Absolutely Fantastic. 90 minutes of that second half showing against Arseholes on Wednesday will do very nicely thank you.
thanks scott
What a game.The third goal is the special one.From Evra’s missed extravagant pass at first to Rooney’s turn to Ronnie’s celebration.He loves United he does!
Oh dear oh dear, you’ve brought the title again. You should be ashamed! As a spurs fan I’ll be cheering Arsenal in the CL, that’s how bad it is. Football has gone to sh**, thank you Howard Webb!!!
lol brilliant
absolutely brilliant
rooney, ronaldo
lets not forget berbatov…
his last game.. he missed a penalty?
what does he do
absolutely shows his class
and to the fans that booed him, shame on you
you can never call yourself man utd fans
berbatov is class and showed it today
the best passer of the ball alongside rooney
and also tevez changed the momentum
brilliant
THATS WHY WERE CHAMPIONS!!!!
now arsenal’s turn??
anderson will hopefully play and run the midfield
excellent!!
@costas, he throws our shirt away and you said he loves us? lol
Can tv commentators get done for ‘ fetching the game into disrepute ‘
The Setanta crew slagged off everything Berbatov did in the first half
and were obsessed with the penalty incident all through the second
That’s another lot that Sir Alex wont be speaking to after he has watched
the recording
Did theysay anything about Masherano’s dive earlier in the day tommy taylor?Probably not.
I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS ABOUT UTD FORGET THE PENALTY WERE DID UTD PLAYERS GET THE ENERGY BOOST FROM AT HALF TIME TO SCORE 5 GOALS IN LESS THAN 20 MINS YOU SEE I NO THE REAL ANSWER ?. AND WHEN SPURS WERE 2-0 DOWN AND UTD GOD BLESS THEM WERE TIRED FROM PLAYING WED AND SAT, I TOLD MY MATE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THE SECOND HALF I TOLD HIM UTD WOULD GET A PENALTY AND WE WOULD BE OVERUN AND GET HAMMERED.HE LAUGHED AT ME UNTILL HE CAME RUNNING OUT OF THE HOUSE AND SAID UTD HAVE A PENALTY .IF THINGS ARE DONE RIGHT AT HALF TIME IT CAN CHANGE A GAME YOU SEE THE PENALTY WHAS A MISTAKE THE OTHER 4 GOALS WASENT THEY WERE ENERGY BOOSTED AT HALF TIME .WORK THIS OUT AND YOU HAVE THE ANSWER WHY SPURS CONCEDED 5 GOALS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR AND UTD ARE ONE OF ONLY THREE TEAMS WHO COULD HAVE DONE THIS ENERGY BOOSTING SCORE AGAINST SPURS AND THEY PLAYED OUT ANOTHER BOOSTING RESULT 4-4 GOOD LUCK ON WED THAT COULD END UP 10-10 ON AGGREGATE .
Thanx davspurs.Rough luck today.I have the same question.Where did our energy come from?This must strike fear into the hearts of the opposition.Could we have finally found our next gear?This was more vintage than the Roma game or even the Newcastle home game last year.5 goals in 22 minutes is unheard of.
Any of u notice berba had a class game??
I don’t understand why they’re saying it’s not a penalty on MoTD, enlighten me…please?
Little Miss i will explain to you with 3 letters: A B U
They may want to spin this everyway they want but the fact is that 5 goals in 22 minutes don’t happen simply because of a penalty.United were better even in the first half for me.
they say that…gomes got some contact with the ball..before he took out carrick…..it just looks like he got a faint touch….not sure though…
but thts fckin brilliant…..roon and ron deadly combination…unlocked by classy berba and fantastic tevez….thts d best attackin football i hav seen from the team in this season…in the second half….keep it up lads…
but the way…the ABU..take away the credit..for the awesome attacking play…puttin up the penalty decision in to picture…is disgraceful…
Any mention of the Mascerano dive?
Thats the problem lads (SECOND HALF) ROAD RUNNER RON AND ROONEY KANGAROO AND THE TAZMANIAN DEVIL TEVES HAD BEEN SWALLOWING THE PHYSIOS SWEETS YOUR GETTING BAD HABITS LIKE THE DURACEL BUNNIES UP THE ROAD THEY HAVE RED FACES TOOOOOO? THEY SAY DESPERATE IS HAS DESPERATE DOS ROONY SAID FERGIE TOLD US TO PLAY FASTER .I BETTER TELL HARRY THTA ONE DONT FORGET TO STUFF THE ARSOLES FOR GIVING YOU THREE POINTS
damn! i missed the match! anyone knows where i can watch the full replay?
Thanks
what the fck is goin on wid evra…completely out of sorts……with him in that kinda form..against walcott..thts a nightmare..
All statisticks show that United were the better team. Only our flat display in the first half made them look good. They scored against the run of play.

Even before the penalty, We showed that we were up for it and had started the second half brightly and passionately and it was only a matter of minutes before we would score. After the penalty, Spurs still had the lead, and only have themselves to blame for loosing their head. The penalty incident only is being used as an exuse for their defeat. They simply could not match United
On another toppic, Tommy Taylor is absolutely right. Most Setanta pundits are a discgrace. I have never seen a pundit like Craig Burley, who openly hates United. His comments are very irritating to say the least.
It was so nice to see McMannaman’s haftime joy turn into nightmare.
Hollow, thats how you must feel.
A vacuous feeling that only corrupt cheats know.
Seriously the game means nothing after incidents like today.
I hope you are happy.
Sick.
rooney is a fkin genius! playin soooo well
Craig Burley? Really? Why would anyone take him as a pundit? As Roy would say,what success has he had as a manager?Take Neal Warnock!He can’t be that bad!
Berbatov’s passing was world class. Rooney gave a 10/10 performance. Old Rubber Face forgets that a shit decision when Ronaldo didnt’ get a penalty after Distin’s foul got his shower of shite the the Cup Final last year. Justice done and a timely boost of confidence for the home straight.
Burley, Redknapp, McManaman go eat shit.
disgrace
your a disgrace
Ancha ; dont know wats going on with him every time lennon had the ball evra shit himself >:( up untill we scored our first goal ;D
>(
Did a scouser just come in here as HWEBB? What are you afraid of?Tells us what team you support.That’s the real disgrace.
Its getting i cant watch football on any sation all liverpool loving inbread cunts who their mothers for extra benifits.
Sing it to tune of ”coolio see you when you get there.”
I’ll see you at the welfare, see you at the welfare see you at the welfare!!!!!!!
so ifvan de saar had bought down keane and we’d have been given THAT no penalty to go 3-0 up you have disputed the deccision?! though not. take of the red goggles and be honest, it simply wasnt a penalty and the decison won the game for you.
HWEBB maybe your name should be SEVENMINUTES bitter cunt
Your a disgrace. Your pitiful hellhole was like a library apart from the generic United grunts of the deluded “fans”.
Your “brand” is insurmountable. Scholes should have been off after 5 minutes of coming on.
Your Portugese are a diving disgrace. Your “team” are a disgrace.
I couldn’t care if it was 26-2.
Howard Webb and his cohorts (the twats in red) ripped our hearts out with that decision and once again, like Berbatoss’ two penalties that never were at your Megastore last year… you are a bunch of cheating, deceitful and horrible c*nts.
Mendes?!.
Old Trafford is everything that is wrong with the game and whats more you know it.
Tottenham fan i gather. No one told you to sit back and get eaten up. I bet you couldn’t believe your eyes at half time but you would never admit that.Talk about deluded.Carrick takes the ball away before Gomes catches him.THAT is a penalty.And THAT is a red card.So thank the twat in red.Why are we a disgrace?We didn’t poison your team on the final day 3 years ago did we?Others did.Oh i forgot,you are hush hush about that now.
HWEBB, you such a wanker, take your beating and your bleating back to White Shyte Lane you sad yid fuck!
Incredible!
THIS is the reason I support Manchester United. ‘Nuff said.
Fuck off HWEBB I actually find it funny that you have become so jealous and desperate, it has lead to delusion.
I fucking love seeing Scousers who are not only saying it to clutch at straws, but now actually believe that football is corrupted just so we can win. Nothing to do with us being better is it?
Open your fucking eyes you thick scouse twats! Do you not get an education in Liverpool or Norway or wherever you are from? When the statistics actually show that Liverpool have been favoured more by refs this season, and that the FA find any little excuse to harshly punish any United player they can, your lot still argue that we are favoured by refs and those cunts at the FA!
We scored 5 goals today, I didn’t realise that they were all from wrong penalty decisions! Also, from where I was sitting it looked like a stone wall pen, only when I got home did I see that it was dubious. In real time it looked a pen.
Do you guys conveniently forget that we were denied a clear pen last week that cost us the match and the chance of an FA Cup final? Or do you just prefer to ignore it so your little conspiracy theories can remain?
It just shows your supporters’ lack of class really. You can’t accept we are a good team, so you call us cheats. Do we call you cheats and lucky whenever you grab a late goal (which you have done more than anyone else this season also)? NO. That’s because we know that it is the sign of a great team, and we haven’t got that inferiority complex and jealously that has built up inside your lot for the past 19 years.
We’re a good team. We have a good manager. We have good players. We win things because of those things. GET OVER IT!
BTW that rant still stands even if HWEBB isn’t a Scouser.
I lost a lot of respect for Spurs fans last summer anyway so you lot can fuck off too.
wow, being bitter has its limits, but apparently not. you’re an idiot HWEBB, as are bitter pool fans, and everyone else out there complaining about a penalty. We got robbed of an FA cup final not so long ago, if you care to remember. football fans, like all individuals passionate about one thing or another, are always likely to see themselves as righteous and sinned against. That’s elementary psychology. That’s true of united fans as much as it is of any other club’s fans. But mature fans, beyond that brief moment of passion, realize that all this is part of the game…you need to freaking get over it! And btw, if you were denied a similar shout, do not fucking tell me you wouldn’t be on here calling us cheats again…so shut up and grow up…
I’m sure the spuds shop will be selling the first half on DVD…sad, sad bunch they are!
Seems like Fergie has finally found the formula in the team that will allow the Awesome FoursomeTM: Waza, Dimi, Ronny and Carlito to all work in tandem together…
Was simply breathtaking to watch. The movement, passing and speed totally overwhelmed tottenham. With Berba pulling the strings dictating tempo ahead of a Fletcher/Anderson/Carrick/Scholes duo, this will allow last seasons trinity to interchange and feed off Berba’s magic!
Ha ha. Top thread.
Spurs and man u arguing, its like two filthy pisshead tramps fighting.
Magical
See you wankers wednesday for a proper game.
Bring your favourite refs, and make sure Slur Alex has had a few so he’s at his best.
Nice one for beating Spurs though, I’ve always got time for that.
your friend
Genre Kelly
Hey Genre Kelly.You also bring your captain who likes to spit and throw pizza slices.It will be a cracking game.
He’ll be there Costas. So will I.
I’ll bring the Pizza and saliva.
You going to the game?
Costas?
Genre Kelly – you had time for us doing over the spuds, and we had plenty of time for you taking two points off the ‘pool. (pity it wasn’t three)
Come Wednesday, it’s going to be real football – can’t wait!!!
Mahesh it was almost three points for you but we are missing 5 first teamers. We still gave the scouse a lesson in manners.
We did our best because we want to make sure that there can be no excuses for you lot on wednesday.
You’ll be at the game as well as Costas right?
Costas? where are you mate?
Pretty difficult Genre.I am Greek.
Sorry for the delay.
No Genre Kelly, I will not be at the game – I dearly wish I could but no I won’t be there.
Berba is pure class! lets see what happens when he actually gets cheered!!!
dunno y u mancs r so touchy about the penalty! it obviously was a penalty, that is not even up for debate. gomes touched the before takin out carrick…. fact! if it wasn’t given, every1 would be sayin ‘great save’ and ‘right decision ref’. i genuinely like man u, i like their attacking style so have no personal problems wit them, i look forward to this fixture, its normally a good game of football. however, i do find this defeat a difficult pill to swallow. anyone who actually plays football at a competitive level knows that Wen a bad decision is given against you, its so difficult to re focus and not feel sorry for yourself. they might be professional footballers but they are human beings, it was a real sucker punch. that’s not to excuse the way we folded after that, or not to say utd weren’t the better team… Coz they were but, that penalty decision changed the face of the game, that too is a fact. again, im not sayin that utd wouldn’t have comeback anyway but that completely changed the mental attitude of both sets of players. if you don’t understand that then im sorry but u ain’t got a clue anyway and are probably some degenerate armchair football know it all. im merely stating facts. as a spurs fan, i am quite disappointed that redknapp didn’t take off corluka for hutton as i feel he was at fault for at least 2 of the goals today, class player but bad day at the office. disappointed in keane not rallyin the troops to get stuck in, blood sweat and tears, to protect our lead. disappointed that huddlestone didn’t come on earlier to keep hold of the ball. sounds pretty logical to me, but hey, that’s y im a train driver and not a football manager! anyway, i don’t mind losin to man u Coz if im honest, i don’t expect much from the game but the manner that it keeps happenin is frustrating. mendes, the tevez in 9 millionth minute injury time and now this! its a shame but i am almost startin to expect controversies and that’s not good.

Pretty difficult Genre.I am Greek.
So what? dont come on here and mouth off about “your team” when you cant even be bothered to go to games.
It takes 4 hours maximum to fly from Greece to Manchester so why would you use that as an excuse to never watch your “beloved team” play?
It takes me 5 hours to drive to Wythenshawe and then 5 more back. But I’ve not missed any games at your place in more than 18 years.
Answer honestly, have you ever seen Manchester United play live at Old Trafford?
Who are you to tell me if i have the right to come in here and mouth off?In case you don’t understand,this is a Manchester United blog,so if someone is out of place that would be you.But to answer to you,no i have never seen United live.And you are comparinf driving to flying to a place and then going back?Genius.
Well said Costas, your blood is red and your heart is United through and through so tell this Arsewipe to fuck off back to the Emirates where he belongs. See you Wednesday Arsewipe for a serious arse kicking!
It’s the usual idiotic philosophy that a lot of people have.”You are not a real fan because you live in another country and you have never gone to Old Trafford”. Well everything has a story behind it.No one can know why a non-British person supports an English club and why he has never been to their ground.That shouldn’t question their loyalty though.Geez.
Totally agree, the guy is a dick. Enjoy the game on Wednesday.
You too.
uniteddddddddd!!!!!!!!
berbatov,rooney,tevez,ronaldo in one team
it worked and oh how well it worked!!!!!!!!!
Jesus, i watched that match in a liverpool supporters bar with about a dozen united fans in there. As soon as Rooney equalized it was amazing – just all the scousers laughing and taunting united were quickly silenced. Watched liverpool-arsenal in there too and this match was something else compared to that.
United, STOP DOING THIS!! I’m in my 30′s, overweight, and drink FAR too much, any more games like that it’s a heart attack for me! Serious though, that was just class, I missed the game as I was pissed and fell asleep trying to stay awake ( I’m in Melbourne, and been up for 24 hours straight after flying back from NZ in the early hours), so hurridly stuck the BBC on when I awoke, and thank god I did fall asleep. With the scum winning earlier I would have been shitting it at half time.
Seen the highlights over here since though, and God, just how good is Rooney? See there’s talk of a new deal for him, get it sorted Fergie, just give him what he wants. Also big talk of a deal for Kaka, how awesome would that be? Not just signing a player of that quality, but a player who just 4 months ago told Shitty where to stick it as he’d never leave Milan for a club like that?! This just 4 months after Berbatov wouldn’t even speak to them when they bid for him! Take your place at the back of the line blue boys, your a silly little shitty club who’s found a few quid and thinks they can buy a few more friends.
Bring on Arsenal, I’m well confident now if we can keep that energy up, it should be no bother ( even if it does mean another 4.30 wake up!)
damn! i missed the match too! sh****t
genre just fuck off.obsessed with United & RoM
I believe united shoould always play that way. Playing at a high tempo. in the first half we played too slow. I also think the second half team is our best team when rooney ronaldo berba and tevez all play together. So for the Arsenal game our team should be
vds
brown, rio, vidic, evra
anderson, fletcher
ronaldo, tevez, rooney
berbatov
now that team is friggin class!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the Berbatov haters should now STFU – his passing in midfield was the initial spark in 2 of the goals and he claimed one for himself! Brilliant!
I was there and glad am I that I was. Worth every penny. Second half was pure insanity. I knew at half time that we would do it. The fantastic 4 really are fantastic. Rooney the best player on earth. Ronny gettin back to his best also. He loves our club. FACT. Tevez turned the game on it’s head with his energy levels. Berba was class, composed, his passes started the moves for 2 goals and got 1 himself. Play all 4 at all times because it is deadly. The aim of the game is to out score and with them that is always gonna happen.
Some mugs behind me booed at half time but apart from that the second half the atmosphere was rockin. The 3 quick goals made it even louder. Best 20 minutes in football for years. In my opinion anyway.
to have a liverpool fan coming here and making a fuss over the penalty decision when their own team had Skrtel acting with so blatant obvious is a laugh for me.
Hey HWEBB, you seem to have deliberately forgotten that your mob should have been down to 10 men before you even scored. Palacios should have been off for that disgusting challenge. The real HWebbb seems to have done you a real favour there, didn’t he???
people were talking about berba admiring hi good passes and not getting into the box, his goal just shows, he was immense, one of the best penetrating passers iv’e seen with the ball.
berbatov,rooney,tevez,ronaldo
got to be same line up for Wednesdays game. Absolutley pure class.
Guys it matters immensely where you come from and why you support a team. That is the sole reason why any club a still around to enjoy any degree of success or failure because of the bums on seats that went week in and week out irrespective of it’s recent glories. It did not exist to be in this position to take advantage of global support and huge tv revenues without those. People who live their lives this way can’t help to think how better the foreign supporters home leagues would be if they invested their passion and monies there instead of helping and IMO fasely revelling in the success of a prem league team
