Just want some perspective on the Adebayor song. His dad was filmed washing an elephant and the footage was shown on TV. What is racist about that? Surely it is just a completely random, funny tongue in cheek song? The whore bit is far more offensive, but again not racist, surely the Wenger paedo song or Campbell song is more likely to offend?

Millwall fan here LOVING Spurs at the minute, they are a ’soft spot’ team for a lot of neutrals and are certainly my Premiership team. King and Woodgate (but King especially) were outstanding and I can’t wait to see how it will unfold at WHL over the next year. Proper excitement is rare in the Prem but watching Spurs is always a blast. Your quality description and emotive prose is outstanding as ever Bagel, the Gooners that come here are clearly just harvesting your turn of phrase to recycle on their own sad little threads ;o)

Great post!

Lovely writing as usual Bagel. Having shared the whole Sunday Wembley experience with you I couldn’t wait to read your report. It was worth waiting for… It is now Thursday and we still have rosy glow on our faces in the office and at home - a feeling of utter contentment. I’m so glad that at last you and Charlie have experienced what I did in the early 60s - REAL SUCCESS! Enjoy the moment this week - there will be lots more. Thank you for your friendship on the terraces!

Stewie

Also some stuff on you tube from Melbourne and Hong Kong.

How about some footage of the Portuguese Yids doing their thing?

5 minutes from Faces eh? I salute you my fellow Essex Yid.

Hornchurch, thanks for that!
“We’re the Yids in America!” I LOVED that song!
And then all those videos shot inside & outside Wembley, they were the perfect accompaniment to your script, Bagel! It’s just like being there, just great for all of us far away. Actually sent shivers down my spine.

Ha! Thank you Bagel and all - Lily the Yid was enthralled at the final - although she did sleep through extra time. ( think it was the stress)

You are right Bagel, the season has already been a success. But it’s not over… I hope the players don’t relax too much. We are still in the bottom half.

Bagel and everyone else

If you haven’t already done it, check out the New York Spurs mob going mental watching the game. You can see them on You Tube if you type in “New York Spurs” or vist nyspurs.com

Top banana in the big apple!

Hey Bagel,

Lovely report…

Shame we didn’t meet up, I sat in the Chelsea eand, was a real experience I can tell you.

The end of the game was a relief cos it meant i didn’t get my head kicked in!

Ramos is a genius, up the Spurs, see you at the UEFA Cup final.

I totally agree with you Bagel. It wasn’t the final whistle, it wasn’t the champagne, it wasn’t the fireworks……it was that big, happy smile on Ledleys face, after so much pain and disappointment, he’s finally achieved what he deserves.
