I hate to be churlish, not really I love it, but you mean the same keeper that at least 3 times in the last 10 minutes launched the football so far forward it went straight to the Man United keeper so they could start another attack on our goal?
In some ways, today was our first pre-season friendly before the important stuff of next season, so it's a good start.
I suppose one tiny tiny positive from this season is that we've finally managed to beat Chelsea and ManUre. That must have been playing on the players minds, so to have back-to-back victories (albeit at home) will put some demons to bed before the serious stuff of next season.

That keeper?
He will learn, but I just feel 100% more comfortable with him back there than anything we've had since mad jens.

Yeah he did ok really. I especially liked the way he took the ball to the corner of the penalty area to waste a bit of time at the end.

Mancs still favourites to win the title and we look safer for 3rd spot.
No need for AW to buy in summer is there?
Rambo, Wilshere, Song bossed the midfield today. Only one good save required from Chesney, otherwise pretty much untroubled.
It could so easily have gone wrong had the Mancs been a bit sharper.
Can we play as well in the last three.
Maybe Man Ure had half an eye on mid-week,but we still played well.They hardly posed a threat in the first half,and most of the second half they were feeding off scraps.I don't hesitate in criticising the team when they are shit,so I should be equally quick to praise them when they put a shift in,but it doesn't alter the fact that there are issues that the manager,and the Club need to address.
