'Trust the Ref'

???

"relax. It's Webb."

Yeah well, we were shite back then.

I think quite a few teams still think the same !

Fergie was always really complimentary us in interviews saying how we played good stuff etc. He never compliments teams he actually sees as a threat.

None of this will be surprising to any spurs fans though. I'm still not going to buy your book roy.

So what? I used to only use 2 words before and after the game. Ah bollocks.

This sort of crapulance reminds me of that Wet Spam fan, James Corden's soundbite that Talk Sport always play, "Let's not get carried away, we've only beaten Spurs". For some reason I find that more insulting than this Fergie comment to be honest (probably because I was at the 0-3 last season),

ref paid off?

Shame for him Clough didn't give the same speech before the 91 cup final, Keane didn't look so smug at the final whistle then, when he couldn't even scare a young Justin Edinbrugh.

I find it hilarious how people like to mock Spurs. It's not like we've been relegated any time recently, we've made the Champions League without moneybags and we've strived to play good football even if it hasn't come off all the time.

I feel like from a lot of quarters we get ribbed a lot more than say, Everton or Villa.

He was complimentary when they won.......

The same sort of lazy stereotyping is applied to every PL club that isn't a member of the Sky5, including Everton ("always in Liverpool's shadow") and Villa ("serial under-achievers") etc etc.

What goes around comes around though eh? These days all we have to say is "Lads, it's Old Trafford"

Indeed, if they lost it was always the ref/pitch/shirts etc

In all honesty he is spot on. At least over the past few meetings the results have started to even up, but that said United are nowhere near as good as they used to be.
