United host West Ham and need to score some goals. No one needs goals more so than Wayne Rooney. Here's hoping United run riot.

West Ham matches are always fun to watch… especially since we’ve been winning the most recent of matches by 3-0 ever time (or so it seems).

Also, it appears DeFoe's barber missed a strip on his head
hope he didn’t pay full price for that cut….
When Evans has the ball
he looks lost in possession like. He doesn’t look like he know where he should pass it…
agreed in a sense
but I would add that I have seen him ping some wonderful passes out to the wings before as well!

Nani's shot nearly took the crossbar with it.
He seems to be in great form already this season and was unlucky not to curl in the ball (24th minute).

Just like Fulham last week
United look good in the opening 20-25 minutes…with nothing to show for it.
PENALTY KICK!!!
Scholes with a BRILLIANT pass to Giggs, who jukes past Spector and is taken down. Rooney to take it (thank God)
An interesting run-up to the ball
keeper went left and Rooney rolls the ball into the right corner. United on the attack again….
Com'on Nani.
What a cross by Giggs, wasted by Nani.

Giggs and Scholes both tackle to get the ball back
Giggs gets the loose ball and has an absolute beauty of a through ball to Nani, who tries to go over the keeper and puts it in the 15th row…
Was it just me or did it seem like
United played with a lot more confidence after the Rooney goal? Anytime you’re 1-0 up, you’re going to gain confidence, I know, but it seemed like everything started to go a little more smoothly…
2nd half subs…any predictions? On the bench:
Tomasz Kuszczak
Rafael da Silva
Chris Smalling
Michael Carrick
Antonio Valencia
Michael Owen
Javier Hernandez
Looks like Smalling is warming uo.

GOAL!!!!
Nani with a good piece of footwork to get around the central defense. Bangs it home from 17 yards to the upper left corner. 2-0.
Nani is living up to SAF’s billing of him as someone who could fill CR’s spot on the right side.

I'm starting to think
United are taking one or two too many passes when they’re in the box. Sometimes, you just gotta shoot the ball instead of trying to set up your teammate…
GOAL!!!
Berbatov with a half bicycle kick goal!!!!! What a goal!!!
He’ll also get a yellow for removing his shirt…
So, 3 points today
gives United 1501 points all-time in the Premier League
2nd: Arsenal (1318)
3rd: Chelsea (1276)
4th: Liverpool (1223)
5th: Aston Villa (1006)
Good win, 3 points...
could have had more…gotta think they left at least 2 goals on the table. Gonna need those going forward.
Better defensively
Evans looked better today, though he wasn’t exactly tested. Vidic came from Serbia, and he pretty much murdered ya

and apparntly Liverpool have just put a bid in for Cole. I love the scowser's sometimes
having said that Hodgson has a habit of making good players out of people with a good physical presence!
