Anfield glory

I can not believe what i have witnessed. United going to Anfield playing poorley (again) but another late show bringing us another 3 points closer to the title. The hero again was VanDerSar in goal. The save he made from Crouch with about 5 minutes to go kept us in with a snith, and it seems that if you give us that this season, we will bite your hand off. Ronaldo with the perfect freekick, and the unlikley hero of Jonny O'Shea there to score the most vital of goals in stoppage time. To be honest, we were poor again. Scholes and Carrick didnt really get into the game enough and we looked like creating nothing up front. The ever-so reliable Vidic seemed to go back to his form of last season, and looked shakey. Luckly Bellamy didnt have enough quality to take advantage of his mistakes. The main player who shone for me was Rio Ferdinand. He just seems to be a big game player, and most importantly for me, does against Liverpool. The big down point was Scholes getting sent off for a stupid half hearted punch at Alonso, and we will be out for our next three games. Rooney is a doubt for Lille on Wednesday after picking up a knock. All eyes are now on Chelsea away, april 15th the penciled date. However due to the possibilty of both clubs being in the FA cup semi-finals, the fixture is more than likley to be re-arranged. Although im excited by that fixture there are important must-win games before that. Bolton and Blackburn at home are must wins, and we no neither side will come to Old Trafford and lay down. Middlesborough away in the FA cup will be interesting tie, and hopefuly fergie will play his best side. It will Larson's last game for us, which is a shame, as i think hes been a revelation since arriving. On the injury front Ole is out for a month, after more surgery on his knee, and Fletcher is out for 2 weeks.

The Treble is still on.
