Spurs vs Manchester United

Nah, open game, either side could have won it, think we deserved it in the end.

You had 15-20 minutes where you were on top at the start of the second half, and could have scored in the opening 10 minutes. But after you scored I thought we pretty much shut you out, I dont remember a Spurs chance after the (fortunate ;)) Jenas goal.
 
You had 4 chances. One of those was a gift. We should have been three up before you scored.

Was Ruud off-side when he fluffed that chance?

Yes he was off-side.

Spurs had two chances, Defoe's and Dawson. Cant think of another one before we scored.

And no he wasnt. Im pretty sure he was behind the ball.

Defoe could have had a hatrick in the first ten minutes.

The one where he hit the post?

He was behind Neville wasnt he?

No the one where he was one-on-one but Dawson made the tackle.

Nah when he went past Robinson and didn't catch up with the ball.
 
Oh right, forgot about that. Another clear cut chance, Spurs didnt have any of those apart from the goal! :p

I think was just off, yeh. But he was coming back so by the time the linesmans saw he was well in line. Shouldnt have tried to round Robinson though, poor decision making from him in front of goal today, I thought.

Also, who was marking Ruud when he hit the post? Was it Dawson? Think it may have got a nick off of him (Dawson) which put it onto the post.

Come on, it was even in terms of chances. Not once were you through on goal though.

Lennon is an excellent player, by the way, I hope Spurs hold on to him, unless he comes to us :D

Defoe missed a couple of sitters.

Ronaldo had a great chance from a header too.

After they scored, what chances did Spurs have? Dawson had a header from the edge of the area from a free kick, didnt he? Keane had a hit and hope volley. Cant think of any more.

Does your memory only stretch back that far?

After they scored they didn't create any good chances that's true. They had 3 great chances in the first ten then Defoe's chance that resulted in the corner they scored on.

Impressive.

What was the atmosphere like?

United fans sounded good :D

The Spurs fans were in good voice until United scored. Then the United fans made a lot of noise. We picked up a bit when we pulled one back. But essentially it was a bit flat, since we were 2-0 down against the run of play.
 
Van, you appear to have a limited ability to watch a football match.

United's first goal came from a bloody Spurs corner.

And some class attacking play that you failed to match throughout the rest of the game.

Why does that matter?

It was an excellent counter attack, thats what sides do.

Dont be blue, Peter!

I'm just saying, Spurs were dominating, and creating chances, and we got suckered on the counter attack. That is what is termed "against the run of play".

Capiche?
 
I thought this would be in the evening. Oh well, I bet we were brilliant.
