B*!L@cks! Not again! City V Rags

Seconds to go and for the third time this season Utd pop one in. Cue the slamming of seats, my kids crying their eyes out again cos the rags have won again and another weekend ruined.

A pretty poor game all round and one that in the end we should in the end just looked to take a point from. Unfortunately Tevez, Adebayor and Bellamy didn't cause too many problems to United's well organised back four. Johnson struggled against a full back who was only too aware he was playing on the wrong wing and despite DJ and Barry's best efforts Scholes ran the game for yet another derby.

Absolutely gutted leaving the game but at least Chelsea should be able to keep up the pressure on the Reds and help us out with that 4th spot.

Fast Foward.....Saturday Evening.......B*!L@cks!

...and we're back

Not blogged for quite a while and no it wasn't because United beat us in the semis although ironically next game up is the Rags.

Sunday's game against Birmingham was undoubtedly one of the better performances we've had at Eastlands in the intervening months and once again it seems like Tevez is the catalyst for everything good we do. Although ably assisted by Bellamy, Adebayor and Johno there can be little doubt that when Carlos gets involved we move forward with far more purpose. 2-0 up and it looked like plain sailing though I did worry about how easily the defence fell asleep for their goal. Barry was impressive throughout and hopefully he'll take that form into the derby. In the end it was a comfortable victory that edged us further towards securing 4th place.
