The future is bright, the future is Lilywhite!
Spurs are overflowing with confidence after claiming the scalps of Arsenal and Chelsea last week at home. But let’s be realistic. Winning at the Lane is easier than winning away from home. And can we really do it against United when we’ve not won there since December 1989? We had already lost there this season during the Carling Cup run where our first team was beaten a United team comprising youngsters and some starters.
I could continue to quote statistics of our past attempts to win at Old Trafford but the win over Arsenal has shown that history can be changed. Add to that Fergie’s annoying psycho games of unsettling opposing players with visions of summer transfers right before major matches and you know this is a tough, tough Saturday for us.
Nevertheless, with the in-form Bale relishing a 90min battle with old man Neville, the return of iron man Palacios in the middle, and the potential availability of ‘azza, this match could turn out to be fantastically entertaining. Again we must always look out for ex-Spurs players like Berbatoss (I mean Berbatov) and Carrick who could score against their old club. The likes of Nani and Valencia will also keep our back 4 busy the entire day.
Yet, with United back in the title race, they will want a result from this so anything more than a draw for us is gravy quite frankly.
COYS!
