I thought Wes did quite well today (obviously he is not as good as Vidic but is good enough cover). Hargreaves provided excellent cover in front of the defence from the 2nd half. The crowd chants were good, and the Spurs fans were setting themselves up to be mocked singing at 1-0, but they probably knew it and when, ever, can you sing "Are you Arsenal in disguise?" to United fans. And likewise, it was impossible not to sing it back to them later on :) I’d agree with the KingOfZamunda.

The two Jenas moments came from Hargo having an off moment or two (Hargreaves by the way had me going throughout, roughing up the spurs midfield and making a nuisance of himself- really think we've got that steel in midfield thanks to him!). Wesley put some crucial blocks in and deflected that Malbranque cross onto the post- having a top season is Wesley, and it's looking likely that he'll end up signing the new contract...

Jenas was clear thru and should have scored twice, and Berbatov hit the post!. Until Ronnie got our third, it was a jittery last 15 minutes, when spurs went all commando on us, and attacked with menace. Brown is so lackadaisical and sloppy when he is in the middle of defence. Hurry up back Vid!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed the banter though, and long may our Manchester wit reign against all comers. Spurs were unlucky today though!.
