Fair Scoreline

I managed to catch the last few minutes of the earlier Arsenal-Norwich game and it was a good one. It was end-to-end, with can Persie scoring a couple of late goals to bring the Arsenal up 3-2, only to see the lead cancelled out by a late goal. The 3 all score line was a fair one even though Arsene Wenger would have thought otherwise.

So, next would be the FA Cup Final. But I would need to get the admissions sorted out first.

Not According to Plan

We were crushing and I thought the three points were in the bag. But Everton had other ideas and we panicked. We were dismantled and taken apart defensively, and that was mighty disappointing.

It was a proper football game and Everton, galvanised by Philip Neville put up a great fight. And that Felliani was useful as well. Ferdinand definitely struggled to cope with him aerially.

All is not lost though. We have to go to Citeh and beat them at their own turf. Well, that is what we had to do now ..... Bring on next Monday. I'll be watching - since the next day would be a Public Holiday of course .....

Big Kick-off

Big game tonight. United playing Everton at home. Not spoken to my true blue friend Adri as yet. A lot at stake. More for us than Everton with Man Citeh kicking off later tonight away to Wolves. A must win game this.

As usual, went out to get tandoori and naan bread for everybody. Kicking off in an hour and a bit ..... Will blog later after the match!

Back to Football

I decided to start my afternoon rounds slightly earlier, to make time for the take-out and football. I had a quick nap an woke up with a banging headache. Not amusing.

Anita went to do a bit I groceries next door at Wangsa Walk while I waited for the order. Tandoori and mee ladna as usual. Man United would be playing Wolves this evening, and after the disappointment of Bilbao, was expected to crush the opposition. So, hopefully we could get ourself sorted out on the field. We couldn't afford any more slip up.

The Two Uncles

Uncle Scholesy and Uncle Gigssy! Class act. Although truth be told, I can't complaint if Norwich were to get something from the game. They really played well. Nice flowing football although a bit robust at the beginning.

We were indebted to the brilliance of De Gea who has slowly but surely trying to cope with the physical side of the English game. But the equaliser was a long time coming. It was just a question of when. Luckily, United managed to find a couple of gears after the goal and was getting closer and closer.

The equaliser was a sucker punch. A cross field ball from Ashley Young, and creeping on the back stick was the veteran playing his 900th game for United. Typical United. Getting the winner in the 92nd minute. As the saying goes, United never lose a game, we just ran out of time ....
