Another one in the bag
United 1-0 Everton
Premiership 2008/09; attendance 75,399
There is a predictability about these games. United need three points to stay at the top of the table, the opposition turn up to salvage a draw. So it's the brothers Neville as the respective captains - good old Gary in the red shirt, and Phil who got a big cheer when his name was read out in the blue shirt. That's got potential for a trivia question. After that it was down to attacking business.
Got a bit distracted by the new clocks & scoreboard at the ground. It's the same piece of electronics except it now says the sponsor. That's Hublot who make watches that cost a few thousand GBP and upwards to the price of car. But the time is no longer a 17:30 kick off in the 24 hour system it's now 5:30 on the board - don't approve. Then you have a clock counting down in seconds from 45:00. So at 6:11 (that's PM) there are only 6 mins 11 seconds left to play. My brain was running through all the combinations of morning, evening starts, extra time of how many times it would happen in a match.
Snapped out of that when the ref awarded a penalty for a foul on Carrick. Ronaldo scored. Carrick was also fouled in the second half down at our end. Looked like a clear cut penalty from row 8, but the ref wasn't giving two spot kicks in one match to the same player.
A good performance from the team, Carrick was my man of the match, I've changed my tune from last season when I had him on a train out of here. Tim Howard in nets for Everton played exceptionally well. Back here for the game against Fulham in a few weeks for another must win battle and that annoying clock.
Game 44 (this season) or Game 9 this year. Cost £35 - brought our own confectionary and water to avoid queues and silly prices.
