Manchester United manager Sir Alex
Ferguson said the four minutes of
injury time added to his team's defeat
by Tottenham was an "insult". Clint Dempsey scored the winner as
Spurs won 3-2 to win at Old Trafford
for the first time in 23 years. Ferguson said: "It was disappointing
because the record has been fantastic. "They gave us four minutes [injury
time], that's an insult to the game. It
denies you a proper chance to win a
football match." Andre Villas Boas's side went two
goals ahead as Jan Vertonghen
scored within two minutes and Gareth
Bale added another in the first half,
before a frantic period after the break
where three goals came in two minutes. Nani reduced the deficit but a minute
later Dempsey made it 3-1 and,
although Shinji Kagawa closed the gap
once more, Spurs defended stoutly to
hang on. Ferguson told BBC Sport: "There were
six substitutions, the trainer came on,
so that's four minutes right away and
the goalkeeper must have wasted
about two or three minutes and they
took their time at every goal kick. "That's obvious to everyone today
and it's a flaw in the game that the
referee is responsible for time
keeping. It's ridiculous that it's 2012
and the referee still has control of
that." Manchester United have now lost two
of their six Premier League games, and
sit third in the table behind leaders
Chelsea and Everton. Ferguson said he was pleased with the
second half performance where
Wayne Rooney hit the post from a
free-kick, while Michael Carrick had a
header come back off the bar. But the Scot said his side paid for a
poor first-half showing where both
Vertonghen and Bale carved through
the hosts's defence. "The most important thing was the
first half," Ferguson added. "We didn't
start, we were lackadaisical and lost a
goal after two minutes, and you give
yourself an uphill fight with that
situation. "In the second half we were terrific, it
was a great performance by them, and
we were unlucky not to win it... and if
we had held the scoreline at 2-1 for a
few minutes I think we would have
won the match."

obviously this baba needs to go and retire jare, He
has to accept this. United didn't
score from minute 53 to minute 94.
Any more time would'nt have
changed the outcome jor.

Old age is catching u with baba gradually. Baba should have quit the stage when the ovation was loudest.

The respected manager is prolly going senile. What was he expecting, 45mins?
