Spurs are on their way to Wembley!

Spurs 5 Gooners 1

WEMB-ER-LEY! WEMB-ER-LEY!

The atmosphere at the Lane was absolutely amazing - I've experienced nothing like it before, this being my first North London derby ever. The chanting, singing and clapping was non stop for 90 minutes. I'm so glad I persuaded my other half to go to a mid-week game despite him having to get up at 5:30 in the morning. It was so worth the £61 per ticket to be there and witness what was a massacre on the pitch and I have to say this was one of the most enjoyable nights of my entire life.


Scorers: Jenas, Bendtner og, Keane, Lennon, Malbranque






















Every Spurs player gave 100% effort tonight. With this kind of determination and work rate, we could beat anyone. I just hope this isn't a one-off. They need to give this display every game and if they do, we will be back up there with the big boys.

Going into the game, I admit I had my reservations; last year's semi-final was still at the forefront of my mind and I could see the same happening again. However, how wrong I was!
I couldn't have imagined a 5-1 scoreline in my wildest dreams. To beat Arsenal 1-0 would have been fantastic; this was just pure ecstasy. Spurs could've scored even more as Berbatov had a fantastic chance in the first half, one on one with the goalkeeper and somehow managed to hit the post. In the second half, Defoe had time to control the ball and then shoot but chose to hit it first time, and it was a foot wide of the post.

Throughout the game, Spurs dominated, passed the ball around beautifully, made great runs and the defense was superb. Ledley really makes a huge difference. The only slightly tentative part of the game was when Spurs were 4-0 up and Ramos substituted both Berbatov and Keane for Defoe and Boateng. Personally, I would've left Keane on. A few minutes later Arsenal brought on Adebayor and Eduardo and this was the only time in the game when we felt some pressure. When the Goons scored, nervous tension set in despite still being three goals ahead. We just been hurt so many times before. However, their moment was short lived and the game was finished off nicely with a late goal from Malbranque.

Whatever Mr. Ramos and co have done in training has clearly paid off and although I'll never forget what Martin Jol did for the club, we now have to look firmly forward and with even greater ambition.

Apart from the odd concert or two, I doubt I have ever jumped up and down so much in my entire life! My feet were killing me after the game as everyone was standing instead of sitting; the stewards didn't bother on this occasion to sit people down. John ended up standing on the seat. Fortunately we were right at the back of East Upper so no-one was behind us. After the final whistle it was manic. The players gathered in the centre circle in a group hug and jumped up and down too. No-one wanted to leave. However, when we did exit the stadium it was like a street party was taking place in the rain. The fans were on such a high.

I have to tell you about something John said as we walked away from the Lane because he had me creasing up. "So what round of the cup was that then" he asked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I said " ARE YOU SERIOUS?, why do you think we were all singing about Wembley? Bless. He's just a bit slow. I'll be so gutted if I don't manage to get a ticket for the final. As a Lillywhite member, I won't get priority and they have only allocated 31,204.

I think I will just end this blog with a sing song. All together now......

"Que Sera Sera
Whatever will be will be
We're going to Wemb-er-ley
Que Sera Sera"

"Spurs are on their way to Wembley
Tottenham's gonna do it again
They can't stop us
The boys from Tottenham
The boys from White Hart Lane"....
