2 - 0 Sounds like it was a crazy goal. Also, who the **** decided to put Robbie Savage on the radio.

Robbie Savage is awesome, the ball hit him in the face once live on air! :rofl:

[nothuman]

That was one hell of a crazy goal! Good win guys.

[Rappy Veteran]

just saw the goal...all I have to say is WHAT THE **** :rofl:

the ****? :blink:

One of the most bizarre football moments I've seen in a while, but the ref didn't stop play - didn't blow the whistle, and after Nani's handball Gomes picked up the ball to continue play - he had the ball in his possession and put it down again (right next to Nani no less); Tottenham learned a lesson the hard way - never assume play has stopped unless you hear the whistle.

(Y) the spurs fault on this one. Nani was the only one apparently who was paying attention.

I have to agree here, you always play to the whistle. If the ref doesn't whistle, you keep playing.

We were always told this when I was at school and after, when playing sports.

The goal is legitimate, and the fault is on the keeper for assuming there had been a foul. One of the most unusual sporting moments I have seen for some time though for sure :/ The question however (as it wasn't shown in that video) is did Nani actually handle the ball?

Nani wasn't really paying attention except when Fletcher told him to get up and put the ball in the net :p

Yes. It was the sort of "i've been fouled, i'm grabbing the ball" type of hand ball. But as Gomes picked it up while Nani had his hand on it, the ref played on.

That was surreal..

Looking at the reply.. I find it disgusting how the ref clearly told every Spurs player to go away when he was talking to the assistant.. yet when Rio comes and stands there not only does he not tell him to go away but he also talks to him and lets him hear what he is saying to the assistant.. I find that very odd..

United certainly have their way with a lot of referees.

Cheating united SCUM!

Cheating united SCUM!

Not really, the ref didn't blow, and United followed the rules to the letter. :p

Should blame the ref instead, and I was surprised why neither told Rio to sod off.

Liverpool scored a kind of similar one against Sunderland.

[Alladaskill17]

Embarassing for Sunderland, 5-0, :(

[Guest]

What a result!

[Rappy Veteran]

crazy result :rofl:

[psyn]

Liverpool so far have had 10 shots but only 1 on goal based on soccernet's report. You have to feel for them.

[Rappy Veteran]

looks like the good times are back for the pool

Out of relegation....but honestly if they lose the next game, they might slip right back in.

[Subject Delta]

Having watched the game... First 15 minutes great. Next 60... average, last 15... Great again

Apart from the assist, Torres had an awful game. His touches where poor, his passing was poor, and we where in general poor going forward, the passing was way off and we didn't have the greatest cutting edge either. To sneak a win with how we played overall today I felt was excellent, but the standard still has to improve if we are to climb up the table, and keep in contention for Europe this season.

[Kriz]

Good times rappy?? nowhere near! Under-par performance, they were lucky to get the 3 points..

[rajputwarrior]

The most significant point here is that this is our first away win since April. Regardless of the manner, it should put a lot more confidence in the players.

This not from a very reliable source but here goes anyway:

MANCHESTER CITY players want Roberto Mancini booted out... NOW.

Many of City's multi-millionaire under- achievers believe they will never challenge for the Premier League title with the Italian in charge. SunSport has been told some are guessing among themselves when Mancini - whose side are fourth in the Premier League, eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea - could be sacked. City suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at Wolves on Saturday during which Emmanuel Adebayor had an on-pitch row with Vincent Kompany.

A City source said: "There is hardly a player in the dressing room who has any time for Mancini. The place is a complete mess. "There are times when he tries to be a hard man but no one takes any notice. "Team spirit is falling apart because there is no respect for the manager and some players are even guessing when he could go. "They don't know who they want in, they just want Mancini out."

Another source confirmed: "The players don't like his confrontational style. "They're also baffled by him tactically - for example, they couldn't understand why he brought on defender Pablo Zabaletta for Emmanuel Adebayor instead of striker Jo at Wolves on Saturday." Yaya Toure and James Milner had a bust-up in the tunnel during last Sunday's 3-0 defeat by Arsenal. Toure's agent Dimitri Seluk says his client is angry at what he believes is a lack of winning mentality at City.Seluk said: "Yaya thinks there are some players, perhaps mostly those who have been there for a long time, who think that fourth place is already a big position that it is good enough to 'not lose' rather than to always win."
