Haters call it luck (10 times so far, luck?), but Darren Fletcher explain it perfectly (i think the same way when i see 3 Pompey own goals at Old Trafford last weekend):

“The own goals come from putting teams under pressure. If you put the ball into the right areas, it is difficult to defend. When you look at all these own goals there is always a United player coming in behind them who could easily tap the ball into the net. If we can put the ball between the goalkeeper and the defence and one of your players can get on it, great. But it certainly causes problems for defenders and fortunately for us, they have been knocking them into their own net.”

For fun: wouldn’t it be nice to see John Terry splash the ball to his own net at Old Trafford? Nevermind

So the winning streak in all competition has to stop to 7 as we draw 1-1 against Everton today.

It’s always hard if every team you play want to win against you and that’s what we face today at the Goodison Park. But there are no excuse because we deserve tough matches throughout the season on every occasion, because remember we’re the f**king English and European Champions.

After so many noises ahead of the game we could only draw 1-1 against the team that very recently could only play good at first halfs. But they surely super motivated and very much improved at the second half, including Tim Howard, Phil Neville and ex reds injury prone Louis Saha. We’ve been poor and waste so many opportunities and they’ve been good enough to upset our rythm.

Of course it’s a long way to go but we already lost 5 points on our visit to Merseyside team after losing against the kop in September and draw against Everton (I wonder if those points could cost us our aim to get the English Premiere League hattrick). But I guess it’s at least harder to march through the first half of season since other top four, according Hull doesn’t seem to slowing down. But who knows anyway.

Special message to Rooney: Calm down Rooney, you’re the best among Red fans! Next game will be much better. We could win another 7 (hope to win more) start from the next game against West Ham in Old Trafford!

Come on you Reds!

Fratton Park has always been a difficult place for Manchester United to visit. Well i think for any other clubs as well. But especially for Manchester United in recent years. The face of Rio after his own goal a couple years ago in Pompey’s homeground still haunt me until today.

However, today we don’t talk about any of ‘1st class’ Manchester United stars, instead, the hero of both 2 last games is no other than Darren Fletcher.

His goal in 32nd minutes enable us to bring full points away from home and give us more confidence, despite dozen injuries, to face Liverpool and Chelsea away.

Can’t say much but thank you Darren Fletcher for staying.

Come on you reds.
