Boca Juniors had a disappointing debut in this Apertura Championship, being held to a scoreless draw by Olimpo last weekend. Julio Falcioni is already under pressure, especially with a possible presidential election looming, and would love a victory over Union on Monday (8:15 p.

Every club makes mistakes, some large ones too such as Juan Sebastian Veron, Andriy Shevchenko, and Jose Antonio Reyes just to name a few. As Spurs fans we've also seen some large transfers go wrong over the years. Names that spring to mind are Sergei Rebrov (£10m), Dean Richards (£8m) and more recently David Bentley (£15m).

Retrospective is a nostalgic series set up to celebrate Manchester United's great past but with a twist; looking at the smaller things that cumulatively add (or negate) to the club's illustrious history. Gradually, over the coming weeks and months, these pieces will appear on the blog – but we cannot do it without you.

The Copa Libertadores -- without global marketing and SuperBowl-like build-up -- has remained one of the more prestigious competitions in the world. Its passion, purity and pressure is what drives all South American-based players to step it up a notch in the intense challenges that the Copa offers.

It's only been four weeks of group-stage competition of the Copa Libertadores, but the tournament has already provided some epic matches and surprising results, as Colombia's Atletico Junior remains perfect after three matches in its group, while Mexico's Jaguares and Venezuela's Caracas are the shock leaders in their respective tables.

Sir Bobby Charlton is deservedly a national hero. It is easy to forget how major a star he was in his day, and difficult to fathom just how huge he would be if playing nowadays.

But Sir Bobby Charlton is also the official flag-waver-in-chief for Manchester United and, not for the first time, his interpretation of the facts is completely delusional.

Liverpool have officially announced an agreement with Andy Carrol for £35m (€41m) plus bonuses. Deep breath.

To put this in perspective, he's now the 18th most expensive outlay in the history of football, just between Ballon d'Or winner Pavel Nedved and World Cup winner David Villa. That's a good place for Carroll's 14 top-flight goals, solitary international cap and the big bread winner, his English birth certificate.

Fourth placed Tottenham host league leaders Manchester United at White Lane today hoping to derail United's title charge. The two sides have served some true thrillers in the past, most notably in September, 2001 when the Red Devils came from three goals down to win 5-3 at White Hart Lane.

5/19/2001.

That was the last time that Tottenham were able to experience the joys of victory against Manchester United. For what it's worth though, Spurs' 3-1 win at White Hart Lane on the final day of the 2000/01 season was all but a meaningless match for United, who finished the campaign ten points clear of Arsenal to capture a third straight Premier League title.
