REDS v/s RED DEVILS

The AD on ESPN was saying the REDS v/s RED DEVILS and i made a very strong mental note regarding this fixture.I was bang on... on my bean bag... but i was disappointed to see a message on the screen- basically saying" This cable operator has huge amount to pay" so as to justify the placement of the blue color rectangle in the centre of the screen.

I had no other option but to view the match with the grains and box playing their own game.
But before this- when ever i see MAN UTD match i all remember how i got hoooked to them when i say them way back in 90's in their historic match with Bayren Munich. down by 2 goals in last minute and the injury team they scored 3 goals to win some championship... and lo i am UTD fan.

Okeee lets get back to this match Manchester United back to the match which they are playing at the Liverpool Ground.But i was disappointed to see Man Utd without their usual sharpness. But somehow they were fortunate in their Premiership title race after Sir Alex's 10-men snatched a dramatic 1-0 win at Liverpool on Saturday.

United were under pressure for long spells of the second half at Anfield and were clinging on for a point after Paul Scholes was sent off with eight minutes remaining for aiming a punch at Xabi Alonso. (surprisingly it was the devils first RED card) But John O’Shea fired home from close range in the 90th minute after Liverpool goalkeeper Jose Reina spilled Cristiano Ronaldo’s free-kick.

United, who won at Fulham last week thanks to a yet another "late" Ronaldo goal, the whole match can be best put this way- THE worst punch came from Paul Scholes, the sucker punch was thrown by John O'Shea and the knock-out punch landed squarely on Jose Mourinho's over-active jaw. And now they are 12 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea (if the Chelsea looses in their fixtures) and Ferguson has no doubts that his team are getting the rub of the green at the right time. As Sir Alex said "Without question this is a massive result for us & We were very lucky today. Liverpool upset our rhythm a bit and we had a lot of narrowescapes. The Red Devils will be tested as Scholes will now serve a three-match ban and England striker Wayne Rooney could be sidelined with a knee injury suffered at Anfield.
