Hand in glove


United 2 1 Bolton

For some sides, life's a beach - or beach ball. For others, it's simply a day at the beach. United dominated Bolton at home yesterday, enjoying the spoils of an intimidating atmosphere, a title-winning attitude, and Edwin van der Sar back where he belongs: Blocking goals and yelling at his defense.

After cruising through the opening 60 minutes and creating enough chances to have hit double figures, Sir Alex's men ended the match clinging on to a narrow advantage and weathering a barrage of Bolton attacks.

One more thing: Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association, following his remarks about referee Alan Wiley. Even after his half-baked apology.

Stay tuned. After a midweek Champs clash with CSKA Moscow, the reds catch a wave at Anfield. Surfs up.
