Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
There were a few times today when I though Dembele was going to knock down United's door himself. Great performance.
njured Spurs midfielder Sandro on Twitter: "Yesss.... Great guys. I always believed you could do it. Come on you Spurs."
And Parker did his job today, well done sir. Hudd looked solid and having Benny back on the left will be a huge boost as we carry on the campaign. What was the deal with Super Jan today?
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-boas on BBC Sport: "It was a big relief. I thought we dominated the complete game.
"We could not get in behind them a lot but had 15 opportunities. We have talented players and we gave them different problems, the team came out very strong in the second half.
"I think the boys have embraced the spirit that we want to be in the Champions League next year, and you need to amass as many points as possible.
"We wanted to win, but it was an important point in the end due to the form United are in. A point can give us a lot of confidence."

Obika? How many goals do you think he would have scored this season?
What am I missing here - what penalty decision was that?
I didn't see there was a decision to make
Rooney falling over in a penalty area isn't a penalty decision - its just Rooney falling down in the penalty area.
Or conversely - its also known as a yellow card to Gareth Bale (when he goes to ground anywhere between either goal line)
I think you are being grossly unfair to accuse them of being negative
inasfar as they had no choice but to play the way they did, we didn't let them play.
Period
We'll never know, unless AVB gives him a chance.
Agreed, coulibaly obika and coulthirst aren't ready for the first team. Stop that crazy talk.
I applogise to the forum for breaking my streak of only wins off match threads, but, well, fuck you.
Lennon and Deuce were aces tonight. Clint was unlucky off those first two opportunities that caught him off guard and on his left foot.
Defoe never did the right thing with the ball, and Bale was hoping his world's greatest status would get him a goal.
Dembélé was good, but I don't like the combination with Parker one bit. Parker is not a playmaker, but Man U forced him into that position.

Madness. Obika better than Defoe. Despite all the hate for Defoe on here, I didn't realise people had started believing Obika is better.
Away from home when teams come at us Parker is great but when a team sits back they mark our key players leaving Parker to carry the ball which is the worst part of his game, when we are dominating and need a goal I think Hiddlestone or Carrol are the better option.
The better option is Moutinho but we will probably have to settle for Holtby.
Lennon was fantastic today, my MOTM by a distance.
One thing the game did highlight was our need for a more clinical striker, too many opportunities go begging

Meh, didn't really have enough time on the pitch to be able to make a fair judgement either way, I think.
Look, i'm not saying he should start. All i'm saying is that he's good enough to be on the bench (and as a late sub). We have only 1 proper striker ffs...
Okay okay I may have over done it, but he's still a cunt, surely you can give me that
