It just shows the lack of spirit from the scousers.. it absolutely pisses me off when people say it was due to a refereeing mistake we won the game.bloody fuck those bastards..It took great deal of character and determination,class and guile to come back from 2 goals down at half time to win in that fashion. When the fucking scousers were winning games after being a goal or two down the SOB Rafa was calling it great character from his side...but reality they won half and more of those games on sheer luck (refereeing decisions and some pathetic display from opponents) For me and to all my friends here who were watching the game it was a sure penalty..it looked that way in TV..if i am sure then at the start of the season, Liverpool got some penalties in the same way, why the fuck are they complaining now?

Ure second pic alone shows that the gloves are a microsecond away from the ball NOT HIS LEGS! PLUS HOWARD ADMITTED HE COCKED UP!

I must say though I have looked at it so many times from an unbiased opinion and still cannot make mind up. If so many are still unsure how would a replay system in the game work?

I've been refraining from crowing because my big brother is a Spurs fan (since the 50s). I doubt if he reads this site but still, he's a bit aggrieved about the penalty. As for me, I think it was a fair decision, although I can see the arguments on both sides. But even if it was a bad decision, that still left United a goal down, so to me it's all a bit of a smokescreen for 'Arry and a golden opportunity for all those media ABUs and Scousers to cry 'foul'. I thought it was a stunning performance by United in the second half, one of the best seen anywhere this year. I have had to endure a a few bad results against Spurs over the years, 4-1 defeat in 1960 by the Spurs Double team was one of the low points of my United career, so I just loved this. Almost as good as the 5-3 comebeck in 2001, which I saw. There was even a photo of that game in the press where you could see me in the crowd after Beckham scored then. Magic. What a buzz yesterday, eh??? Hey, Wazza, flattered you’ve been waiting for my comments, good on you! I’ve been refraining from crowing because my big brother is a Spurs fan (since the 50s).
