Just as well VDS got a hand on that, was looking like a poxy ball from Lennon straight to the UTd defenders.

He usually hits the first man, but I thought he put it into a dangerous area.

Bolton have peno at Reading game, Matt Taylor shot saved.

Need to see again but think it could have been red.

Belletti gets away with a blatant handball and Pamarot hits the bar. Chelsea to win 1-0

KdjaCL

Not a chance utd wil finish with 11 men, from whinging to late tackles to stupid hand balls they seriously "boiling over"


Hargreaves wasnt booked

Maybe Ronaldo didnt wave the imaginary card. Would have thought he was only doing it in the interest of fairness earlier so would ask for them for both sides.

KdjaCL

Will spurs blow it 2nd half or will united 99th minute peno be a dive?

Tottenham are set up to foul Ronaldo! it's a joke. they have had three yellows and all against ronaldo. they are closing down well though which is why they are winning.

PHB

ugh, what a terrible reffing performance.

Clearly a penalty against United.
Clearly a handball by Jenas
Very close to a red card by Brown
Ronaldo getting fouled every single time he gets the ball, 3 players have creamed him now.
Utterly inconsistant in every decision
Totally lost control of the game

In terms of the game, I think the second half will be different. Spurs are rapidly running out of players to foul Ronaldo. If they keep it up, they are either gona get somebody sent off, or else have to let him actually play.
Giggs has been woeful, and to be honest, Scholes has been off kilter. Hargreaves really isn't doing much, not providing protection, and since he's got very little going forward, has very little to do.
The substitutions I'd make?
Bring on Anderson for Scholes, Nani for Giggs, Carrick for Hargreaves.

I think the 2nd half will be better for United, if only because Ronaldo can have more of an influence since they can't keep fouling him. The idea that he shouldn't wave an imaginary yellow card is crap. He is getting fouled every single time he gets the ball, every single time. If they don't get booked, they are gona keep doing it. It's not that they are doing late tackles, they are literally just fouling him every time. If the ref isn't giving him the protection he should, he should tell the ref.

estebancambias

No they're winning because Berbatov scored and they have passed the ball great.

PHB

Carrick on for Hargreaves, good move from Fergie, think Anderson might come on for Scholes later.

Reading losing again I see. They're being sucked right into the relegation scrap. Terrible form over the last couple of months.

Xavi6

Pompey should be 1 up. Defoe looking good.

Guy:Incognito

Not just in this game but all the time. How do both linesmen and refs miss the really obvious push in hte back from the defenders when the ball is dropping, Vidic on Berbatov was a classic example. Surely thats exactly the place the linesman should be looking?

Guy:Incognito

HEHE "What an awful shot from Keane" . I love it when commentators just come out and say it like that instead of the usual "well, he could have done better"

mike65

Bolton 2 up
Chelsea scores

Mike.

Xavi6

Pompey robbed of a peno down one end, Chelsea break and score.

It's baffling how linesmen can miss things from only yards away, with a perfect view right across the pitch. The same happened in the rugby today. Do the linesmen just bottle it sometimes?

PHB

Good subs, heres a chance for Anderson and Nani to prove their worth.

Two clear penalties missed again. Vidic on Berbatov. Dawson (I think) on Ronaldo. Both clear pushes in the back

Xavi6

Defoe scores

estebancambias

Mike clattenburg hates United? Eh no, that should have been a red card. Horrible tackle.

Guy:Incognito

That was a bad tackle by Nani, easily could have walked.

This could finish up with yellows all round.

KdjaCL

2 united players should have had red cards, spot on PHB the ref is inconsistent but consistently inconsistent for both teams


Dawson should have went too hit VDS in the face intentional possibly.

kdjac

PHB

Horrid tackle, should have been a red for Nani.
Dawson whacks VDS in the face there.

Clattenburg likes to try get a physical game going, but is so utterly inconcistant it doesn't work.
He also hates Ronaldo and if given any sort of chance will send him off.

Just utterly terrible reffing, all round, just terrible.

p.s. How **** was Keane and how amazing is Berbatov.

KdjaCL

3-3 all on the peno that never was count.

Spurs defending very wel but on the break the keep fecking it up (que 2nd goal on the break)



kdjac

estebancambias

Hutton is really good.

PHB

Hand ball there maybe for Evra.

It's just such a bad reffing performance its unreal. What has he got right?

p.s. Portsmouth score, thank god.

I've actually lost count of how much possession United have given away. I can think of maybe 10-15 occassions where a United player has passed the ball directly to a Spurs player.

I'm hopeful in this last 15 minutes Spurs will start to get tired, they are playing an incredibly high tempo game.

Jesus Anderson came close there, great save

Chardee MacDennis

I didnt think Dawson touched VDS's face, it looked like their arms collided.

Xavi6

Crackin game at Fratton Park now. Belletti almost scoring

estebancambias

Me thinks Reading are going down.

KdjaCL

Berbatov done more work in this game than in all the other games i seen him in this season, he looks up for it. What did Sam say to him?


kdjac

PHB

He said if you play well United will sign you

I think Spurs are really doing well to exposure Uniteds real weakness, which is they really don't have an alternative , nobody up front to win headers. So if they play an incredibly high tempo game up front, closing down non-stop, Spurs contain them to long balls. Then once United can't get any decent ball, their passing gets worse.

Pepe LeFrits

Spurs are tiring, United look like they might get something now.

PHB

United are finally starting to turn the screw a little, Spurs are starting to tire, starting to think we might be able to get a draw, maybe

Anyone else seeing a tired leg giving away a penalty :P

Sometimes I just love Keane, he appeals for absolutely everything, even when it clearly touched Vidic's head.

Rooney clearly dived there, there was no need either, he could easily have gotten on the end of that. Smacks of lack of confidence to me.

estebancambias

Rooney what a terrible person. Macari says he never has seen Rooney Dive!"!!! Hhahahah

Guy:Incognito

Another yellow , Rooney dive.

KdjaCL

Ronaldo Rooney booked for diving....



kdjac

Pepe LeFrits

Nice to him get the card instead of the penalty for a change.

Guy:Incognito

Plenty of time for the usual 2 Utd goals.

PHB

Anyone else think this is the worst they've ever seen Evra in a United shirt? Has been utterly utterly woeful today.

Ok, Ronaldo fouled again, Ronnie gona take it, dear god It's really set up for a curler, shifts it to Rooney, poor decision I think.

KdjaCL

Spurs implode at the back, they been deadly for 87 minutes then start panicing.


kdjac

Guy:Incognito

Surprised fergie has only asked for 3 minutes injury time, he must be confindent of 2 quick goals.:D

estebancambias

Those American tycoons have really helped Derby, Villa scores for them.

KdjaCL

are we playing till united score ?


kdjac

PHB

Jesus, last kick of the game, VDS coming up for the corner maybe?
