Not only does Manchester United have to win their upcoming weekend English Premiership game against Tottenham Hotspur, they have now decided that they should up the ante by playing mind games or dirty tricks on their main rivals.
After successfully preventing Liverpool from getting their Argentinian international target Gabriel Heinze, Manchester United have now resorted to reporting on their English Premiership rival, for apparent claims of 'tapping up' on their ex-player. No doubt Alex Ferguson would be the instigator as he tries to deflect attention away from his early season woes by irritating the heck out of his counterpart at Liverpool, Benitez.
The sad truth is that any club could be guilty of tapping other players. Alex Ferguson did it himself with a few of his previous transfer acquisitions (most notably the best running horse impersonation there ever was from a Dutch international - fortunately he scored the goals to cover that up), so all this now smacks of hypocrisy.
An even sadder truth is that hypocrisy is now one of the main bywords in soccer everywhere.

The mind games and dirty tricks did not work to keep Gabriel Heinze. I like Manchester United, now even more with the arrival of Carlitos Tevez. Yet, for the EPL I cheer for CHELSEA... obvious reasons, our Milan guy SHEVA is there! Besides, I met Mourinho, Drogba, John Terry, Lampard, Peter Czech... the whole team and they were very nice... so, there you go a one-on-one team-fan relation.
