The thought coulda been that they were just alot better than you so thats why they always beat you, but the fact that we thought that you didnt try means that we think you're capable of beating them so in a twisted way its kind of a compliment.

Haha fair enough, then I'll take it as such! Maybe I'm just ultra defensive of my club, but I do hate the accusation that we would ever lie down for a team.
I wouldn't be setting my sights on fourth if I was you.FrostyNRG said:Cheers both. I think us finishing fourth and Arsenal missing out on the Champions League would have been as much as most Spurs fans would have hoped for this season.

And Aaron Lennon. I'm fairly sure he isn't rated too highly on here but I hope watching that performance will have changed a few opinions.
Preaching to the choir here probably but my God Phil Jones is a complete helmet.

Funnily enough (as someone who thinks Jones's is overhyped), I actually think he played well yesterday.

because Alan Smith said so???
LedleyKing said:Interesting post match comments from Ferdinand saying they basically set up to stop Bale...pretty successfully too I might add. That said, Lennon ended up being the real problem. He looked unplayable at times, though he generally does well against Evra. The wings will have to continue to produce considering the once in form Defoe now looks anything but.

I think he broke up the play quite well, helped nullify Bale completely by helping out Rafael, looked strong on the ball and basically helped shore up United from a defensive point of view. I wondered what the fuck Fergie was doing when I saw that lineup but I can kind of understand his theory behind it, even it did come across as negative. Just a shame for them that it only worked well for 91 minutes.
I accept that, on the flipside, he didn't do any Maradonas or Cruyyf turns, play in 6 through balls and/or score a hat trick, but he was brought in to do a job and he did that job very well, IMO.
Makes a change though, as when he normally plays in CM, he's gash.
You Fillet 'O' Fish.

He should of picked up 4 yellow cards.
He did win the ball back tbf.... usually after giving it away himself.
Closed down well but simply couldn't hold a position when needed, Dembele found it piss easy to run rings around him.
Carrick got him out of a lot of trouble at times.
I agree he did a lot of running and that made Bales job harder because he doubled up on but anyone with an engine can do that.
Dembele and Carrick were playing football in the middle, Parker and Jones were running round like over excited dogs. When Huddlestone came on Spurs had complete control of the midfield.
I do believe a Fillet 'O Fish is a Mcdonald's Sandwich, it is only fashionable to use items off the Burger King menu as insults.
