Just watching again on SpursPlay, it's a delight listening to Rob and Clive after putting up with Sky and Gary Neville making it all about United.
A couple of things standing out for me...
- Our much-maligned front three were loads better than I realised at the time. Son and Kulu had excellent games. Richi was less fortunate but he never stopped working, dragging defenders out of position. I'm pretty certain his anger after being subbed was frustration at himself (and his bad luck at just missing out on a stunning 1-2) rather than directed at Ange.
- The refereeing was insane. Rob and Clive were tearing their hair out. Pretty much every 30% foul challenge went against us. United were given the benefit of the doubt in pretty much every 70% foul challenge they made. How Martínez's challenge on Romero wasn't a penalty I'll never know.
