4 Goals. 4 Goals in one half, the second half. Tevez, twice Ronaldo and Rooney.
2 more injuries in the first 30 minutes: Vidic and O’Shea.
3 Penalties not awarded.
Another clean sheet: number 6 in the Prem, number 8 in a row.
Tevez clearly best player on the pitch, closel followed by Ronaldo.
ManU at the top of the table for at least the next 24 hours. I think the lads has given a warning to the other 3 big teams. ManU top favourite for the title again… who’s going to stop this rolling train? High speed train.

I think that’s the perfect resume of today’s game against Wigan.
Live report after the jump.

Birmingham 0 – 1 ManUtd

Ronaldo’s Winner Against BirminghamSorry guys, but work and a rather bad fish and chips have taken best part of me this week, but I’m back now.

Yesterday we played our eight Premier League game of the season, away against Birmingham and we headed to St-Andrews after 5 consecutive clean sheets.
Our line up was a rather conservative one with the usual suspects in the squad. Hargreaves and Neville still weren’t fit enough to play and Nani was not listed. Starting were the same 11 who won 2-0 against Chelsea, Kuszczak, O’Shea, Pique, Saha and Anderson on the bench. Our now classic 5 attackers front line made us dream about finally a monster score this year.

The game itself was rather unspectacular and ManU missed the chance to impose themselves as Champions and crush Birmingham who feature in the second half of the table. More even, Birmingham played rather well and created several chances.

Live Report: ManU 2 – 0 Chelsea

This was exactly what we needed. Fifth win in a row, 2 goals even. Carlos Tevez who scored his first goal for ManU and that at OT, against Chelsea. Good display from our beloved Reds, brilliant and fast, typical ManU football in the first half. Smartly controlled the game without burning too much of energy in the second half. Saha got his penalty, converted and is now ManU’s top scorer with 2 goals.
Chelsea saw Mikell been sent off, rather unjustified. Therefore Joe Cole escaped a red card and certainly 3 games of suspension after a very nasty tackle on Ronaldo.

I’m out here, as I admire the table and see us on second spot now.

Another win. And that’s about everything positive that can be said about today’s game to be honest.
Obviously the 2 week long international break has taken the harmony out of our quick passing game and we surely will have to gear up some if we want to start the Champions League with a positive result.

Again, our defense stood solid, really solid, with Nemanja Vidic, who scored the winning goal in the 84th minute as best performer for ManU today.
Like in almost every other game, again we had several (read: a few) outstanding chances, the best one for Scholes, after a brilliant one-two with Tevez, but Scholes didn’t have the needed killer-instinct today and his volley went over. Tevez himself also had 2 chances, both wide-range shots, but the first time Wessels stood in the way, the second shot went narrowly over.
