Man Utd vs Schalke
A great win for Utd, we punished Schalke from the first whistle and never looked like conceding. After the first half I'm sure every Utd supporter was raging with frustration at our dominance without scoring, Neuer was amazing and really bummed we haven't managed to sign him for next year as he looks like a real deal replacement for Van 'The Man'. If it wasn't for Neuer's brilliance we would have score five goals I'm sure. In the end we did score and it was the great Giggsy who placed the ball through Neuers legs after Rooney drew three opposition player and fed a brilliantly weighted through ball. Rooney then scored a goal himself after much the same from Hernandez. The Man Utd team is firing on all cylinders now and I'm really please we got all our big games now that we on top form so bring on Arsenal, bring on Chelsea and bring on Real or Barce.

Man Utd vs Newcastle
Poor poor finishing cost us the game again. Man Utd created more clear cut chances then Ive seen them create the whole season but couldn't find the back of the net, every chance fell straight into the hands of Tim Krul or went wide. Besides for the opening 15 min of the game Utd dominated with chance after chance being created and missed. There were 3 appeals for a Utd penalty and 1 for Newcastle although i don't believe Hernandez appealed for the last penalty claim that he received a yellow card for, for diving, so don't know why he got a card. Anyway i think Newcastle and Man Utd both had a legitimate penalty turned down, so karma there. Newcastle produced a good display for 15 min but weren't able to create much as it took Utd a bit of time to settle, they had 4 corners in that time and had a half chance here and there but their quality of finishing was lacking. Hernandez and Rooney had a great understanding between them and i think this partnership is going to thrive. Utd 1 touch football was amazing and although we didn't win the positives were there to be seen.

FA Cup Semi
Man Utd lost this weekend end to Man City which has had me so pissed off that i haven't been able to comment until now. Any the game was good, not great just good. Berbatov could have and should've had Utd up by 1 goal in the opening minutes but a great save from Hart denied him when he was one on one with goal keeper, i still think he should've scored though and some how managed to kick the ball over the net when it was easier to score. I really cant forgive him right now. Besides for that opening spell Utd were second best the whole game Scholesy and Berba were poor for me the whole game and we couldn't get control of the ball for more than a second. Man City were definitely the better team in the game and deserved to win. As much as they deserved to win it was a very poor piece of defending by Carrick, gifting the ball to Toure for a great finish. I would have loved to see Ando start as its extremely hard to seal with the pace of Toure and De Jong. Utd had there chances in the final minutes to grab a goal but unfortunately we failed to do so and can look forward to Champions League and The Premier League. Last time we lost in the FA Cup Semi we won the League and Champs so come on Utd. As for Balotelli what a tool.

The sprint to the finish has started.
Another great win for Utd this week, ever question Chelsea posed was answered by a Utd team on top form. Ferdinand and Vidic kept Torres and Anelka quiet all game while Carrick gave Lampard no space to move in. Giggsy was amazing over the two legs and set up all three of Utd goals. The whole season has been great to see a team full of young and old players gelling so well together, Arsenal just young and don't have B.M.T. which comes from experience, Chelsea all old and don't have the legs to carry them anymore while Utd its just about perfect. Players like Carrick and O'shea are coming back into form and its no surprise that this has happened at the same time Valencia, Ferdinand and Park have come back from injury. Man Utd have missed those players all season due to injury, those players including Rooneys current rise in form has taken an under performing team into top gear. Thank goodness we on top form now as we have a string of HUGE games coming up and will need our full squad fit and determined for those games. The likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City are all battling now as there players are tiring now due to the end of the season and have had to play in the majority of their matches, where Man Utd have been rotating players all season due to injuries and our huge squad. Valencia, Park and Ferdinand have basically only started their seasons now and are fresh as ever, while players like Owen and Hargreaves could come in at any time to boost our team. Berbatov's been rested for a while and now that Rooneys been band he can also get much needed rest. I believe the seasons end is going to be a cracker. I wont put my money on us winning the TREBLE just yet but we are in an awesome position to do it.

Week Wrap
Haven't Posted for a while. But my golly what a week. I have to say well done to Man Utd for the amazing comeback against West Ham with Rooney back to top form, but what a chop for swearing into the camera. The game against Chelsea was really good also, we attacked so well. I get disappointed when we score and go into defencive mode. Chelsea are a brilliant team and if you defend for long enough they will punish you as they nearly did on plenty occasions. I would rather us attack them more and hopefully we get a goal or they get less time on the ball to attack us. I'm very pleased to see Brown, O'Shea and Ando (scored twice for our reserves) coming back from injury. Ferdinand is back and even though hes been out for two months slipped straight back into the team with no fuss. Eva on the other hand had a disastrous game, probably his worst game for United and was very lucky not to concede a penalty. As for the league, i think after Chelsea and Arsenal drawing this weekend, United have the league wrapped up. The FA cup against Man City's gonna be tuff without Rooney but i think we'll take it, we just want to win more than any other team out there.

A Great Weekend
When all Man Utd supporters were starting to become a little anxious Arsenal go and give us a huge life line by drawing 2-2 with West Brom. a louesy piece of goal keeping allowed Odemwingie to slot the ball past Almunia gifting Man U a 2 point cushion. I really don't have a clue what was going through the Arsenal keepers mind as Squillaci definitely had the ball covered and I'm 99.9% certain that Odemwingie was never gonna create a chance from that position and as for Aaron Ramseys 2 yard miss, what a shocker.
Again United win it late but i feel we created enough chances to finish it off earlier in the game with Rooney again pulling all the strings with his new free role. Berba, Hernandez, Nani and Rooney had good enough chances to score and it was only a matter of time one would go in. Jaaskelainen pulled off a number of great saves and with so many attempts at him, their would be one that he couldn't hold. For a team in injury crisis i feel things are going pretty well. Arsenal are missing 2 defenders and look hopeless. Oh and we playing badly this season.
Liverpool, well 5th place is all they can look forward to an I'm not to sure they gonna find many classy players who don't wanna play Champions League football. So good luck for next year. This great run of 20 points from 10 games is all good but you would still only be in 2nd place if you had kept it up all season.
I though Man City were crap they spent 30 Million Pounds on Dzeko who i feel has one of the worst touches in the world Silva is there only attacking player without Tevez and he has no one to pass to as 9 of the 11 players on Man Citys team don't cross their own half. Chelsea played well but are no where near there best when Torres plays, hes got absolutely no work rate and doesn't even look like he wants to score. I do feel that as soon as Lampard is injured or missing Chelsea are half the team and that a huge worry for them.

Injury Returns
Injury returns. Just some news on players coming back. Obviously Valencias back which is a massive boost but Ando(Probably one of our best players this year) and Hargreaves are apparently training well. So hopefully we'll have a fully fit team soon.
