    Reporter: "Pep said winning the PL > UCL. Which is more important to you?"

    Jose: "I think we say the most important one is the one we win. When I win the UCL, it's more important. When I win the league, it's more important. When I win nothing...winning isn't important." �� #MUFC

      His Egyptian teammate ACTUALLY punched Danny Ings and slapped Salah in the face last weekend and nothing was done, so....

      Clearly the refs and FA are biased towards Egyptians.

        Right but there was pretty heavy fan reaction to that

          I think the difference here is that nobody is talking about Salehs punch really. If it was Lukaku, Dele or anyone else it would be major news.

            Do you always spell his name wrong on purpose? Talking about Salah.

              The FA has been nothing if consistent this season in not punishing players for stuff like this, so I'm sure Salah will be fine.

              I just thought the difference in reactions from fans between the Hegazi and Salah incidents was particularly hilarious.

                Ha no, sorry about that. For some reason my phone auto corrects it everytime to Saleh (my sister in laws name).

                  But Salah is so darn lovable and doesn't have the reputation for being a ****head. He's building hospitals, folks. It wasn't even a punch attempt, he was just trying to give Martins Indi the blessings of Allah by touching his forehead.

                    Spurs needed that lucky break for the goal. They have looked flat so far in this one. Anything less than 3pts today gives Liverpool and Chelsea a big boost.

                      See, you are joking, but honestly I've legitimately seen people make arguments very close to this one

                        People do it with Wilshere all the time, and Christian Eriksen.

                          It wasn't exciting or pretty but a big 3pts.

                            Yesh... holy crap. This is what it feels like to be a Chelsea supporter nowadays, I suppose. Scraping cheap wins against weak opponents.

                              Hasn't being a Spurs supporter always felt that way?

                                Do you mean when we've consistently over performed for several decades with weak squads or when we've pushed into the top four with a better squad?
