One of my favorite games of recent times.
Yes, we needed the win and we got it with two goals late on from Yaya. Extremely nervous watch, that game.
Those Geordies seem a little on the pessimistic side. I expect it to be a close game.
I was even nervous after the game when Rags played Swansea. I was worried they would win by about 8 goals and level the goal difference!
Funnily enough, I was worried they'd conspire to get a sackful, too. Spent the whole week after in excited anticipation of the QPR game, little knowing what it had in store for us.
I recall they scored the 2 goals very early on, and remember Tom Daly running to get the ball out of the net. I had it in my head that they were going to hammer Swansea about 6 or 7 nil
"If we fire our manager after just one bad season - We'll become Chelsea"
"If we think we can fix the problem by buying expensive players - We'll become City"
"If we remember the good times to entertain us during the bad times - We'll become Liverpool"
So, keep calm and do it the United way
"We invest in young players, That is what we are good at — we’re not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that Manchester City are going to pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can’t do anything about it. We concentrate on what we can do to try to bring players in for the right reasons. We invest in those who will be with the club for a long time, who will create the character of the club, who will create excitement for our fans. We are very proud of that and we are going to continue that way" - Alex Ferguson 14th May 2012
