I also thought Anderson played very well with Gibson in the middle. Scholes again looked a sad and sorry shadow of his former self.
Slightly negative, the large crowd means that the semi-finals won't be taken away from Wembley any time soon, which is a shame for a number of reasons:
1) It's too far for two NW sides to travel.
2) It takes away the magic of the final.
3) It's too expensive.
4) The pitch is possibly the worst in England, it cut up after 10 minutes of the Arsenal/Chelsea game and it was fooking awful for our game.
Yep, Ferdinand and Vidic on your side were on top, and Jagielka and Lescott shut down the United attack, one for the purists that!
And regardless of the crowd, aren't the FA contracted to take the semis there for 30+ years? Shame, takes the shine off the final now, much less of an occasion.
