Beast? Not sure I would describe Ryan Shawcross that way, but he is pretty good.

He seems to do well against Wigan, WBA and Stoke.
Those would be the teams he's made consistant apperances against. He's put goals through Cech, Casillas, Lloris, Stekelenberg, amongst others, this year.
I predicted he'd score 5-10 goals this year, he's got 6 in about 15 appearances. Can't say i'm complaining.

Let's not get carried away now.
Whilst playing for the Scum his only goals against teams that don't deserve to be relegated were against Chelsea and Valencia. The one against Chelsea was an open goal and he managed to kick the ball into his face before it bounced into the net. It was also in the Charity Shield, so not exactly important.
Game-winner in Champions League is pretty important though 
If it's so easy to score against those teams, surely experienced EPL players like Arshavin, Anelka, Pavlyuchenko, Kuyt, Rooney, Van Persie, Adebayor would have scored many more goals vs those teams who deserve to be relegated, right?
He's still got a long ways to go to even become a consistent starter, but what hes done in the past year is impressive to even non-united fans.

LOL Arshavin and Adebayor? They couldn't get a goal if the keeper gave them a shot.

That's the key.
Oh, and don't count out Van Persie, he's finally healthy and when healthy, he's a top 5 striker in the Premiere League.

He is right now. And you can't proclaim a player to be one of the best in the league and compare him to another one of the best in the league and say that's he's always injured. When Chicharito is injured, he's no better or worse than Van Persie when he's injured, but when both are healthy, Van Persie is better.

By a long way IMO.
Little Pea, or whatever he is called has shown flashes of what it takes to become a good player but he is going to have to score a lot of goals to erase the memory of that Charity Shield 'ball to face' kick.
One of the funniest goals I've had the pleasure of seeing.

Rumor has it Sketelenberg is the man they're looking at to replace VDS after he retires this yr. Would make an awesome pick up.
Chicharito with another game-winner... no big.
A few papers have you winning the race for Henderson for £20 million over here this morning. I would like to see him finish the year here and hope that as he is Sunderland born and bread he will see the season out.
Re VDS i think that Gordon might end up going to Old Trafford too. We spent 9 Million on him a few years ago and i would want double that if he went.
Both played might make the Wellbeck talks more interesting though.
Chicharito brace, love his 2nd goal: http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/javier-hernandez-2-wigan-8609874/
CL semis important enough?
As long as he gets production from the midfield, Chicharito will lead United to winning the CL cup this year.

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
Marvelous result. I didn't think we'd be able to pull out a draw, and early on it looked like we'd put a few in, so I'm very pleased with the result here. Some spotty reffing that seemed to even out, with one penalty missed on each side. And keeping Chicharito off the score sheet was extra sweet. Granted, the kid looked great early, and that yellow for diving was a little harsh.
So, yeah, I would have loved to have gotten the full 3 after that great start, but I'll take the point.

Howard had stopped a good 4-5 shots from JH today, so relieving to see Hernandez put the game winner past Howard.
