Was going to write this when the game finished when it was 1-0
So proud of the boys today. I expected to lose against Utd, I always do. I expected to put in a plucky performance but then get undone by a combination of our own suicidal tendencies and dubious refereeing.
Instead we lose today having played the great champions elect Utd off the park. With them scoring from their only meaningful chance. Having been cynical dirty fucks all game, as they always are when its not going their way. Having played against Chris Foy as well as 11 men. In a blizzard. Without Sandro, without Adebayor, without Vertonghen...
I am really proud that for once we went at them on an equal footing and got the better of them (if not in scoreline). This was not a plucky performance from an underdog, it was a solid, quality performance from a team that more and more looks the real deal.
The ridiculous thing is, also, that whenever I see us play this season it is clear that we are no where near 100% of what this team is shaping up to be.
Imagine what will happen when we finally nail our final third play?!
Really chuffed today, even in the face of defeat.
Then the Deuce played his part
And I wonder if that was a real watershed in our season. We did not give up. If a team was going to score it was only going to be us. We lacked finese in the final third all day but through sheer force of will got the ball across the line. That looked to me like the performance we will look back in time as the moment we turned from being best of the rest to genuine top table team.
Its a fucking draw, but Im giddy right now.
Giddy that we just played them off the park while being far from our best.
Giddy at what might be if we can keep ourselves on this trajectory.
Seriously, quality play in the final third and the skies the limit!

Had my Spurs hating gooner nephew over for the day. He got abuse after their defeat, but thought he would hang around to watch Man Utd "fucking murder" us.
He had a great laugh when I said we were playing well and dominating them and I was asked "What's the fucking score then?". Needless to say I asked him the same question as he stormed out...Fucking priceless...

GET EM, CARL!
Thank you Clint Dempsey
I have never been much of a fan, and despite the rest of the game - I will never ever forget you for what you did today, which was to add a modicum of reality to todays score.
Aaron Lennon - an inspiration to all Tottenham players and fans. You were awesome today.

njured Spurs midfielder Sandro on Twitter: "Yesss.... Great guys. I always believed you could do it. Come on you Spurs."
Surely BAEs got to start from now on. Maybe give Naughts a go on the right?
Walker has got the tools but hes having a mare at the moment. Just needs the pressure taken off him, how many games on the bounce now?

I'd just like to take a moment to point out the irony in this post from a few weeks ago...
