Morning my dears. Nothing shy of a sensational evening. I can hardly express how happy it makes me watching us play like that.
Upstairs for thinking, downstairs for dancing. Our mindset was spot on. Our shape and concentration was immense. we kept possession and mopped up the losses of the same. We moved the ball like Champions. This was one one of those rare, rare games that will bench-mark Spurs performances for a generation
The Milanese rain turned out to be holy water absolving Gomes of all previous sins. He made two extraordinary saves and looked every bit a world class goalie.
Make no mistake this composed Tottenham side beat a formidable European giant in their own back yard and in manner that you would have barely known we were the away side. Look, even naffin’ Ray Wilkins was cooing.
Here’s some player ratings.
Gomes – 9.13 – A pair of breathtaking saves.
Charlie – 8 – Flamini wants arresting for that tackle.
Gallas – 8.96 – Champions League class.
Woody – 8 – Sent a bit of shiver down the spine to see him again.
Sir Les – 9 – No hoofs, no wild headers – looked confident.
A&E – 7.99 – Sound as a pound, thank the Lord.
Azza Blud – 9. 24– The wing heeled winger worked very hard.
Sandra – 9.25 – His best game in the shirt yet – a mature, elegant game.
Sarge – 9.24 – Robust and unrelenting.
Peanut – 8.99 – His best game in the shirt yet n’all.
Modders – 8 – Can’t believe his stitches held.
Krankie – 8 – Cool calm and Croation. Some bench we have, eh?
VdV – 9.27 – I’m scared how we’d be without him – he was pivotal.
3MP – 9.26 – When he actually gets to play football, he’s a devil.
What a wonderful night….waited fifty years for that sight!
Maybe the Redknapp-cynics will lay off him for a few weeks now!
Cracking tweet from the esteemed Times Columnist and Spurs season ticket holder David Aaronovitch below. Call to Prayer?
Arabic is such a beautiful and expressive language – http://bit.ly/fRaic8
No, can’t get bored watching that!
“mes braves, parce qu’il y a milles sur milles de nous” because there are thousands upon thousands of us brave Spurs supporters, like me who started in ’46.
And we we have Baler and the Huddto add to the brew… PHEW!!!

Thanks for that comment OneDaveMackay,
I was at that match at Wembley, and it is true, for those of us that know. He is a bindipper through and through. Never a Yid. Good to know that the True fans have memories.
Great Performance over the Dago’s though,
COYS.
Superb ! Special mentions for Gomes and Sandro – theyve taken some flak but no one could say they didnt put a shift in last night
(btw – Gatusso – what a cunt)
This is an interesting clip of the cad Flamini’s horror show. It’s young Redknapp discussing it with ‘Dad’ after the game… I like the way the Yiddo in young Jamie rightly gets uppity about Flamini’s carry-on after the tackle… You can almost hear him wanting to get on the pitch and give it a little afters.
