Fixture Focus - Spurs (13 Dec 2008)


Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United










Jaywalk/COOL will definitely write a piece in this coming Spurs-Man Utd clash, based on their viewpoint, so I will come out with this post, based from a Spurs fan's perspective.

Every Spurs fan will know (bitterly) that one of the greatest comebacks in Manchester United history was the game where we were 3 goals up but in the end lost 5-3. And, as one of the traditional "clash of the season" game between these two, it became virtually non-existent in the last 20 years of the league or so, mainly because Manchester United had gained in prominence whilst Spurs' form became inconsistent.

As for this Saturday's match-up, it would be yet another big hurdle for Spurs to climb further up the table (and away from the dreaded relegation zone). What's more, we might be "welcoming" back Berbatov, who had left Spurs early in the season. The good news is that Rooney will not be playing, but the bad news is so is Campbell (Frazier, of course). It would be up to the original squad led by Jenas to stave off United's chase to the top.

What would be the outcome? It's hard to say, since the odds are against us, but I promise it would not be like the 5-3 debacle.

COYS!!!!!
