Big Geordie

Berbatov scores- 2-1 We've pressed self-destruct Huge mistake from Ryan Taylor - tries to chest it back to Harper and f**ks it up.

Corner to the Mancs....

I think the Mancs will just up it in the 2nd half and get a couple. Also expect Steven Taylor to see red, because he's an arsehole. It's been very encouraging and we should be asking why we can't have this level of commitment and effort every week.

Spurs 3 Boro 0 Lennon

HT Ferdinand booked for still mouthing off at the ref. Well played lads - great performance. Need to keep this up. Worry is that we know the Mancs can step it up a bit in the 2nd half - Scholes and Tevez can come on. Steven Taylor now needs to be very careful - no time for headless chickens like what Nolan did the other week.

Taylor with a reckless tackle - might be a red card And it's a yellow only... lucky boy apparently.

Sounds like the Mancs have stepped up another gear.... Vidic heads over from a corner.

Martins denied by Ferdinand's shins. Man United sound all over the place at the back. Martins and Lovenkrands are taking them apart. Never thought I'd write that tonight.

Corner to us.....

Spurs 2 Boro 0 Pavlychenko

Speaks volumes for the attitude (of lack of it) from some of the senior players.

Rooney equalises.

Christ - Martins just wide. Where has this team been for the last two months? We've started really well.

Howay lads - great start.

Van der Sar doesn't get the European record for shut-outs.

Feckin hell - didn't see this coming. Worry is that it might be like poking a stick at a big feck off bear making it angry!

We've scored! Lovenkrands!

Corner !

Not as bad as first feared, apparently.

Would love to think our lot would be up for this, with everyone writing them off. :-/

Match thread still locked?

Wonder if Viduka is knackered again? Must be with not being on the bench. He's a waste of space.

Smith and Geremi is our only real options available for the middle. Ryan Taylor cannot play there - that was evident on Sunday. I wonder if Kevin Nolan will be watching with his Bolton buddies tonight?

No Shola then - at least that's something. Ferguson always puts his strongest XI out when he comes up here. He as a deep respect for the place.

Ronaldo is sheer quality - no doubt about it. Pity that kid is a dick and the most annoying thing is that he doesn't need to be.
