Yes, they won in the end. They were bloody lucky though (again)!

Not really. They bossed possession, defended well and scored a good goal. Albeit a deflected one.

Frank Lampard is a top class striker of the ball but how many deflected goals does he score!

 

[legspinner@fred]

We're always lucky, always have been.
But in that game, Portsmouth did well, but Chelsea played our normal way, it's good to see we're not dropping points early in the season.

Unlike some!
Man U 0-0 Spurs, keep it like that, no Robo howlers yet.
Lampard has a knack of scoring match winning goals..with a bit of the Chelsea luck.

What a goal!

 

[Deleted member 13648]

For christ sake, another cast iron penalty turned down against Man Utd and then they score. Meh. It's only Spurs after all.

 

[Will_NA]

Berby's playing well.

Forget the goal, what about the celebration

 

[m_vaughan]

united were lucky not to have conceded a penalty for handball.

 

[Deleted member 11215]

It was never a penalty the arm came out afterwards.

 

[evertonfan]

Of course it shouldn't have been a penalty. Have you lot not checked this rule;

Rule 34b, if a Manchester United player deliberately uses his arm to block the ball's route to the goal in his own penalty area then do not award a penalty as it is completely legitimate.

Tisk tisk.

Good game though. Makes a change. That's because Spurs aren't scared brickless like Chelskov are.

United's home fans are poor though. Spurs outsung them all the way through.

When Andy Gray says it is a penalty against one of the 'Top 4', it must be a penalty. It doesn't happen very often let's be honest.

 

[legspinner@fred]

Man U fans are louder away in Europe than 60,000 of them are a home, like someone called Roy once said.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

It wasn't a penalty, it clearly hit Wes on the side of his chest.

 

[evertonfan]

Hmmm. No bias at all.
