Man Utd 1-1 Blackburn Rovers

Oh well. Frustrating result. United needs the 3 points so badly. You dont know how miserable I was yesterday. Watching the game every second and each time the ball was taken away from United , I did what? Well..as usual, I'd scream "TAKE THE BALL BACK UNITED, THE BALL IS YOURS". And if the defence is terrible I'd blame the defenders ( like, who else should we blame? Not Howard! ) for the poor performance. Football..all depends on LUCK, huh? Hate it. Its like..without luck..there is no way the team could win the match. The boys were awesome yesterday. They played very well. They attacked every second. They defend when needed. There were like..tons of chances and Friedel saved all of it. Gee..He was good. I mean, Its not that he's not good at all. I've seen him before and he's not as good as yesterday. Should have had him in my fantasy game. aisey man..

ohKay,these are some of my own United cheers :

Rio Ferdinand, defend till the end!
Go Neville Brothers, you guys fear the others!
Clap for the Clever Kleberson!
Paul Scholes, make the goal's holes!
Paul Scholes, cmon! score more goals!
Louis Saha, you make the fans go U-a-ha!
Ryan Giggs, show some brilliant kicks!
Ryan Giggs, our no.1 assist!
Ryan Giggs, the man of free kicks! (besides Ronaldo, Scholeys n Kleb )
David Bellion, you're one in a million!
Roy Keane, you can handle the team!

Match Report :

Friedel was Blackburn’s saviour in the 68th minute when he pulled off a terrific save from Smith’s strong header after United striker had met Giggs’ right cross.
Rovers were reduced to ten men in the 71st minute when defender Amoruso was sent off following a foul on Saha. The Rovers’ man was shown the yellow card – his second o the game – and the red. Graeme Souness immediately replaced Dickov with Nils-Eric Johansson.
Friedel was proving to be Rovers’ hero of the hour with a string of amazing saves. He looked unbeatable as first Saha and then Ronaldo had efforts stopped on the line.
Scholes became another player to frustrated by Friedel when, in the 87th minute, the American blocked what appeared to be a certain equaliser with his legs.
Amazingly, the fourth official indicated that there would be four minutes added time and it proved to be just enough for United to salvage a point. United looked to have run out of opportunities, but with barely seconds to go Smith lashed a shot past Friedel to snatch the win from Rovers’ grasp.
