Anyway, you still need to even things out. Do you remember this......

Very well, that was Pedro Mendes' shot.

Even if we had been given that win, the record over the last 21 years speaks for itself. We just can't seem to get enough points from the top 4 away from home.

That's my prediction out of the window then 2 - 0 United, latest

And again it shows that United always get the right ref descisions at OT. Especially against us. It's like playing against 12 men. Any wonder we never get a result there?

Unbelieveable.

The ref made a mistake, up until then the game was about equal, except for the score of course.

We should just forfeit next year. Save the petrol and hotel money.

The only mistake he made was not giving a penalty for the foul on Nani, prior to his dive and handball.

The goal was perfectly valid, it was Gomes' fault. The ref played advantage instead of giving a freekick, so the ball was still in play when Gomes dropped it and Nani scored. Where was the ref's whistle for Gomes to take a freekick? Nowhere. And Gomes' imaginary freekick was nowhere near where the offence occurred either.

The ref did not make a mistake, watch it again.
Firstly nani should have had a penalty, he didnt get it.
Secondly he dived or fell and handled the ball, the ref saw that but because gomez had the ball and 2 united players were out of posistion he gave the spurs advantage.
He clearly indicates play on (because gomez has the ball), gomez, for reasons only known to himself throws the ball in front of him instead of humping it up the field. No whistle has been blown, the balls still in play and nani scores.
Nothing wrong with the goal.

I was at the Arsenal game and I have to ask; How on earth are West Ham in the regulation zone? Fair enough Arsenal were not really on their game today but still! It was an impressive performance, especially from Rob Green, they will have no trouble if they play like that. Only negative note was the fans singing 'Sit down you Pedo' to Wenger. I thought Spurs/United were the last teams to cut that out.

Somehow, I think this goal will be mentioned every year, like the Mendes "goal" by commentators and fans...

Niles Crane · 30-10-2010, 22:39

I doubt it. One was a valid goal incorrectly disallowed which may well have earned Spurs an historic victory. The other was a valid goal correctly allowed which didn't change the result.

Apples and oranges.

Reminds me of the incident with Porto vs Arsenal. Fabanski picks up a back pass, turns away after handling the ball back, Porto slot it into the net.

Don't worry, next year it will be something different.

Well if that defeatist attitude is prevalent among Spurs players and staff, no wonder you have such a dismal record against Man United.

Having watched it again on MOTD, it would appear you and Blackthorn are correct in your analysis. In my defence, I was making a cup of tea at the time, and therefore only taking notice of the commentators on ESPN, it seems my judgement was somewhat misguided.

Don't get me wrong, I thought that it was a goal, but to paraphrase Vic Reeves, they never let it lie...everytime we play them...it's 5 years now...
