It is clear to me that Tottenham will never win the Premiership title, as long as Manchester United is in the same league.
Why?
Well, because I think Tottenham is the most obedient of Man. U.'s bitches. 26 matches without beating Ferguson's team... Not even Wigan can top that.
But Wigan is probably (or, I should say, hopefully, for the good of English football) going down this year, while Tottenham keeps filling the numbers in the Premier League.
Not to say that Tottenham doesn't have a pretty good team. They can beat the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and so on. On a good day, they can beat either of Manchester United's opponents, that is.
Actually, they could beat United, too; I'm sure.
But they just don't want to.
Clearly, if ever they had a team good enough to beat the teams above them, including Man. U., it was this year. But what do they care about doing that, and about fairness?
Did you see the defending at the second United goal? (...Not that Rooney's header, in the first half, that opened the scoring, was not the result of really shoddy defending.) When Young scored his first, in minute 60, the Tottenham defenders clearly tried their best to touch the ball as little as possible, even when it came to their feet, and to give the strikers from Manchester as wide a path to put the ball on goal as possible.
Even a person not wearing needed glasses could spot the indifferent approach of Tottenham there.
Additionally, the goal that was cancelled because Adebayor supposedly handled the ball also emphasized the teamwork between Tottenham players and the referee in making sure that United does not leave White Hart Lane without any less than three points... (But maybe I'm wrong and I'll see the Spurs staff complaining about how the referee robbed them... I'm waiting to see such footage on the television news; yes, I am.)
It's very easy to fake playing football, you know, even if you're not a pro.
And when it comes to matches like this one, you don't even have to fake it to scam money from betting companies. There's a lot of money in winning the Premier League. And Manchester United disgustingly, and at any cost, wants to do it every year, I believe.
(Hence, they have these helpers, like Wigan, Bolton, the recent Fulham team, Everton, tottenham... There's a world of difference between how Tottenham represented themselves when they played City away, just a few matchdays ago, and the pathetic manner in which they conducted themselves on the pitch today.)
You know, Ferguson did not have to say that bullshit about how Redknapp's possible naming as the England coach could trouble Tottenham in the match against his team.
Any person with a little bit of brain can see that's an attempt to cover up the fix. (Oh, yeah, Redknapp's future suddenly made every Tottenham player quiver with fear against mighty ferguson 's team!... Yeah, I'll buy that... when pigs fly!)
And it's not like Tottenham did not have a cushy advantage, to be able to lose some of it without major worries. Hell, they're still four points ahead of Arsenal, even though Arsenal won!
And Arsenal and Chelsea very rarely can keep up a sustained effort this season.
That's surely some of the reasoning behind not caring if Manchester United gets these three points. (It's also unthinkable for United to fall four or five points behind Manchester City, at this time in the season, and exactly in a game against their closest lapdog.)
To conclude, though, in order to see some punishment inflicted on this shitty Spurs team, that has not played a decent game against Manchester United in decades, I hope they don't make it in the Champions League next year. That would be a really spectacular turn-around, and a good lesson to see, if only...
As for united, well, hopefully some teams that actually do come to play on the football pitch will stop their challenge, eventually, because the red devils suck this year and don't deserve to win any trophy.
