The English Premier League is full of flaws, just like anything else on this earth.

But if the teams had their own version of computer viruses, it would look something like this.

MANCHESTER UNITED VIRUSES:

Taken from http://www.comeonspurs.com/football_funnies/180003.php :

The Manchester United virus – This is where the computer develops a memory disorder and forgets about every thing before 1993.

The Manchester United shirt virus – Designed to drain your bank account, this one is especially hard to detect as it changes its format every three months.

The David Beckham virus – This affects newer computers mainly. The computer looks great, all the lights are on, but nothing works.

The Roy Keane virus – Throws you out of Windows.

The Alex Ferguson virus – The computer develops a continuous whining noise. The on screen clock runs a lot slower than all the other computers in the building.

The Solskjaer virus – Will take numerous attempts to get into the net, often failing completely.

The Ryan Giggs virus – The computer develops a processor problem whereby it thinks it’s better than it actually is. It also experiences dramatic fluctuations in performance.

The Fabien Barthez virus – You just can’t save anything.

Laurent Blanc virus – Makes your Computer go really slow and creates big holes in your Hard-Drive!

The Phil Neville virus – The worst of all, ruins all memory of basic functions and programmes, randomly delivering data to the wrong goal. Also weakens all communications within the network.

Dressing Room virus – Appears when the system fails. Reboot may be dangerous.

Drawing on inspiration from this great joke, I created viruses of some other teams.
Please note that I am joking the entire way through. To corroborate this claim, I have made up an array of Spurs viruses – And there are a lot of them that remain undiscovered xD.

A few more United Viruses:

Nani Virus – Frequently causes your system to go down without anything touching it.

Old Trafford Referee Virus – An erratic virus which performs the illegal operation of sending false data in the form of sending a goal where there should be a free kick or deleting the goalline from United’s net folder. Usually caused by the system having more than 70,000 cockney voice clips stored on it.

Stoppage Time Virus – A virus which generally delays shut-down by however long it takes for one more United goal to be stored on the system, usually two extra minutes. See the picture above for a better insight. Fergie’s system has had this virus for 20 years!

CHELSEA VIRUSES:

Drogba Virus – See Nani Virus.

Cole Virus – Known to cause disturbance by rejecting floppy discs and only accepting hard USB sticks in his slot.

Sugar Daddy Virus v1.0 - Overloads the system with funds in the form of continuous numbers. However, downloading of ‘silverware’ files is still possible.

Kakuta Transfer Virus – Corrupted file. Interferes with the Mother-board.

LIVERPOOL VIRUSES:

Rafa Virus – Creates a ‘FACT’ shortcut, but leads to failure of the system.

Accent Virus - Infects the soundcard and speakers in Liverpudlian accent terms. The pronunciations of ‘c’ or ‘k’ begins to sound like ‘h’. So ‘Like’ becomes ‘Lihe’ for example.

Stevie G. Virus – Corrupts your music library so that it only plays certain songs off Steven Gerrard’s own playlist. Clicking any track it disapproves of can result in total system shutdown, and a cracked screen/skull resulting from him punching it.

ARSENAL VIRUSES:

Wenger Virus v1.0 – Overloads the system non-stop with new foreign software, particularly from French and French-African territory servers.

Wenger Virus v2.0 – Even worse when combined with the Thierry Henry installation upgrade, this virus roughs up the fan causing the computer system to emit a loud, irritating whirring sound which indicates that a response is loading (sounds a bit like – UUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…!).

Walcott Virus - Tries to emulate the Lennon program. Only the Lennon program is officially approved by Capello Systems International.

Gallas Virus - Computer leaks tears from two obscure locations at either side when Arsenal draw at home.

Silverware Virus – The ‘Emirates Stadium Trophies 06-10′ folder is still empty.

MANCHESTER CITY VIRUSES:

Directors Virus v1.0 - Deletes the ‘Mark Hughes’ file and replaces it with the ‘Roberto Mancini’ file which can be considered as a pointless downgrade.

Directors Virus v2.0 - This virus hacks the ‘Champions League’ folder where the funds and the ‘Roberto Mancini’ file are present and deletes it from the drive.

Sugar Daddy Virus v2.0 – Just like v1.0 but prevents silverware downloads.

SPURS VIRUSES:

Info generously provided by Tottenham’s own software – Naughton Anti-Virus ;)

King Virus v1.0 - A Trojan-like virus. Brilliant at protection. A firewall in front of the net but really a liability in disguise ;) Usually followed up by the Woodgate Virus where your computer just won’t run at all.

King Virus v2.0 – Drinking habits infect the entire system, slowing it down, sometimes until it becomes completely unresponsive on match days.

Lennon Virus - Makes the system overheat, but has been quarantined on occasion when encountering an advanced firewall defence.

Keane Virus - Starts off as a great program on the Spurs computer, but after being installed on the Liverpool FC brand of computer under the RAFA system, comes back corrupted when reinstalled on the Spurs computer under the ‘ARRY system.

Bale Virus - This virus is unique as all it does is help erase the Ryan Giggs Virus from Welsh international computer systems. ;)

Jenas Virus - A shortcut which leads to nowhere and still takes up unnecessary space.

Levy Virus - Scams credit card details for a £70m spree on many players and then system fails immediately after reaching this milestone. It has also been known to spread to United’s system and scam £30m in exchange for the Berbatov SPAM file.
However this only occurs in Windows.

Corluka Virus - Sometimes slows system down and temporarily switches off, allowing attack from external sources.

NxtYr Virus - Procrastinating a trophy win until the following season. Attempts to retrieve a silverware file but ultimately fails to.

Given the armband that signals the captain at any club is a top honour and it used to be the same for Spurs. Since Harry come to manage Spurs I think it has turned into something of a joke. I see players being substituted week in week out for Spurs and the captains armband is passed around like a note in a school classroom.

It was bad enough that when Robbie Keane returned to the club that he was given the role of captaincy once again but yesterday really took the biscuit for me. Robbie can’t get a look in usually and it’s obvious Harry Redknapp wants to move him on in January but for some reason Keane got a rare start and for an even stranger reason he was given the captains duty.

I was thinking myself surely there is someone more suited, a few years back I would have had no problem with Keane taking the job but things have changed. A captain needs to be someone who plays reguarly and someone who can give the rest of the team a lift with some inspirtation. Even though he has been there only a short time I think Van der Vaart with all his experience would have been a better role model, Modric would have been my first choice or even Gareth Bale, it doesn’t matter that he is young. Arsenal gave it to Fabregas when he was young and since then he has only improved.

I would rather see Gareth Bale or any other player who we plan to keep at the club a long time give the armband permanently and restore some pride in the duty once again, if you’re young enough you’re good enough. Bale showed this against Inter when he single-handedly tried to lift the team and spare us from a nightmare.

So captaincy, who would you give it to? Huddlestone is another good shout for me, or could even Gomes be another dark horse, I do like to see a keeper with the armband on.

Fair enough we lost to one of the country’s top teams yesterday but watching the performance there was a few reasons why we will still struggle to get an away win against one of the top teams.

Firstly even at 1-0 down the players didn’t ask enough questions of Manchester United, it’s almost like they lacked the self belief that they were good enough to get a point, you could almost see the belief go out of the players the moment Van der Vaart walked off the pitch.

Secondly, we don’t have a settled team this year, apart from our midfield we have different strikers and different defenders playing each game. Yesterday it was Kaboul and Gallas and to my amazement I though Gallas actually had the better game for once. The trouble is we have to settled pairing this season which will always cost you goals, no matter how good the defenders are if they aren’t a settled pair then goals will be shipped in.

The biggest problem and it’s there for all to see, our strikers just are not good enough to threaten the top teams, Pav is the best we have but personally I don’t think Crouch and Keane are good enough anymore. We all said it all summer long that we needed a top striker. I can understand why Harry likes a 4-5-1 with the team he has got but he needs to understand while that is all well and good he needs to have a striker in the Spurs team who can actually play the lone striker role. Defoe is a great striker but I don’t even think he is cut out for a lone role. Yesterday we started with one up top which was Robbie Keane but the end of the game we had Crouch and Pav up front. This needs to be addressed in January, I now believe that Levy and Redknapp can see that they made a big mistake not buying a striker in January.

So at 1-0 we are still in the game and gearing up for a final assault on the United goal I hoped. Enter Mark Clattenburg again, five years on from that goal that never was which robbed us of our first Premiership win over United at Old Trafford and the man in the middle was at the centre of controversy again.

Clattenberg didn't see this one either

The way I saw this went like this, Nani went down in the box (should have been a penalty) but Clattenburg waved away claims of a penalty to which Nani put his hands on the ball to try claim the penalty. Gomes then assumed it would be a freekick to us for the handball because it was so blatant he put the ball down to take a freekick but Nani kicked it in the net and the goal was awarded. The assistant then flagged but Clattenburg was having none of it.

Now maybe Gomes should have waited for the whistle before assuming he would get a freekick, players are always taught to play to whistle so you can argue Gomes should have done just that. However it was a blatant handball by Nani so I can see why Gomes assumed it was a freekick.

I won’t take anything away from Nani though, he had a great game and he was the difference between the two teams, dream team points for me lol. The game was a good contest, especially in the first half but Tottenham never reached top gear, Bale and Lennon didn’t have good games, you can sort of forgive Bale but Lennon has been like this for months now.

You can’t blame Nani for the incident which lead to the second goal, although you do expect the officials to get it right when it’s that obvious.

The Spurs heads seemed to drop after Van der Vaart limped off with a hamstring injury which may mean he might  the Inter Milan clash on Tuesday night.

Look forward to this one being on MOTD tonight

Firstly sorry for the confusion, someone was pulling my plonker by telling me Bale wasn’t playing which made me angry.

The Tottenham team is somewhat as expected, Gomes starts in goal, Hutton keeps his place at right back, Kaboul and Gallas pair up in central defence with BAE on the left. Lennon starts on the right wing with Bale on the left, Modric and Jenas are in the middle with Rafael Van der Vaart just in front and a surprise inclusion up front as Robbie Keane plays the loan striker.
