I can't believe the luck Tottenham have had since Christmas.

I'm still calling for Fulop to be investigated for match rigging after his performance against Arsenal last week.

Today wasn't a total surprise but I'm glad I'm a Spurs fan. I don't think I'd ever be happy winning playing boring football. Entertainment and putting a show is the joy of the game for me. I'd rather fail spectacularly than dully grind it out. I am made for my club............

You make your own luck over 38 games James, and the sad fact is we should have never succumbed 3rd spot to the Arse. We played badly the second half of the season, and for me 'Arry is at fault. He literally played his top 11 week in week out when he didn't need to and they ran out of juice. Gutted, but there you go.

Obviously, would have liked Bayern to win yesterday but the one saving grace is that JT had to sit it out and watch longingly from the sidelines ..

Alof of factors to consider. I'm not sure players are necessarily jaded but by playing the "top 11" every week I think alot of players sit back knowing they are guaranteed a place on the team sheet.

Pienaar is a good footballer and Jenas and Pavlyachenko weren't terrible. These are players that had the manager swapped in and out I think would have kept other players on their toes.

I'm not sure Modric did enough defensively this season and if another club offers us 40+ million it should definately be considered.

Ledley King is shot now aswell. He has played alot of games for the club and made alot of money but it is time he did the right thing. He should have his testimonial and leave the club.

Lots of questions for Harry to ponder in the summer.

What do you think will happen now at Chelsea in terms of the manager?

Abromovich has won the European Cup. His dream is accomplished. Will he keep investing?

l think rdm has done a great job as temp manager, but l do not think he will be given
the job full time.
l have heard that hiddink has a escape clause in his contract with the russian club something ra might look at good coach in my opinion.
l would love to see the special one back, talk of the french coach(not for me)or the ex barcelona boss, hiddink or jose for me.

to be honest l think he will continue to invest but for how long l am just not sure

I think BF Sammy is the man for the job. He is perfect for a team that plays Cheshite's brand of non-football (at the highest level of course).

The grapes would appear to be somewhat sour in Germany this season........

Bayern - runners up in three competitions this season. Bayern lost 5 out of the last 6 european cup/champions league finals they've been in.
