    Think you made a mistake there. Vidic could not have made that mistake. Not even hypothetically. :)

    vidic would have slid in, taken ball, balloons, keeper, opposition and avoided the fiasco:)

    and Ferdinand would have ran the pitch with the white balloon then passed to Ronaldo who would have stood on the balloon and bursted it and rolled around screaming for a peno!

    FT: Man U 3 Spurs 1

    Tevez and a brace for Ronaldo, and Keane for Spurs

    still plenty for spurs to do going forward, but a good game against the best team in the league.
    still have those defensive frailities :(

    mind you, ronaldo is really playing brilliantly at the moment.

    he is on fire. i just hope no one puts him out:)

    even sven seems to agree that it was bad defending and not ballons, taken from BBC -

    "But we should not blame the balloons as we should have done better."



    simple as this lads, this was balls fault, he miskicked the football completely, i dont care if it was a divot, another player or a f**king balloon, he made a hash of it and will suffer the jokes as a result.

    You can't beat a bit of selective quoting to boost your argument. The full quote actually reads -
    "I've never seen a goal like that before," said Eriksson. "The ball changed direction and the balloons played a one-two with Michael Ball.

    "But we should not blame the balloons as we should have done better."

    So yes he did partly blame both the balloons and Ball
