You're nervous? We've scraped the last couple of games, and we're going away to a team that beat us at home already this season and are finding form.

I'll be happy with anything out of this game as long as it keeps City at bay.

Why do teams always give him space to header/shoot? like hes always gonna score if they continue to do that.

Well we never do well vs Utd, just doesn't happen for us. And ofc RvP is pretty much always guaranteed to score.

I still see Spurs as more likely to score next.

Normally I'll call anyone who throws things onto the pitch an idiot, but throwing snowballs when there's a break in the game is brilliant.

Rooney looks to be coming on for Kagawa, who has had zero pace today.

Also, Rooney denied a good shout for a penalty. Spurs fans chanting "Are you Tottenham in disguise?"

Spurs fans never seem to lack a good sense of humour, that said it's probably a requirement.

**laffling** · 2013-01-20, 05:47 PM

Is me or is Ferdinand different today compared to the start of the reason?

Well 1-1 in Fergie time.

YES IKOJÖADBNAS N,ASND JAHGSDBA.SD NKBJASDN

Fucking yes!

Oh god yes, tbh we fucking deserved that, god damn kudos to Spurs for really playing that well. 4 points from 6 vs Utd this season, not bad.

**Northern Goblin** · 2013-01-20, 05:52 PM

Knew that was coming, the whole time you knew that was going to happen. Spurs were easily the better side for that match, a draw was the least they deserved.

Though if you offered me 1-1 at the start of the day, I'd snap your hand off.

**Xanjori** · 2013-01-20, 05:59 PM

Yeah as that game went on probably deserved even to win, but we never get the rub of the green vs big teams, a draw Ill take. Also it should be good for the team having played that well.

nice to see this, need to watch a replay of the game, haven't been able to see it due to basketball, but what can you do.

**koodledrum** · 2013-01-21, 02:12 PM

Saw the clip of Evra getting snowballs thrown at him, normally like Fengore throwing stuff on the pitch is stupidity, but snowballs from the front row is just brilliant - looked like Evra saw the funny side as well!

**Jackmoves** · 2013-01-22, 09:52 PM

We'll collapse soon enough, but 1-1 was a good result, if we get CL this season I'll be very happy.

The criticism of David de Gea is amazing to me. Joe Hart has made many more mistakes and has about half of the amount of saves De Gea has but isn't under near the amount of scrutiny. When Valdes leaves Barca, I'm sure they would take DDG from Man Utd's hands.

**NotAnOtherUser** · 2013-01-23, 07:53 AM

juventus fan here :P
my guess for the english league i vote for man u.
of course for italy it would be juve.
and for the champions league would be juve :P

Swansea aren't daft, they penned Michu to a new four year contract.

Meanwhile Beckham's had a trial at Chelsea, Brooklyn Beckham. I'm stunned that he's already 14, the years go by too fast. Poor kid will be under a lot of pressure to be as good as his dad though.

**koodledrum** · 2013-01-23, 03:10 PM

14 - christ, at that age I was too busy trying to score to be bothered playing football....

Getting Michu on an extension is smart business, any word on if there's a substantial minimum release fee clause in there?

**d3v** · 2013-01-23, 04:13 PM

is he really already 14? blooming heck. Time does fly.

Yeah getting Michu to sign for another 4 years is good for Swansea.

Talking of Swansea, I hope they kick some Chelsea butt tonight in the Capital One Cup semi final!

You have to remember that De Gea is the replacement of Van Der Sar which ain't a easy task plus hes also getting compared to Schmeichel. Any keeper that is coming to United is gonna get criticized because of them 2.

Have they had any mention of how good he is? At least he probably had one of the best tutors in the world! If he has his dads vision I'm sure he will have learnt the technique.

Talking of the Carling/League/Worthington/something Cup I see Bradfords run in it did them some major good money wise.
