Tottenham Memorabilia

The wait is over, the Carling Cup Final is here, another exciting day in prospect full of nerves and drama.  Players excelling themselves, others performing below expectations as the occasion gets the better of them.

The beauty of cup finals is you don’t know who it is going to happen to, how each individual will react and how that affects the team as a whole.

Both sides have “big game” players but that guarantees nothing.  The retoric you see throughout the papers from players saying they are ready, up for it etc etc some genuine, some masking nerves.

It’s a chance for former Spurs greats to have their say and voice their support and get involved in the day, players like cup winner Graham Roberts, who is travelling to Wembley by coach from White Hart Lane with 53 fans, Pat Jennings once rated the world’s best goalkeeper above Gordon Banks, the wing wizzard David Ginola, former captain Gary Mabbutt, the media have wheeled out programmes on Ossie Ardiles and Ricky Villa.

let’s hear that song one more time ringing from the rafters at Wembley and around the pubs and clubs at the end of the game “Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur.”

Make us proud boys.

Welcome to the new Tottenham Memorabilia blog, the easy way for you to keep up our take on the news surrounding the world’s greatest club, Tottenham Hotspur FC.

Let me draw your attention to a nice little webpage devoted to Jermaine Jenas at www.hubpages.com/Jermain-Jenas our industrious midfielder.

So we have two goalkeepers who drop clangers. Radek Cerny, when I have watched him play, seems to have no spring in his legs. He dosen’t dive very far to his right or left and that causes me concern. He has looked safe in the air and then makes the most elementary mistake which was solely down to concentration.

Robinson was a fine goalkeeper until losing confidence, if that can be repaired then he will be a fine stopper again.

Against Slavia Prague Spurs didn’t even try, they should have killed that game 4-0 by half time and then started preparing for the Carling Cup Final. As it is they can not rest and have to do a job 3 days before facing Chelsea, not ideal.
