I'm holding off on the celebrations. My Blues are in the lead (within the 5th minute, even!) but that doesn't mean that ManUre can't catch up… Great form from Billy Gallas and we're seeing quite a bit of fire in the eyes of all players in Blue. “Shrek” Rooney, though, catching the ankle of our skipper — man, that gave me a fright. When JT finally got the help he needed from the trainers then seeing a bit of blood on his foot as he stood waiting on the touchline or was that a bit of bruising? That was uncalled for, Wayne — rough on your England teammate, no less!

Good (4:28AM PT) morning, footy fans. This is the match I have been waiting for all week. After that gutting loss against those Scousers last weekend, my only consolation was to see my Blues win the Premiership title (2nd year running) against these Red Devils at the Bridge… I'm confident we can do it. C'mon you Blues!!
