Hey Sir Alex, when are you going to celebrate again? Manchester United need to start winning these sort of games to bring back that fear factor. That classic 5-3 victory at White Hart Lane could be hard to topple, but United need to send out a statement. “Respect man, respect!” Not these kind.
If there’s a time for Ferguson’s great grandkids to face the Wembley hosts, it’s now. Tottenham (and a particular Merseysider led by a supposed dentist) fail to stand up and be counted when the going gets tough. Remember the Tinkerman in 2016? Yeah, his side had surprisingly had the staying power required of Champions (Josè would tear his hair out saying it’s “football heritage”). With Oleball unlocking Pogba, and giving the supporting cast the license to roam, RB Kieran Trippier could be quaking like Lee Dixon did in 1999’s FA Cup Semi-final. Most of United’s attacks foray through the left wing. Yes, it’s a must-win game for both sides. And eh, if United could nick it, are they back in the title race? Time to banish those ghosts of the last meeting in 2018.
Rio Ferdinand’s probably in Cloud 9 bragging on Twitter as we speak. Spurs v Utd’s always a classic, full of goals: and oh Big ROM has a point to prove. Fancy punting on Lukaku to do it for world peace?
