The Devil In Me

I would love to know more about the Danish language. The last time I saw the letter ‘a’ written ‘Aa’ I was in primary school. But our opponents on Tuesday night like it so much they have written it twice into their club’s name. Perhaps this is an attempt to improve the literacy of their players, if so - Wayne Rooney’s speech therapist please take note.

What was not in doubt is that these guys were expecting to be a taught a footballing lesson, and United were supposed to be the ones holding the chalk. It is true to say that any 3 nil win away in Europe is a decent result but as Mattybonce has said, this was a far cry from 1998 when we put the dunce cap on Bronby during our 6-2 rout in the same country.

       Dimitar Berbatov

Berbatov is the Steven Seagal of football, never does he have a hair out of place, nor a bead of sweat on his forehead, but he is completely and utterly lethal if he wants to be. Not since Big Norm’s chunkier years have I seen a United player stand motionless, hands on hips as often as he does, it is like he is waiting for a bus sometimes. On the plus side, he is amazing at making space for himself, and from the looks of things tonight he can play a mean through ball.

There was a growing suspicion at the start of the year that this was going to be a big season for Anderson. It is going to have to be now because Scholes is rather seriously crocked. I think he is up to the job but he has looked a little off the pace so far this season.

Next up the mighty lambs of Blackburn, time to release our wolves. Tevez, it is time to score.
