United played Burton Albion last night in the 3rd round FA Cup replay. United won 5-0 and overall played well. Rossi was easily the man of the match setting up a couple goals and scoring 2.
Burton did really well over the 2 matches. In the first 5 to 10 minutes of the match last night, they were the better team and I was preparing myself for another frustrating game. Thankfully Saha scored after 7 minutes which settled us down. Saha had a good first half but poor second half and should have scored at least 3 goals.
It was great to see Ole Gunnar Solkjaer playing at Old Trafford again after being out injured for so long. He was captain for the match. It would have been brilliant if he managed to score but didnt really get the chance. He played OK putting in a couple really good crosses in.
Silvestre thankfully played better tonight but Fletcher still couldnt pass. Richardson did really well scoring a really good goal and supplying the great cross for Saha’s goal.
Next up Liverpool …
Other football news, it looks like the next wonderkid is going to sign for Arsenal. Its good to see that with all the money in the world Chelsea did not manage to sign him. Walcott (who is only 16) will cost Arsenal £12.5m – ppl are saying he will the most expensive teenager or something like that. Maybe I have heard it wrong but Rooney cost about £27m. Also if they are talking all teenagers and not just British Cristiano Ronaldo may have been a little more (from memory it was about £12.5 too).
On a completely different note just a quick word about Celebrity Big Brother. All of them seem to be really unplesent people. The best person is the non-celeb Chantelle. Preston seems OK as well I guess. I have only seen the first 2 and then some bits here and there. Michael Barrymore seems rather unstable always mumbling, Pete is a bully,…. I also dont like Faria – she says she doesnt want to be famous and then she goes on Big Brother, goes on about hoping to be more famous after Big Brother. Anyway, thats enough of Big Brother.
