Man Utd away. What was the score? Lost 2-0
Ok so that's that little run of games over and done with. 4 points, each unexpected, from 12. Not a bad return at all when you consider in that period West Ham gained 1 and Wigan, who are playing tomorrow 3. Sheffield United meanwhile have moved to 10 points clear of us and to profit four wins on them is a big ask. I have my beady eyes on Man City though, who are dropping quickly. Watford are still fighting and today was a massive win and another blow to Curb's side and their expectant fans. The game between us in two weeks is beyond colossal.
I only know what I've read as I've been walking the streets of Buenos Aries today but it sounded like another battling and undaunted performance with Rommedahl getting some encouraging reviews as well as the new boys Bougherra, Song and ZZ. And heartening words from
Sir Alex Ferguson too.
Tomorrow I will get my football fix by attending the
River Plate v LanĂºs game here at 5.10pm.
