What a week!

What a Week! It was a pleasure to watch both Matches this week as United produced two of their most excelent performances of the season! United's match against Schalke 04 was an exhibition of magic. Ofcourse after I spend a week talking about how I am not a fan of Anderson, He would produce a world class display at Old Trafford. But that is how it goes. I still think he is inconsistent and at the moment is barely a squad player. However if these performances continue he may change my mind because his performance against Schalke was awe inspiring. He displayed every quality I believed he missed. His energy was everpresent and worked hard to connect passes into the attacking third! Where did this come from? Darren Gibson surprised as well. After a season of mediocre performances, it was great to see him come out and shine for us. After his emergence last winter during United's defense crisis, I thought he would move into the starting eleven and become a more prominent player. This did not happen but there is still a chance after the Schalke match. The score could have easily been 5 or 6 to nil. It was one of the better performances of the season.

Our outing against the Blues at home was just as sublime. The Reds took to the field and never stopped going untill the whistle. I seriously think that as soon as Chicharito's feet hit the floor in the morning it is goal...goal...goal..goal. And that is all he thinks about everyday! To score in thirty seven seconds against a team like Chelsea is just mind blowing and just made it that much more special. He is truly a legend. On to the man of the match. He was the heart and sould of the team against Chelsea as he is often when he plays. Ji Sung Park was spectacular as covered every blade of grass on the pitch and provided much of the energy in United's attack. The man is litterally tireless. He never stops. The energizer bunny comes to mind. But there are plenty of players that can just run and run but produce nothing for their side. He provides so much energy in the midfield for United in the midfield. As I have said before if he or Flectch isnt in the side you notice the difference. Park provides a momentum and the ball doesnt linger or get caught up at the half line. Of course there is the ever present Old master. Ryan Giggs provides such an influence if only by being present on the field. This would be amazing except that he does even more. He is quited often the catalyst for goals and oppurtinuties. In my oppinon, he is the epl player of the decade. But thats just me and I am pretty sure that I dont have the FA's ear or Sky sports' either.

Still there is more to come! A final at Wembley is quited a daunting task but it is on the Reds can most definately over come if they provide the will! Hello! Hello! We're the famouse Man United and We're on our way to Wembley!!! Wembley, Wembley!!!!
