The Football Crowd After Match from biffadigital on Vimeo.

What a match! The Premiership at its best. What better than having two attacking teams going all out for all the points. Good to get back to Old Trafford. I was a bit out of sorts for the previous game this season against Birmingham City.

Overall I thought United had a bit of luck with them to get this result. A goal down at half time. The warning signs were there when Ashevan had an earlier effort just wide. The second time he didn't miss. We were hoping Owen would come on so we could see which player was the smallest in height.

Max Beesley the actor came on at half time to make the cash draw. He knows how to work a crowd, predicting a 2-1 for United. Cheers from the stands.

A penalty for Rooney in front of the Stretford End. Bit of a tension build up, but no messing with the place and power of a shot. Then the comedy moment when a beautiful own goal header by Diaby. My jaw dropped and i stood stunned. Not until the ref signalled a goal did I join in the jumping and cheering. I've seen own goals before but not one as stunning as this when there are no opposition players around you.

Poor old Wenger got himself sent off right at the end. What was that about? Apparently kicking a plastic water bottle. Sometimes officialdom is very petty.

Went home with a springy step looking forward to Match of The Day. Managed to see it down The Marble after a couple of pints of their new seasonal beer called "Summer". Days like this are brilliant. Digging my spuds up on the allotment, watching my other favourite team in the other sports section - Netherlands Women's Hockey beat Germany 3-1 for the Euro Championship on streaming video, then beating the mighty Arsenal in the early evening, and a night out drinking... boozer.
