I assume Utd are going to tighten up at some point this year, not that they need to with so many points. It's plain weird that they're nearly past most recent seasons already.

That second Newcastle goal though, I don't see how that can't be offside. Interfering with play has got to mean more than 'touching the ball', else the rules have changed without me twigging and we all end up spouting shite like Jamie Redknapp eventually.

Only 48, nbs - you were second-lowest scorers with just 38 though.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 16:00 (thirteen years ago)

I don't know where Yoshida learned to pass, but I fucking hope he kept the receipt. Actually pretty even game apart from their goal and, well, Yoshida.

Some classic ranting from Ferguson at the linesman straight away there. He must've seen the replay immediately on halftime, impressive to keep the fires red-hot for fifteen minutes.

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 16:06 (thirteen years ago)

There will be a dodgy call for Utd at some point now, is that even worth pointing out?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 16:07 (thirteen years ago)

there will be at least 2 actually

nastasic cleans out that worthless subhuman gardner but thankfully only gets booked

2 down to the most absurd goal

vertical ball coming right down green's throat on the goal line, marc fortune pushes his arse out and pushes green and the ball in

fuck off

r|t|c, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 16:21 (thirteen years ago)

green is still a pathetic cunt for whatever limp wristed effort that was supposed to be but it's a totally illegal goal

Ah Utd, so reliable. On pace for 92 points! Barely believable.

Are you raging about the 9 minutes of Pardew time?

A Yawning Chasm (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:01 (thirteen years ago)

threw a decent kitchen sink at it last 15 mins but no undeserved dice

still, we were this dead & buried last season til liverpool came to town so SUNDAY BITCHES BRING IT ON

r|t|c, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:15 (thirteen years ago)

I always feel embarrassed for refs who leave a ton of injury time at Old Trafford only for Utd to get the winner immediately, and then they have Ferguson bellowing for an early whistle the whole time

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:38 (thirteen years ago)

That second half is probably the most fun I've had as a Saints fan. I dunno how I've managed to under-rate Schneiderlin for so long, dude was colossal today. Really hope we can hang on to Luke Shaw - he seemed to put the fear of God into Fulham whenever he ran at them. We can do this. We really can.

As for Fulham - they're far too competent to get into trouble, but we pretty much didn't give them a sniff second half. Sidwell's annoyingly indefatigable, Senderos and Hangeland repel stuff quite well, Chris Baird is tidy, Schwarzer's Schwarzer. Riise is definitely a weak point, tho.

William Bloody Swygart, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:39 (thirteen years ago)

Villa are painful to watch. They give the ball away an almost inconceivable number of times.

pandemic, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 17:55 (thirteen years ago)

they do have a lot of british players....

i hate villa, almost a whole team of craig gardners

You've got to hand it to United: perfectly good goals wrongly disallowed for offside at both Reading and City, Van Persie nearly decapitated at Swansea, controversial goal and extended injury time in Newcastle's favour today, yet they just go about their business with quiet dignity.

A Yawning Chasm (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:05 (thirteen years ago)

Spurs may well reach the 30 corners mark this game.

pandemic, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:12 (thirteen years ago)

villa poor with the ball but have defended pretty well haven't they? don't recall spurs creating many clear cut chances.

Chris, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:14 (thirteen years ago)

I dont know if I wanna watch the Stoke game....got a bad feeling about it

Michael B Higgins (Michael B), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:17 (thirteen years ago)

hmm, i count giving the ball away in your own third of the pitch as being poor defensively. But you're correct Defoe has had the only clear-ish chance. Spurs playing as if a goal is inevitable.

great pass from naughton

pandemic, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:46 (thirteen years ago)

Spurs somehow scrape a goal somewhat against the run of play. The boys from White Hart Lane will no doubt park the bus now, but can they withstand the inevitable onslaught from this awesome Villa team?

A Yawning Chasm (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:48 (thirteen years ago)

benteke has been rotten

(ू˃̣̣̣̣̣̣o˂̣̣̣̣̣̣ ू)⁼³₌₃ (cozen), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:49 (thirteen years ago)

you were saying?

tragically bad pass from beteke leads to 2-0 spurs

pandemic, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:50 (thirteen years ago)

A quick fire second for the Lillywhites - dare they start dreaming of victory?

A Yawning Chasm (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Wednesday, 26 December 2012 18:50 (thirteen years ago)

LFC lost to this lot. My God.

Actually we lost to both these lots but Spurs is acceptable.

pandemic, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 19:02 (thirteen years ago)

spurs saved those clear cut chances for the 2nd half then

Chris, Wednesday, 26 December 2012 19:03 (thirteen years ago)

Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Lucas, Gerrard, Shelvey, Downing, Suso, Suarez
