Premier League - Carling Cup

Congratulations to the Tottenham Hotspur for winning the Carling Cup! I only watched the highlights, but it seemed that the game was won and lost by the coaches.

Juande Ramos, who has never lost a cup final in now his sixth triumph, came in and revived the Spur's defense. Yes, the starting of the poor-formed Paul Robinson was a little dubious for my taste - and he did cost them their goal. Luckily, the new signing, Jonathan Woodgate (who, in a previous post, I said was the best mid-season signing) saved the day and scored the winning goal.

His counterpart, Avram Grant, seemed to make many strategic mistakes, esp. partnering Drogba and Anelka up front in an awkward 4-3-3; and leaving Joe Cole on the bench until it was too late.
