lancs blue said:A masterclass from Dave last night. He's an incredible player, his ability to find space for himself and create space for others is just uncanny. At one point in the first half he was doing 360-degree revolutions with the ball at his feet before deciding on a pass. I was going dizzy watching him, fuck knows how the Spurs players felt.
Spurs players knew they were out of their league. You could quite literally see it in their eyes. A lot of teams are beginning to play the occasion of their City fixture and now the team. It was something the Rags benefited from until Bacon went. Last season, teams were still going into games against Yoo-nited expecting to lose and paying some very ordinary players far too much respect. A very poor rag team won the title at a canter last season because people were afraid of them. And now they're afraid of us .. with far more cause to be, imho.
