This is what managing a football team is about. Belief. Belief based upon understanding and valuing the assets on the books and endlessly instilling inspirational doses of that belief into the players.
We have been so widely acclaimed for the way we’ve played this season that many (I actually mean most of us) have had to invoke the old Derek Jameson line, ‘Do they mean us?!’
The quality, imagination and spirit of the Tottingham play has been frequently sensational. The boy Bale can leave any right back in the world needing psychiatric care. Azza is a wing heeled electric dynamo. Modric actually ups his game when they come at him in number.
Adebayor is one truly sophisticated predator. Sure if it bleeds you can kill it. But first you must make it bleed.
Rafa is one of the most intelligent, gifted and driven players in the Barclays Premier League. Scotty Parker the very embodiment of too many Tottenham ideals to even begin to list.
When the Lilywhites beat Cheatski and won the Carling Cup in 2008 they were actually playing a superior side with weaker assets. What won that day was desire and dare I say it, some deering do.
The mercenaries have now taken over the asylum at Second Hand Fridge and again it’s time for our lot again to demonstrate their inherent class.
They aren’t medal winners these days. They still chant Jose’s name into the cold night air …as a requiem.
The fact that their mob couldn’t beat us home or away this season is the yardstick. We will edge it. I’ll be delighted to watch us do just that.
BIOYCC!
We could play Benny at centre half and Rose at CB if need be
Yep… or Modric… or VDV…
Drogba, Torres and Sturridge must be brickin’ it…
Gallas and The Zealander, both 100% players. Both play well in big games for different reasons.
Team will be..
The guy that is my age, kylie, g and nz, fro. Azza parker, nice wife, mod and im realising my boots are to big bale. And money man up front.
We will win.
Forget the team. Unsung hero to strike, just like the Middlesboro boy did last time. 2.1 COYS
Its who wants it most..We should be able to Smash Chelski now days..We are a better team..They are fading fast..And its about time we kicked off there descend..Come on Tottenham you can do it…Lets Smash them..And Wembley would no finer place…COYS…Sing Your Hearts Out Boys…4-1 is on my mind!!! COYS AGAIN…..

We’ve got to use the full width of Wembley and our best attributes, i.e Lennon and Bales pace. Using Sandro and Parker to shadow and snuff out their midfield should allow Modric to play central and do the damage. That of course leaves no room for VDV unless he plays just behind Ade, where he’s at his most potent, if not there, then bench him
and if he does play there, then we’ve play with 12 players? ;)
Errrm, “we’ve play” of course being the modern way of saying “we’re playing”…
Either way, bench him as it wouldn’t matter anyway, too bloody slow to play with the Whizz Kids ;-)
Hate to burst anyones bubble but….
wembley pitch = 105mx68m
WHL = 100m x 67m
stamford bridge = 103m x 67m
Gives Bale and Azza about 18″ more each to run down,
Pitch dimensions are prob more favorable to Chelsea than us. :-(
