United beat Liverpool 1-0 today with a late goal from Rio. He scored about 1 minute into injury time at the end of the match. Almost better than the actual goal was Gary Neville’s celebration. Instead of going to celebrate with team mates went over to the Liverpool fans and grabbed the badge on his shirt, jumped about like mad, almost taunting the Liverpool fans etc. LOL. I have heard that he may get in trouble with the FA for this … I hope not. It just shows passion for the game and how much it means to him. After all the taunting and verbal abuse from the fans against him for 90 minutes, surely a minute of taunting them a little bit was alright!! Watch Neville and Rooney celebration here.
Considering our midfield of Giggs, Fletcher, O Shea and Richardson I was worried how we would be against the likes of Gerrard and Alonso.
Rooney played really well as usual but it was also good to see Giggs play really well too. Evra played the full 90 minutes are did well.
Overall a good weekend with Chelsea drawing and Arsenal losing (and City losing) but its still very likely Chelsea will win the league.
In other sport news I watched the 2nd half of the Masters Snooker final – it was a brilliant match. It had it all, great shots, fantastic breaks, misses, kicks. John Higgins won 10-9 in the end – I wanted Ronnie O Sulliven to win but oh well. It was the last finals held in Wembley.
On a sadder note, the whale which got lost on Friday and found itself in the Thames died yesterday. Rescuers managed to winge him up when he got close to them at low tide and then onto a barge. The whale died from breathing problems later on at about 7pm. Even if it did not die on the barge it may have died later on anyway. Experts seem to think that they had to do anything and they couldn’t just leave it to die in the Thames. It was clearly confused. The whale is now being examined by experts
