Carling cup Final- Match up

Its that time o the year where the cup competitions of all the major leagues in the world draw to a conclusion. Its the same in Britain, after all the rounds of action it has come down to this a match between the Last Year's Premiership Champions Manchester United and the CARLING cup holders Tottenham Hotspur.

Both clubs have had their hick ups in the cup, Manu beaten by Derby 1-0 in the first leg of the semifinal and then clinching the home leg 3-1 on Wednesday(21,Jan) and Tottenham had their own problems going to the brink of elimination in the group stages and even yesterday(22,JAN) in the match against Barnley (the GIANT killers of this season's carling cup). They some how managed to survive the scare and made it to Wembley. They narrowly escaped exit, after two late goals from Pavylechenko and Defoe in the 3-2 defeat to Burnely on Wednesday.

Now the stage is set and date is March 1,2009 for a mouth watering clash between two of the most entertaining teams of the premiership. But before that they are set to meet this weekend in the F.A. Cup fourth round and also in the premiership sometime soon.
Until then stay tuned.
