Three goals in the rain
United 3-0 Everton
Premiership 2009/10; attendance 75,169
A couple of weeks off from Premiership football whilst the international games were played. So come the Saturday, a 1730h kick off, knowing how the other teams have done, and knowing you have a couple of kilometres to walk in ceaseless rain, off we go.....Football fills a big part in a fans life but there are better things to do on wet Saturday evening.
Not a memorable game. One of those when you know United are going to score but how long before it happens? When the tally reached three you knew it was all over, but a true fan stays to end, just in case there is something in injury time.
Our neighbours in the seats to our left didn't make an appearance for the first 25 minutes. We thought they'd must be sat at home watching it on Tv. Not that we know if they have Sky or ESPN? Turned out they were in the pub, and 15 minutes before kick off realised they had left their tickets at home. Look it could happen to anyone, I dread being in front of the turnstile desperately searching every pocket to find the bit of plastic that lets you through.
Got a good view of Carrick's goal from 18 yards out. Nice inside of the right boot placed into the bottom far corner. How many times have I seen those chances ballooned over the bar.
Trudge home but the rain has stopped and how only five points behind Chelsea. At least we'll be home for 2000h not too damp and not down hearted.
