** Live Ford Super Sunday **

How the ref didn't give that penalty for the foul on Rooney. Possibly the most blatent pen on the season

Sure Fergie will mention it and suggest they always have Howard Webb referee their games. Will not harm them n too much in their quest for the title I don't think.

FFS I would have made about 200 quid if it had stayed as it was. Had RVP first goalscorer, RVP last goalscorer, Man United win with RVP anytime and Man United win

Just saw the replay from the refs angle, looked to me like rooney ran behind the spurs player trying to make the contact to me, or at least that it looked like that could bean interpretation of it.

Good performance from Spurs, were the better team for most of the game. AVB has done a pretty good job so far, playing much better football than under harry.

Read somewhere the makers of on line games like FIFA13 have done a computerized forecast of how the league will finish up and the top 5 were United City Chelsea Arsenal and Spurs 5th just missing out on Champions League. I hope that they have 4th and 5th the wrong way around.

lots of debate on 606 about Ashley Cole's deliberate trip on Sagna in the last few minutes which could well of prevented him scoring. knew exactly what he was doing and got a yellow

cheating, gamesmanship or perfectly fine?

 

[Triggaaar]

Hahaha. It's happened to them for a change

Indeed, 15 shots for Spurs vs 4, Man U sat back and paid the price. If that was us the usual idiots would be saying Gus is crap - so does that mean Fergie doesn't know what he's doing then?

Penalty yes, but not that obvious from the refs position, it could have looked like the defender got the ball.

The sort of thing I'd expect any player to do in that situation. Took a yellow card for his team. Doesn't make it right, but he had to do it.

Great, the title race might be back on, it was a forgone conclusion up to now.

Then surely it was never a forgone conclusion...

It's the sort of thing everyone accepts because everyone does it. If it was up to me, deliberately fouling someone like that would be an automatic red card, regardless of whether it denied a clear goal scoring opportunity, whether it was excessive, whether it risked a players health, etc.

I think deliberately fouling someone because if you don't they could break clear and be in on goal is lazy, cowardly, and cheating.

Sat Back? I don't think so, credit to Spurs for forcing them back. Fergie actually made attacking substitutions bringing Rooney on for Kagawa, then Valencia on for Cleverly. That meant United had 3 centre forwards on at the end.

Spurs deserved the point in the end, possibly all 3, but I disagree that MU tactically sat back, I think Spurs played well, and put a lot of pressure on MU who naturally were slightly conservative for a lead to defend, and Spurs taking more risks as the game went on.

Tactical foul - you see it at every level and if an Albion player didn't take a yellow card for the team in that situation then I'd be pissed off about it.
