I am going to call it a tie. Yes, there was a 3 division gap between us and Spurs in that season, but IIRC Spurs had started the season horribly and we were on an unbeaten start, and although they had Gascoigne and Lineker they also had Pat Van Den Hauwe and Terry fukwit in defence.
Although Manchester Untied were only one league above us and didn't play their entire strongest team, the two games are in different generations footballing wise. In 1990 the gulf between top of Div 1 and bottom of Div 2 was nowhere near so vast.
For me they were equally great achievements, though clearly enjoyed the Manchester Untied one more as we actually won the tie.
