GET IN LADS. It is that man again! Take a bow Wayne Rooney. Blistering coutner attack from United. Giggs finds Berbatov on the half way line. Plays a ball wide to Rooney who bursts into the box, checks inside the defender and fires it in at the near post.
 
Assist from Berbatov, breaking from a West Brom attack he played Rooney in behind. Rooney was pushed slighted outside left, but he cuts in on the defender, then cleverly strikes it near post to out fox Carson. That's been coming for some time
 
The Champions 1-0 West Brom. 56 minutes played.
 
Miller plays a one two with Brunt, tries to keep it in but its a poor cross and VDS collects.
 
Champions of England... Champions of Europe... Champions of England...

Crowd has been rocking all second half so far. If United score again soon, I reckon it might be floodgates. Berbatov far more involved start of the second half, a kick up the backside perhaps?
 
Rafael quickly onto a short ball with a crunching slide tackle. Crowd gives an appreciative roar.
 
One hour played and United lead 1-0. Rooney almost makes it to after Giggs finds him in the box. Shoots and Carson makes a good save at the near post.
 
Corner comes in. Falls to Ronaldo, who dummies, but the second touch is too heavy and the defence clear.
 
Neville coming on for Rafael i presume.
 
Pace of the game has slowed right down now. WBA are looking tired and United content to pass the ball around patiently.
 
Ronaldo very nearly plays Rooney in again, but Carson intercepts the through ball just in time. Rooney is being played centrally, and is on fire. Comfirmed Rafael coming off, had a relatively quiet game for him
 
Berbatov tries to find Rooney with a through ball, but Carson gets there first. Change made now, and it is Rafael off for Neville.
 
:lol: Just seen the replay of Rooney's goal and he was clearly delighted. He is obviously enjoying his football, which is great to see and long may it continue.
 
Neville breaks forward straight away, and plays a low ball in, which is cleared for a corner. Rooney takes, and it is cleared for another corner, this time from the left.
 
If the tiny amount of Swedish I've learnt so far is right, Nani is warming up. Neville into the action straight away, cross cut out, corner ball. Ferdinand attacks it, wins another corner
 
2-0 to the Champions. Rooney plays a great ball in to Ronaldo, who finishes with his left foot.

Some controversy as West Brom had strong appeals for a hand ball on Vida 30 seconds earlier. Will have to see the replay before i can comment though.
 
3-0 Berbatov scores his first Premier League goal for United. Corner taken short by Nani, to Giggs, who returns it. Nani swings a cross in, which goes through a defenders legs. Berbatov reacts instantly and fires past Carson. Game over.
 
Corner taken short to Nani, who whips a low cross in. Several players miss it, Berbatov in the right place at the right time to swing out a leg and put away an easy finish. First goal at Old Trafford for Berbs. 3-0
 
Almost 4! Berbatov, plays a ball inside the full back to Nani, who cuts it back to Rooney, who unfortunately scuffs his shot wide.
 
This is 'sexy football' as Gullit would say. Best performance of the season so far from United, absolutely dominant. 15 minutes to play, can't pass quickly enough for West Brom
 
United oozing confidence now. They look like they might score everytime they break forward.
 
Morrison with a hopeful shot from distance, and once again over the bar.
 
Note to the Scousers - we win with style, and don't need the ref to give us horrific decisions like the one that did for Valencia today. You can stuff your jammy late victories up your arse!

Game has settled down a bit after the onslaught of goals from United. West Brom even have an effort on goal, but its blazed over the bar. United crowd quietens down, they know the game is over
 
Berbatov wins a somewhat soft free kick on the right. Giggs to take...
 
and fires over. Really should have crossed there, but at 3-0 i won't hold it against him:D
 
Neville almost gets in on the action! Rooney holds the ball up on the right side of the area, and plays a short pass to the onrushing Gaz. His cross is deflected, and Carson saves.
 
Now Ronaldo is fouled on the right, and Giggs will once again take. Surely he will cross now...
 
he does and somehow both Nani and O'Shea miss the ball. Goal kick WBA.
