Mark Goldbridge's prediction lands at 17:01 of The United Stand's Bournemouth watchalong: Manchester United 3, Bournemouth 0. He got the score exactly right. He just had it facing the wrong way.
The full stream drew more than 1.3 million views in its first ten hours. Its comment section filled at more than twice the pace of the channel's usual long stream, and a lot of that conversation keeps returning to the same timestamp.
The forecast is the odd part, because Goldbridge spends the opening minutes making the case against it. Carrick has dropped Bruno Fernandes. Mason Mount is on the left wing. Diogo Dalot starts after a poor night against Como. "It's just a survival team," Goldbridge says, before turning to Bournemouth's attacking front four with real concern. He is also annoyed that United supporters arrive at Old Trafford nervous about this opponent at all: "It's bloody Bournemouth, lads!"
Even the optimism has a catch. A win, he says, would not fix the club's deeper problems: "I'm happy we've won, but it changes nothing."
Once the match starts, the complaints get specific. He criticizes Dalot's positioning and United's sloppy opening, and he loses his temper when Dalot shoots from long range instead of crossing. By halftime he has decided that even a scrappy victory would only delay Carrick's exit. The stream also includes a sponsored prize-competition segment.
Viewers post the times of all three Bournemouth goals. Others recall the channel's September Stick to United episode with Wayne Rooney, titled "Carrick Gone By Christmas?", and joke that the deadline arrived early. By evening the channel had moved on to the aftermath, with a match reaction calling for Carrick and director Jason Wilcox to go.
