But those Jonjo Shelvey to Andy Carroll deliveries tho...

aaah, there's the panic signing. Brilliant.

Former Paris St-Germain striker Edinson Cavani is due to fly into England on Sunday to join Manchester United.

The Uruguay international, 33, has been in talks with United and although there is no deal yet, it is growing increasingly likely Cavani will join on what could be a two-year contract.

big name, 33 years old, way past his prime, injury prone, big wages and agent fees. What could go wrong?

Hasnt Cavani basically fallen off the face of the Earth for the past 3-4 years?

If they were going to do this they may as well have just brought Zlatan back.

[devo22]

yeah he has, he's way past it. Also struggled with injuries.

it's a desperate panic move if there ever was one. I'm half convinced Ed Woodward is just a diehard Pool fan taking the piss.

[Locke]

Is Mourinho doing his old United friends a solid with this Starting XI?

[Slava]

I think Spurs should have enough to win this today. It’s tough because it’s the fourth game in a week, and I do wonder if Son is 100%, but I think it’s a decent lineup.

Of course Fernandes will dive alone over and we need at least two goals to overcome that. I feel like if we’re ahead by one when the final whistle goes though, we probably come away with a draw at least!

[Locke]

Yeah, when you're playing against United you gotta watch that final whistle.

I dont know....Mou seems pretty chummy with the United staff prior to the opening whistle...

[Slava]

Stunning.

[Locke]

Ahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Man U get a penalty? Of course. And then a fire drill in their own box....well done Maguire. That was inspiring stuff.

[Slava]

Lol. I can only assume they felt bad about that and decided to let us even up.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Maguire is basically the English Otamendi. What an insane start to the game.

[SuperMatt18]

Well this is a cracker of a game

[Senator Clay Davis]

Also when did he become Harry De Bruyne? Dishing out assists like candy right now.

[d_phaneuf]

Ornstein says telles to united is done 18m

[d_phaneuf]

Ndombele losing 15 pounds over the break, becoming Jose's favorite player because he fought for his place

Now looks like a bargain

[Locke]

Bailly is having himself a game right now. 3 critical blocks in a row.

Did Lamela just sucker Martial into a sending off? I've lost the commentators.

[SuperMatt18]

I’m a Spurs fan and even I think that’s a bit harsh on Martial and horrible play acting by Lamela

[Slava]

This has turned out to be rather delightful!

[d_phaneuf]

Ndombele kane and son are just flying
