Cleverly was poached from Bradford.

Still better than signing mercenaries from Turkey.

Defoe's passing

"na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey...Danny Wellbeck"

Possibly the worst football song ever?

So I've seen Livermore for 74 minutes now and I'm pretty sure he is a lot better than Lass Diarra. Still glad Spurs are taking him off our hands.

THAT. WAS. AWESOME

Great play by Welbeck. Good finish from Anderson. Stupid dance from Anderson.

Wow, what a backheel from Wellbeck. Great goal.

who'd have thought a CM of Huddlestone and VDV wouldn't work?

Man Utd are playing some really lovely football this season. That's two wonderful team goals they've scored already this year.

Going to be tough to leave Welbeck out after this..

DE GEA BEING AWESOME

De Gea

Very tough

Even though this is a fixture that Spurs haven't won in 500 years, it's crazy to think that Man. Utd. are comfortably beating Spurs with a team where the players' ages are 20, 21, 19, 23, 30, 23, 22, 24, 26, 25, 20!

And most of the team is British.

edit..I see my stream is about 5 mins behind!

Giggsy on

Lets hear some songs from the Spurs fans plz.

VDV has been very sloppy today

Yeah, though I should point out, the ages are a bit misleading because almost all those players have solid Premier League experience under their belt and have played a lot of games already. Loan system has been used well for the likes of Cleverly and Wellbeck. Also in this particular game, they weren't really dominating, but managed to step up their level and get the win (provided Spurs don't pull off a miracle in the last 5 mins).

De Gea's kicking is brilliant. But when does he play Stoke

Poor ball handling. Needs to be more positive/confident when catching.

Beaten by the better team. No complaints

Poor ball handling.

Probs on a cold night.

ROOOOOOOONEY

Rooney. 3-0

Our perennial bottle job at OT continues

Rooney rubbing it in now.

Dawson has been kind of poor tonight.

First half was decent though unspectacular by both teams. Friedel with a good save from Cleverley in the opening minutes, but I'd say Spurs had better link up.

Second half is/was very one-sided just outside Spurs' box for the majority of it. And when Spurs do manage to counter they made poor decisions.

Poor poor De Gea.

Phil Jones has been spectacular.

'What a fucking goal', was Ferguson's response to Man Utd's second.

I've been impressed with Man Utd in each of the three games they've played so far this season - in the Community Shield, in their game against West Brom even though their victory in that match came a little fortunately, and again tonight. It is remarkable to think that four of the players in their starting eleven tonight are new to the squad - Young, Cleverley, Jones and De Gea - and that Welbeck returned this summer from a season-long loan, and has played only a few games for the first team before, and Smalling has only had one season with the club (and he is an interesting case, given that, from what I recall, Man Utd signed him after only a handful of starts for Fulham, for a relatively small fee, in a relatively speedy, low-key deal). Smalling and Cleverley look so composed and intelligent, and Welbeck in a few games has relegated Hernandez to the bench; and in general this Man Utd side, with Cleverley in the centre of the pitch, Rooney up front and Nani and Young roaming a bit, with Smalling and Evra quick down the flanks, is already playing more attractive football than I've seen Man Utd play in a number of years. They are full of clever, composed dribbling, flicks and quick interplay.
