Sadly last night it took only 12 minutes for my
confidence to go and the fear of the inevitable to
return with a big bang!
A Wayne Rooney lead Man Utd ran riot in the first half
of our match at Old Trafford with 2 goals in the first
12 minutes which meant the game was effectively over.
A Peter Ramage shocker
gifted Rooney his first goal after 8 minutes when a
crazy backpass was way short
and let Rooney throw on goal to score past Shay Given.
Then the striker again out muscled
Ramage to score his second after 12
minutes leaving Newcastle reeling. Thankfully we hung on
till half time and didn't get murdered like at one stage
we could have.

The
second was a bit better and a more closer
game but Man Utd still threatened to
catch us on the break as we chased the game but some good saves from
Shay Given and a block off Robbie Elliott kept the score down.
So
the same story on the field for Newcastle United at Old Trafford and
it certainly sounded like the same old story off the field
also. Through the TV you could clearly hear the travelling Toon Army
in full voice for most of the game and the 60,000
muppets were quiet as usual apart from
when they put down their prawn
sarnies to clap the 2 goals.
A
game best forgotten I reckon but it's
slightly worrying that up against our
first real decent opponents under Roeder and we looked like we've
still got a long way to go. Let's hope our confidence hasn't been
dented too much for Liverpool at home on this Sunday night.
