I watched the game live on tv not a stream so I don't need to watch it again. 1 good pass away may as well be a million miles away.
The fact is Spurs could and should have been out of sight at 2-1 and missed great chances to do so.
And I like how you ignore the possesion stat. Please go and watch it and print screen it to show me how we dominated possession.
If he had given them a few early cards it would have stopped them from trying to kick us out of the game. But he didnt have the balls to do it.
Also, I may be mistaken, but I think the 68% stat you saw was actually for a five minute period just before they got their first.
We have demonstrated many times that the possession stat is all but meaningless. Especially when your team sets up in a way that is designed to use the ball quickly. Why do you ignore that?
Are you trying to imply that you have a superior recollection of the game because you watched it on TV and not on a stream? My stream by the way was very high quality, and also saw the highlights on match of the day and the 45 minute rerun yesterday lunch time on sky. Not that it's relevant, but if you want to make a point of it.
I didn't ignore the possession stat, in fact my second from last post made reference to it, and other people have already stated in this thread that your 68% number was a complete fabrication, regardless possession doesn't win football, as we all on this forum should know, and I was merely pointing out a section of play in the first half where we had a >60% possession stat for 5-10minutes, I never said we dominated possession. Yes they could have been out of sight at 2-1, however we could have been 2-0 up if the foul on Coutinho in the penalty area was given, or if that foul didn't happen and he scored the tap in he'd have had. We had plenty of chances, plenty.
This is all moot anyway, your point was we didn't deserve to win the game, and you're wrong. Simple. We earnt that victory through hard work, good play and limiting Spurs chances.
Yes, but isn't it refreshing to see Liverpool emerge as winners from a fairly equal tussle? That's what United do week in and week out. So many times this season we have dominated the play and ended up with a draw or a defeat.
Also, if people want to talk about luck, I'd say it was pretty lucky that Bale was coming back onto that side of the field to swing the cross for their 1st, and I'd say it was pretty lucky that there's a ref stupid enough to buy into Bale's bullshit and award a bollocks free kick that led to their 2nd.
We earned that win, and bloody deserved it, end of.

Exactly what I was saying.
It's very rare we come out victorious after such a close contest. But even at 2-1 down, we fought tooth and nail to get 3 points back. This was the most pleasing factor of Sunday's match. I loved it.
What a laughable comment.
Pat is just playing devil's advocate people ... He neglects to mention we should have been up 1-0 with a penalty (and a card to Walker), and the possession was far closer than 68-32, nor that we were set up to dominate possession (as we normally do, and as Doc has said numerous times).
Would a draw have been a fair result? Overall? Probably. But a loss at WHL was an unfair result on us, so fuck them - we made our own luck and I hope this is something we do more and more. We loss count every fucking year at how many games Manure win after 'deserving' a draw or a spanking. Time that we start winning ugly or getting lucky to win.

A teacher once told me that the definition of luck is when preparation meets opportunity. We pressed and pressed and pressed hoping for a mistake and when luck came our way we took the opportunity. Its what top teams do. Spurs didn't take theirs but we took ours, its as simple as that.
I believe he thinks it's a breakfast dish, similar to eggs benedict.
The former Pope?
It was also the standard breakfast of any good nazi youth.
Exactly. Not wishing to keep banging on about United, but I used to think they were jammy because a loose ball would always seem to rebound to a United player for them to stick it in the net. I came to realise that it was because United got plenty of players in the box, available to take advantage of such opportunities.
As I said earlier the 68% stat was one of those "previous five minute" ones. Dreamy obviously didnt spot that
I thought it was, and in our favour to, I remember reading it.
WTF?
Hahaha. Wrongly McWrong strikes again ! Pat's boss.
I'm convinced his dementia is due to avoidance of alcohol.
Nope. They definitely had more possession. I think 56-44 in Spurs' favour, if I remember correctly.
A draw would have been the fair result. They did control the game and the tempo for large parts and we did get the break for the second goal, which frankly, never looked like coming. But we took our chance and rolled our sleeves up.
Also, we didn't get our just desserts v City (twice) or Arsenal (away). So what would have been a fair result doesn't matter. Its the actual result which counts!

There was a period after our goal, it was a five minute possession stats.
Not to mention Everton. Ok I will mention it.
Correct. Sorry. I misread your post. I thought for some very odd reason you were actually agreeing with DB.
Erm, perhaps i'm being old fashioned. We scored 3, they only scored 2, therefore we deserved to win, and we did.
There's plenty of reasons why Talksport is a joke, you could start a thread on it!
