Man utd was very very good! ManUtd will be win Arsenal

hahaha moral spurs have down only with penalty, very­ easy

united

The way Spurs collapsed against Man U is worrying. OK,­ so the penalty was a home-town decision. But Spurs­ supporters should be more upset by shipping four goals­ after that. Soon as Man U upped the tempo in the second­ half, Spurs couldn’t cope. Most of the Man U goals came­ from the right. This confirms that the Spurs­ left-midfield is weak defensively. Modric is supposed­ to play out left, but he’s more at home in central­ midfield, in the hole behind the strikers. And like­ Lennon and Jenas, Modric is simply not strong enough­ defensively to keep out the likes of Ronaldo, Rooney­ & company. So Spurs need another holding midfielder­ to partner Palacios. Perhaps Corluka, once he no longer­ has to fill in for Hutton at right-back; otherwise­ Zokora or O’Hara. This might mean adopting a 4-2-3-1 or­ 4-5-1 formation against strong attacking sides.
Spurs­ also need to create more balance out wide going­ forward. Much of the attacking threat comes from Lennon­ on the right. On the left there’s too much reliance on­ Assou-Ekotto to overlap from full-back to provide­ crosses. Spurs need a natural left-footed winger. If­ Harry doesn’t rate Bale, he’ll need to buy someone like­ Downing or Duff.
The Man U result may have been a­ blessing in disguise. After the great results of recent­ weeks it looked as if Spurs might challenge the top­ four next season. This result has shown the team is not­ ready yet. It will first have to get a better balance

5-2 to the champions

The other game I referenced was the Newcastle v Man­ City game last October.
Beye dived back to tackle­ Robinho as he entered the box - Beye got a slight touch­ on the ball as well as bringing down the player. The­ ball changed direction slightly. Styles was the­ ref.
This is the incident over which Graham Poll, on­ Setanta's Football Matters show expanded on the­ directives over tackles in the Penalty box.

Part 2
the referee then judges, If the player was not­ taken down, could he have still played the ball and had­ an attempt on goal. If this is true then a penalty is­ given. This applied in the game at newcastle in­ question, and it also applied on saturday against­ tottenham. Carrick nudged the ball round Gomez, Gomez­ got a slight thouch aswell but also brought carrick­ down preventing him from continuing his attack. Nobody­ in commentary or in the studios realised this part of­ the rules. Perhaps we should all actually refresh­ ourselves on the rules and regs with these regards­ before going bananas over these incidents. It would­ also help if refs explained these things more often too

This is driving me crazy, I've written the second­ part 3 times now and it keeps being refused as­ invalid... WHY?????

WHY INV????

football should be like rugby, captains only to­ approach the ref, unless called for..... please dont­ make ronaldo player of the year........diver of the­ year more like it.....cmon on arsenal!!! cmon­ liverpool..........

man u are a load of cheeting w****** i hope arsenal­ batter them in the champions league, arsene wenger­ should speak up like david moyes about the ref before­ the kick off just incase, u just know arsenal will be­ playing for at least 96mins and against 12men, cmon­ arsenal............im a spurs fan by the way!!

Penalty incident.
Need to break this into two, keep­ getting invalid comment
Part 1
Carrick did touch the­ ball to try and round Gomez, but Gomez then got a­ slight touch and brought carrick down. In the past I­ would have said what everyone is saying... Keeper­ touches ball - No penno. But that's actually not­ the directives given to referees.
Graham Poll was on­ Football matters (Setanta) a couple of months ago and­ was asked about a similar incident up at newcastle­ where the Newcastle defender did something similar, ie.­ got a slight touch on the ball and brought attacker­ down in the box. Poll explained that getting a slight­ touch on the ball doesn't give licence to bring the­ player down.

united hope to buy kaka the name says it all should­ fit in nicelly then

wankchester united they even pull the referees plonker

This game was a fraud. Yes I have exposed Manchester­ United on my Youtube site. Profile is SundayFranklin.

Ok so the penalty was a mistake (but i also thought­ Carrick had touched the ball) but the score at the time­ was 2-1 to Spurs
Perryman ect would have rolled their­ sleevs up with indignation but I will tell you ­ spineless lot this they would not have been beaten­ 5-2
and Jermain cry baby jenus go play for arsenal you­ are so usless

did anybody see that cheating dive by that liverpool­ player that won them a free kick so liverpool fans dont­ say it is just man united that get help from the­ referee because you got more help fact is liverpool­ scored 3 goals and man united scored 5 so those­ decisions by the referee that got both teams their­ first goals hardly influenced the outcome so back of­ all you haters just because man united can come from 2­ nil down
glory glory man united
