tottenham hotspur won the carling cup this afternoon in a 2 -1 victory over chelsea at wembley.
yes, it’s only the carling cup… but this is the first trophy i’ve ever seen tottenham win. and this creates momentum for the rest of this season as well as gives meaning to a season plagued by underperformance.

on the soccer note… the association of football statisticians’ list of the 100 greatest footballer ever.
if you know football, you should be shocked, disgusted, and/or enraged. then again, these are statisticians, and there’s plenty that can’t be quantified in the beautiful game.

Finally got around to finishing Fever Pitch today. I had held out on reading this book in the first place for so long because of the author’s unabashed allegiance to Arsenal. Hornby’s one of the more engaging writers I’ve read in a while. This is a must read for any and all soccer fans (including Spurs fans like myself).
Hornby constantly refers to ‘football’ as a metaphor, and with the past 36 hours Tottenham and myself have had, I couldn’t agree more.
