Alex Ferguson drops a few bombshells of the non-NATO variety before the game with some line up changes that were hardly predictable in the circumstances. Out goes the dynamic duo of Yorke and Cole, out goes Giggs, and in come the guys I can't spell, Bloomquist, Solksjaar and the well-known English delight Sherry Ham. Ferguson is rapidly (make that slowly) becoming my hero with changes like that for this match. (two outa three ain't bad). These changes were "virtually" impossible and I am suddenly reminded that the objective he is trying to achieve is something "virtually" impossible. I am hooked like never before and watching with a whole new regard.
So they cancelled each other out last Sunday in a 0-0 game that could have been 6-6 except for the fact that 6-6 is "virtually" impossible. To no ones amazement but myself, I am struck in wonderment and admiration as proceedings unfold. (I'm too old to be star-struck). David Beckham proves once more that he can bend a ball pretty good and that David Seaman is probably not the best goalkeeper in England who is English. The new look United are 1 up and the deadlock has been broken. Petit is back for Arsenal and it makes a difference but United have by far the better of things and this continues for the first hour or so.
