Rooney 4 Tigers 0
United 4-0 Hull City
Premiership 2009/10; attendance 73,933
The headlines and the match ball go to Wayne Rooney. Not that you know that when you turn up at Old Trafford. It is just another Saturday afternoon but joy of joys a 3 o'clock kick-off. A re-arranged fixture as both teams do not have any FA Cup commitments until 2011. It's a match you know you should win easily and feel relaxed about it.
It started well. Eight minutes in Scholes fires a rocket, Myhill the Hull keeper parries and Rooney pops it home. At times when a goal is scored early I usually think of that great game United had against Roma and went on to score seven. It didn't happen today the floodgates didn't open. They rarely do. Lots of possession, corners and attempts at a goal but nothing to show. At 80 minutes it is still not safe, sitting on a one goal lead means the opposition are still in with a chance. Why hasn't the game been put away? Hull are here to nick a point with Mr.Brown their manager prowling the technical area all afternoon.
Maybe Fergie was thinking the same and as usual made his 70th minute substitutions. So to liven up our afternoon we get three goals in the last ten minutes. Hull were sunk when the second went in and as teams sometimes do went into fatigue drive.
Man of the match for me was Nani. He actually played as a team member and not the scowling show boater he often treats us to. I never thought I'd be saying Nani praises.
Enjoying the anti-Glazer protests and maybe they'll increase over the next few games. The tossers ain't going to sell up just yet but they ain't going to be popular in their lifetime. Different tactics by the stewards this week. They surrounded the pitch near the end, must have been 120 yellow jacket muppets down there expecting an invasion on fans. That might happen on Wednesday. So a stadium singing Hate Glazer songs, a couple of banners unfurled, and fans with yellow and green scarfs. It's a start.
