Quote: Chris Dalton "Opened up easily? You meant bent over and took one for the champions?
United had started off quite well in that hals. Carrick being in the position to almost score is proof of this. It was an inevitability that the reds would come back at you strong and this feeble penalty excuse is just a convenient way of dodging the real issue - when United turned it on you had no answers whatsoever. Penalty counts for one goal. You were still ahead after it was scored and still had the game in your hands. No wonder you are so ashamed.'"
A total lack of evidence blows this away. The game was still sat at 2-0 despite Utd apparently starting the second half well (did they? It looked pretty similar to the first half to me with Utd having no penetration and Spurs defending easily).
The real issue is that everybody concerned with the game (including both managers) knew the first goal and when it came in that second half was hugely important. The referee gave Utd it early on and with it, the game. It was disgusting.
we know you meant british
