Yesterday’s game was a hard fought battle and in the first half Stoke City certainly tried to prove that they are better than what can be called ‘there are 6 or 7 teams who do not deserve to be in the Premier League’ and kept the game open for the first half hour.

But the experience and pure class of ManUtd resulted in another deserved win for the Red Devils, one which brings us to the top of the table for the first time in the 2009-2010 season.

Mark Hughes does!’, but at the same time it is a rather disappointing and scary situation we are living right at the moment. One which could cost us the title if we don’t watch out.
