Last few seasons we would have ended up with a player sent off, Utd equalising, then maybe them getting the winner with 5-10 mins left, great to see us grind out a result today. Similarly would have dropped points against Stoke, then Villa away. Hendo really starting to look the part, Sturridge, what a buy! Some work still to do in the final 3rd but with genuine competition for places emerging for all the outfield positions, players are really going to have to fight to keep their place which is a real positive. 3 more to come in, (if Skrtel does move on now, great game today, thanks for the service mate and best of luck), 9 points on the board already, a massive, massive congratulation to the lads, keep it going, next up a return to Brendan's old stomping ground, bring it on!
