I’m sitting in the lobby of the Summit hotel in Whistler and I’m laptopless so I’m spending like 2 bucks every 15 minutes to type this out. You bastards are lucky I try this hard. Anyways, I watched the game with my girl over a pint of 9 am lager at the Dubb Linh Gate and while the eggs benedict was solid, the football on display was epicly frustrating.
I seriously cannot believe how many calls went Blackburn’s way. I must have pissed off anybody sittint next to me because I was bitching nonstop during the whole game about how Styles was obviously going Blackburn’s way on pretty much absolutely every call. Really shitty stuff. I can point to at least two clear handballs in the box and that insane kick that Rooney took in the stomach from Steven Reid also happened in the box. People are saying Rooney dived in the game, but I think I’m going to have to go Arsene Wenger on this one and say “I did not see ze incideent.” If it is indeed true, it’s difficult to admit that Rooney dived but he’s gonna have to cut it out if the naysayers are actually correct.
Seriously though, how determined was Rob Styles to ensure that this one went Blackburn (and ultimately Chelsea)’s way. You can tell that he wants to keep things interesting for next week and yeah, now Chelsea are only three points back. I’m gonna have to put a warning out to all chav’s though- United are ending your 100 game unbeaten home streak next week. Mark my fucking words.
Here’s Santa Cruz’s goal. It’s on Youtube which means it likely won’t be online long. If the embedded vids don’t work, you can watch ‘em here at 1000 Goals.
Santa Cruz scored fair and square. It was a quality finish. It seems like Evra and Vidic had a real moment of miscommunication.
And then you have Scholes playing a delightful flick on to Tevez who finished with real quality. Watch the United fan jumping with them after he rushes the pitch. It was likely worth the tackling.
I predict big things against Barcelona midweek. I have a feeling that we’re going to put the tie to bed in the first game. Just you watch.
And Chelsea next week… We’re going to tear you a new asshole.
