Welcome to Manchester United, Memphis Just Memphis: The 21-year-old footballer formerly known as Memphis Depay scored his first two goals for Manchester United, turning a 1-0 early deficit to Club Brugge in a Champions League playoff Tuesday into a crucial lead for the home side. Man U won 3-1 and will be sitting pretty in Bruges next week. Memphis could've had a third after being set up at point blank range by a sublime back-heel from Wayne Rooney, but he sent the shot skyward.
That second goal brought back some bad memories.

I didn't see it, as I was watching Ipswich go top of the Championship.
Being top with 43 games to go is essentially meaningless, but I don't care.
We also played rcade's sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.

Yes, you did. I listened to the game on Player and I'm still not quite over it. And now Wednesday plays on Wednesday, which surprisingly enough is not a day they historically play well.
Did you know we have the full Ipwich match video on our Player archive? It's weird the match seems to be missing from yours.

Our Player very rarely has full matches in it. It's why I stopped paying for it. Maybe I should pay for yours instead.

Full match replays only became a regular thing this year when SWFC began marketing it as "PlayerHD."

Three draws to start the season, so we're UNDEFEATED!
Unfortunately we've also lost one starting XI player per game, each of them out for months. If this keeps up...

Owlhouse: Try logging in to the SWFC player. I could successfully log in at Ipswich.

Marouane Fellaini on the last goal was brilliant. He was on both ends of Memphis' cross -- setting up the player who passed to Memphis, then sprinting into the box for a great fro-powered header that froze the keeper, giving Man U a crucial two-goal lead going into the second leg.
