Sunderland 0 Manchester United 4
Sunderland 0 Manchester Utd 4 (Rooney 20, Saha 30, 86p, Ronaldo 45)
Another cold, slap bang in the middle of the Christmas break. It meant I was off work ill, but it also meant I wasn’t able to comment on the Sunderland game in a timely manner.
This was another four goals and a suprisingly easy win over Roy Keane’s side who are now staring relegation in the face. I was pleased for a number of reasons. Saha played from the start and picked up two goals. Park came back from injury and did well when he came on. United were able to rest a number of key players and still won 4-0. Chelsea had a comedy game and drew 4-4 (would that ever have happened under Mourhino?; and what has happened to Cech?). Lastly, Arsenal drew at Portsmouth 0-0 making our draw there at the start of the season not so bad and more importantly taking us to the top of the league.
Next up, away at West Ham, never an easy game for United for some reason. At least they don’t have Tevez and we do. And their home form is very poor at the moment. Just two wins from nine. Lets hope it is two from ten after today.
Update: looks like both Carrick and Rooney are out of the West Ham game with a virus. So the super fit can get ill just like me. cough cough sniff sniff
