WE played West Ham United yesterday; it was a game in which we stole a replay from the jaws of certain knock out. West Ham do not have a hex over us, nor does Sam Allardyce, it was not a case of us not taking the FA Cup seriously; it’s just Manchester United doing what Manchester United do so well and so often, it’s almost becoming boring. Some credit does have to go to West Ham though; returning Hammer hero and Kop flop Joe Cole did make a return and did quite well for a lad who has been exiled in France for some time.

United Cruise Past Limp Latics
MANCHESTER United began 2013 at the home of Wigan Athletic. The team are never and should never be motivated soley by revenge but it was the result in this fixture last season which played a big part in the title not ending up with us that day in Sunderland. In more general terms, United needed to win to continue their good form, maintain their lead at the top of the table and maybe keep a second consecutive clean sheet if at all possible.
Rio Ferdinand returned in place of Vidic, Ashley Young switched to the right to accommodate the returning Ryan Giggs on the left and Robin Van Persie started up front with Javier Hernandez.
…Without Any Tears
HELLO dear reader and a happy new year (in a few hours) to you. Let’s hope it’s a good one!
As we are about to bid farewell to 2012 and hello to the year that will see us hopefully crowned as Champions once again, I sat and thought of this period in seasons gone by. You can tell an awful lot by this stage, the team in first place at the end of the year blah blah blah, that is true but I mean more about the messages coming out from Old Trafford in thought and word and deed. Statistics will tell you so much, but the messages and the feeling you get from the team at this time of year tells you more…
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
