Well now, when it comes to football, one man has for many years been the most noticeable, the most controversial, and occasionally the most successful blogger this country has ever produced. His pithy words and abrasive style make him as famous off the pitch as he is on it. This man is Escapini. "I love football. Football she's a cruel mistress. She's, she's more than a mistress. She's a wife, she's a mother, she's a daughter, she's an errant child. She's a… she's a… she can make you laugh, she make you cry. She can bring tears me eyes. She can bring blood to me shoulders. She can bring a kettle to the boil." "Cause football is about nothing, unless it's about something and what it is about, is football."

Predict The Result – Utd vs Spurs

The time for talking will soon be over.

Tottenham come to Old Trafford hoping to face a team still under a cloud of disarray from the whole Rooney business. They may find themselves disappointed.

Spurs are in a similar boat to United. They too have a striker problem. I’m not talking about keeping up on the brassing front. Crouch has represented the Londoners with aplomb. I’m talking about strikers actually scoring goals.

Berbatov’s alleged renaissance will have been severely scrutinized come tea-time tomorrow. If he doesn’t make his mark, the blisteringly in form Hernandez will surely oblige.

Tottenham will be clutching rosary beads in the hope that Ledley King is available to provide some class of confidence to a back four that has been erratic at best. 21 years since Spurs have won at United, as I am sure Gary Lineker will remind us win – lose – or – draw.
