A sightly better team could have given them a game . They have their weaknesses especially at the back and we refused to exploit them .
A football game is about scoring goals to win it . When we still had RVP , we were totally outplayed by Liverpool but we scored more than them and got undeserved credit due to two superb Persie's goals .
Ferguson was disappointed after winning which says it all, he felt they should have battered us...and the truth is they should as they were far superior even if they were nowhere near their best.

A scoreline of 4 or 5 nil wouldn't have flattered them. The gulf was embarrassing for a club of our supposed stature to be honest.
