The Premier League had better watch out. We're finding our form, and it's scary just how good we are. Today we despatched Fulham with ease, and plenty to spare in the tank, stretching the lead to 5 points.

Today's first half was one of the best we've seen in a long long while. We simply tore Fulham to bits and could have chalked up a rugby score by the half. Yet, both the goals scored in the half had a huge element of luck attached to them.

The first came from a well worked corner routine that saw Scholes send a scorcher from outside the box. Schwarzer had the ball well covered and in his grasp, but the shot was just too hot to handle and it squirmed into the net.

The second came via some comic defending from Fulham, failing to clear an O'Shea toe-poke into the box. Berbatov accepted the gift with glee.

Despite a huge slice of luck, take nothing away from the first half performance. We literally controlled the game and tore Fulham to shreds. Two goals flagged for offside and some ridiculous saves from Schwarzer stood testamont to our dominance.

Rooney completed the rout early in the second half with his first touch of the ball after coming on as a substitute. Park's wayward shot found it's way to Rooney on the far post and Fulham were truely dead and buried.

We slowed the pace down considerably, electing to play keep ball and conserving energy.

Van der Sar also kept a clean sheet, stretching the record to 14 straight games. He's had so little to do in those 14 games that it's probable that he's forgotten how it's like to be beaten.

We face Blackburn this Saturday and big Sam, who was scouting from the stands must be thinking just what an impossible the task ahead is.
