Here is headline from my Fascist Daily (Torygraph).

SPORT Solskjaer delivers for 'new' boss' MAINTAINING an ancient footballing tradition of teams trying to impress their new manager, Manchester United's players comfortably defeated Charlton Athletic.

"Comfortably defeated Charlton Athletic".

Was this the same game I watch on TV Where the home team in red had 70 % of possession should have scored 5 goals, had one chalked off from a very close/dubious decision, had a goal scored against them when free-kick for them should have been awarded???

Had the Toon played the team in white Shearer would have got 5 Robert 1 Bellamy 1 and young Bell would doubtless have missed 6 more. Comfortable?? Perhaps they are talking about a diffeent game??

My opinion of that game would be probably right in the middle of the Torygraph's and your's Derek.

Charlton were better than "comfotably beaten would suggest", but they were awful in the final third. Astray passes, mishit shots and although they should have had the offside goal, these things happen.
