Fixture Focus - Spurs (1 Mar 2009)



Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United
(Carling Cup Final)



Since Spurs is out of the UEFA Cup proper, Harry and his boys have 2 things to concentrate now - further survival in the league, and the immediate defence of the Carling Cup. It would be important for Spurs as this is their only chance of a re-entry ticket back to European competitions, which is why Harry is staking every able-bodied man in this game.

Manchester United, on the other hand, is a paradox - they have been traditionally fielding their youngsters in this cup games. Now that they are in the final, it seems, from news reports, that they would be doing the same, too, though he did lament that "It is not an easy decision" (source - ESPNStar).

Whatever the outcome, and whatever their past records between them, tonight's game would be a good game.

Bring them on! COYS!!!!!
