It ain't over till the fat lady sings!
What a match! For those of you who missed the Carling Cup final between Manutd & Spurs, well, SCREW YOU. I had to follow the match via live text and believe you me, it was effing awesome.
In his pre-match press conference, Fergie said he was already preparing for the Newcastle match on Wednesday. Arrogant, cocky, over confident? Hell no!
2 words - MIND GAMES
Fergie got it right again. He undermined the competition and played it down in his priorities. Deep down inside, he knew that it would be downright retarded to let go of a possible quadruple.
The match was tough on Spurs after a game in which both sides were equally matched, denying them a repeat of last year's triumph - but it is a real glory day for United keeper Ben Foster, who will have impressed watching England coach Fabio Capello. United have the Carling Cup in the bag - and can now turn their attentions to the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League after an almost perfect weekend.
Manchester United's win opens up another spot in the Uefa Cup for a Premier League side. Losing Carling Cup finalists don't qualify - which will please Harry Redknapp, who isn't such a fan anyway. Good news for the likes of Everton and Arsenal.
Elsewhere, in the Premier League, Liverpool, Arsenal & Villa all dropped points. After all, nobody expected the Liverpudlians to pose any threat to United. Arsenal, well the less said the better. Villa were undone by 2 late goals from Stoke and Chelsea scraped a 2-1 win.
It is United's title to lose now and the rest of the season is poised to be a thriller!
