If we won, big if

Would Hugo get a winners medal assuming we go with Vrom and Friedel

I am pretty sure he's going to play Hugo

After sticking with Vorm throughout? Michel 'The Penalty Killer' Vorm?

Just my onions mate. Hugo is a match winner and a world class player. You don't leave a match winning world class player on the bench for a final, particularly one against a team like Chelsea who will be hammering at us from the go get.

I agree to be honest. Will be interesting to see that decision being made. Also if it does come to penalties he could always pull a van Gaal at the World Cup.

I've made a monumental cock-up

I spent the last few weeks twisting the arm of 'er indoors to give me a hall pass for Fiorentina away (which happens to be on her birthday, see). Not even considering or thinking about this. Now there is no way on God's good earth i am getting to go to Wembley a few days after

Fek fek fek fek fek

Divorce an option?

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Divorce an option?

If i went, almost a certainty!

But i don't want to get divorced, no no no.

It was 126 for the 2008 final. I missed out by approx 8 I think. Slightly higher for the Chelsea game if I recall, around 135?

Got to ask my mate where he wants to sit, we was upper tier front row for the Chelsea semi and the atmosphere was a bit shit.

You have to be lower tier for any atmosphere at Wembley

Lennon destroying Evra sticks out... Honestly looked like one of the best right wingers in Europe at the time!! :-(

The story goes that as a result, Fergie told Evra that when he played against Lennon in the future, if he let Lennon boss him again, Evra would never play for United again (add hairdryer for effect). If my memory serves me, Lennon didn't do all theat well against him too often after that.

My knees were fooking trembly
But Spurs are going to Wembley
Come on you Spurs
Come on you Spurs

We say 'fackin' down 'ere son!!

 

[shelfmonkey]

I am so excited I had a celebration meal last night...

That looks like a horribly diseased minge!!

Or the back rows with the members!

We're going for upper tier front rows if possible. If we turn up there should be an atmosphere all over our end anyway.

'81 was my first final with '82 being the first one that really stuck in mind. I got to stay up late to watch the '84 Uefa Final on tele. The best moment of my 34 years following Spurs. '87 broke me and reduced me to tears. The '00 League Cup loss to Blackburn stung too. The domestic Cups get some stick these days but it still means alot.

Saying that, in the past 10-15 years the highlight for me is arguably the night we qualified for the Champions League, away at City. I was buzzing that night. A cup win should really trump 4th place in the league but that night was special.

Even at 2:30pm on a snowy Thursday afternoon, sober and stuck at my desk, I love my club. Wouldn't change it for Chelsea/Man City 'doped' club status even if we win less. Genuinely.

My god, what you gonna buy if we actually win it!?

 

[Jimmypearce7]

All things being equal this will be the eight time i have seen Spurs in the League Cup Final. As excited now as i was for the first in 1971!

It was great and pretty cheap too - you can talk to the Driver via Helmet Micophones - he will go as fast as you dare to ask him

31,000 is what we're getting from what I've seen.

Got to let 30,000 corporates and guests in, otherwise how would we generate an atmosphere?

Great to get to a final, shame it's against arch-winners Chelsea. Well done from Poch on rotating the squad sufficiently and taking this semi-final seriously.

Will hopefully go a long way to convincing players like Lloris and Eriksen that it is possible to win silverware at this club.

We can beat chelsea and its about time we became serial winners again.

We can beat chelsea and its about time we became serial winners again.

Absolutely. This is a really good point.

We've won two trophies over the past 24 years; three in 31. And while a great many clubs would be thrilled with that - or even just the one trophy - Tottenham Hotspur has to aim for much, much better.

Really good teams don't win just the one trophy at a time and then wait 8 or 9 years for the next one. They win two, three or four in a cluster. We used to do that too. And we won't be regarded as a truly great club - even a great cup competition club - until we start doing it again.
