Yeah, Fulham were some stiff competition too! ;-)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Terrific first half

I don't think Arsenal have played that badly - just Spurs have the vim and mentality to do this tonight

It's as if they have said "enough" and decided to ply without fear

Arsenal do have it in them to pull goals back in the second half - but I think it's Spurs night

[Ladygooner]

Looks like I owe Jah a large drink on Friday night! Torn between watching and turning the TV off! Anyway well done Spurs! There I have said it!

[citizenED]

O-u-c-h, with a capital Ow!

[SeanMacGabhann]

yep, but well deserved from a Spurs perspective

I'll be supporting them in the final - can't say fairer than that can I Jah?

(who am I kidding - Jah won't surface for hours yet I imagine)

[Keef]

Enjoy this Jah!!! >:D

[mockney piers]

I didn't see the game but my eyes nearly plopped out when I saw the scoreline. The entire IT support dep't support Spurs and are floating around at the moment.

[atila the gooner]

Fair play to spurs, but what the feck was Adebayor on last night? It would be nice to see a Spurs Everton final, but I've a feeling Chavski will be the team facing Spurs and I hate to say it but I can see Chavski winning the final.

Nonetheless, well done Spurs.

[Rolo Tomasi]

Well done done spurs

[Keef]

Yes, Adebayor did seem very keen on getting himself sent off towards the end, very odd behaviour. You're probably right about Chelsea, but I hope not, as I could imagine a Spurs Vs blue toffee nosed scum final being a decent match!

[SeanMacGabhann]

"scum"??

I've picked up on Atila for less than that Mr Keef!

[Jah Lush]

Wembley, Wembley! We're the famous Tottenham Hotspur and we're going to Wembley.

Wembley, Wembley! We're the famous Tottenham Hotspur and we're going to Wembley.

Large Jack Daniel's and Coke please LadyGooner.

5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham, 5-1 to the Tottenham!

[Ladygooner]

No problem - on the rocks?

[Jah Lush]

Yes please. You're most gracious Ladygooner.

Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur, glory glory Tottenham Hotspur!

Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur, glory glory Tottenham Hotspur!

as the Spurs go marching on on on.

Just seen a posting by Spadetownboy re the Arse on another thread. I wasn't going to mention it but as he is clearly one of these Manc loving types (who isn't a manc, doesn't live in Manc chester and so on and so on), it was good to see just how wonderful they are as they were beaten by a team in that home of elite football, Saudi Arabia. Reminded me of the time they went swanning off to South America to take part in a nothing tournament, forsaking the FA cup, only have their collective arses kicked. In the first round. Yes they are truly wonderful. :))

[Jah Lush]

Serves 'em right Atila. But to be fair to Spadetownboy he is Irish and in my experience they only support one of three teams. Man Utd, Liverpool or Arsenal.

Huh???

I was referring to Everton "blue toffee nosed scum".

[Ladygooner]

I think Mr Mac is against the use of the term "scum" for any team

[SeanMacGabhann]

zactly - I've spent several posts saying how I hate Arsenal fans using it against Spurs so, you know, I had to!

[Keef]

Well no big surprises last night, Spurs will indeed meet Chelsea... I think they will be more heavily supported than ever before in that final!

In other news, Ferguson actually sticking up for Rafa... well sort of. He's bloody right though! (it pains me so much to say that)

[SeanMacGabhann]

Agreed on both counts Keef

Only thing that mars Fergies argument is the way Man U behave - pulling out of the FA Cup? Or going to Saudi to effectively support state-sponsered apartheid (no women allowed watch the game a few days ago)

You know... if he is going to talk about CLASS

[atila the gooner]

Fergusmoan, unbelievably, is a knight of the realm. Yet he manages to display all the grace and charm of Jack the Ripper. I want to know who was responsible for recommending that this gobshite be made a Knight, they need stringing up.

[TillieTrotter]

A belated congrats Mr Lush. :)-D

[Jah Lush]

Oh! Thanks Tillie...Pity the Lions aren't doing so well but there you go. See you Friday hopefully.

I think Ferguson fully deserves his knighthood in recognition for his achievements in football. You got to admit it really is an amazing record. Only Bob Paisley comes close.

Certainly, playing in Saudi is distasteful and opting out of the FA Cup a few years back weren't such good ideas but I would put that down to the suit and tie Johns at the club wanting to expand the brand.

Still, filled with confidence after Spurs marvellous win against the Arsenal in the week I can't see why we can't go up to Old Trafford on Sunday and beat them on their own turf. We were unlucky there at the beginning of the season losing to a superb goal from Nani, a real bolt from the blue from 30 yards out that Robinson had no chance with.

[atila the gooner]

I wouldn't Fergusmoan the steam off my piss never mind a knight hood. If he achieved all his honours with the same kind of resources that Curbishley had at Charlton then I'd be impressed. As it is I think the man is an out and out James Hunt.
