Awful first half from us.

Crap passing, created nothing, shocking tackles, sloppy as feck and to top it off a dive from Ronaldo.

Some people are never happy...

You're right though.

but I am happy :D
 
Do you guys think he would've dove if Larsson's pen had been called?

Clattenburg :wenger:
 
and I don't care how we win. 3 pts is all I give a feck about today. Can't always be brilliant.

it was a clear penalty against Ronaldo, the defendant touched him, it was not a huge foul, but it doesn't need to be huge to be a foul

Ronaldo did what he needed to do, he felt he was touched, so he fell

good game

hail ronnie :)
 
What is up with that lad Dawson. Went down twice for no reason. Big girls blouse.
 
Shite referee, sloppy passing, misplaced tackles, poor creativity, jammy decision....

Thank feck Ronnie can take a penalty!!!

Ps Is Dawson a total pussy or what???


:D :confused:
 
We need to cause them more trouble. They have to be under pressure. Clattenburg is feckwit but god thanks for that penalty. It will be still a tough job in the second half.

exactly, you don't get any more points for playing well, its all about winning, at whatever cost at this stage of the season.

Do the nice pretty stuff when we're in a decent lead.
 
Anybody knows how many times did Ronnie beat Robinson?
 
Larrson's was definitely a penalty. Ronaldo's dubious. Justice done anyway. Should be 2-0 up. Ronaldo's miss early on was a corker.
Hard game. We'll do well to keep it at this.
 
Shaky first half. Don't know what the ref is at half the time. Yellow on Larsson was laughable. Really need to stick it to them in the opening 10 minutes of the 2nd. Don't just be happy with the 1 goal lead.

It was a dive, no touch at all

alright, doesnt matter how we win, 3 point is everything
 
what a feckin joke this game has been so far. poor first half from the lads, but the ref has ruined what supposed to be a football game. Two blatant penalties not given, and then one is awarded for that joke of a dive. The booking for Larsson, and the one that never was with Zokora were also ridiculous.
The disappointing thing as far as I'm concerned is the unprofessional response from the lads after the penalty that wasn't given for thr trip on Larsson. We could have easily conceded at the other end, and the Rooney booking was also needless.
Also sad to see Ronaldo back to his diving best, though Spurs may deserve this for the fairy that Dawson is. Seem to be in agonising pain whenever people wlak anywhere near him.
 
Just saw a replay of the penalty incident and there was no contact on Ronaldo, its a shame he went down but Mark Clattenburg in keeping with his awful first half awarded us a penalty.
 
A few of our players arn't really at it. We've always looked the more dangerous though, for me.

I'll happily take 1-0
 
The ref has been irratic. Giving vidic the yellow when it was his first tackle, not giving the larsson pen, the rooney foul.

If you're talking about the Rooney challenge on the clearance, he landed on his shoulder, looked very painful actually.
 
On Sky, George Graham reckons it was a penalty. Butch Wilkins disagrees.
 
Spurs will certainly push forward next half, this will hopefully leave room for our counter-attacks.

I'm predicting an early 0-2 by Rooney.

It's a shame we can't win 1.5 - nil.

Sorry but that referee is an embarassment... and I've lost all respect for spurs, bunch of pussys.

totally right, they are diving all over the place and the ref is falling for it.
larssons booking was a total joke.

Totally agree.

A good example where the ref is having too big an effect on the game as a whole.

He should have given both teams a penalty...and then awarded one where Ronaldo dived. No doubt the media are licking their lips at the opportunity to have a go at him and critcise his unsportsmanlike attitude, but hopefully they don't forget Dawson, who, as you pointed out, has been hitting the deck both quicker and with more frequency than Ronaldo.

Anyone have any guesses on the total number of yellow / red cards?????
