Hello and happy Monday folks!!! How was your weekend??? Great, I sincerely hope with more Hari Raya Open Houses and other great stuffs. Mine ended brialliantly. Yesterday especially was a great day. Started off with spending time with my nephews and nieces, had a home cooked Nasi Lemak with them, went for breakfast with 2 angels, head for an open house (tremendous foods), took a nap, went to supermarket with my Mum & niece, wished my sis a Happy Birthday to her and finally rounded off with a great football match with a great result.
Let's head to Old Trafford for an in depth coverage of what happened last night.
United have won five straight league games this term, scoring an impressive 21 goals in the process. It is the club's best start to any top-flight campaign since 1985 — before Ferguson even arrived at Old Trafford — and the boss says he is loving it. Following yesterday's 3-1 win against Big Four rivals Chelsea, Ferguson, 69, said: "I have never had a team before that has opened a season in such blistering form and scored so freely. It is breaking new ground for me — and to say that at this stage of a fairly lengthy career is really something. I'm excited and why not? Because we have been privy to something rather special. Of course, you can't help wondering if it is going to last and, after a lifetime in the game, football has taught me that there is often a banana skin around the corner. I ask myself, 'Will the bubble burst?' But while accepting that our present form is exceptional, I can't help but feel that this season is going to be good for Manchester United. We may find it difficult to maintain the scoring spree that has been such a feature of our Premier League games so far this season. But I believe we will continue to be a handful for our opponents and make a serious championship challenge again."
Fergie added: "The Nani finish was fantastic, unbelievable."
But it was difficult to understand how Chelsea were 3-0 down by half-time having played some great stuff. And had Torres hit the target after pulling the visitors back to 3-1, the Blues might have gone on to rescue a point. The Spaniard was much more like a £50million striker than the 50p one he has looked like since his switch from Liverpool. However, his blunder here is one which will haunt him for many years.
*Torres pulled one back early in the second half*
Torres was so often the thorn in United's side as a Red and, when he went through with seven minutes left latching on to Ramires' pass, he got most of the job right. He cleverly switched the ball from his right foot as he skipped round David De Gea but, with the goal gaping, he somehow shot wide from six yards.
Robert Earnshaw can rest easy. His howler for Wales against England has been relegated to second place in the miss of the season contest. Torres has it in the bag.
*Even Rooney fluffed his penalty wide*
As the final whistle blew Rooney went over to Torres, put an arm round his shoulder and whispered in his ear. Wonder what he said — thanks for sharing the embarrassment perhaps?
