Your instincts are still there but theres always that little voice in the back of your head constantly warning you that one burst of acceleration, one bad stick and turn, one quick change of direction and you're done for a few months again.

that must suck, especially when you used to be on the kind of level that Owen was. Knowing that you can either make the run and be on the sidelines for weeks as a result, or don't make the run and be a shadow of your former self ... that must suck. Surely frustrating on your level too, Locke. I luckily never had to deal with that, I don't think I've ever even had the slightest muscle problems in my life. Not in younger years with three trainings and a game per week, and not in my later beer league years either.

tonight's game is obviously a lot bigger for United, there can't be a question about it. With all the tension behind the scenes, last week's result and Mourinho being close to meltdown, a loss would be horrific on a number of levels. A loss at OT would not derail Tottenhams season in the slightest, but it'd mean chaos for United.
