Manchester United and Spurs in Carling Cup quarter final action
December 1, 2009
The Carling Cup has reached the quarter final stages with two matches tonight and the remaining two taking place on Wednesday. The match will get the most attention tonight is between Manchester United and Spurs which takes place at Old Trafford tonight from 8.00.
Tonight will give Alex Ferguson a chance to field some of his younger players and give others like Gary Neville a well earned rest he is also expecting to replace Tomasz Kuszcza with Ben Foster. The odds point heavily to a United win tonight as historically United not last the 20 fixtures against Spur, winning 15 of them, in all competitions they have met 170 times with United winning 79 opposed to Spurs 46 games with 45 being drawn.
Spurs were beaten in last years final on penalties by United and will be hoping to get some payback in this fixture but they have not managed to win at Old Trafford in just 20 years and United have not been beating in the Carling Cup since 2007 when they were destroyed by an amazing performance from Championship side Coventry City.

Newcastle v Spurs Betting Offer
September 24, 2008
Two Premiership clubs both suffering from something of an early season crisis meet at St James’ Park on Wednesday night in the Carling Cup third round clash between Newcastle and Spurs, which is live on Sky Sports. Newcastle and Spurs have had nothing short of disasterous starts to the Premier League season, with both clubs occupying the bottom two places in the league table with only one win in ten games between them. Spurs are probably the bigger surprise to be languishing at the foot of the table given several big summer signings they made, which result them being the bookmakers favourites to finish highest in the betting without the big four, with many pundits even tipping them to finish in a Champions League place. However, things haven’t gone quite according to plan for Juande Ramos and there is already talk of him leaving the club less than twelve months in to his tenure. In contrast, it is off the field activities that have impacted on Newcastle’s on field performances. Current owner, Mike Ashley, has alredy made it clear that he intends to sell the club and former boss, Kevin Keegan left following his concerns over the club’s transfer policy. As a result, the Newcastle fans have undertaken fierce demonstration against the current state of affairs.
Both clubs will be looking upon Wednesday’s Carling Cup tie as an opportunity to get back to winning ways with Spurs the favourites to do just that at odds of 6/4 to win the match with bookmaker Paddypower. Newcastle are 13/8 and the draw is 12/5. Spurs should be the more likely winners given their players should be good enough to capitalise on Newcastle’s current plight, which shows no sign of ending soon.
If you are planning to have a bet on this game, Paddypower are offering a ‘tongue in cheek’ special offer “can’t win, won’t win” where they will be refunding any first or last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets is either side leads at half time but fails to win in 90 minutes
