It's Alright

Here's the goals from yesterday's victory -



Some longer highlights here -
Didn't get a chance to watch the game, due to work, but from people on Twitter I got the impression that it was a good performance, and comfortable win. I could tell it was comfortable because, after Villa, scored there wasn't the usual panic that we were going to collapse, everyone remained confident, because the performance inspired it. Anyway, VDS showed great vision for the first, and Rooney's finish was great, certainly not the finish of a man out of form. Chris Foy turned a penalty appeal down for a Dunne foul on Nani that looked very similar to the one Blackpool claim they should have had last week against Rafael - proving - yet again - that we don't get all the decisions. The commentator ridiculously says "quite unusual for Manchester United not to get a penalty at Old Trafford..." Fairly sure we've had only 5 penalties this season - compared to Arsenal's 14 (these stats from memory, apologies if they're wrong), and when Bent runs into one of our players later he suggests the ref is evening things up *whispers "can we have Andy Gray back now please..."* Nani''s cross for the second was quality and Rooney finished it well. Nani at the centre of a lot of attacking play if these highlights are anything to go by. Vidic's was some strike - not going to see many balls better hit than that.
All in all seemed like we were looking back to our attacking best, could have been a lot more comfortable if Friedel hadn't been having one of those games.
