Capital Ram raid – League cup final 2007/08

















Ramos had declared war
“eleven v eleven”
"It's a game of 90 minutes”
To separate the boys from the men

Psychology on the keeper had worked a treat
I for one was never in doubt
Had Banksy returned, many asked
As Robbo staged a one man block out

And what foolish ploy would lead
To leaving Cole on the bench
It was a case of too little to late
Juande’s grin masked by a clench

Jenas a picture for offensive football
Dumi, Barmby, Klinsmann, Sheri, Anderton,
Ardiles and his diamonds all over
Read Keane, Berba, Malbranque, Lennon

Sanchez Pizjuan became Wembley
As the gaffer continued his hot streak
Breathtaking play carving chance after chance
Left Avram’s boys feeling rather meek

Chimbo’s sub strop was comical at best
Tainio tightening up the wing
Hud as always was a picture of calm
Long live the (Ledley) king

A thought for Dawson and O’ Hara
Vital cogs in a well oiled machine
Hurrah to Hutton and Woody
Despite newly arrived to the scene

So bragging rights go to Kaboul and Zokora
North London connoisseurs
The Ramos factor cannot be ignored
Glory, glory Tottenham Hotspurs
