4-0 against milan - the return of beckham





Hurrah! Finished work again for a couple of days and Manchester United have just beaten Milan 4-0 to reach the quarter finals of the European Cup (In old money). The game was a bit dead as United scored early and dented Milan's hopes (Milan were already 3-2 down from the game at the San Siro). Good to see Beckham back though. he got a great reception off the United fans, but they also took the piss, singing "Fergie Fergie sign him up" and booing him when he touched the ball. At least Beckham had a decent game, even though the game was already decided and there were only about 30 minutes left when he came on. He nearly scored as well, with a stonking volley from just outside the area that went straight at Van de Sar. That would have been a dream goal, but it wasn't to be. Although he distanced himself from the action afterwards, it was also good to see him don a yellow and green scarf after the game, to go along with all the protests on the night (especially the two big Glaziers out banners).
Rooney was the new white Pele again and scored another two goals, to bring his total so far this year to 30. Can't see him beating Ronaldo's 42, but you never know. Let's hope he doesn't get injured, because United certainly need him.
