West Ham 23/02/2010
Had a bet on a 4-0 vitory for United. Took the bet at 9-1. With the clock running out and United 3-0 up, Paul Scholes beat three men, charged in to the box, and there he was, clean in for his 100th Premier League goal, to win our bet, it had to be... over the bar.
A sea of green and gold scarves to watch this one, Rooney's first goal is a counter-attack classic and it was Ref Alan Wiley's first visit to Old Trafford since Fergie had blasted him as too unift to ref. Not that the fans would dream of reminding him of that.

Hull City 23/01/2010
The fans were in protesting mood at this game, unfurling banners and singing anti-Glazer songs. On the pitch meanwhile, the game will be remembered for Wayne Rooney's four goals. Two of which I got on camera here.
No music overdub on this video, just straight forward live action with the sound of the crowd.

Arsenal 16/05/09
The final home game of the 2008/09 season, and the final Old Trafford games for Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez. A 0-0 draw was enough to secure the Premiership Trophy for the third season on the run. The trophy was presented to the team at the end of the game.

City 10/05/09
The last goals at Old Trafford for Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez came in this 2-0 derby win. They both had a sulk on it seemed, Ronaldo when substituted, Tevez when he scored. He run up to the directors box and cupped his hands behind his ears letting the directors know what the fans thought of him. Of course, none of us - the fans - knew what was in store at the end of the season for these two. Now that we do know, it all seems to fit. (Ironic that the last goal Tevez scored for West Ham was against United, and his last goal for United against City.)

Arsenal 29/04/09
The Manchester taxi drivers decided to have a protest march through the city just before this game. A Champion's League semi-final no less. The roads around the ground were log-jammed. For a while we didn't think we were going to make it in time. Games don't come much bigger than this at Old Trafford and our stomachs were full of butterflies as we entered the stadium just before the teams walked out. We were relaxed after a short while though. John O'Shea bagged the winner in what was probably the most convincing all-round performance of the season.

Porto 07 April 2009
A full moon over Old Trafford for the the visit of Porto in the quarter final of the Champion's League. The moon drove on Wayne Rooney, more than the rest of the team. A 2-2 draw on the night.

Aston Villa 05 April 2009
The day seventeen year old Federico Macheda came off the bench for his debut appearence, 2-1 down with less than half hour to go. First off, he faced up to Gareth Barry in the box, a bit of push and shove. Ronaldo sneaked an equaliser, then in added on time, Macheda scored a stunning goal in front of the Stretford End to win the match. Pity I didn't film it!
