Disappointing, very disappointing.

Yesterdays game only confirmed what we already know. That Man Utd's penalties in Moscow were flukes and yesterday we saw how Man Utd really take penalties.

Seriously though, enjoyed the game, a draw a fair reflection of the match after 90 mins. A good appetizer for next week.

I only caught the last hour of the game, but appeared a fair result after 90 minutes. United have only themselves to blame after some woeful penalty kicks.

I don’t suppose either team is going crazy about winning or losing with more important stuff to come.
I did think that two goals shouldn’t have been allowed, which cancelled each other out. Ballack (can be a nasty wotsit) clearly fouled Evra with a body check (but not, I think, to the face as Evra made out) and wasn’t there offside doubt about Rooney’s late equaliser? I didn't watch re-runs, so stand to be corrected.

So two big refereeing mistakes in the first ‘major’ game of the season? A bit worrying.

The referee was advertised as a Martin Atkinson so I was surprised that it actually turned out to be Rowan Atkinson !

Reading this post this morning I've realised the referee was actually Chris Foy and not Martin Atkinson....sooo sorree Mr.Atkinson !
Maybe I got the result wrong as well.Was it United who won on penalties ?
That Siam Sato must be stronger than I thought !
Anyway,great to have the footie back.

On reflection,this weekend,I think I had better watch the Chelsea v Hull match at the outside restaurant at the Charoen and the United game on Sunday at another venue.....just in case !

I have to say I enjoyed the game. Manchester United really needs to work on their 11m shots. Two losses in a row on 11m shots, first to FC Bayern München and now to Chelsea.
