I've bided long enough
What a great result, and a great game. If anyone saw the Arsenal - Valencia game last night you were lucky, lucky people. I could only find one pub showing it and I had to listen to the commentary from the Leeds game, a little disconcerting to say the least. Vieira was magnificent, Adams was better, Parlour scored a candidate for goal of the competition. But I thought Pires was the greatest influence on the game, he worked harder than I thought possible and his deft little backheel for our first goal couldn't have been more perfect.
I've got to mention Leeds as well, they didn't manage to hit 5 past them like we did last season ;) but it was a great performance (I heard it all, and it was showing on a TV next to the one I was watching the Arsenal on as well so I saw most of it too). Rio had a good game, I loved Kewell's little dinks over and around the (name escapes me) last defenders.
There's two very difficult away games to come, and I can just wish the best of luck to Arsenal and Leeds. For the record I don't think United will score in Munich, Bayern are as tight as a ducks arse at home, even if they're not that good overall. A typical German side, and Effenberg will be playing as well. I will say however I think the comments made by certain Bayern players are well out of order, they tried the same thing against Arsenal as well. In fact I hope united beat them 10-0 away.
