Gary Neville Pundit Masterclass: Spurs Van Der Vaart Is A Cheat

TOTTENHAM Hotspur v Arsenal Quote of the Day – presented by Sky Sports’ Gary Neville on the oscasion of Van der Vaart’s goal:

“He’s brought that down with his hand, but taking nothing away from him…”

Taking nothing away from Van der Vaart – other than saying he’s a cheat…

Update: Glenn Hoddle says “it hit the apex of his shoulder and his chest”.

Alan Smith says: “…put it this way, if he didn’t have a left arm I don’t think he’d have been able to control that.”

Debate rages.

Note: Vand Der Vaat has previous:

When at Real Madrid the midfielder admitted using his hands to help his side to a 3-1 win over Sporting Gijon. As he said:

“There was a bit of hand in there, but it doesn’t matter because we won. The best thing was that we have got three important points.”

Cheating is ok – so long as you win.
