As if life wasn't hard enough already. Today we will all awake to the gloating manc who wants the red carpet laid out in front of him. They are on their way to Wembley, and frankly, I don't see Villa cutting short their celebrations. Mancini conceded defeat from the very start. A midfield that wouldn't kick snow off a rope, never mind keep out the red side of the city. When you glanced over to the bench you were amazed to find: Ireland, Petrov and Adebayor. Lesson number 1: Defending a lead in England is not the same as in Italy.
Sir Alex said he would not have been amazed if they had scored 6 or 7 last night. Even as a scouser I would agree with him. While I found Rooney's miss astonishing, I knew the killer blow was just around the corner, and so it proved. Chatting to some united fans earlier I said: "It will take some bit of quick thinking to win this game. Man City were very slow to react to corners in their FA cup game away to Scunthorpe last week."
Then it came. Rooney caught the City defence flatfooted and crashed his header past a helpless Given. You didn't hear Alex complain about the three minutes of injury time at that stage. The Reds' are through, for Mancini its back to wine and pizza. The sound is deafening. Give us a break. Go on the Villains.
Until next time,
D.K
