YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!



Runs round the room like a maniac! It's been 16 years but my boys finally managed to beat Chelsea today 2-1. I'm ecstatic, I only wish I'd been there.

I wouldn't normally blog about a match I didn't go and see, but this one is special and I'd booked my seat in front of the telly.

Although the visitors took the lead after a pretty decent Makelele goal, Spurs came back into it and equalised after a glancing backward
header from Michael Dawson, quite unbelievably his first for the club. Chelsea had a goal disallowed but I'm not sure why; I'm not complaining though!

There were plenty of chances for both sides and it was even for the most part. However, in the second half, Spurs upped their game and looked the better side. On 52 minutes, Aaron Lennon took the ball down, wrong footed Ashley Cole in the box and slotted it home. Quite contraversially, John Terry got sent off with a second yellow card but despite many replays, I still don't know what it was for. Again, I'm not complaining - it's about time we had some luck.
Chelsea came close to making it 2-2 with Robben hitting the post but we managed to hold on for one of the most memorable victories in recent years.



You could say it's been a good week, with a 3-1 win against Bruges on Thursday. At last, we're on the up! And....another reason to remember the 5th of November.
