dear mr burley
i'm writing to you in regards to your 40 minute commentary on the shocking penalty decision at old trafford yesterday. I especially enjoyed the professional manner in which you portrayed the excellent football united played in the build up to the goal and the 4 other goals that followed it. it was a joy to hear and totally refreshing.
It was the first half that really showed of your talents in journalism though. The way you fused Uniteds failings with the deserved praise of spurs play was second to non. The reference to the 'silly' challenge on Ronaldo by palacios after the first 6 mins was skill fully muted as you brought to us the joy of an open game. Even when united went 2 goals behind your professionalism prevented you from mentioning the fact that perhaps spurs were lucky not to be playing with 10 men. It wouldn't have been fair to take anything away from the spurs performance. In any case there's no saying that tottenham wouldn't have scored two goals anyway. It seems your success and talents that we have all had the pleasure of witnessing in the beautiful game will be mirrored in you new career in commentary. All the best |

I watched the game at home with a mate of mine who supports spurs. He was #@&%!-a-hoop when they scored both their goals, but quickly calmed himself down at half time as he said "if anyone can £#%&! this up - it's tottenham"
To be fair to him as well, he didn't go down the media line of "that penalty ruined the world for everyone" he said that spurs were still winning 2-1 and should have been tougher mentally. Blamed his team for capitulating. |

All I could think watching MOTD was 'methinks you protest too much'. Dixon and Hansen seemed to be desperate, repeating 'it changed the match', 'yes it was the turning point', 'yes, it definitely was the turning point that changed the match' over and over.
I must have missed the new FA rule that says teams 2-1 up are not allowed to attack. Still, as we all know, United are the only team who benefit from injury time, penalties and red cards. On any given weekend you will see much worse decisions go for or against teams elsewhere in the table. Mentioned anywhere? Perhaps briefly, and that's it. |
