And the Spurs go matching on.....

Recently,i looked in the eyes of my uncle and aunt,and all i could see was a bright light.That bright light that only comes on in a parents eye when their child makes them proud.On this particular day,my uncle and aunt were proud because their daughter had become a lawyer.There was joy in the air knowing that all the work,time and investment had paid off.You don't have to know her entire life history but my cousin had gone through a lot but finally was a lawyer.and it was on her 23rd birthday...............now why the hell am i telling you about my cousin?...well its simple shes 23 and that number is significant at this particular moment.....a lot of things have happened in 23 years,my cousin has become a lawyer, the world has seen a black president of America,a failed Nigerian suicide bomber(the idiot couldnt even do it well) and it has taken 23 years for Tottenham Hotspurs to beat Manchester United in Old Trafford.......

There is always a big buzz when you walk to Old Trafford,the fans pouring out with such confidence,pies,scarfs and match programs been sold.and this was a particular fixture that a lot of fans were not born the last time they saw Tottenham win at the the Theatre of Dreams.Tottenhams manager Andre Villa Boas said it was special night for his team,the Tottenham manager screamed at the final whistle in delight but was quick to point out that it was a massive team effort that got his team the 3 points and gave a special thanks to the fans.i don't know which one is more disappointing,the loss or the exposure the loss has shown to the Sunday football style of midfield that United had or currently have.....lets not even talk about the defense.

Tottenham stunned the vast majority of the 75,566 crowd inside two minutes when they took the lead after a neat one-two between Vertonghen and Bale.United backed off and Vertonghen burst into the penalty area and evaded a half-hearted Ferdinand challenge before striking a low shot which deflected into the net off Evans.It was a lead Spurs deserved as they took the game to United who barely had a touch in the opening 10 minutesTottenham looked assured and totally in control with Dempsey and Mousa Dembele dominating in the centre against a largely ineffective Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

With United struggling to make any impression inside the visitors' territory, Spurs doubled their lead with a fabulous goal which sliced a hole straight down the heart of the home defence.Dembele broke from the halfway line and slipped the ball to Bale who ran on and ghosted through the United defence before hitting a cool finish past Anders Lindegaard.With Wayne Rooney on for Giggs after the break, United predictably picked up their pace as they went in search of a goal and it was not long before the game took an incredible twist with three goals in just 139 seconds.United broke through when Rooney crossed for Nani to fire home from six yards but Tottenham immediately restored their two-goal advantage when Bale's fierce shot was only half-saved by Lindegaard allowing Dempsey to tap in.A fifth goal followed seconds later as United swept up field and Kagawa slotted in their second from Robin van Persie's slide-rule pass.

United continued to surge forward and Rooney was unlucky with a sweetly struck free-kick which crashed back off the woodwork before Van Persie had an effort which was correctly ruled offside.Tottenham had to dig deep into their defensive reserves as United, with Danny Welbeck on for Kagawa, pressed forward in search of an equaliser.There were several penalty appeals, including what looked like a handball by Sandro, and a number of near misses as Michael Carrick's header glanced off the woodwork.

Tottenham took the sting out of United's forward runs and in the end they just about deserved their victory.

It was a sad day, at least for the United faithful,i for one,left my jacket that has my house keys and train tickets on the train.and haven't found it yet..so am still in Manchester ...in bed and no particular rush to go back home.the only consoling thing now is that,This is only the third time in Premier League history that Man Utd have lost two of their opening six games in a season. On the other two occasions (2002-03 and 1992-93), they ended up winning the league.oh how the United fans will be hoping for history to repeat its self....

In more words to come...Sabi Boi..
