But hey, let's stop posting pictures of Fergie and celebrating snatching a last-minute draw at home to Utd as if we've just won the Champions League. Makes us look small time.. and remember, we got all three points at Old Trafford. We're not bloody Fulham. :)

If he'd had gone down he would have cheated so fair play to him for that. they had a stone wall pen that was not given.so fair play to the lino for that(y)

Dempsey was clipped, but wanted the goal more which is why he stayed on his feet. There are players who would have gone down with similar or no contact. My point being that there was contact and a peno could have been given. Rooney's was a peno.

You're way off the mark fella. Every striker misses from time to time...very black and white with your assessment as for the most part he's a fantastic finisher.

He is a f**king awful finisher. Awful. If he wasn't he would have nearly as many RVP this season.

Completely besides the point.


For the last fuck knows how many years they have bullied us off our patch. I know we didn't win today, but to completely outplay them and potentially damaged their title hopes with a last-minute equaliser was absolutely priceless. In reality we could have and probably should have won the game, but I think today along with the win at OT and so very nearly getting a point at City has shown that there really isn't a lot between us and the 'bigger boys'.

Just said on talkshit that it's the first season in prem history that manure haven't beaten us. sweet.
Again. Let's not crow too much about that one. Entirely back handed compliment and shows just how far we've slipped in the past three decades! Let's aim for a few more when they don't beat us before we start mouthing off. We're Tottenham Hotspur

I know he's a gooner and all that.....but imagine if we had bought RVP instead this season..... :( top of the table....

I know. Utd have been fairly shite this season yet his finishing have got them top of the league. He is going to be the difference in the title race this season.

I know what you're saying but we haven't won the league since 1961.

It was a messy goal, the defence got moved around all over the place in the build up. But Walker has Van Persie and then somehow loses him, I'm really struggling to quite work out how on this replay, ball-watching most probably.

Naughton, Dawson and Walker all caught ball watching IMO. Naughton too slow to close out clverley and Daws / walker in no mans land for the cross. I saw this a couple of other times during the game and was nervous that an better cross from the Man U wings may have led to more goals. Having said that I am still trying to remember a Loris save during the game

I think it was Parker who was closest to Cleverley.

Kyle Walker all over the show for the goal, for me, and far from the first time this season. But let's be fair he's only a kid who's been thrown into two full seasons as our number one right-back with no competition. Another sympton of the bizarro transfer system in place at Spurs that sees us swing from having four options in a position to only a 20-year-old playing 40 games a season, depending on what the market is like for buying and selling in that particular position.

There were 4 players that could have tracked back and covered the left side of our defence (Bale being the main culprit) but they either jogged back or didn't bother. That's why the defence got dragged left and right

It was Parkers fault for not tracking Cleverley not Nauhgton
