lol Yeah I suppose. Modric though is class and Sandro is a better hammer thrower than Fletcher from what I've seen this season.

Spurs' midfield is better than Uniteds. Spurs are so underrated by DaG and Ant. Ant couldn't be any more bitter if he tried.

Not saying that its becuase he thinks Uniteds midfield is better but the "lol" after. Not a comment to follow with lol as its not clear cut at all.

Also one thing I don't get is unlike United where I feel their squad isn't amazing but they have a mentality like no other and an amazing manager. According to you two Spurs have a shit manager, shit mentality and shit players. Something isn't right.

No, United's midfield is genuinely better. They've won things, they're well drilled, Spurs have a few fancy names who are getting wanked over but they haven't ever done anything to warrant the praise. There's a reason Man Utd win things, solidarity, consistency, teamwork etc. Spurs just have a few decent names on the pitch. If they win the CL I'll say fair play, but we all know that won't happen.

Why is Ant bitter and not DaG? Ant has given Spurs praise in recent weeks whereas DaG does nothing but put them down; plus Ant is bitter when he's saying United > Spurs lol...
Scholes
 

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

He is bitter that Spurs are the reason they're not in the C/L. As much reason to that them atm. Also DaG is bitter but he hasn't been making it clear in a few threads tonight.

Well it is the point you made actually, you may have made another point afterwards, but that doesn't magic the first point out of existence. It can't be that hard ffs don't be so lazy and contribute to the debate. You've only got to string about 5 sentences together max, so answer my question please :D .

The balance of their midfield is better for me. You have the creativity they have in Scholes but no one to cover for that with the defensive duties you'd get from Sandro/Palacios other than in Fletcher who has been poor and Modric is much better than Scholes defensively. Lennon like I said the other day for me is a fantastic player and the ammount of times he has Van Der Vaart at the heart of the back 4 from running at the defence and laying off to him is incredible. Bale is overrated but is still one of the best crossers of the ball in the league and with a better striker he'd have a ridiculous ammount of assists. United have that in Valencia and he imo does it to a higher standard but who know's how he will recover? Nani is class imo. I don't get why people hate on tbh but still not enough to make Uniteds midfield better imo. Like I said its very close.

Cheers son. I would argue that United's wingers are better than spurs' wingers atm. If Bale continues to develop that may change. I think it is ridiculously close between the central midfielders. Modric has a better engine than Scholes and like you say is better defensively. Scholes though pings passes like few other people on the planet. I like Sandro, think he could have been better the fletcher this season who has been below his standard of the two previous seasons.

Because our midfield don't control things Sam. Fletcher gives it away for fun, Carrick hides all game long and Scholes is getting old. It exposes our defence and gives our front men less to work with. That's why I have a problem with our midfield. Tell me with a straight face our midfield is as good as Barca's, Madrid's, Chelsea's, Inter's, Spurs' even.
Yeah, I agree that our midfield probably isn't as good as the first four of those teams, but that doesn't mean it's not good enough to win the CL. I agree that we should probably strengthen that department over the summer - though I don't believe it's our #1 priority - but this team can win the Champions League, make no bones about it. At the end of the day, with this apparently shite midfield we're sitting pretty at the top of the PL, still in the three major competitions. And yeah its weaknesses might leave our defence exposed at times but when we have the right personnel fit and firing (ie Ferdinand and Vidic) we can cope with that.

Midfield is overrated anyway.

Vermaelen not coming back this season and Djourou out for at least 6 weeks. Game over for us.
