This certainly looks like United's match even though they are not dominating for the sole reason that Spurs' back line is utter RUBBISH.

----------

And does anyone else feel that they could've used the money they splashed on Lamela for buying Benteke ?

They should've used the Soldado money and that would've given them another dimension.

I like to compare Chadli and Soldado. Chadli is a brown Soldado, and they play exactly the same way, uselessly. The likeness in both looks and play style is uncanny.

Both teams have been really poor, but Rooney is just a class above every other player on the pitch. Where would Man Utd be without him this season, he has been immense.

Terrible result for both teams. Tottenham 10 points from the top and Man Utd 9.

it's been a funny season in that regard because for all the oodles of money spent this year the best players have been guys that had been around last year but have upped their game recently. rooney has been immense but it's ramsey that has been on another planet.

mentioned it before but it's funny how the english national team is thought to be pretty poor, had ramsey and bale been born a little further east and england would be world class.

Less long ball strat, Mr. Moyes. De Gea was almost a playmaker.

Could see where he's going with his plan though, trying to get Valencia to feed the ball to rooney, kagawa and welbeck from the far post but times when building up through the center could've resulted better.

Sandro up with the goal of the season there.

And now we have Hull city absolutely humiliating Livepool.

My bet is that Chelsea would go home with 3 points.

Hull City

Will be interesting to see the highlights tonight for that game, meanwhile Chelsea losing to Southampton although that doesn't exactly surprise me as Chelsea have been poor this season and Southampton have been very impressive.

 

[Champagnepapi]

I don't know why Agger wasn't playing, Coutinho wasn't playing and Sakho. I think Rodgers took Hull as a walk on the park kind of game. but then again we have a busy schedule for the upcoming couple of weeks. Probably playing safe until we play City and Chelsea.

 

[ParkedTheBus]

Well , 3-1 . There it is boys :P

Don't forget Giggs as well. So damn infuriating!

Good game, decent result under normal circumstances but taking into account our awful start, we can't afford to drop too many more points. Which we probably will of course.

Jol is officially out of Fulham as a manager.

Not very surprising, Fulham have a great squad and should be finishing mid-table.

Hull City

Didn't check the results and came here first, thought for a second Chelsea lost. Oh well.

Romelu Lukaku and other loaned players must play against parent clubs to fix messed up system - Martin Samuel | Mail Online

Thoughts on this point?

 

[ste_mc_efc]

whatever. it doesn't really matter.

martin samuel writes a lot of strongly worded nonsense on non-issues. i doubt he even cares at all about this.

"scored two goals in the Merseyside derby to ensure a 3-3 draw, in a game Liverpool would probably have won otherwise."

lol at this statement, too. absurd.

"Everton will be below strength, minus Lukaku, at Stamford Bridge just as they were when Chelsea went north in September. Justice was done that day with an Everton victory"

that has absolutely nothing to do with justice.
