| WHAT a game and WHAT an atmosphere. Thats by far the best atmosphere
Ive heard at a game. ALL the chants were being sung from 'We'll never die',
to 'Follow, follow to Moscow' to Ole's and Cantona's, 'calypso', 'United Road'
a whole host of them.
The first half was amazing, especially Tevez's goal and Ronnie's 1st.
Even Ashton's goal got clapped in the Stretty and it was some goal to be fair.
Tevez got a hero's ovation from the Hammers fans, which was nice to see.
Nani was a complete idiot......he has gone WAY down in my estimation now.
Disgraceful baheviour and he deserves to be banned.
The crowd got a bit nervy then and were apprehensive going into the 2nd half.
The sending off prevented any hope of a complete thrashing of West Ham,
but we made it safe with the Carrick goal to the lovely chant of '10 men We've
only got 10 men' a la 'Blue Moon'.
Back to the football and I thought Ronaldo and Tevez were magnificant.
Ronnie bagged his 40th goal of the season. I sat there in disbelief trying
to figure out how on earth he scored that many.
Tevez really put it about once again. I dont think there is a harder working
footballer in the Premiership. He chased lost causes and ended up winning
back possession. His goal was a corker and he deserved it.
I think even the West Ham fans smiled a bit after that bullet.
A special mention to Wes who was immense once again, though maybe at
fault on one occasion.
He cleared everything all afternoon long. I thought the back 4 were excellent.
And 'Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs running down the wing' WOW.
Great cameo and he showed he could still torment defences. He nearly made
2 goals with some excellent runs and passing. Great to see some life in the old
dog yet.
Scholes was masterful as usual but Id have slight concerns over Carrick's
recent form and of course Nani who was a disgrace.
All in all an excellent day, Fergie made a speech at the end of the game, the
players did the lap of honour saluting the fans, who were amazing today and
stayed behind. It was a lovely sunny day as well, which always makes things
better :-) |
