Scrappy Win (Watford 1 - Manchester United 2)

Well, we weren't going to play like the past 2 games forever. There has to be a dip in play sometime, and I'm glad it happened in this game. We were scrappy throughout the game and it didn't help that Watford is a genuinely hardworking team. They made things difficult in every aspect of the game. At least we got 3 valuable points today to maintain a 100% record.

The first half was entirely dominated by Silvestre. He scored the opener with a sweetly taken goal, placing it beyond the Watford keeper, before making a mess defending the cross, allowing Watford to equalise.

I caught this game with Kentona and his girlfriend, and we established a fact that his girlfriend is indeed the jinx whenever we catch a United game together. We rarely win games when she's around, and today we confirmed that theory. She left at half time, and Giggs scored the winner in the second half. What else can I say?

What's most intriguing in this game was that Carrick started the game. Well, truthfully, if you caught the game without knowing who started, you'd wouldn't have noticed him in the game at all. It wasn't till he was substituted out in the 75th minuted that I realised he was part of the lineup. I'm not closing the book on him, but for 18 freaking million pounds, it sure seems like a waste of money. The next game's against his old team, Spurs, and let's hope he's at least visible. If that can't spur him on (pardon the pun), I don't think anything will.
