7-1 Blackburn dont normally cave in. Great performance today Nani, Berba, Rooney, Anderson and Park all on top top form.

Big Sam must be desperately disappointed , it's unlike any of his sides to fold , in saying that what a great performance from Man U

Well they needed a result after after last week's mugging.

Mind you, I'm worried about Sunday's game against Liverpool. Having already lost to the likes of Wigan and West Ham this season, Spurs seem to find themselves unable to raise their game against far lesser teams.

Chelsea drop 2 pts with a 1-1 draw away at Newcastle

Another defeat for Liverpool, Tottenham again benefit from players thinking its a basketball match

Man U sit top of the pile 2pts clear and havent really got into top gear as yet.

Saw the Spurs vs car thieves game on Sunday. Having read a report in the Liverpool Echo (describing Liverpool's loss a a 'cruel result') I was wondering whether we were watching the same game. There was nothing 'cruel' about the outcome at all. Liverpool played better than I expected (I also assumed Spurs would have a CL hangover) but still fell short. A fair result for me would have been something like 4-2. And that doesn't include the Defoe penalty that should never have been awarded in the first place.

i agree the free-kick that led to the handball should not have been given, but it was a penalty for me, on the line is in the box.............why on earth he had his hands up that high in the first place is beyond me.

Or perhaps they have, but the engine isn't actually that good these days (too many of the individual components are nowhere near the quality of those of yesteryear )

I will add that Atkinson's howler will, in a small way, go to make up for all the Spurs games Webb and Klattenburg will officiate will this season. To call Webb a knob would be to insult all knobs.

I think you might have something there Saint, I just don't see this Man U finding another level. They will have better days like this weekend, but generally the first 11 could not lace the boots of many that have gone before.

So very true.. this team is still developing and also in the need of two or three replacements but having said that top of the pile and thats not bad. Says a lot for quality of the rest of the prem if all the reat of the teams are looking up at Man U

It's only a couple of months ago that I said if Man U were there or thereabouts at the end of the year, the addition of an attacking midfielder during the January transfer window might be good enough. When posting that I didn't for one minute expect to see the topsy turvy form from the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal, or the lack of ascendancy of Liverpool.

No question Man U's form has been far from galvanising so far, but they have always been a very much a second half of the season team and have possibly had the best ever start to the season since the start of the Premiership. They have three crucial matches in the course of 13 days in mid-December...........home to Arsenal, away to Chelsea and home to Sunderland. 6 points or more from these fixtures will see them in a position they are not accustomed to.

It could of course all go pear shaped, with a spate of injuries to key players, and I'll be left eating my words, but right now they look like a team easily capable of taking the title again this season  

John, we have both been harping on about this goal scoring midfielder for the last 2 seasons....yet SAF seems to prefer the 2 central midfielders to be of the holding / ball winning type (with the exception of Scholes). On refelction if we did have a Van der Vaart / Sneijder type player alongside  Fletcher or Carrick or Anderson etc would we be left short in the engine room..? Especially deploying 2 wingers which is the Man U way.

SAF must be laughing his head off, im many games this year they have been a bag of s***e, yet they are still unbeaten and now top of the league, they are in a very strong position IMO

Very true. Based on current form the only team left that will give them a run for their money are Spurs. Oh, how I look forward to a fully fit Van Der Fart and a match fit Defoe. The rest of them seamlessly slot into place.

Defence is Spurs problem... however players coming back to fitness and form will help

Abysmal defending by Man U and Johnny Evans in particular tonight. Make shift Man U v Make shift West Ham, the Londoners outclassing Man U all over the pitch and not one of the Man U team have performed at an acceptable level. I have never seen such an inept performance in what has to be said shows how poor this Man U squad is beyond the XI.

Trouble at the Birminham v Villa cup tier, seats ripped up , flares thrown

Members of FIFA should enjoy watching that tomorrow just in time for the votes.

not bright was it

This wont effect the vote, I think most of us know that has already been decided in the back rooms of FIFA.

It was disgraceful, typical knuckle dragging chav scum dragging the name of my club through the mud once again 🤬

This needs to be stamped out before it returns in any way, both clubc need to be fined and play behind closed doors for a few weeks. It might sounds harsh as it is a first offense  but if it's not I can see a return to this kind of thing more often in the future.

I'd be surprised at anything but a heavy fine for both clubs, as precedent was set last year with the West Ham v Millwall agro, which was worse than what happened last night.

But I agree, unfortunately this type of thing seems to be happening again in football more, the clubs, FA and the police really need to get a grip with it before it becomes like the late 70's early 80's.
