Pissed off about the ref, first not giving Wellbeck a red, then Fellaini a red, then Rooney a yellow ... so at half time with just 0-1 up and ref totally giving them everything (or rather not giving them what they needed given) was a little worried that the ref might decide this game ... but then the second half started just like the first and the second goal calmed down everything ...
In the end 0-3 was NOT a fair reflection of how the whole game went (at least that's how I see it) ... we should have had that 0-3 lead in the first 10-15 minutes ... and then they should have been down to 9 men by half time ... yup, could have been 10, should have been 10 by the final whistle ...
But in the end whether it was 0-10 or 0-3 or hell even if it had stayed at 0-1 ... it all accounts for 3 points ... so 3 in the bag and now next game is more important in the greater scheme of things ...
For here on three more difficult away games left and I'd rather we win from Arsenal and Liverpool, then (if we have to) drop points at Everton ... we'd still win the league, and if Everton also beat Arsenal in ten days time ... then Martinez will finish 4th and Arsenal 5th ... now THAT will be an awesome finish ... and in there if Chelsea drops more points and end up 3rd and Liverpool pimp them to 2nd (won't mind that much) ... that'll just round up a great fucking season ... oh, and of course Uwe to win their FA Cup semi over Wenger as well ;)
In fairness I think Wellbeck's was just a clumsy challenge, so although a red would have been justified, it would have been a bit harsh. Toilet brush head is just a cunt and should have gone for violent conduct, whereas shrek seems to get away with that sort of shit all the time.
At the end of the day the most satisfying thing is we stuffed them without even having to try very hard, which is what all the media are concentrating on. And by keeping it to three, Agent Gollum's cover isn't blown.
