Fergie:
"It's disappointing because we were in control of the game, never in danger before their goal. We should have finished them off.
"They weren't a threat except from set pieces. We should have finished them off. We had a couple of chances. But that's what happens when you're not getting the breaks - things don't go for you."
"We were maybe a bit careless in possession, and we had some good opportunities to kill the game off.
"All we can do is stick together, there is no other way to do it.
"Apart from set-pieces, Tottenham were never really a danger to us but the free-kick changed the whole shape of the game.
"We got a bit careless in possession and couldn't take our opportunities in the final third.
"We cannot do anything about Chelsea, all we can do is concentrate on our own results.
"We have to collect as many points as we can and try to stay as close as possible.
"I think at the end of the day it's probably a fair result."
The ever-impressive Martin Jol:
"I was disappointed because three or four players hadn't fulfilled their potential.
"The second half was 100 per cent better and we could have nicked it."
