Yeah, not the best outcome, I would have wanted a better one. But it is Blackburn Rovers and we have to remember that they've never been an easy 3 points for us. Look at it as a 1 point gain rather than a 2 points loss.That definitely wasn't the best performance by the team but at this stage every single point is crucial. Thanks to Tevez here to salvage us one. Scored again at the 88th minute to cancel Blackburn's lead.
Rob Styles was the ref of the match so as expected he was the biggest piece of sh*t on footballing history. 4 penalty appeals and he turned down each one. The last one was the worst, a clear handball in the box and he just literally ignored it! I used to get all worked up after a game with him in charge but now it's just sad. It makes the FA look bad actually.
Rooney got fouled pretty hard and he was in pain for a while. He'll be fine for Wednesday's match at Barca, fortunately. Van der Sar wasn't in the squad due to a slight groin injury, but is expected to be fit for Barca too.
A very tough week is ahead. The whole season will all come down to the next 9 days. Beating Chelsea next week will probably mean we're champions. Not mathematically of course but with around 20 goals difference advantage it's pretty obvious. Unless Chelsea pay their opponents in the last 2 matches to let in 10 goals each then they'd have a chance.
United's line up:
Kuszczak, Brown (81'), Rio, Vida, Evra, Ronnie, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs (46'), Rooney (90'), Tevez
subs: Foster, Nani (46'), O'Shea (81'), Park (90'), Pique
