    I wished he was. His form hasn't been that good and with BAE's comments winding him up he may well have ended up seeing a red card for trying to kick lumps out of him.

    I wouldn't even be too sure Benny said that he's very out spoken but the language used doesn't sound very Benny as in Benny doesn't really speak any English so calling using words like bird and shag I dunno

    Anyone putting any bets on this? Thinking 5/1 is pretty good for a Spurs win, maybe go with a VDV anytime.

    At least the Nani goal wasn't the deciding goal. I have only seen one replay and from what I could see it was a legit goal as the ref never blew for a free in the first place. I think Gomes is at fault here lads.

    Whilst it probably wouldn't have made a difference to the scoreline it is getting towards the hilarious the amount of crazy decisions given in Utd's favour over recent seasons. Clattenburg, those two major decisions aside, usually gets it spot on in most games I see him in. Brown paper envelopes??

    Given our history I'd already put this down to a loss so hopefully we'll get all our luck on Tuesday night.

    Would you not say the ref was for not giving the free in the first place? However, I take your point.

    It should have been a penalty but when it wasn't given what I don't understand is why was gomes going to take the kick out and then Gomes is obviously told something from Clattenberg that makes him stop that's what I don't understand poor reffing no doubt

    Big assumption to make, regardless of the fact there's a good many on this board who started supporting Spurs when we were winning trophies and United weren't.

    Perhaps if there wasn't such hysteria from some our own on the forum they wouldn't be taking the piss quite so much?

    If Gomes thought it was a free why did he steal 12yds from where the offence took place?

    Play the whistle IMHO.

    no, it most definitely is not.

    i agree that there are a couple of overly vocal spurs supporters in there who do the rest of us a bit of a disservice.

    Gomes error, no whistle, he was chancing his arm and got caught.

    You read some tripe on the soccer forum but this just about sums up the bitterness around here.

    Some of the posts on the soccer forum are pretty stupid to be fair. Quite a few 'get back down to your level' and similar posts.

    As for the decision, i'm pretty pissed, but i can see why it was given. Nani may have had a claim for a penalty, but then acted like his bones had been surgically removed, and the ref didnt give it. He then handled the ball, stopping Gomes from playing on, and the linesman raised his flag for a free. Ref overruled him, and let Nani knock it in. How the ref can overrule the linesman when he had no view of what happened is beyond me.

    Either way, the game was over, and we had lost. Losing to utd at Old Trafford isnt that surprising tbh.

    Lineo didn't flag until after the goal was scored by my recollection.

    But why did he flag at all? I was pretty drunk, but what i saw was Nani with his hand on the ball, and the linesman with his flag up. It was all in replays to be fair, as they missed the live goal.
