Pinch Me. I'm Dreaming

I was jumping up and down on Saturday night after the final whistle blew at Old Trafford. I only realised that Andre Villa-Boas was doing the same dance I was after watching the replay.

Tottenham Hotspurs beat Manchester United 2-3 for the first time in 23 years at Old Trafford. Their first away win against Man United since 1989 in the English Premier League. AVB was visibly in heaven!

Spurs dominated the first half taking the lead just after a mere 2 minutes into the game from a strike from Vertonghen. The second goal was by Gareth Bale after a blistering run from ten meters inside Spurs half. Rio Ferdinand didn't have the pace or the "silks" to catch him.

The second half saw United having more possesion of the ball but I guess Ferguson's shoe and hairdryer talk in the change room didn't work because the final score saw Manchester United losing at home and a very ecstactic Tottenham Hotspurs team leaving Old Trafford winners!

The Red Devils in Durban

Fans of Manchester United Football Club will be treated to a double dose of their soccer heroes in Durban this week. There will be an open practice session where the public can view the players getting ready for their match against local team Amazulu F.C. the next day, 18 July 2012 at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.

Some of the players that will be coming down with the 19 times English Premier League Champions are Valencia(wearing the prestigious number 7), Anderson, Carrick, Powell, Kagawa, Scholes, Bebe, Petrucci, Berbatov, Chicharito, Macheda, Lindergaard, Amos, Johnstone, Ferdinand, Veseli, Vermijl, Wooton and Blackett.

Other players like Ryan Giggs and the da Silva twins, Fabio and Rafael, and Cleverly are on Olympic Games duty while Wayne Rooney is on an extended break. This will also be an opportunity to see Manchester United in their 2012-13 kit. Fans will be anxious to see their favourite EPL players score on Wednesday but hopefully Amazulu will put up a brave effort and give them a run for their money. Are you a football fan and which team do you support?
