GLORY GLORY TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR!!!!!

Now I'm no Nostradamus, but I predict that you struggled through your hangover and have gone to work today grinning from ear to ear! What a brilliant day Sunday 24th of February turned out to be. My nerves have been shot to pieces, much like Zokora I couldn't bear to watch the penalty, and I never thought it possible to a "lucky piss" 4 times in 10 minutes - but lucky they were God damn it, lucky they were! Even the pub landlord got carried away and promptly dished up free sambuka to the entire pub!

Nobody expected Spurs to win but on the day they were magnificent. We dominated Chelsea's expensive collection of egos for much of the game and played some terrific football. You know that against Chelsea you are going to need your back line to be solid and the partnership of King and Woodgate delivered everything it promised to on paper. King proves time and time again that even if we only get one game a month out of him he'd be worth his salary. Was it me or did anyone else notice that he was limping slightly as he went to collect the trophy? Ah well, looks like he recovered in time for a tear up at infamous Essex nightspot Faces later that night! Get in there Ledders!

A winners medal meant more to Robbie Keane than most. His emotional outburst at the final whistle even brought a lump to my throat. That man is Tottenham through and through. He picked up what looked like a slight hamstring strain toward the end and had to come off, he looked disappointed but I'm sure the winners medal made up for it.

The only sore point in an otherwise perfect afternoon was the way Chimbonda managed to let himself down again. He clearly couldn't believe it when his number flashed up on the subs board and after staring at it in disbelief for a moment, proceeded to trudge off at a snails pace and head straight down the tunnel. I can understand the disappointment of being subbed in a cup final, but when you consider that we were still 1-0 down at the time then that kind of behaviour becomes more than just disrespectful. I hope he gets a bollocking and I suspect that he won't be wearing the shirt next season, which in my mind is no great loss.

In addition to bragging rights, silverware and a guaranteed European jaunt next year the Tottenham boys have also managed to relive themselves of a huge amount of pressure for the rest of the season. Our finishing league position is now largely irrelevant and we can go out and start to enjoy our football a bit more without worrying about the results of those above us.

So there we have it, Ramos is the messiah after all. Martin Who? Levy must be chuckling away to himself harder than most this morning! Ramos has installed a winning mentality in the team incredibly quickly and has proven himself yet again to be a cup specialist. Him and Tottenham look a match made in heaven. Hopefully the players can push on and shoot for a historic cup double this season, and on yesterday's performance I don't see why not. This winning feeling is long overdue, to go on and experience it twice in the same season would put us all firmly in a Wonderland that seemed beyond our wildest dreams only 6 months ago...
