    We eased up because we'd played three games in the previous week.
    No point in killing your players when you're strolling to an easy victory and four goals to the good early in the second half.

    There is being ruthless, and pushing people over the edge into
    the mindset of guards at genocide prisons. The boys obviously
    knew in terms of inflicting physical pain, how much was enough to
    make the enemy understand.

    Quite true. They were chucking in some nasty tackles as it was. They'd have totally lost it if we'd have gone for it at 5-1 and got a few more.

    For Spurs to have committed a double digit GF atrocity, in front
    of a global TV audience, would probably have led to ENIC being
    put on trial at Den Haag.

    From 2012-13 their league W/D/L record against Spurs at OT is 5/0/4.
    Quite a fall from "lads, it's Spurs" eh.

    Always said that the 2-3 loss in 2012-13 made Fergie realise that
    twas time to quit come end of that season ....

    Apparently there were arguments in the Utd dressing room at half time and the cause/ one of the causes was Lamela getting Martial sent off.

    We’re taking this **** thing to a whole new level <laugh>
