Climbing Up

0 West Ham 4 United

Scholes (45), Gibson (61), Valencia (70), Rooney (72)

In true United form, the Reds moved within two points of Prem leaders Chelsea this weekend with a 4-nil drubbing of the Hammers at Upton Park. Last year the punters counted United out, prematurely crowning Liverpool champs. That was just before United moved back into pole position, decimating all comers on their way to reclaiming what was rightfully theirs.

Flashback: The sousers went south and the the good guys went north. You can always count on United for drama. Just never count them out.

Next up: United travel to Wolfsburg, needing just a point to cement first place in their Champions league group. A defeat by a 1-0 scoreline or by more than two goals will result in Sir Alex’s side finishing second and landing arguably a more difficult last 16 draw.

Feed the scousers. Let them know it's Christmas time. Well almost.
