Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur

Xavi6 · 24-01-2009 6:37pm

Wasn't the worst tackle ever but well worth a yellow at least.

He got nothing for it though.

Some save there.

Royale with Cheese · 24-01-2009 6:38pm

This is gonna finish about 6-1 to United.

Tom65 · 24-01-2009 6:39pm

Who's this Gunter fella?

Harpy · 24-01-2009 6:40pm

i know they play in different positions but if united were ever desperate they could totally at half time or something switch fabio and rafael and not tell anyone..haha

Who needs Nani when you have Wellbeck!

This game is already reminding me of when United got knocked out last year against Pompey.

JPA · 24-01-2009 6:42pm

Wellbeck has done more in this game than the 2 against Derby put together.

He's also looked quality in any game I've seen him play.

Goal................

1 - 1

Scholes

Nobody could deny seeing that coming.

Harpy · 24-01-2009 6:50pm

Good thing he has another 83 minutes to sort it out.

Ahem

MementoMori · 24-01-2009 6:51pm

Bit lucky but cant say it hasnt been coming.

Spurs sitting back since the goal and paid the price.

Clearly not a Scholes goal.

redout · 24-01-2009 6:51pm

2 - 1

Berbatov

Tom65 · 24-01-2009 6:52pm

I'd say 'arry will be fuming over that one. There was no one anywhere near him.

Oh, 2-1. Great goal.

MementoMori · 24-01-2009 6:52pm

Spurs defending = lolerific

Game over now I'd imagine

Good to see the two Spurs rejects

combining

I only reports what I sees. He started the game badly.

DIMITAR BERBATOV! :horray:

WElbeck has looked decent on the right hand side, still not convinced about him though...

You gave the poor guy 7 minutes!!!

Mikeyt086 · 24-01-2009 6:58pm

Danny Welbeck is multi-talented. A great prospect up front, a handful on the wing... And i thought he was really good in the second series of Everybody Hates Chris:

Anyone else get the impression that Ronaldo couldn't give a flying duck about this game? He's doing ok when the ball comes to him but still doesnt seem to have any interest whatsoever.

Carroller16 · 24-01-2009 7:00pm

Who did they say has never played on the winning side for spurs on itv can't rewind it on skyplus

he does seem like he only wants to take 1 touch whenever possible, rather then take the ball on

Raskolnikov · 24-01-2009 7:00pm

With Gary Neville in central defence, this isn't over yet.

Bale I think- thought this was only in the league though?

He's won league cup games for Spurs.

RasTa · 24-01-2009 7:07pm

Fabio looking awesome although Spurs don't look to arsed. Tevez playing out of his skin as always. I've changed my mind sign him up whatever the price!

Raskolnikov · 24-01-2009 7:07pm

Clive Tyldesley is a plank. Wonderful football being played all over the park and all he can praise is Tevez running around like a mad man.

MementoMori · 24-01-2009 7:09pm

Kinda surprising Utd werent looking for a third there in the five mins before half-time. Would imagine they'll start lively looking for a third at the start of the second half as Fergie will really want to avoid a replay.

I wonder how much of Spurs performance is down to being called mish-mash players by their manager as opposed to actually being mish-mash players.

Some of the players would be clearly in the mish-mash camp e.g. Alnwick, BAE
while others are clearly not e.g. Dawson, Modric but what's interesting is the ones who are neither clearly in neither camp.

Aquos76 · 24-01-2009 7:10pm

Here are the goals from the first half
Pavlyuchenko 0-1
Scholes 1-1
Bertatov 2-1

Tevez's chance off the bar
Alnwich saves from tevez

Sounds like a lot of united fans.

That's what I thought about Bale - wasn't watching ITV was watching Setanta at the time, so don't know. Could well be one of the Spurs players who hasnt had a lot of game time e.g. Alnwick, Gunther

Mgoraf · 24-01-2009 7:20pm

Giovani on for Modric. Don't rate this guy at all...

Raskolnikov · 24-01-2009 7:22pm

Xavi6 wrote: »

Only one reference so far, but I'm sure he'll be looking to improve on that.

Bale had a decent chance to put Giovani through to an open goal there.

Mikeyt086 · 24-01-2009 7:22pm

Who Giovani Dos Santos?

He was on the fringes of the Barca first team last year and scored for them a few times. If you are rating him on his Spurs performances then, thats harsh considering he hasnt played.

Nope I'm not. Seen him play for Barcelona quite a few times.

Raskolnikov · 24-01-2009 7:27pm

Fabio crocked.

Eckersley told to warm up.

Spud83 · 24-01-2009 7:29pm

FFS another defender out.

Impressive debut though.
