Qatari gold may be on the horizon for Fergie
All I can tell you is that we might be hearing more on this, concretely, in about two weeksâ time. But for now, let us stick to the other main event on Sunday, namely the Spurs match. âHigh octane rather than high quality,â opined one hack, and itâs hard to quibble with that.
Not for the first time, I foundmyself lusting (platonically) after Modric, much as I used to do after Berbatov when he was at the Lane, and he was apparently top ofour target list a year ago: sadly, I think that shipâs sailed now. Spurs did only manage two shots on target, mind, so one might suggest Modricâs post-match boast that âwe are as good as Unitedâ to be a tad premature. After all, the supposed best attacking side in England has failed to score against us in three hours of football this season, so I daresay the trophy will be free of white ânâ black ribbons for a while yet.
