Not being stupid enough to pay the exorbitant costs charged by 'Sky' for watching their television service, I didn't see last night's Champions' League match between AC Milan and Tottenham. Instead, I followed the action through internet news updates and. as a Spurs supporter for almost 50 years, became increasingly excited as the match proceeded and the visitors appeared to be holding their own.
When I found that Spurs had actually taken the lead, joy was unconfined ! That they manged to maintain the lead to the end must make this game one of the, if not the, greatest in Tottenham's long history. Adding this result to those of the earlier games against Inter Milan must make all we long-suffering Spurs supporters start to believe that this team is now really ready to challenge the best in Europe.
Harry Redknapp has achieved something remarkable since his arrival at 'the Lane'. Suddenly, a team that so often promised much and then let down its supporters, is actually achieving results that even the most ardent fans have long given up hope of. We may well still lose this tie against AC Milan, but whatever the outcome, Spurs are back at the top table of European football; now all they have to do is stay there.
