More aggravation from White Hart Lane today as Spurs somehow let a last second ball in stoppage time find its way into the net, and Manchester United were fortunate to salvage a point and deny the home side their first victory over them in over seven years. However, coupled with Arsenal's win at Manchester City, the Red Devils have now slipped into second place two points behind.
The number of dropped points this season has certainly by now reached well into double digits, so just when one thinks they've gotten used to the drill, something new comes along to remind us of our masochistic side as to why we follow Spurs.
Dimitar Berbatov knocked the ball in at the 20 minute mark, and after the infamous Pedro Mendes non-goal from 2005, I don't really want to hear any complaints if the ball which Aaron Lennon delivered to Berbatov might've touched the hand of Jermaine Jenas.
It's still kind of hard to digest how this match ended considering how poor Man United were in comparison for large stretches of the game, but we can certainly hope that a corner has been turned with Spurs in relation to winning a match against the "big four". Where's the alcohol at, then?
