Chelsea Spur-ned

Tottenham Hotspurs won the Carling Cup -- their first trophy since 1999 -- by upsetting Chelsea 2-1 in extra time on Sunday. Looks like Spurs nuevo manager Juande Ramos is picking up in England where he left off in Espana after littering Sevilla's cabinets with hardware during his two season tenure with the Andalusians.

Meanwhile, the Blues inner turmoil continues to roil as Avram Grant's competency is openly questioned and rumors surface of a John Terry and assistant coach Henk ten Cate bust-up the day before the match. Somewhere the Special One is laughing.

Love Berbetov's game - one of the most graceful players in the Premiership. Expect him to get snatched up by one of the bigger clubs soon.

I haven't had a chance to see him play yet... looking fwd to it. I just love that someone other than the Big Four has won a tournament. Would be cool to see Spurs compete in the CL in upcoming years. It's also great to see that "The Magic Juande" has continued to solidify his King of Cups status with a trophy in England. The guy is Mourinho minus the $ and attitude.
