Tottenham’s great adventure is brought to agonising end
Bouncing on the line as the clock struck 90 minutes, there was a moment when it felt as if the ball was deciding whether Tottenham Hotspur had done enough to deserve a bit of good fortune, a lucky kick off the grass.
Of course Wembley has known previous agonies about the ball crossing the line and here, almost as if the stadium was frozen, we watched to see if it would spin into the net, perhaps bounce in off Gianluigi Buffon’s back to save Spurs and take this brilliantly compelling contest into extra time. Another 30 minutes? Most of us would have been delighted.
what a ****

“Other clubs never came into my thoughts once I knew Arsenal wanted to sign me.”
The football coverage is **** - since they got Winter. Cricket and rugby coverage is excellent. I like the rest of the paper as well - some excellent political commentators from both sides of the spectrum. Of course it was never going to be as good after I left
Both Matthew Parris and Caitlin Moran do appear to have suffered some sort of catastrophic mental breakdown, though. It's quite disturbing these days, reading their interminable gibberish; the same nonsense, over and over again, as if they're screaming into a void and getting nothing back.
