Manchester United 2 - 1 Wolves

Same old story. Late winner. Played well, got nothing. That's the story once again and it's beginning to become a very unwelcome habit.

First half, we played the ball around patiently and created chances. You could say we matched United that half. Nemanja Vidic deflected Nenad Milijas' shot just the wrong side of the post and Stephen Hunt failed to latch onto Matt Jarvis' telling inswinger and once again, we paid the price for near misses. Just before half time, a sublime pass from Darren Fletcher found Park Ji-Sung got away from Karl Henry with ease and slotted into the bottom corner.

But that harsh goal before the whistle didn't alter our mentality at the restart. But nothing much was happening in the game until the tale of two striking subsitiutions was told. Sylvan Ebanks-Blake instinctively took control of Nenad Milijas' tame shot and slotted the ball through Edwin Van Der Sar's legs to make it all all level and with ten minutes left, we squandered a chance. Steven Fletcher should've found the net when he was teed up by Michael Mancienne, some would feel that the latter should've took the chance himself. And Fletcher unoffically made himself scapegoat to some fans when he carelessly gave the ball away which saw Park cut inside Stephen Ward, who needlessly slid in in vain, and scuffed his shot into the bottom corner with a minute of stoppage time to spare. What's more annoying about the winner was that had he hit the shot full-on, maybe Marcus Hahnemann would've stood a chance of saving.

Another kick in the groin. Don't think I can be any more elborate than that.
