Monday Night Football ***Man United vs Spurs***

[Sylar]

I'm really looking forward to this game tonight. A weakened Man Utd side, without Ferdinand and Vidic (and with De Gea in goals) up against a Spurs side who had bags of potential last season, but haven't yet played a proper competitive game this season yet (well, it wasn't, was it?).

Gareth Bale to bag a hat-trick and save a rather poor week for my fantasy side :greengrin

[HibeePaj]

My money is on a 3-3 draw tonight....

...and a Patrice Evra hat-trick to round of a winning week on fantasy:wink:

Anyone who has watched a decent amount of Spanish football over the years knows that De Gea is a class act. He's young and will make mistakes but I expect him to be the United keeper for the next decade.

[CFC]

Speaking of Utds keeper anyone mind how many keepers they tried from the great dane to vds? I recall: bosnich, taibi, barthez, howard, carroll where there any others?

[Mark79]

Goram?

Watching the game just now I noticed the spurs goalie top (puma) has the 2 sloping stripes that our home top has. Did I read at the launch of the home kit that the stripes were to represent the old easter rd slope? :confused:

United 1-0 Spurs: Danny Welbeck. Great header.

[Cropley10]

Goram?

Aye The Goalie played for Man U.

[greenlex]

Quality 2nd goal. :agree: 2-0 Man Utd. They are threatening to run riot. First to everything.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Hearts must be really p1sh :greengrin

[greenlex]

Hearts must be really p1sh :greengrin
They are. Man Utd would take about a gazillion of them inside 30mins.:agree:

[YehButNoBut]

Hearts must be really p1sh :greengrin

:agree:

Wellbeck looking superb this season.

[Kaiser1962]

They are. Man Utd would take about a gazillion of them inside 30mins.:agree:

If Utd score again Spurs go bottom.

No. They represent the decline in our team over the last 5 years.

[Kaiser1962]

No. They represent the decline in our team over the last 5 years.

Or the increase in our performances over the next 5 :greengrin

[Kaiser1962]

And Spurs are now bottom of the premier league!

[iwasthere1972]

Or the increase in our performances over the next 5 :greengrin

Is that you Colin?

[Jonnyboy]

Quality 2nd goal. :agree: 2-0 Man Utd. They are threatening to run riot. First to everything.

Running riot in Manchester? Surely not :greengrin

[Kaiser1962]

Is that you Colin?

I'm not sure he can type.......

[Sean1875]

Our final ball just wasn't good enough tonight. Still reckon Man Utd will be league champions with 6 games to go though, cant realistically expect to win at Old Trafford but dissapointed given the way we started the second half as thought we could have really pushed on.

[stokesmessiah]

Hearts must be really p1sh :greengrin

A work colleague of mine who is a Man Utd fan/glory hunter was at Old Trafford tonight just text me to say that a section around him were singing "Are you Hearts in disguise" :greengrin

[CFC]

United will piss this league, no question. Hats off theyve got another good crop of youngsters coming through. Edit - meant to add think City will struggle to be as consistent as Utd

What's this "we" rubbish? A clean sheet for Man U is good news for my FF team

Hibs come first of course! But in terms of English football its Spurs all the way :thumbsup:

[Sir David Gray]

Missed the first half but the second half was absolutely brilliant football by United.

The move that led to Anderson's goal was outstanding, particularly Welbeck's backheel.

United really looked like scoring every time they had possession of the ball. De Gea still worries me slightly in goal and that may prove to be their biggest weakness this season.

Manchester Utd only dropped two points at Old Trafford during the whole of last season and on tonight's evidence, I wouldn't bet against them repeating something similar this season. It just shows how good a squad they've got when they can afford to keep the likes of Giggs, Carrick, Park, Berbatov and Hernandez on the bench and Ferdinand, Vidic, Owen and Valencia weren't in the squad at all.

It's scary to think what United would have done to Hearts if they had been at Tynecastle last week, based on how they dominated Tottenham tonight. Spurs' only change from the game against Hearts was to bring in Brad Friedel for Heurelho Gomes.

I suppose we can't really talk too much either. What I saw tonight could barely be described as being the same sport to the one that I watch every week.

Didn't hear of any delays with fans getting in late to Old Trafford last night. :confused:
