While watching Man Utd game last night, when Shane Long scored the equalizer i was thinking this week might be a draw game for all big four in the EPL but fortunately they managed to squeezed the goal through at the 80th minutes. Pheww

As a loyal Manchester United fan, it is really good to see Manchester United kick off their campaign by a win at West Brom as they away form last season was really bad.

Hope for another win next week at Old Trafford vs Tottenham!
