No matter what circumstances, genuinely no idea how you can call drawing to Spurs at White Hart Lane a bad result. They will beat most teams there this season. It was a much better performance and it isn't just the result he is referring to, the second half performance from them was a lot better than in recent weeks. They actually showed a bit of desire when against Sunderland, Everton, etc they looked as though they didn't care. They looked a lot better for me yesterday and I reckon they'll beat United then draw to Arsenal. Will certainly be an interesting few weeks,
Okay, But come on, to call it a revival, They missed a fookin Penalty in the last minute, it is one game.. You would called it a turn of bad form, if they had won 5 out of the last 6 and lost a game, so why should we call it any different now....? They should of won, and the fact remains they didn't...
It isn't a revival, of course it isn't. But Ancelotti is a clown. What it is though, is a massive improvement on recent weeks regardless of what the result was. Lampard back, Drogba looked interested, Terry played well, Essien was determined and played well (Although very dirtily) but the fact is the spine of their team which has been so good for years is slowly coming back and it can only be a positive for them.
but the fact they didnt take a golden chance to win at the lane... is a massive negative..
It's not a massive negative, it's an oppurtunity missed.
but it is a massive opportunity missed, the chances that affect titles?
Give it up Scott.
We get it, you want us to believe United are a sure thing for the title and Chelsea are done and dusted.
Trust me, we get it.
Not at all Billy, I Never once said that, Just i think to call the weekends result a good result is stupid... They missed a penalty in the last minute, it was 2 points lost not a point gained for them... I Honestly don't know where the title is going.. Arsenal could still win it? And i think Chelsea will probably beat us next weekend, and then that can be called a good result, Just this is an over the top Reaction.
Trust me, I am not trying to say or imply Utd are sure thing for any title. as 6 weeks ago, Chelsea where classed as "sure thing"
No way would we have been dissapointed with a draw at the Lane, Spurs will beat majority of teams at the Lane and our recent form there has been poor.
This is not a bad result at all even if we did miss a penalty in the last minute it dosen't make it a bad result. You have to look past that and look at the performance and nobody would have complained if we did nick the 3 points.

Im not so sure you watched the game!!! We limited Spurs to long range shots which surely means they couldnt beat our backline. How many teams this season will go to WHL and only concede 1 shot on target??? And did you not see how solid Terry was attack after attack, and Ferreira made Bale look average at best.
His mate Essien had nothing to do with that at all......
That one challenge in the first half and yer i think on another day it would have been a stright red, but iv heard even neutrals on 505 and even some spurs fans say Bale got frustrated early on and alot of the time he was throwing himself down. Alot of people were saying Bale is going to rape Ferreira and it never happend and i think Paulo deserves alot of credit for that.
yer i agree maybe that was our game plan, put an early reducer on Bale and he will struggle to get into the game.
Whether it was in Carlo's game plan or not i don't know, but crunching a big player is almost always Essiens priority in the first ten minutes of a game.
Alot of players have done it in the past and alot still do it today, its what we English like to call "let him know your there" challenge lol.
