What a glorious morning it it to be a Spurs fan - even more so if you were lucky enough to share an office with one or more Goons. Unfortunately for me I got made redundant last week and worked with 3 of them - still, what better reason to get on a train and pay them a visit this afternoon?
I, like you, have waited a very long time for this moment and it has finally arrived - with bells on! We didn't just beat the Arse, we battered them, we routed them, we opened a can of whoop-ass and tanned their tender hides with it! Five glorious goals to one, man that feels good. Better yet is that they were so pissed off that they even started fighting each other - how wonderful!!!
If the last 2 paragraphs ring true for you then you will no doubt have heard the following words this morning: "Yes, but you only beat our reserves". What a laughable sentiment! Now I am not a follower of Arsenal, so I don't know who plays every week, but I was quite sure that Hleb, Adebaeyor, Fabregas and Gallas were all senior players. Denilson and Diaby are big talents only a season or so away from the first team and Walcott is a £12m World Cup verteran (ok, maybe I'm pushing it with that one!).
You may also have heard that "It's only a tin-pot trophy, who cares?". Well believe me, they care. When you get to ANY semi-final you have to take it seriously, and their team selection should tell you they did. There is the possibility that Arsenal will finish the season with no silverware - do you think they'd have taken the League Cup if that turns out to be the case?
The last defence of the scoundrel may be "Well it took you 9 years" and yes, they may have a point here. But for much of that time Tottenham were fielding dross and Arsenal were in their pomp with Henry dazzling the world. The 2 games in the league this season were hardly one sided affairs and my response would be... 5 - 1, yes 5 - 1, suck on that!
So come on you Gooners, I deliberately put the word Arsenal in the title to reel you in, you must be smarting today!
