I'm a True Blue. Yay.
I was highly anticipating the Carling Cup final match between Chelsea and Spurs. I was expecting us to win. Not because I don't think Spurs can beat us. But because I know Chelsea can win. There's a difference, see.
Alas, it wasn't meant to be. Spurs beat us 2-1, fair and square. They secured the win few mins into extra time. Some may argue that Wayne Bridge didn't touched the ball intentionally, hence the penalty that gave spurs their first goal shouldn't have been given. But i prefer not to dwell on what-ifs. Let's give Spurs the credits they deserved. Like us, they fought hard. Which brought the match to extra time. And anyhow, I still have soft spots for underdogs so it's somehow a win-win situation.
And the loss could be a blessing in disguise. My Chelsea guys better work their blue socks off and gun for the remaining 3 cups we are still in the running for .
