Spurs? I think you'll find we beat Spurs, as always, lol.
As for Shaktar; yeah they beat, fair and square as it happens. They didn't need a dodgy ref and blind linesman.
I think you would find you were fortunate to beat spurs.
Either that or your players didn't do the seemingly big bottle job your club does when it gets into big matches against us in recent times.
They also beat Reading due to a linesman missing an offside goal. You couldn't make it up

Van persies original shot actually went a yard over the line so the offside goal is irrelevant.
-------------------------------------
Really? It was a great save from Cech, it spun away to hit the post, wasn't close to crossing the line.
But it was good to get some luck against Chelsea considering the luck they've had against us in the past few years.
What concerns me though is that yesterday we started brilliantly and then deteriorated as we went on, in total contrast to other games in our season.
If we can start playing as well as we have started and finished games this season for a whole game, then someone is going to get a pasting at some point!
Erm, you didn't deterioate as the game went on. Chelsea took control of the day after a rubbish start. Then they dominated, got back to 2-2 and Fergie hit pressed a button to activate ref-bot before an embarrassing defeat ensued.
Haha! Bitter.
You mean Ivanovic hit his usual "I can't tackle" button and Torres hit the "bottle it and dive" button?
Ivanovic was rightly sent off, the Torres one was a joke. Anyone can see he was caught by Evans.
My summation of the game is fair. When is was 11 against 11 Chelsea were the better team, after a shaky start. Then the officials stepped in and ruined a great game of football.
So you're ignoring the fact that Torres should have been sent off for the karate kick on Clevs and wouldn't have been on the pitch anywa?
Did you think Valencia also dived at the end? There was more contact on him than there was on Torres?
Both players were rightly yellow carded for simulation. Torres was just stupid enough to do it when he had already been booked rather than just carry on and put the ball in the net. Valencia was just knackered and had nobody up supporting him!
Torres knew that Mata had more chance of scoring from a free kick on the edge of the box (and probably an Evans sending off) than Torres did of scoring a one on one with De Gea.
Attempted to gain an advantage unfairly, simple as that. Probably guilty of bottling it too.
