Our mood celebratory as Tevez and Anderson shine

FORGIVE me for the even heavier air of smugness I am exuding this week but having predicted the Roma match score here last week (and cleaned up at the bookies) I was then thrilled to see the dam burst on Saturday, thus — at long bloody last — fulfilling my weekly promise here that all these strikers would one day pay off.

As we all drenched ourselves in the consequent happiness, I even found the egotistic time to remind myself that I suggested Tevez would come spectacularly good just in time for Senor Maradona.

And so it came to pass; he and Anderson were surely the stars of the show. Yes, yes, it was only Wigan. But then there’s been a lot of “only” teams recently against whom we still only scored once; so you can understand our celebratory mood.
