neo (Anti-Man U Fan) messages to Norman : What's the score? My friend bet on 4 goals for Total goals & a Man U win tonight. 

Norman's reply msg to Beng Neo : Man U 2 - 1. Bernard scored a cross-shot to tie the game. Nistel scored a header after good work from Silvestre on the left..

Beng Neo's reply msg : Hey, ask Fergie's team to slow down their game. My friend only want them to score 1 more goal to win his bet. Let the game ends at 3 - 1 can or not? 

On 45th min Man U 3 - 1 Newc

Norman (Newcastle) : Oh gosh.. that was an mis-kick by Forlan.. and Nistelrooy scored with a tap in 6 m from the goal. 

Marcus (Man U) : Oh yes! Man U is good.. Nistelrooy may score a hat trick tonight. 

Norman (Newcastle) : ... (Silence) ... 

Norman msg Beng Neo : 1st Half Score : Man U 3 - 1 Newc. 

End of 1st Half.
