It was a great ball and Berba had the simple task of putting it in the net."<BR/><BR/>Reflecting on the game as a whole, Scholes said: "It was quite a poor start, we were sloppy, giving the ball away and they made us pay for that. <BR/><BR/>"But we stuck at it, kept going forward and then got a lucky goal. Was it mine? If it was on target, yes. If not, then it wasn't," he concluded.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25036969.post-54146327500758635792009-01-26T16:41:00.000+02:002009-01-26T16:41:00.000+02:00mini u back? where u been ? how was leeds cup run?...mini u back? where u been ? how was leeds cup run? are they still in it?<BR/><BR/>benitez is dom! he must not complain when u want to be the best you must break 9 men defences down, thats what you get paid to do! <BR/><BR/>lets not forget on monday he wnet and put 9 men behind the ball after they went 1 nil up. he had like 6 okes in midfield! a case of the pot calling the kettle blackAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25036969.post-15719280297842812442009-01-26T12:15:00.000+02:002009-01-26T12:15:00.000+02:00I think Rafa and his players will help each other...I think Rafa and his players will help each other stuff it all up <BR/><BR/>Da manc will win itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
