Il Manchester United ha piegato (3-1) il Tottenham e si è riportato al comando della EPL. Il duello tra i “Red Devils” ed il Chelsea sembra destinato a protrarsi fino all’ ultima giornata di questa avvincente stagione. Nei bassifondi il successo del West Ham e la contemporanea sconfitta dell’ Hull City hanno avvicinato notevolmente il traguardo della salvezza per gli “Hammers”. Alcuni video relativi agli incidenti accaduti in occasione della sfida tra Burnley e Blackburn ( foto ), derby da sempre molto sentito, hanno provocato reazioni di sdegno anche nei confronti della presunta “mano pesante” che avrebbero avuto gli agenti in servizio, autori di robuste “cariche”. Infatti le immagini ritrarrebbero interventi vigorosi anche verso tifosi apparentemente corretti nelle loro condotte ed estranei agli scontri. Tuttavia, a destare polemiche in Inghilterra è anche il divieto che alcuni pubs avrebbero in mente di attuare in vista della prossima coppa del mondo, ossia quello di entrare nelle birrerie con indosso le magliette delle squadre.

Man Utd 3 – 1 Tottenham
|
By Phil McNulty
Chief football writer, Old Trafford |
Manchester United turned up the heat on Chelsea as they returned to the top of the Premier League by beating Tottenham at Old Trafford.
Nani’s wonderfully composed finish was sandwiched in between two penalties from Ryan Giggs as United ran out deserved winners against a disappointing Spurs to establish a two-point lead at the top of the table – at least until Chelsea face Stoke City on Sunday.And it was a crucial victory achieved without Wayne Rooney, who was forced to watch from an executive box after suffering a groin problem in training on Thursday.United’s win put a halt to Spurs’ charge on fourth place after their recent wins against Arsenal and Chelsea at White Hart Lane, and this was a disappointing display from Harry Redknapp’s side.Giggs gave United the lead from the spot just before the hour after Patrice Evra, who suffered from illness during the game, was fouled by Benoit Assou-Ekotto.Ledley King looked to have put Spurs in sight of a point when he took advantage of shoddy United defending to head home Gareth Bale’s corner with 20 minutes left, but they went under in the face of a trademark late surge from Sir Alex Ferguson’s champions who are seeking a fourth title in succession.Substitute Federico Macheda’s pass set up Nani to restore United’s lead with nine minutes remaining, and another Giggs penalty in the closing minutes sealed the points.He showed all his experience and composure to score after Wilson Palacios hauled Nani to the ground.
Berbatov cut a frustrated figure in the first ha
|
Spurs could have no complaints about the penalties awarded by referee Andre Marriner, or indeed the final outcome on a day when the blistering attacking form they had showed in the last fortnight deserted them.Ferguson’s business-like celebrations at the final whistle were a tacit acknowledgement that Chelsea can still put themselves back in pole position.
He will be delighted, however, that his side showed the character and ability to beat a Spurs side that arrived at Old Trafford high in confidence and considered to be a huge threat to United’s hopes of securing the three points they required – and all without their talisman, in Rooney.Rooney’s absence was a severe blow for a game United simply had to win to keep applying the pressure on Chelsea at the top of the table.The importance of the game was not reflected in a first 45 minutes that was a carefully assembled monument to tedium, with both teams demonstrating a total lack of inspiration and creativity.United did exert a brief spell of pressure around the half-hour mark, when King blocked brilliantly from Dimitar Berbatov eight yards out and Antonio Valencia shot straight at Heurelho Gomes after he was sent clear by Rafael.
Spurs did not mount a single serious threat on Edwin van der Sar’s goal as the half drew to a tame conclusion that betrayed the quality of the players on show.United defender Evra was struggling and was physically sick in the opening stages of the second half – but recovered sufficiently to almost create the opener for United after 52 minutes. Berbatov headed his cross into the path of Darren Fletcher, but he was inches away from providing the crucial touch.Wilson Palacios then gave Van der Sar his first moment of anxiety with a long-range shot, a sign of Spurs’ previous failure to exert any sort of threat on United.

606: DEBATE

Redknapp attempted to inject more purpose by replacing the desperately disappointing Jermain Defoe with Eidur Gudjohnsen, but it was United who made the crucial breakthrough from the spot after 58 minutes.The much-criticised Berbatov played a crucial role with a run into the area and clever flick into the path of Evra. Assou-Ekotto was committed to the tackle and flattened Evra, leaving Giggs to score in composed fashion at the Stretford End. Remarkably, it was the first penalty of his long Premier League career.
Spurs fans, frustrated by their lack of penetration, had been demanding the introduction of Aaron Lennon, and he duly arrived with 25 minutes left in place of David Bentley.The impact was instant, although Lennon was not involved as King drew Spurs level with 20 minutes left. Michael Carrick showed a lack of strength in the challenge as King rose to head Bale’s corner past Gomes, with Rafael also out of position as he defended on the post.Ferguson is the master of the positive substitution and produced another one when he replaced defender Rafael with Macheda as time ran out. As so often before, fortune favoured the brave as Nani restored United’s lead with nine minutes left.Macheda’s angled pass released Nani in the area, and he waited his moment to perfection before lifting a superb lofted strike over Gomes as he came out.And the game was effectively over four minutes from time when United were awarded another penalty, this time when Nani was bundled over by Palacios. This time he chose to go to Gomes’ left, but the end result was the same and Old Trafford was able to celebrate their side’s return to the top of the table.

Football fans don’t deserve this police abuse
The Burnley v Blackburn derby provided another example of police using violence against fans who posed no threat
One of the troubling developments in the past few years, is the number of times police have been captured on film lashing out at innocent demonstrators and football fans, neither of whom can rely on ready sympathy from the public, but who nevertheless have rights in a democracy.Three weeks ago, the east Lancashire derby between Burnley and Blackburn Rovers took place in normally tense conditions, in which fans from both sides were isolated before and after the fixture at Burnley’s ground, Turf Moor. Trouble after the match was reported in the media with Superintendant Terry Woods, of Lancashire police, issuing a standard statement about a few troublemakers. “Unfortunately we have had to deal with some disorder inside and outside the ground,” he said. “However, the operation that is in place has enabled us to successfully deal with those pockets of disorder rapidly.”Yesterday, the Police State website publicised a video that shows shocking levels of violence by the police and which certainly puts a different slant on what actually happened after the game. Officers are seen wading into the crowd with batons flailing. It is only a 40-second video, but the fans did not appear to be presenting a violent threat.In one instance, a father who had attended the match with his 12-year old son said he had stumbled and fallen on one police officer. He said he was beaten across the face, received a severely bruised leg and a suspected broken rib as his son watched in horror. He was then arrested and held in custody by the police for four hours, during which he was seen by a police doctor and eventually presented with a choice – accept a caution or face a charge of violent disorder.He opted for the first, but he is planning to press a complaint against the police in a civil action. His case has also been taken up by the Football Supporters Federation (FSF), which is increasingly active in defending fans’ rights and focusing attention on policing operations that involve violence and the abuse of new laws to prevent people from exercising their right to attend a football game. While conceding that the Burnley v Blackburn Rovers game required a heavy police presence, Amanda Jacks, of FSF, said the violence in the film was shocking and would turn ordinary law-abiding football supporters against the police. Meanwhile, the Independent Police Complaints Commission said it refused to investigate the matter.At an FSF event earlier this year, I was struck by how many times people suggested that the police treat fans like animals. That may be true, but I am almost certain that if a video showing animals being beaten like this was put up on YouTube there would be calls for an inquiry, but with football supporters the general reaction is that they deserve it. That is clearly wrong.

England Football Shirts could be BANNED at pubs
England football shirts could be banned at pubs screening live World Cup matches.
Killjoy British cops have urged landlords to bar anyone wearing a Three Lions top, as they want to avoid a repeat of the violence that has marred previous events, particularly if England lose, The Sun reports.”We often hear of a loss of pride in Britain, now cops want to ban the England shirt. It”s like saying anyone who wears one is a yob,” said a fan.The advice comes in a letter from the Metropolitan Police to pubs in Croydon, South London.Among World Cup guidance, it suggests “dress code restrictions – example no football shirts”. It also urges using plastic glasses and door staff.Pubs are not obliged to follow the advice, but it warns: “Police will not hesitate to use powers under the Licensing Act should we find you are not actively supporting the prevention of crime.“USA will make it to the quarter finals at absolute best- but even that is provided they don’t face Germany in the second round… or Algeria do a Cameroon Italia 90/ Senegal 02.
