Manchester United 4-2 Blackpool

A strange game really, i expected us to be better than that. A better team than Blackpool might have come away with something from that game. We have seen it before, when United have nothing to play for, the intensity drops and the result you expected doesn't always happen.
I was surprised that Park played as i thought he would be rested for next week, but it was the Korean who opened the scoring after getting on the end of a Berbatov flick on with a little help from a terrible piece of defending from Evatt that showed why Blackpool have lasted just one season in the top flight. They have tried to play football the right way but you just can't defend like that. Presuming that there best players look for pastures new it's hard to see them playing in the premier league again any time soon.
United got sloppy though and Blackpool got the equaliser they probably deserved when Vidic gave away a free kick just outside the area in Charlie Adam territory. The Scot made no mistake with a brilliant left foot shot. United didn't start the second half any better and it wasn't that much of a surprise when the away team took the lead. The didn't hold the lead very long though as the all of a sudden goal hungry Anderson helped Park's left wing cross into the back of the net.
Owen came on for Park as United took control of the game finally and United took the lead with quarter of an hour to go as the unfortunate Evatt put through his own net. Owen finished the scoring with ten minutes to go. It wasn't Berbatov's day as he looked for the goal that would have made him the league's top scorer. Two good saves from the Blackpool goalie Gilks and a poor attempt that never threatened the goal late on meant that he ended all square with Tevez who also couldn't find the net for City at Bolton.
As usual the trophy presentation dragged on for far too long but it was nice to see Van Der Sar get a nice send off. Hopefully that was the first of three trophies to be claimed by the club this season.

I managed to get tonight off work and went along to see the second leg of the FA youth cup final at Old trafford. It was the first time i had seen the present youth team in the flesh. Despite the scoreline United didn't really play that well and were pretty fortunate to go in at half time 2-0 to the good. The second half was far better though United were still not playing anywhere near as well as they are capable of. They did start to carve out chances though with Pogba hitting a great shot that was well saved.
Morrison had a mixed night scoring two goals with two excellent finishes but losing possession carelessly at times. I was disappointed with Pogba, it just didn't seem to be his night and he knew it. Keane didnt affext the game as much as he can, but he was as cool as a cucumber taking the penalty and he took the second goal like a veteran. The man of the match for me, and by a long way had to be Tunnicliffe. He was superb, in almost every facet of the game, his passing and vision were a revelation to me. I have seen him drive the game and force himself onto a game, but he was also the conductor tonight directing the play with some great lomg and short range passing. I'm really excited by him and a local lad to boot.
I always love to see youth given its chance and next season promises to be exciting from that point of view. I didn't realise that we have marked another milestone and broken another record with this tenth FA youth cup triumph.
