United Blogger makes his 12 O'Clock Blog debut with this view from the stands on Saturday's win over Bolton...

Cristiano Ronaldo involved in controversy, who would've thought it?

Much has been made of the penalty decision against Bolton, but frankly, you'll see a dozen worse calls made every weekend. Rob Styles is not the brightest of referees but the fact is that Ronaldo was impeded, he did not dive and a soft penalty it may have been, but a penalty it was.

The press have gone overboard, claiming the penalty sealed Bolton's fate. Eh? Nani had more shots on goal in the 15 minutes he played than Bolton had all game. We had more possession (75-25), more successful passes, corners and shots on goal. On any other day, there could have been a tennis score.

It wasn't vintage United in the first half but we still had the majority of the chances with Tevez, Park and Rio all coming close to scoring. The best chance of the half, though, fell to Muamba at the other end who failed to convert the kind of a chance that's harder to miss than to score from.

In the second half, the United juggernaut started rolling and it seemed just a matter of time before the floodgates would open. And after Ronaldo delivered the telling blow, there could only be one winner. Rooney, Scholes and Nani came on and their influence showed immediately as United created a string of back-to-back chances. Evra's diving defensive header released Ronaldo and Rooney latched on to his clever back-heel to curl the ball past Jaaskelainen.

Rooney's goal confirmed 3 deserved and much-needed points. We need to stay in touch with Chelsea and that means winning week in, week out.
