Kryten? He always reminds me more of anyone drawn by Carlos Ezquerra in 2000AD - the Apocalypse War springs to mind.

It'd be churlish to diss United after a great come-back: Keane and Scholes were just briliant IMHO. I only try to diss Utd when they deserve it

Don't agree about the ref though: thought he was too weak with all the mouthing off going on. He shouldn't be baking off: just card the lot of them

AndWhat was Silvestre up to with his 40 yard runs to get involved in a fight that didn't concern him??

And What about Mark Lawrenson's hair??

Hard to say mate...

Didnt help not having Naybet in the squad i suppose, but i think the main problem is the classic Spurs "lack of coverage from the midfielders"....

We just cant get that whole defensive midfielder thing right at all....our defense is always under so much pressure. Bring back big steffen fruend i say!...

I am a self-confessed Utd hater, AND a Gooner.
And I will admit that the mancs were the better side and probably deserved their win. I still think they will finish 3rd though.

KevG, you are right - Rooney should have gone after mouthing off as much as he did. You can't usually expect to get booked for foul and abusive language, THEN tell the ref to fuck off 3 times, and expect to stay on the pitch.

Silvestre was a fool. The trouble was, I said to all and sundry around me in the pub, the second utd went to 10 men, I knew that Arsenal would lose.

If you can get MotD from last night, you get all the Tunnel action before the kick-off

Roy Keane is a very scary man when angry !!

No. Please don't. Sadly, though Freund showed a lot of heart, he could have done with showing a bit more skill. Giving 100% isn't enough if you are still crap. Get Sean Davis back from injury I say.

That's upset me, that has!

According to my TV guide, MotD is on tonight, but having checked Ceefax, it's not

!! So I've missed it!!

. Tonight would have made more sense, as there's more games tonight, so they could show the whole lot, but hey-ho.

Bloody TV guides.

Bloody BBC changing their schedules

Blackburn vs. Chelsea is, ummm... interesting.

Just seen Morientes' goal at half time. Quality.

Sounds like Fulham vs. Villa is more so. 3 missed / saved penalties!!

edit: was Uriah Rennie as bad as it sounded on the radio?? They said that he wasn't making any decisions clear to anyone. The commentators assumed that the cameras were on a close up of him, lol.

nice, you hurt our arjen robben just before hooland-england

and have you read this :

Referee gives himself a red card
Referee Andy Wain gave himself a red card after 63 minutes during Peterborough North End-royal Mail AYL. The reason was that after Peterborough keeper McCaff complained about a goal he went over to the keeper and insulted him for more that a minute, after which the referee fell silent and left the pitch

Lawro, on the BBC web site, wrote:Charlton had a poor result at home to Liverpool, whereas with Craig Bellamy out of the club I'm backing Newcastle to put together a string of good results.

Bellamy leavng is the best thing that could have happened and Souness' team can get on with playing football

Hmm. One suspects that he may have some inside track on this too. The more I hear about this the more I see it as a good thing.

And he's from Preston and has us for 2-0 tomorrow as well. I like him

Yeah: I was thinking this as well. Saw some remarks on the Teletext from Terry MacDermott that sort of implied Bellamy was 'hated'. Hate's a pretty strong word so I dont know whetehr that's a direct quote or not. He qualified it by saying there were guys who'd been on the Newcastle staff for 40 years who never wanted to see Bellamy back at theclub again

I was shocked: I had no idea it had gone beyond a couple of slanging matches on the training pitch
