MOURINHO WELCOMES HARRY-LESS TOTTENHAM

     
      Manchester United have one with Tottenham Hotspur. José Mourinho looking to leapfrog Pep Guardiola as City play away after the Red half of Mancunia. Rockin’ Englishman strangling thé club doctor. f.Ed Woodward breathes a huge sigh of relief. 
    Huddersfield Town handed an L to Fergie’s kids last time out. According to José, it was rightly deserved: Man United were embarrassing and shocking defensively. Laurent Delpoitre’s finish a testament to that. Vic Lindelof still somewhere in Mou’s 🚀, ready to be blasted back to Sweden. He’s said his men would bounce back, and no better time to turn the corner than on a sunny afternoon in Old Trafford. They’ll have to get past an imperious Hugo Lloris, whose saves recently have been utterly brilliant. Just ask Phil Coutinho and Karim Benzema. Lukaku, your move to make. The Belgian passive the last time United met worthy opposition.
      Spurs? They’re still buzzing alright (or are they)? #BilicIn the hashtag which waved round Twitter Wednesday night after a miraculous comeback from 2-0 down at Wembley. Well, Harry wasn’t in the match squad (he still isn’t). He won’t be back this weekend to face David De Gea as he’s been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Indications point to Son-Heung Min replacing the groggy Englishman. Chris Eriksen and Dele Alii looking to land another blow to the hosts.
       You shouldn't miss this game. Romelu to awaken? Poch sobbing as he sips his cognac, his love’s been taken away from him.

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground.      Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried.       Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip?      Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

      (c) https://www.teamtalk.com/  Cue Mo Salah.        Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave.     Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing?  (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/     Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...

UCL 18/19: LIVERPOOL V BARCELONA PREVIEW

               One more game to the final at the Wanda Metropolitano. Some in hope, some well probably over the moon already. Oh yeah, Missandei kinda died.          Liverpool will be without Roberto Firmino and Mohammed Salah, the latter pole-axed inadvertently by Martin Dubravka on Saturday. Divock Origi got them through to the victory off the bench in place of the Egyptian. Can he and Sadio Mané conjure up a surprise? Swiss magician Xherdan Shaqiri will most likely be introduced as Klopp may either play with two up top and Shaqiri in the pivotal 10 role. Or they go 4-3-3, leaving Origi and Shaqiri out wide. The last time Barcelona had a 3-goal advantage in the first leg, they got knocked out.         That’s what Jürgentainment will be saying to his players. As brilliant as this Barcelona side are, they don’t seem to be able to live with sides who harry and press them. The first le...
