of Manchester dump Rochdale out of FA Cup” plus 5 more- FC United of Manchester dump Rochdale out of FA Cup - Brazilian Grand Prix: Nico Hülkenberg takes pole position - Park Ji-Sung rescues below par Man Utd against Wolves - Brazilian Grand Prix: Robert Kubica tops final practice - Harry Redknapp laughs off England manager talk - Brazilian Grand Prix: Vettel & Webber dominate first practice FC United of Manchester dump Rochdale out of FA Cup Posted: 06 Nov 2010 12:23 PM PDT Non-league FC United of Manchester, making their debut in the first round, provided the first shock of this year's FA Cup as they dumped Rochdale out of the competition with a 3-2 victory at Spotland on Friday night. FC United, formed in the wake of Malcolm Glazer's takeover of Manchester United in 2005 and wholly owned by their fans, currently sit 15th in the Evo-Stik Premier Division, 95 league places below League 1 Rochdale. The Reds could easily have been a goal down inside a minute, as some flat-footed defending presented the home side with a great chance to take the lead. A few minutes later, the visitors were arguably lucky to not concede a penalty for handball, with referee Geoff Eltringham waving away Rochdale's protests. However as the half wore on, United began to assert themselves, even beginning to run sections of the play. A 0-0 scoreline looked likely at half-time, which would have certainly suited the visitors more than the hosts. However, in the 42nd minute, wide-man Jerome Wright played through Nicky Platt who found himself one-on-one with Rochdale goalkeeper Josh Lillis. Platt kept his nerve and deftly chipped it over him and into the back of the net to put the hosts into an unlikely lead. United had sold their allocation of 3,200 tickets by Monday afternoon, and the goal sparked wild scenes in the packed Wilbutts Lane stand, with some fans spilling on to the pitch during the celebrations. Four minutes into the second half, the noise level from the away fans went up another notch. Ben Deegan—a window manufacturer by day—held up the ball against a pair of Rochdale defenders before receiving a return ball down the left from Mike Norton. Deegan's ball into the box was cleared to Jake Cottrell 20 yards out, who drove the ball hard and high into the Rochdale goal beyond the outstretched hand of the diving Lillis. The 22-year-old Cottrell was plucked from Sunday League football by FC United manager Karl Marginson last season, and went to the same school as another, slightly more famous, midfield goalscorer – Paul Scholes. It took Rochdale just three minutes to get back into the game. United conceded a soft free-kick about 25 yards out. The ball in found its way to an unmarked Anthony Elding who easily nodded past goalkeeper Sam Ashton. A nervy period of the game then ensued, with Rochdale spurning a couple of good chances to snatch an equaliser. United left-back Richard Battersby was forced to clear a shot off the line with 20 minutes to go. It was another set-piece which again proved to be the undoing of the non-league side. A corner from the right was met by the head of Craig Dawson, who drilled a header into the goal, to tie the game with 12 minutes to go. The Dale clearly smelt blood, with manager Keith Hill signalling to fans behind the dugout that he expected a 5-2 victory for his men. For their part, the visitors hung on doggedly following the equaliser, with a replay certainly on the minds of both teams. Then the tie was turned completely on its head. Deep into the fourth minute of injury time, United gained possession of the visitors inside their own half. Jerome Wright took the ball down the outside, before playing an innocuous-looking ball ahead of striker Mike Norton. With a Dale defender covering, and keeper Lillis coming, it looked to pose no danger. Norton refused to give up on it, and as Lillis went down on the ball, it came free. The non-league veteran nicked it away from the keeper, before slotting it into the empty net, wheeling away with his arms aloft. There was an element of controversy about the goal, as replays showed Norton may have knocked the ball out of the goalkeeper's arms. However, Dale's protests were waved away by the officials, with Lillis receiving a yellow card for his troubles. There was barely time for the restart, with the final whistle sparking joyous scenes, with the FC United players being carried off the pitch on the shoulders of their own supporters, with few actually being able to believe what had happened just seconds earlier. FC United now, remarkably, find themselves as the first team in the hat for the Second Round draw on Sunday. The result will have big implications for the club off the pitch as well as on it. The club are currently raising funds to build a 5,000-capacity community use stadium in Newton Heath – where Manchester United began life more than 130 years ago. Brazilian Grand Prix: Nico Hülkenberg takes pole position Posted: 06 Nov 2010 12:11 PM PDT Rookie Nico Hülkenberg stunned Formula 1's championship contenders to secure a sensational pole position for Williams ahead of Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix on a drying track at Interlagos. The 23-year-old German is joined on the front row of the grid by compatriot Sebastian Vettel who won the battle of the Red Bull drivers, as Mark Webber took third ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton in a dramatic finale. Championship leader Fernando Alonso could only manage fifth for Ferrari, hampering his chances of becoming the youngest driver to secure three world championships. The track remained too wet for slicks at the start of Q3, with all 10 drivers completing their first runs on intermediates before Rubens Barrichello gambled with slicks, and Hülkenberg followed suit, timing his run perfectly to ensure he was the last man to cross the line before the chequered flag came out for his flying lap. Hülkenberg traded fastest laps with Hamilton, but a mistake by Alonso on his final run meant Hülkenberg had already secured pole before his final lap. The rookie smashed his own time to finish 1.1 seconds quicker than Vettel with a 1:14.470. Rubens Barrichello was unable to match the grip found in the sister Williams, but completed an excellent day for the team with sixth on the grid at his home race with a time of 1:16.203. Robert Kubica starts seventh, despite an early switch to dry tyres, ahead of four-time winner Michael Schumacher, 2008 winner Felipe Massa and Renault team-mate Vitaly Petrov rounding out the top 10. McLaren's Jenson Button lost out in the Q2 lottery as the drying track provided a drama-fest, and will start 11th with any hopes of retaining his title all but over. Kamui Kobayashi, Nico Rosberg and Jaime Alguersuari start 12th to 14th on the grid, while Toro Rosso's Sébastien Buemi was 15th quickest but takes a five-place penalty because of an incident in the last race. Sauber's Nick Heidfeld took 16th ahead of Force India's Vitantonio Liuzzi in 17th. Q1 offered few surprises despite the conditions, as the two Hispania Racing cars were slowest, with Bruno Senna being out-qualified by Christian Klien at his first home Grand Prix. Virgin Racing won the battle of the new teams with Timo Glock sneaking ahead of Lotus' Jarno Trulli and Heikki Kovalainen with Lucas di Grassi left to follow them home half a second slower than Kovalainen. Hülkenberg's pole position showed just how much of a lottery a bit of rain can bring at Interlagos, and Sunday's race could offer more of the same. Few will expect Hülkenberg to hold off the superior cars behind him, meaning the first few laps will be crucial for the championship leaders to keep out of trouble and make a break for the lead. Park Ji-Sung rescues below par Man Utd against Wolves Posted: 06 Nov 2010 11:56 AM PDT BARCLAYS PREMIER LEAGUE, 6 NOVEMBER 2010 Manchester United 2 Wolves 1 Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was left reeling after his side conceded in the 93rd minute to give Manchester United three points at Old Trafford. The visitors largely limited the offensive trio of Javier Hernández, Gabriel Obertan and substitute Bébé to half-chances. Wolves skipper Karl Henry epitomised his side’s tenacious attitude with his tireless work rate helping to nullify United’s attacking threat. Park Ji-Sung opened the scoring for the home side just before the break only for Sylvan Ebanks-Blake to equalise mid-way through the second half. But deep into stoppage time Darren Fletcher capitalised on Steven Fletcher’s loose ball and sprayed a pass out to Park on the right side of midfield. The South Korean went on a slalom infield before beating Wolves goalkeeper Marcus Hanemman at his near post. An exasperated McCarthy turned away in disgust after his side surrendered what was looking to be a hard-fought point. In truth United were off colour from the very start. Owen Hargreaves made his first competitive start in over two years but only lasted a matter of minutes before limping off with injury. The Old Trafford crowd, perhaps disheartened by Hargreaves’ personal heartache or concerned by the lack of thrust up front with the absence of Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, were largely muted. Park’s opener was the first clear-cut opportunity of the match. Henry, who was influential throughout, failed to track the former PSV Eindhoven midfielder and Fletcher’s superb pass provided Park with a simple finish to give the home fans a welcome boost. Ebanks-Blake, a 64th minute substitute for Stephen Hunt, equalised within moments of entering the fray. Nenad Milijas passed the ball to the feet of Wolves’ forward with his touch creating space and time before poking the ball between the legs of Edwin van der Sar. It was just reward for the endeavours of the away team. Wolves striker Fletcher then spurned the chance to secure a famous victory when he blasted his effort hopelessly over the crossbar from six yards out before Park struck again to grab the winner. The result ensures United approach their crucial derby clash with Manchester City on Wednesday night on a positive note with three victories on the trot following a series of stalemates. Brazilian Grand Prix: Robert Kubica tops final practice Posted: 06 Nov 2010 10:09 AM PDT Robert Kubica was quickest for Renault on a damp track in final practice ahead of qualifying for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos. With heavy rain battering Sao Paulo in the morning, all drivers began the session on extreme wet tyres with Williams' Nico Hülkenberg the first to swap to intermediates as the standing water was washed away. He immediately went almost two seconds quicker than team-mate Rubens Barrichello Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel had dominated free practice on Friday, but the German could only manage second quickest, three tenths slower than the Pole. McLaren's Lewis Hamilton was third quickest, a mere three-hundredths of a second slower than Vettel as the 2008 world champion tested two rear wings, as team-mate Jenson Button opted to run the low downforce set-up throughout the session to finish a lowly ninth, again complaining about the balance of his MP4-25. Local favourite Felipe Massa was fourth quickest for Ferrari ahead of team-mate and championship leader Fernando Alonso after being jumped by Hamilton in the closing stages. Vitaly Petrov was sixth quickest to round off an excellent session for Renault, ahead of Toro Rosso's Sébastien Buemi who again looked confident in the difficult conditions. Nico Rosberg and Barrichello rounded out the top 10. Title-chasing Mark Webber was only 11th quickest in his Red Bull, after completing just six laps and opting to spend the last 20 minutes of the session in the garage. Jarno Trulli was again quickest of the new teams, 1.4 seconds slower than Sauber's Nick Heidfeld and 1.2 seconds ahead of Timo Glock. Harry Redknapp laughs off England manager talk Posted: 06 Nov 2010 05:32 AM PDT Harry Redknapp has been quick to play down talk of him becoming the next England manager. The Tottenham boss had been touted as the “perfect” replacement for Fabio Capello after Euro 2012 by Bolton coach Owen Coyle. Under Redknapp’s guidance Spurs reached the Champions League group stages for the first time in their history this season. Redknapp has played an integral role in turning a club languishing in the relegation zone into a team capable of slaying European champions Internazionale. The 61-year-old admitted he was flattered to be linked with the role but insists he remains focused on the future of the White Hart Lane club. “It’s very nice for him to say that but it’s two years down the line,” said Redknapp in reference to the comments made by Coyle. “You know what this game’s like: you’re flavour of the month this month; next month, they want to bin you. That’s football. “If I’m doing great people’ll talk about me; if I’m not doing well I’ll be out, forgotten. The former Portsmouth manager added: “I appreciate Owen’s comments, for sure, but no one knows where you are in six weeks’ time in this game, let alone two years.” Redknapp has been involved in football management for over 27 years since his first role at Bournemouth in 1983. He has managed West Ham and enjoyed two spells at Fratton Park as well as short stint at Southampton before landing the Tottenham role. Brazilian Grand Prix: Vettel & Webber dominate first practice Posted: 06 Nov 2010 04:59 AM PDT Sebastian Vettel was once again fastest in practice for Red Bull on the first day at Interlagos for the Brazilian Grand Prix as the Austrian team dominated proceedings. The German was the only man to break the 1:12 barrier to set a time of 1:11.968, just a tenth quicker than team-mate Mark Webber. Vettel said: "I think it was pretty good today–of course it’s not the most important thing to be at the top of the timing list today, it’s more important tomorrow and Sunday–but it’s a good start. “The car feels alright, I’m not one hundred percent happy with the balance and think we can improve it, but it’s looking okay." McLaren's Lewis Hamilton had an encouraging day to lap 0.517 seconds slower in the first practice to claim third quickest, but only 0.688 seconds slower in the second practice to take fourth quickest behind championship leader Fernando Alonso, who was two tenths slower than Webber. Hamilton said: "In terms of pure pace in the dry, the Red Bull looks very quick. But a number of factors will play a part in deciding how things pan out in the next two grands prix–weather, engines, reliability–so it's all still up for grabs." Local hero Felipe Massa finished fifth quickest for Ferrari, ahead of Renault's Robert Kubica–the last driver to lap in the 1:12. Kubica said: "Our position looked pretty good in both sessions today but we know from experience that Friday can be misleading, so we need to be cautious. “The main target overnight will be to improve the balance of the car because it was not ideal today–I was struggling with inconsistency and low grip." Jenson Button could only manage seventh quickest for McLaren, 1.2 seconds off the pace, with Sauber's Nick Heidfeld, and Mercedes duo Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher rounding out the top 10. Schumacher said: "I would have wished and expected for us to be closer to the top teams but unfortunately the gap seems to be a little bigger than at the last races. The track itself has improved a lot since I last raced here and the bumps are not really a problem any more. “All in all, we have to see what we can improve for qualifying tomorrow and we will have a deep look into our data now." Rubens Barrichello was best of the rest for Williams, with Kamui Kobayashi coming through a lively session to take 12th, ahead of Nico Hülkenberg. Adrian Sutil, Vitaly Petrov, Vitantonio Liuzzi, and Sébastien Buemi rounded out the all-important top 17. Jarno Trulli was quickest of the new teams, just four tenths slower than Toro Rosso's Jaime Alguersuari, as Lotus Racing enjoyed their best Friday practice of the season. Trulli said: "That was a pretty good day. It’s good to complete so many laps and have no problems at all. When the car feels well balanced, like it did today, you can push around the whole lap and end up where we did, ahead of the other new guys. “We’ve made a few changes to the setup for this weekend and that’s given me more confidence in the car and I think there’s more to come tomorrow." Trulli's team-mate Heikki Kovalainen completed an excellent day for Lotus to take 20th, ahead of Virgin Racing's Lucas di Grassi, Hispania Racing Team's Bruno Senna and Christian Klien, with Timo Glock slowest of all.
