Topic: Premier League Fixtures - 12th - 14th January

[JCB]

And once again Spurs bottle it against Man U....and in other news the sky is blue and the earth is round.

[Red Eyed]

Thanks United, enjoy the battle for 5th

[stevieG786]

Spurs lose, United win but outplayed for large periods.

Perfect scenario surely?

Yup

Plus a potential Kane injury
Ole > posch for United too

[Black Bull Nova]

If Spurs lose, they are going to have to win 3 games and hope we lose 3 in the corresponding fixtures for the week. One of those might be against us, but which other 2 fixtures, would we lose? and if it comes to that point,  which 2 fixtures would city lose?

Hopefully their incentive to perform against us also diminishes if other prizea shine brighter by then, they are better away than at home.

Soon to lose Son also

[cdav]

Kane injured too? Looked a thigh injury at the end

[Gray Hamster]

How did utd win that game haha. football gods are strange and mysterious

[Fernando_Torres_Was_Good]

Officially a 2 horse title race now. Spurs closer to 6th than 1st.

[TepidT2O]

Well that’s spurs done...

They were unlucky of course, had more than enough chances to equalise and even win it.

Manchester United were good in the first half but not good in the second half.  Can’t help but feel that they’re still a limited side.

[DonkeyWan]

fuck does rat face keep on putting the words "world class" in the same sentence as pogba. i had a "world class" moment in bed with the wife last night but i don't go shouting it down the road

Pogba was in bed with your wife last night?

Wrong way around if you're a bitter

[El Lobo]

Hold on, isn't it better if Spurs lose here? Who gives a flying fuck about United and OGS? SPurs are now 9 points back and 16 goals off in GD.

Absolutely

Not that they were a particular threat anyway but creates another nice little gap.

[John C]

He's done us a massive favour. Its a two horse race now

Absolutely, we don't need anyone else poking us up the arse in our endeavour.

[Shankly998]

We'll have to ignore the media w*nkfest for awhile over United but its great result for us. Spurs effectively out of the title race and chances of Gollum being there next season increased. 

[1892tillforever]

Are Spurs now officially out of a title race they were never actually in?

They'll win a few in a row now since the pressure is off.

[jillcwhomever]

They were robbed blind

The game is about putting the ball in the back of the net, they should have finished better. Too many times they fired straight at De Gea enabling him to make those saves.

[GBF]

Oleeee!  thanks manc twits

5 consecutive wins....still 6th

[him_15]

Thank you United for taking Spurs out of the title completely, now your job is done just stay at fifth until the end of the season.

[TepidT2O]

Absolutely, we don't need anyone else poking us up the arse in our endeavour.

Speak for yourself.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

We'll have to ignore the media w*nkfest for awhile over United but its great result for us. Spurs effectively out of the title race and chances of Gollum being there next season increased. 

I hope the media is focused solely on them and let us go under the shadows doing our business quietly

[1892tillforever]

The game is about putting the ball in the back of the net, they should have finished better. Too many times they fired straight at De Gea enabling him to make those saves.

Absolutely. They created loads of clear chances and finished appallingly. I would be furious at our lads if they did that.

Pretty much everything down the middle. Good result for us- hope Wolves are as spawny tomorrow

They are limited true, but they're winning their games. The longer it lasts the more they'll grow in confidence. Really important we reverse our recent Old Trafford form, what could be better than beating United onto the way to winning the league.

[planet-terror]

Never nice seeing those twats win but it's good for us no doubt about that.

[MolbyLovesGravlax]

Son is off to the Asian cup and if Kane is injured as well Spurs could have a mini collapse very easily...

[Redman78]

Surely Ole gets the job now..

[-Willo-]

I'd feel sick if I were a Spurs fan after that, not sure I've seen a more dominating 0-1 loss.

[John C]

Up the fucking Reds.

si señor .......

[Robinred]

Enjoyed that.

Spurs don’t have the squad to compete for the trophies they’re still in, and will ultimately suffer. They were far better than Utd. in overall play today, but too many key players look just a little jaded. Lamela and Trippier aren’t good enough to be honest, at the highest level, nor is Winks. The same can be said for Utd. with Young, Jones and Shaw getting starts.

The good thing to come out of this match isn’t necessarily Spurs dropping 3 points - I didn’t really consider them challengers for the reasons given. The bonus is how much more difficult it will be for Utd. to look beyond OGS come the summer, if this carries on.

[soxfan]

Thank you United for taking Spurs out of the title completely, now your job is done just stay at fifth until the end of the season.

Not quite. It would be nice if they could show up for the Manchester derby and have De Gea pull another one out of his arse. And it's at the Toilet too.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

They are limited true, but they're winning their games. The longer it lasts the more they'll grow in confidence. Really important we reverse our recent Old Trafford form, what could be better than beating United onto the way to winning the league.

There's about five six games before we play them, they aren't winning all of their games up until then. Confidence can only get you so far.

[jillcwhomever]

I'd feel sick if I were a Spurs fan after that, not sure I've seen a more dominating 0-1 loss.

They should have scored then, they shot at De Gea so many times in that game.

[red vinyl]

Good game that and i wanted a draw to be honest.

[-Willo-]

They should have scored then, they shot at De Gea so many times in that game.

Exactly, hence if I were a Spurs fan I'd feel sick.

[didi shamone]

World class pass from Pogba, absolutely world class. The key to it was its world classlyness.

[jillcwhomever]

There's about five six games before we play them, they aren't winning all of their games up until then. Confidence can only get you so far.

I don't think we can rely on that to be honest. The teams outside the usual top four are teams that, that United team should be beating in any normal year.

[Red Eyed]

I'm a united fan for one more game this season

[Keita Success]

Late title challenge, I hear you say?

[Solomon Grundy]

Hope Utd are that open against us when we play them.

[BrandoLFC]

How the fuck can someone get paid to say this shit?  It’s a new Manchester United and it’s also an amazing performance by De Gea that got them the 3 points.  One doesn’t go with the other, so which one is it?  Fucking just give some asshole off the street the mic to spew random gibberish.  I actually work for my money which is a fraction of what these people get paid by knowing what I’m doing.  Such bullshit.

That’s absolutely mental.  Might as well say ‘stand here’ in blue at the bottom.
