I honestly don't understand why its such a big shock to everyone that we won. We beat them last year, drew with Arsenal, drew with Newcastle, beat Liverpool twice, spanked various other teams. The fact is, we had the best home form in the league behind Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U last season, the same as Liverpool. Had we been better away from home we would've been pushing for Europe.
I was more confident of getting a result yesterday than I was when we played Spurs, Everton and Birmingham simply because I knew that unlike those teams, United would allow us to play football rather than stifle us and we were never not going to score.
Good times.
