Well people, I’m sure a lot of you are back at work for the first time in over a week. I thought it was important to get back into the swing of writing on the blog again after a brief holiday break. Anyhow enough of the subtleties let’s get onto th3e important stuff…. United.
It was 2 points dropped yesterday as a dogged Newcastle scored 2 fantastic goals to ensure the score was 2-2. united were dominant as expected, with Scholes getting on the Score sheet twice to bring United from behind to lead 2-1. It was a wonder goal from debutant Edgar that soured our day and allows Mourinho to close the gap to 4 points, should they beat Aston Villa tonight.
United for all their domination couldn’t find that late winner. Solano was on hand to provide a last minute clearance off the line allowing his team to get a valuable point for the maggies. All credit should be given to Newcastle for their performance with no less than 16 first team players out with injury, they stood up well even if United did have 20 shots on goal.
Other results this Christmas have been favourable. Despite the loss at West Ham, performances have been of the highest standard. Fergie has rotated the team to full effect, meaning all players have remained fresh and raring to go at a congested time in the fixture list.
In transfer news, it has been surprisingly quiet, the tabloids are not reporting with the usual hype that we have come to expect over recent years. The only real development (as if we didn’t already know) is that Fergie will make another move for Hargreaves as his leg is recovering well. We know there is money to spend, but who should we spend it on?
Finally the arrival of Laarson and Rossi means we have great strength up front, defence is looking good as well, I guess our only real weakness is in midfield, but the picture there is all the more rosy than I first though at the start of the season. Park has provided welcome relief for the wingers and has been bright for the most part.
Well that’s it form me for today.. It’s great to be back writing on the blog again, hope you all had a fantastic new year!
P.S here is a brief insight into the United behind the scenes, it’s from the dressing room of united after they won the carling cup! Enjoy
