See, told you we’d win yesterday. I was only 70 goals out with my final prediction, but hey, who’s counting?
It wasn’t exactly a return to the free flowing football of weeks ago but no matter. Three points was the most important thing and you could see the difference in the way the team played from the previous game at Anfield. Freddie Ljungberg was outstanding, Ashley Cole too, and two goals from Henry and one from a much improved Robert Pires gave us the points. I have to say the moment of the match was when Robert Pires booted the ball straight into the face of Robbie Savage. The funniest part was when he started to bleed and everyone in the pub started laughing, even the normally grumpy boss of the bar. Funniest thing this season so far.
Afterwards the boss explained why he chose Manuel Aluminium ahead of Jens Lehmann and I suppose he now has a decision to make ahead of Tuesday’s game against Rosenborg.
Anyhow, I’d love to chat some more except I have a most fearsome hangover (drinking Mojitos all night with Mrs Blogs and three chaps whose names begin with C – never a good idea you know) and I need coffee and medication right away. Till tomorrow.
