Man Utd NZ
Wonderful opening game for the Manchester United NZ Supporters Club Sunday football team this afternoon at Alan Wood reserve.
Playing a composite Chinese side of 25 odd players, the Red Machine played some wonderful early season football.
With a squad of talent including Garry, Walter, Cardiff, Ron Q, Mike, James, Gareth, Marc, Ken, Jan, Mike Tull, Steve T, Rob, James, Rowan, Hayden and the new boys Pat and Warren, we were hyped from the start. In a game of three halfs, the boys were outstanding, esp Garry in goal, Walter in defense and Steve Taylor, but the player of the day was Warren, he was absolutely awesome, a one touch player who combined perfectly with Colly and set us on the winning track.
Last years Goalscorer of the Year Mike Tull slotted home a great penalty and Warren scored the winner.
Woo hoo, 2-1, great start to the season guys ..

FA Cup action
Manchester United beat Southampton 3-0 on Sunday, to set up an FA Cup fourth round clash with Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. Goals from Danny Welbeck, Nani and Gibson sealed the win against a Saints side that was reduced to 10 men after only 36 minutes.
The Reds almost took the lead on 17 minutes when Berbatov’s cheeky back-heel sent Nani through on goal. The Portuguese shot low and hard across goal but Davis got down smartly to push the ball clear and preserve parity. United took the lead through 18-year-old Danny Welbeck. It didn’t quite match the 30-yard screamer he scored against Stoke in November, but the goal justified his selection in the team and confirmed the youngsters’ penchant for goals. United then roared into life and could have been 3-0 up after 30 minutes. They would have been but for veteran defender Chris Perry, who first denied Dimitar Berbatov and then Michael Carrick with last-ditch tackles.
United were 2-0 up and cruising within three minutes of the restart, courtesy of a Nani penalty, who sent Davis the wrong way to double the Reds’ lead. And Darrel Gibson rounded out the scoring with his first United goal, ten minutes from full-time.
