Manchester United v. Tottenham Hotspur MINUTE BY MINUTE

Goal for Manchester United!!! 4-2!!

Rooney again after a superb chip by Ronaldo to find him at the back post, the ball eventually crosses the line despite Woodgates frantic attempts!

The fans sing "Are you watching Merseyside?".

No. They've turned off by now.
 
The crowd is going fecking nuts and rightly so this 2nd half performace has been absolutely brilliant, since United scored the first they turned the afterburners. Have Tevez was the difference maker, worked his socks off even when United were down 2-0, there was a point where he closed down 4 players in the span of 30 seconds didnt win the ball but showed that United were not gonna go quietly into the night.

Rooney with a chip saved by Gomes
 
Great effort by Bent curls just wide reckon VDS had it covered
 
Darren Bent with an imaginative effort sailing just past Van Der Sar's far post.

The crowd at Old Trafford is going absolutely nuts, and deservedly so. A real gem of a second half performance here.

Similar to our 4-2 win against Everton did I say? Too fecking right!
 
Handball by Scholes or Rooney would have been in for the hat trick there
 
Rainbow by Berbatov saved by Gomes who was off the line
 
Berbatov with a ridiculous attempted volley from the halfway line but Gomes got back in time.

Can I just tell you that theres a guy on an Irish soccer forum I go to who backed a 5-2 in at 250-1 at half time!

5-2!!!!!!!!!!
 
Goal for Manchester United!!! 5-2!!

Berbatovs header from Rooney's cross (again!) is spilled by Gomes, and the Bulgarian slides in the fifth for an emphatic comeback.

...just as I told you about the 250-1 longshot! Wow!
 
It was a lovely play by Rooney who could have played it to Ronaldo early, who made a great run and sucked in teh defense, which left a hole for Berbatov whose first attempt was saved by Gomes who actually been brilliant today, but the second was from a foot away and with the keeper down.
 
The crowd is celebrating as if United have won the title...
 
Howard Webb just fell down huge cheers from the crowd
 
Howard Webb falls on his arse as every United touch is cheered by the home support.

You gotta love this club.
 
Nearly by Rooney who was played in by Scholes, but his first touch let him down would have been a wonderful goal had he scored it.

5 goals in 22 minutes.

Wayne Rooney with 2 goals, 2 assists and the assist for the penalty. Beautiful.
 
Great save by VDS on Keane

Ronaldo with a great run and nearly played in Tevez for his first
 
Showboating now from United as they keep the ball effortlessly.

Dont count against a 6th here, this second half has been wonderful for our goal difference as well. Spurs decline has been shocking.
 
Tevez beats his man but overcooks a cross to Rooney

Bale and Huddlestone on for Modric and Keane
 
Rooney and Ronaldo have been magnificent this evening, fecking brilliant. Rooney has probably been a little better, but it was Ronaldo who stepped up and took the all important first one that mattered so much.

Just wide by Ronaldo
 
Lennon hits side netting but was offside regardless
 
Well, as we approach full time on my first minute-by-minute commentary experience, I dont think I could have picked a better one.

A fantastic second half which has erased the first half from my memory. Vintage United, and a comeback that only this club is capable of.

My man of the match selection goes to Wayne Rooney, but it could easily have been Cristiano Ronaldo. Rooney edges however because those goal and assist statistics edge him out in front.
 
Rooney and Ronaldo nearly team up again, fecking special that pair


the whistle blows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
My thoughts to follow.. when there are less people on here
 
Overall 10

United are the team who can do this, make a certain look defeat turn into a blowout victory. United were good in the first half other than the goals which came down to mistakes, whihc made think of the Liverpool match and just hope that United hit back and equalize. United should buy Lennon and pedal him to Real, as the new Ronaldo, because he is fecking great v United. The second, well that is the stuff legends are made off. The penalty, was it a peno, ummmm yeah last time I checked taking down the opposition in the box was one. The moment of the match was when Ronaldo stepped up to take it tough, he knew it was all down to him, he fecking even though about, then he closed his eyes and put in the back of the net. Not only that, quickly retrieved the ball from the net and ran back to the halfway line. It was on from that moment on. Rooney then after being played in by tevez showed his quality. The winner is what will stick with me though, a diving header from Ronaldo, we all knew it was coming but that quick after Rooney's surely based off of most of this season I would have thought it would have taken til around the 90th. And then Roonie returned the favor for Rooney, and Berbs put the icing on the cake. Bring on Arsenal I have been waiting all fecking year for a performance like this and it has finally come! Rooney and Ronaldo are legends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
