C O Y S !

I can picture the look on your face when you realise you're in the Chelsea end !!

Enjoyed reading that.

Good grief! Standards have dropped.Must have run out of Moet and moved on to Clairol

From what I could make out of the TV coverage, it seems there were a fair number of Spurs fans at the Chelsea end. The lower tier was all but empty by the end, but the upper tier seemed pretty full, or was it just people hanging back to get more shampoo?

sounded like an awful weekend! 'ave it!

Glad you're home safely Jan. Great summary. I'm glad those south London Chavs didn't try to mess with you. In the immortal words of Bob Hoskins, "there would have been an ERUPTION!".

Still drunk and still smiling I assume?

There were loads more Spurs than Chelski, maybe 75% Spurs. I think they way they do it is that the whole of that tier is Club Wembley, all the way round, and a lot of those tickets were given to Spurs fans or bought by Spurs fans. As you said, at the end you cd see it was all white.

One thing was also funny, after the chelski fans all left there were tiny pockets of fans left in their corner and they were Spurs fans too who had been under-cover for the whole game!

It was so funny just to wave at them, blow them kisses and wind them up. They were seething so much I thought they were going to explode. There was no way they cd get to us so we were free to do what we wanted to them. They didn't watch the game for about 20 mins, just looked up at us and gestured they were going to slit our throats. And then when they all left we waved them away with royal waves, like the queen. Classic.

Yes, still a bit drunk and still very happy.

I loved the image of Ramos standing at the edge of the technical area there with his arms folded towards the end of the game with all the Spurs fans ranked behind him. He is the General of the Yid Army and I'd follow him to the depths of hell (Eastlands in May) and back!

Must be hilarious!

I'm with you Janek. IF we make it to Eastlands there ain't no way I'm missing that.

On the Chelsea uk webpage there's talk of a couple of thugs coming to Hong Kong to " search for that yido w**ker waving like a royal jerk who goes under the name Janek".

You know that cave we saw on Cheung Chau island.......

I say: BRING EM ON!

We'll lure them down to the cave, Ozspur can scamper into them to elad them deeper in and then we'll get the local pirates to cut them up!

'ave it.

I have my ticket stub, a programme and one of the flags that they gave out. I can bring them along on Sat night as a sort of show and tell.

ETP - did you get anything like that? You back in HK yet?

What I thought was a nice gesture was that they as soon as I got home to the UK my mother bought me a brand new toy, an A5ena1 fan on a piece of string, she told me to kick its fucking head in!

I'm flying tonight. Stayed Monday to catch up with uni friends.

I'll post a full report re: my day upon my return. It started in a west end strip club early on Sunday morning... it ended with me above the royal box, in tears... zooming in on Ledley with my massive camera lens.

I have stub and programme, annoyed I did not get a rosette but didn't want to buy one before the match to jinx it.

Love it ETP, looking forward to seeing your pictures.

I was the same, didn't want to buy a rosette or extra programmes in case I was jinxing it. I'm sure Generalissimo Levy will ensure there is plenty of league cup final tat in the Spurs shop for us to gorge ourselves on. I saw on the website today that they're already trying to seel more copies of the Opus on the back of it - "100 exclusive copies signed by the league cup winning team" etc etc

In our box we had 17 spurs fans to 2 Chelsea fans. They were giving it large at HT but by the end of the match had absconded, run away like the rest of their cowardly carefree brethren. You could see all the neutral areas on the halfway line were clearly all spurs too.
