Always aggravates me when I see a manager play the fixture congestion card. Any manager. Trying to win more than one trophy, by playing numerous matches, is meant to be bloody difficult. That is why it is an achievement when it is done. Things should not be re-arranged to allow any top club to...
One of Harry's worst performances today I thought. A seemingly total lack of preparation and "that'll do" team selection. Coupled with one of BAE's rare poor performances this season, and yet another apathetic 'effort' from Crouch which meant there was zero ball retention forward.
Made Kevin...
Very disappointed...Players worn out after a highly charged week, or just the key players playing at a lower gear to preserve their World Cup opportunity? Def think the latter applies to Lennon and King and Daws. Oh well...
Still reckon Ferguson will try to do his default act of each summer, ie order his chairman to "buy Tottenham's best player". Bid for Modric is inevitable. We should be able to resist it now...I hope.
Was scared for moment when the ref called over Hudd and reached in his pocket. Thought it could all fall to pieces at that point. But apart from Tevez, they were no threat at all to Leds and Daws and Gomes.
The Bale-Bents double act in the corner, running down the clock, was great to watch.

There are going to be plenty of stories like this around our top players - Modric, Lennon, Bale, Dawson, etc. Just the way it is in the champs-league twisted premiership with the big clubs who have been riding that gravy train for so long. When City miss out, as they will, they are going to buy...
Do not think I have shouted at the players on my TV as much for a long time as I did today! Particularly when Gomes was hobbling in the closing stages. So relieved we held out. Bolton can be so awkward to play, particularly when they seem to have the ref's sympathy. Shame about the Citeh result...
Can only ever be in awe of King. As is every match commentator it seems to me.
Amusing in the stream I was watching - when Bale went down rubbing his knee the commentator said "King comes over to show Bale what an injured knee really looks like and tell him to get up."
That was my thoughts as well when the second player went down! Reaction to performance enhancing injections. I am sure Ryan Giggs will reveal what went on to prolong his ability to be a game-changing player when he retires in 20 years time...
Ferguson clearly identified to his team what to take advantage of in the second half, and so they did...only sympathy for BAE. Not so much for Wilson who was clumsy at best.
