37 TO GO




1 United 0 Birmingham



Perfection starts at home. Well maybe not perfection, but three points against a newly promoted Birmingham side that showed a lot of potential, but never really delivered.

All in all the Reds attacked and defended as well as can be expected, given all the shake ups. Defensive injuries, a new non-Ronaldo strike force. And a lazy man up front. Yes, Berbatov. He should at least fain enthusiasm, but instead he falls for the off sides trap seemingly without a care. He's on one of the best teams in the world, but you'd never know it by his demeanor.


I already miss Tevez. Ronaldo, not so much. Except, of course, for the multitude of goals he supplied. But I can't wait until he has a mega diva-tandrum at Real. It will happen. And when it does the Spainards won't be too keen on it. The honeymoon will end.

The cherry on top of yesterday's victory was Liverpool's loss to Spurs. To dare is to do. The scoucsers did neither.
