If it wasn't for some seriously **** shooting from us...that would have been a cricket score.

That's football for you though...got to take your chances.

Still the 6th biggest team is sat in 3rd and for a team that lost its manager and star players in the summer that isn't too shabby

Onto to the Fulham game we go.

Come on City <ok>

Both top quality players. Cannot understand why they aren't guaranteed starters in that team.

Herrera is guaranteed now I’d say. Mata isn’t fast enough, but is a great player to have on the pitch when we aren’t relying on our pace to win games.

No it wouldn’t, Kane missed a chance from the same spot Rashford scored from. If that went in, we wake up, stop sitting back and stick you lot on the back foot again. You only looked good when we sat back and stopped hounding the ball.

Rashford took his chance we'll I'm not denying that...he hit it in the one place he could hit it...you just knew it was going to the lower far post...Loris ****ed his angles up but that's not the point but smart finish from the black Harry Kane

We missed a hatful down to our own incompetency. You lot parked the bus really well though in the 2nd half...I thought Mourinho would have taken his buses with him but obviously not

Well played United

We did park the bus.

Crucially though, before that, we butchered you lot and showed you that those days are over now.

I wouldn’t say he’s **** but he’s certainly not brave.

In the 2nd half you weathered a storm like we did against Chelsea in the League cup. His options are limited...that limits the scope of bravery sometimes. Still prone to brain farts though...still a young manager....Ole got a long way to go himself

No one has ever claimed Ole is a brilliant manager. The only claims about him, mostly from Spurs fans bizarrely, have been that his United team have only played and beaten crap opposition.

Not just Spurs fans...everyone knows you've had a handy set of fixtures...but they beat a good team yesterday...that's why it wasn't a walk in the park.

Well played though...I hope this means Levy pulls his finger out of his arse and puts his hand in his pocket...doubt it though

True although the same could be said for Man Utd; had they taken their chances in the first half they'd have been out of sight by HT.

Not welching, at all.

It's all within the parameters of the bet, laid down at the time I offered it, and Tel accepted.

I specifically laid down that rule so that neither you nor anyone else (but especially you) gets to choose the avatar.

It's a United v Spurs bet, not an Arsenal v Spurs bet.

Tel's probably dreaming up some abomination involving Berbatov lifting the title, even as I write these words! Oh! That would be like a knife through my heart!

Please don't have an avatar of Berbatov lifting the title, Tel! That would really hurt me.

I'm not choosing the avatar, Tel is. All of those images are freely available for anybody to see on the internet. So whatever Tel chooses you have to have.

So stop acting like a pussy :)
 
I think the Utd Spurs game was closer than is being made out this was no smash and grab by Utd they played well and got their reward and then defended well.

I'm looking at it from what is the expected outcome...i.e Kane had 7 shots...all to the keeper...usually two of them go in...he wasn't his clinical self. United fluffing their chances is pretty normal....Spurs fluffing their chances is pretty normal...not Kane though.

No excuses though...best team won.
