Our first win today, which just puts a smile on my face. Even though we didn’t look as strong today as we did in our first three games we still came away with 3 points. That just shows you how frustrating football can be. I was cursing the entire game about how narrow we were playing and then the goal comes. From then onwards it was nail biting stuff until the final whistle as Spurs changed gear determined to get a point.
There weren’t many chances in the game for us. Scholes went just over the bar with a shot, Carrick just missed from 20-yards out and Hargreaves with two long range shots off target. The referring was good today because Spurs could have easily been given an unjust penalty for what seemed to be a Wes Brown hand ball at time. Just before that Rio cleared the ball just a few centimeters before the line denying Berbatov his first goal of the season.
Today Tevez and Carrick were both terrible, good think we took Carrick off though I think taking Tevez off wasn't a good idea and. What if Spurs Scored? We would only have Eagles upfront, that would have been to much pressure for the youngster. Tevez is very ineffective on his own upfront and will be a much better player once he gets Saha up front with him(which should be next weekend) but we still need a top striker on the field no matter what.

The result was just what United needed to get some confident spirits on the training ground tomorrow. It will surely boost the team for Sunderland and after that Ronaldo will be back to face Chelsea in our next EPL game. United will get through this hard period of injuries and suspensions and after that we will dominate the rest of the season.
