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:

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.

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!

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.

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.

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."

    • Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Xbox Insiders get Xbox 360 achievements and Gamertag character upgrades by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is continuing its fast-paced update schedule for Xbox Insiders. Today, the company announced a new slate of features it is rolling out to Xbox Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, which includes an expansion to the gamertag system, Xbox 360 achievements, and more. The unique Gamertag that Xbox users can choose for their profile is getting more characters. Instead of the 12-character limit, Insiders will now be able to get a Gamertag that's 15 characters long. The 12-character limit will still apply to Gamertags that are not unique or contain any non-Latin characters. Meanwhile, Microsoft is adding Xbox 360 game support to its Game Hubs. Selecting an installed Xbox 360 game on a modern Xbox console will now show achievement progress, captures, and other information. Achievement pop-ups are back for these classics too, which should be good news for achievement hunters. The next change is for Xbox players who can't wait to jump into their games when an update is required. "If a game requires an update and is available to stream through your Game Pass membership, you can start playing immediately with cloud gaming while the update downloads in the background," explains Microsoft. The final change of this Insider update is once again to the game cards. Insiders will find that all games, both released and upcoming, will now have a simple button to add to their profile's wishlist, making the process much easier from a single place. This Xbox update is rolling out today to Insiders in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring. As usual, Microsoft aims to bring it to more Insiders over time before they reach all Xbox owners. Head here to find out how to join the Xbox Insider Program to get a chance to test these features and upcoming ones on both consoles and PC.
