A convincing display from the mighty Red Devils tonight saw United extend our lead at the top of the Premier League to 5 points. Goals from Paul Scholes, Dimitar Berbatov and the returning Wayne Rooney gave United a 3-0 success over mid-table Fulham. Yet another clean sheet for the defence sees United extend the British record for 'shut outs' to 14 matches, which is simply awesome.
With a spate of matches to come in the next month, it was useful to have a reasonably stress-free victory tonight, with no reports of any injuries to any of the lads. Next up are Sam Allardyce's Blackburn Rovers at Old Trafford on Saturday- another we'll be expected to win, but Sam's men won't give up the points without a fight, so I'd expect a tougher game than we had tonight.

A Brief History
- Cainess
- I have been a United follower since 1977, when as an impressionable 6 year old, I witnessed 'plucky underdogs' United overcome arch-rivals Liverpool in the F.A. Cup Final. Many of the years until the early 1990s were difficult, watching the Merseyside outfit claim trophy after trophy. However, Sir Alex Ferguson changed all that, and the riches we've become accustomed to are just rewards for patience shown during those lean years.
