When The Seagulls...
Following Manchester united, waiting for the sardines
Match report: Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United: Little Pea to the rescue. Again
He’s already started to repay his brand new five year contract. Brilliant
When the starting XI was revealed at 11am, I don’t think any United fan would’ve guessed the line-up that Sir Alex had selected. No Rooney, Hernandez or Nani from the off was a big surprise and even though Phil Jones has played in central midfield with Blackburn Rovers it still seemed an odd choice to play him alongside Fletcher in what was a creatively bereft partnership.
What was clear was that Fergie didn’t want another humiliating defeat at Anfield, which was signified by Danny Welbeck riding solo up front. SAF could’ve been pulling a master-stroke with this line-up, especially with Liverpool no doubt training all week to deal with Chicarito and Wazza. Or maybe he just set up not to lose.
Match report: Manchester United 3-1 Chelsea - Much closer than the score suggests
Nani flips out in excitement after his thunderbolt strike
The life of a football fan is a maddening one. Even at 3-0 up I was bobbing around the house with ever increasing nervous energy. You simply can’t take a scoreline for granted in these huge games and United certainly kept the game close with some careless passing and flat-footed defending. But a win is a win, especially against Chelsea.
