Reds Back in Black
Portsmouth 1 4 United
There was no doubt which team aimed to win at Fratton Park last Saturday. A hat trick for Rooney, a century for Giggs, and a buttoned-up defense showed who wanted it more. The pk called against United was pure fantasy. But the good guys didn't let that miscue diminish their drive. Beauty.
Meanwhile Tottenham will be travelling to Old Trafford with high hopes. Unbeaten in three games, including a 9-1 mauling of Wigan a little over a week ago, they sit comfortably (for now) in the Prem's third position. After so many years of "coulda shouda's", Spurs may finally be making a serious challenge for the top four.
Danny Wellback has been spurred on by the trust of SIR - and aims to repay the faith.
