United have a terrific record against Spurs and look good value at 2.5 with Betfred and Paddy Power to bag a vital three points at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
The home side have won none of their last 21 Premier League games against the Red devils (D5 L16) and have also failed to find the back of the net in 13 of their last 20 meetings in the league.
Harry Redknapp’s men also come into the game on the back of a 5-2 thrashing by Arsenal after falling apart having been 2-0 up.
That makes United look a solid punt at the odds on offer, especially as Wayne Rooney is fit and ready for action after recovering from a throat infection that ruled him out of the last two games and England’s friendly against Holland in midweek.
Wazza, who made his PL debut against Spurs, has netted scored six goals in his last seven outings against them.
He is a 6 chance with Boylesports and Paddy Power to score first, and available at 2.6 with Paddy Power to net anytime in the 90 minutes.
Both look value, but the latter makes most appeal from a punting perspective.
Another player with a great scoring record against the Lilywhites is the evergreen Ryan Giggs who came to the rescue last weekend with his last gasp winner against Norwich.
Giggsy has scored more goals against Spurs than versus any other side (10) in his illustrious career and that makes the 17 available with bet365 and Paddy Power in the first goalscorer market look worthy of a small wager.
Whoever scores, United really should prove too strong for their opponents.
They have the best away record in the top flight – having only tasted defeat once all season at the hands of Newcastle – and have now won five of their last six games which included wins over Arsenal and Liverpool.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s side are beginning to string results together in an ominous fashion, and I expect them to register a comfortable victory.
For those that like to play in the correct score market, I like the look of 3-1 at odds of 21 with Betfred.
Man Utd News 24/7
c’mon boys!
MASSIVE GAME sunday. Have to b awake for the entire 90. But having Rooney and Valencia back is a MASSIVE BOOST for us. His versatility opens up space for the others and Valencia is just Valencia… an absolute BEAST. and Ashley Young and Nani finally started showing signs of some form at Norwich i expect a good performance from both of them. I say 2-0. COME ONNNN UNITEDDDD.
Valencia is not back btw!
Oh my bad thanks for correcting me. Valencia is not back. Oh well Nani and Young will do well.
Other news….doing the rounds in scouseland
In a statement today Luis Suarez expressed his sadness after hearing one of the Monkees had died.
“Which one was it?” he asked, “Ferdinand or Evra?”
“You know what you are,
you know what you are…
Luis Suarez, you know what you are!”
I cant think anything less than a win at White Hart Lane.No disrespect to spurs but if there injuries are anything to go by,then it follows that they have a depleted squad.The flip side is that Harry might be trying to mimick Sir Alex in mind games which im pretty sure its bound to backfire.
Keep your Money.
Rooney back but Cleverly and Valencia out. Smalling Doubtful.
Just read Bale is out with a hamstring,this game is making me nervous hate all the stats,law of aves sooner or later catch up to everyone.What really bothers me Spurs looked fucking awful against the Arse so i expect a rebound i’ve got the jitters which i normally don’t,i hate that 21-0 stat
Adim mate you pick Rooney to score the first goal or score every week don’t think you need to keep telling us mate we get the point.
Beat those spuds on sunday we will trash shitty for you.
This game for me is very very important. I say that if we manage to win vs Spurs we will go on and lift the number 20.
Let’s hope that our noisy nieghbours are keeping the head of the table warm and cudly for us ! Many wannabees did it before them so why not the Berties.
UNITED 2-0
Bale is fit.
The cunt Tring is at it again Willie mate:
Wow, what a melodramatic declaration by the grand ol’ man. Only if he had slightly better players than Evans the terrible, Welbeck the muddle-head, Park the headless-chicken and Ferdinand the forgot-how-to-defend-freekick…..Of course Spurs are not really that much better. Hype has clearly gone to their head and some players think they are superstars already ( names like Bale, Modric come to mind ). Lack of experience is clearly showing. 2-2 at City with 40 seconds to go and you go gung-ho for a winner? A draw with the leaders would be a great result but we all know what happened. Same at Arsenal. 2-0 up and you still play cavelier football? By the way, I truly believe ‘Arry is not the right man for England. His total lack of top-level experience is apalling. Where was he during the 2 games just mentioned? You can’t go much further relying on luck and fluke.

On sunday is when we our defense will be tested the hardest they have been tested this season. There will be periods in the game where spurs will be on the charge. Our defense will be pushed to the limit and sunday is when I will fully know the extents to which our defense can go. I expect the boys to hold out and hopefully they do not prove me wrong.
Is it me or does anyone else think that SAF was playing mind games with regards to news about Valencia? I won’t be surprised if Valencia makes it to the bench against Spurs.
King Eric – Hello mate. There’s no way that Tring fella is a United fan? He keeps mentioning the same players in every post. First class wum!

i’m actually on the official facebook page :’) life just keeps on getting better!!
Nani time!
Willie – Hello mate. Is he fuck. He is a prick that needs a hiding. Is it just me that isnt worried about Spurs? Not being arrogant but they just don’t concern me. Norwich away did for me. We tend to turn up for the big games at this time of the season. Rooney will drop back into midfield as usual and beetroot cunt will play a two man midfield and get over run again.
Kings texted this morning . Allegedly the Sun have done a back page Happy Birthday message to Sir Harry of Beetroot,. Fucking arse licking cunts. The same paper that doesn’t even have the respect to call Fergie “Sir ” Alex. Cunts.
utd4life – Hello pal . No it isnt just you, I have also a feeling Valencia may make the bench. Don’t wanna jinx it but Bale doesn’t bother me. When has he ever turned up for big games?
I am betting on Tottenham winning 3-0.
Come on you Spurs!
It’s disappointing if Valencia doesn’t make it for Sunday. Still a chance for Young and Nani to find that early season mojo they had going. At least Rooney’s back. Hope Rafael plays. He’s played Bale as good as anyone in the league.
King Eric. Hi mate. I don’t think an hamstring injury can keep Valencia out for so long. The guy is a beast and as we all know, SAF never reveals anything in his pre match conferences so I believe that Tony V should atleast be on the bench for the Spurs match. I, just like you, was more concerned about Norwich than Spurs since we have a history of turning it on against Spurs.
As for Bale, give the guy space and he will tie you in knots since he is fast but Rafael had him in his back pocket the last time and I expect him to the same this time as well with a bit of help from Park. I hope SAF deploys the midfield combo of Carrick and Jones with Scholes coming on late if needed.
no Parker
I hope that SAF plays Rafael at RB rather than Jones. It irritates the hell out of me when I see Jones at RB. For me, the guy is our future midfield enforcer and he belongs in the midfield. We are under-utilizing him by playing at RB but I guess, circumstances have forced SAF to deploy him at RB.
Three points please lads.get them and we take a huge advantage into the remainder of the season.Go United.
On topic, Rooney returns and Giggs gets the winner. Giggs love to score at the lane! Get in!
Off topic
Oi’ Harry: Bench Stevie Gerrard and put Paul Scholes in as holding midfielder for England Euro2012.
So says Palli, so says all of us! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17212157
Hello RoM. Kick Spurs ass!!!
DDG getting props from the man.

Great story on Pogba by Rob, led to great reading.
TC back for next game.
Cedars –
Chicha played? Damn it, fucking friendlies what is the point? Danny played 90 mins on Wednesday aswell. Hopefully Berba gets some game time, the other 2 young lads maybe still feeling the affects.
Balaji -
It makes no sense mate, thats the joke, but just imagine Ando being half the height (3ft1) twice the weight ( 120kg) & still being twice as good. Hell of a miracle from God-man.
“twice the player, half the height and double the weight”
Jeet – I see you haven’t forgotten about holes
The Madness of Being a Man Utd Fan.

Readers of RoM.
Clint – Campbell subbed Welback at about 80′ … so he should be plenty rested
What was it like before the Glazzer’s when it came to transfers? Did the board get in SAF way. Was Man Utd a player for the top dollar transfers in Europe? Like now if Cavnni is the hottest striker in the summer transfer for 40 to 50 million pounds would the old Man Utd have the $ like Real, $hitty, PSG, and Barca to sign them? Now it seems to be a 30 million pound glass sealing ? I’m fine with SAF and Man Utd way of building championship sides.
I see SAF has long term targets and will pull the trigger on some 8 signings in the next 2 summers.
2-3 young ones, 2-3 mid range players like 15-24 million pounds and 2 25- 35 million pound players.
I hope we continue with our pretty record against spurs,cos at this point the three is very important to united than spurd.
DDG
Rafa Smalling Evans Fabio
Jones Tom C.
World class wingers on both sides.
Rooney
Dan when he is a man.
Just saying I love Man Utd future.
Rooney to find his way to 700 + Man Utd games by retreating deeper and deeper in the MF as he ages.
Will keep my money for beer and over the top celebrations at 3 points come Sunday. As already mentioned Bale should be fit and I hope he starts, Rafa will own him as usual and of course get no credit from the media.
Papii – Yes Hernandez played 75 minutes, pretty silly if you ask me.
Willie – Great to have you back posting mate…. Hope all is good
I think this will be a very tough game. Spurs have a great attack and I expect them to trouble our defenders. Carrick will really need to be on form. I expect Adebayor, Defoe & co to be a real handful.
If we win this game we will do really well, I would not read too much into their result against Arsenal, they generally have a very good defence and a very strong attack with Modric pulling the strings.
So I disagree with Scot, stats are nothing here, this is a new face of Spurs we are seeing with young players of potentially world class calibre and some very good players in and a team that is used to playing together. I worry about our ever changing back four and I would prefer Rafael to Jones at RB as we need his pace and guile, Evans is looking very solid but he can be beaten for pace which is when he usually makes an error and Spurs have pace and physicality.
Danny Welbeck’s 21. He should be full of energy at his age don’t see why 80 mins in an England friendly should effect him in the slightest. He wasn’t injured and would think the experience did him good.
Zibbie
We had a steady stream of transfers before and during the Glazers ownership. All depends if SAF is happy with whats coming through the youth team and what he has in the 1st team squad. Some Fans weren’t happy with the PLC or Martin Edwards so nothing changes there either. And Yes I know we weren’t in debt during these ownerships but fans still weren’t happy. Personally I’m not arsed who owns us so long as we keep winning like we have over the last 21 years.
Zibbie
Rooney lover
Was out shopping most of the day and in one store I ran into this young girl (Must have been 14 or 15) with her dad. She was wearing a United shirt. Now being a nosy and curious fuck I had to find out why. Said hello to her dad and asked her why she was wearing a United shirt and whether or not she supports them
The response was ‘I do not just support them I love them’ ! I was so bloody impressed…. The conversation went on for about ten minutes… Her favorite players are Scholes and Rooney and she predicts a 3 nil win on Sunday….
This young girl really knows about United, I felt so proud!
Watch out Cedars she might challenge you to a drinking competition. Only one out come there, Cedars lay on his back slurring about how he Loves Bryan Robson and the girl still standing.
James
ha ha….. That may not be far from the truth mate!
Evening my little sugar plumbs!! Once again it depends on which United team turns up. We are more than capable of turning these flash pretenders over in their own back yard. Equally, some of the teams that have turned up this season for us have the capability of throwing the points our the window. I for one hope and believe it will be the former and we remain 2 points adrift of the berties going into a decent run of games.
Cedars
Proper red you bumped into! Quality! I was on a course yesterday…. You’d have loved it, I was sat with a leeds fan and a scouser!!!!
Cedars
Coaching the youth for tomorrow in his own small way.
Go Cedars go!
Mike
Not only that, the way she spoke about the club with so much passion was so impressive and her dad knows fuck all about the game so obviously it did not come from him…..
You were sat next to a leeds fan? Never mind the scouser but a LEEDS FAN?? Fuck me, the agony
MG
I can only try with my devilish ways!
My mate, who’s a spurs fan, reckons that spurs are
practically royalty.
“Why?” I asked.
“Well look at some of our players over the years, Kevin PRINCE-Boateng, Ledley KING!” He replied.
“Oh yeah, and that Aaron Lennon..” I added.
“Whats he got to do with it?” He asked.
“Well he’s a right fucking queen, isn’t he?”
Evening Cedars
Some years back in a shop had lads fucking around in there – they all had United shirts on – behaviour was the equivalent of dogs
I went up to them – they got funny with me at first – I had my shirt on but it was under my jacket – as soon as I gave that away they did pay attention – when they gave me an opportunity to speak I told them that if they could not stand up for the shirt and do good things they should just give them away to less well off kids who might actually care.
It wasn’t easy and as they say no idea how they turned out ot be – but for that moment they managed to listen and be at least for that moment apologetic for their actions.
I guess the shirt does speak volumes – and everyone should know it – when you have it on it’s a privilege and a reminder that what we follow is something that cannot be compared with.
19
I think the last time we lost at Spurs was in 2001? Costas? Good record there and hopefully it will continue on Sunday
MG
Evening my good friend, well done mate and as you say the shirt is a symbol of what now?
Cedars
Idolizing RVP in it?
People already writing Bolton off, well we may not expect much but shitty’s perfect home record is bound to come on an end at some stage…….
MG
Why oh why do you have to mention him? Gets me drooling! ha ha
Cedars
Love your optimism but Bolton will put up as much of a fight as Blackburn did at that shit hole!
Cedars
I know your kryptonite mate – I promise to keep it a secret.
Shhhhhhh!
Mike
Same here mate, I only said their home record is bound to have a set back at some stage. Not expecting much from cunt Kevin and co to be honest
If ever we needed Bolton to get back to normal i.e long balls and muscling the fuck out of the apposition with leag breaking TM Bolton fouls, tomorrow is just that kind of a day to be reckoned with
Been reading some posts from other threads about Mureen…… I vow that if this fuck face ever comes near our club then I will….
Swim over to Greece, walk all the way to France then swim to England. I will then walk all the way up to Manchester and smack the fucker in two….
I seriously feel strongly about this, never want that whore anywhere near our club
Cedars
We only dropped 2 at home last season and that was because VDS dropped a bollock! But it was West Brom so hope springs eternal that fate will deal a similar blow at their shit hole!
Mike
It might be written in the heavens….. Up to us to go there and win the league?
I fucking hate Blackburn !!!
Mike
I wish nothing less for them chicken nuggets then to be relegated, fucking irritate the life out of me
By the way where the fuck is everyone? King Eric has a point about the blog
just for Cedars….
Jose Mourinho went to the Doctors one day.
Jose: “Doctor Doctor, Please help me. Everytime I look in the mirror I get aroused. Why?”
Doctor: “Well Jose, simple really…..your a cunt”
Thanks James.
Cedars, Man Utd kits are every where. I have seen them in rule Iowa. The worlds most popular sporting club, is not just a slogan. 8 years ago 5 explores in the depths of the Amazon thought they found a lost tribe until they saw a kid with a Man Utd kit.
Cedars
Think it’s a funny time, people very busy. I’ve hardly been on lately cos I’ve had so much shit on I haven’t had time to fart. Mourinho, the special cunt!!
Tony that explains why Terry has no mirrors in his house.
TonyBee
Cracked me up as ever mate! Fuck him
My Dick
Great story my friend and would not surprise me if it was true!
I’m Looney for Wayne Rooney!!!!
Man Utd is so fucking awesome.
The PL in say 10 to 15 years will be the 3rd most watched pro sport in the USA.
Mike
I know mate, I just miss the quick fire banter here
Zibbie
3rd? After what? That freak alien sport with masks and shoulder pads or that bat to ball game that my 3 year old can play?
No offense, just taking the piss
Krasic for Pogba?
Another dubious contribution from our amigos over at TalkKrap.
Krasic will know he is well and truely past it if he becomes the makeweight for a lad who has never played a single league game.
Another worthless post from TalksSprackle then?

Cedars
They’ll be all over here like a rash if Utd loose on Sunday. Evans shit, Welbeck and Young not good enough, Carrick is average, DDG isn’t for Utd, Rooney should be sold and SAF has lost it.
I think we should get Del Piero
If thats true then this Pogba must be looking good. I haven’t seen alot of him and can’t really comment although when I have seen him he hasn’t really done much to inspire. Then again you can’t judge a player on a handfull of games so will keep an open mind as always.
Del Piero.
Maybe about 10 years too late.
I think we should buy the man from Del Monte!
He’d say Yeeeeeeehhhhhhh.
How about Pele? Looks a handful he does
Well anyway lets get warmed up.
Each and every one of us Loves Alex Ferguson, Loves Alex Ferguson, Loves Alex Ferguson.
And Each and every one of us Loves Alex Ferguson. Loves Alex Ferguson.
