It's to be expected that Man Utd will have the majority of possession at Old Trafford. The great thing about this match from a Spurs fan's point of view, is that we clearly got stronger as the game went on. I agree with WSS about the last 30 mins. We looked fairly cool, although it's accepted that Utd had a few chances to score. That said, apart from Pamarot's attempt at an OG, Robinson and King matched anything that was thrown at them with some comfort. A great Spurs performance - the boys should all be proud.Who Shot Sam? wrote:From the bit I saw of the Spurs/ManU match (the final half hour), I think Spurs were the better side. That has to be troubling for ManU, considering that neither Defoe nor Kanoute played. Complete travesty of a refereeing decision. I can only imagine what Ferguson would have said if it had happened to him. Fair dues to Jol for being so classy about it.Otis Westinghouse wrote:Ludicrous. What a fumble by Carroll! I have to concede that Jackson should be laughing not grumbling. That said, it sounded like a poor show that United hadn't scored earlier. Radio 5 reckoned they had had 70% possession. And where the fuck is Defoe, I need the points!
Looks like a decisive night for Chelskinho. Short of some totally unimaginable catastrophe at this stage, that gap is too big to close. Good argument this evening for keeping Gudjohnsen on the bench.
I'm happy to see Drogba scoring goals - I have him on my fantasy team now. I don't think anyone's gonna catch us now. Mourinho inspires such confidence. Our defensive record is simply stunning, and if we can get one of our strikers scoring goals now, we can't be stopped.
Final word about an unsung hero - Michael Carrick was awesome last night in the holding role. His tackling was a revelation. I'd always had him down as a softie at the Hammers, but he gets better with each match.
Chelsea next....and i think that they'll be a lot tougher.
