That was a magical moment. Some people remember certain goals or certain games, but sometimes it's the indirect moments that are just as special.
The ones that stand out from Sunday are the fantastic atmosphere throughout, the resurgence in atmosphere 5 minutes after going 2-0 down, the lone fan who started the everywhere we go chant as we walked down the Wembley stairs, that then turned into a full blown chant (almost as a sign that even though we were defeated we actually can't be defeated) and the continuation of the chants once we were outside of Wembley.
We just need to remember these moments, and make sure we keep this attitude up regardless of how we perform and what direction we are going.

Mabbutt is my all-time favourite player from my youth - more so even that Hoddle. i know i've mentioned this before but when he retired i wrote a letter to the club asking them to retire the No. 6 shirt !! (never got a reply).

I see that one of the policemen is Harry Kane's father
Wanna know about our fans? Make no mistake about it, they're bad. Up there in racism incidents and arrests with chelsea and spam. That's awful.
But yesterday, they were brilliant and the noise was brilliant. Thankfully, we kept it clean and are not being investigated for racism. Unlike Chelsea who now got themselves a 2nd seperate investigation of racism.

Absolutely spot on!
Amazing difference between after Pompey semi final and yesterday, oddly it didn't feel like a defeat going back to the tube.

Chatting to some chelsea fans late on last night they acknowledged we were much louder and their experience of the day (behind the goal) lacked atmosphere.
They said lots of the fans stood with their backs to the play watching the screen.
Also said many were asian tourists recording on ipads

Amazing that a relatively new fan from overseas is trying to inform a group of fans, who attend games, on how we behave on match days
We're talking about.......what, 20 something arrests over the course of a year? Among 34,000 Spurs fans at home games and, on average, 2-3,000 at away games. As many as 60 games in total.
That's a minuscule proportion (still too big, mind). And the difference between the worst offending clubs and the least is even more minuscule. Furthermore, that difference can quite possibly be put down to higher intolerance of racist abuse among Spurs fans who subsequently report such behaviour - leading to the arrest of the offender. At other clubs, such abuse might pass unreported.
Lastly, of course, the figures in question were from the year when the police decided to arrest Spurs fans for chanting "yid" or "yiddo" - which is clearly not racist behaviour, even though it was temporarily deemed as such. So the figure for Spurs arrests will inevitably have been distorted.
Of course there are racists and bigots among Spurs' support. Football fans are a subset of society. Not vice versa. Therefore, it is inevitable that society's ills will be visited upon football. But Spurs most certainly has (and has long had) one of the safest, most inclusive and most welcoming environments for players and fans of diverse ethic backgrounds. Equally, the club has long been among the most intolerant of racism.
Take it from someone who has been attending games for 30 years and actually knows - rather than having merely read some random stat about arrests.

Shame I was sat next to 5 smug Chelsea mugs in the spurs section of club Wembley. It was my worst nightmare and I now see why normal people sometimes behave completely irrationally at the game in the heat of the battle. Me and my mate were antagonised from minute one as in true Spurs fashion we were singing at the top of our voices from the off. It was horrible watching them celebrate their two goals whilst making digs at us. I can honestly say it was the first time I have ever wanted to smack someone at a game and I had to leave at the point where one numpty sat in front of me produced a lump of celery. Obviously I told him to shove it up his arse as I left. I hate everything to do with that shower of a football club and I look forward to the day where we have our new stadium and team made up of predominantly academy products who can compete at the top level having done things the right way. That's why we're Spurs and we wouldn't change for the world.
Oh and even having left in injury time there were Chelsea fans mixed in with us in Wembley way. Sums them up that they didn't even wait to see their team lift the trophy. Plastics!!!!!
Everywhere We Gooooooooooooo! COYS
